  1. You could shorten that list by detailing what it wouldn't do. A whole helluva lotta physics would be going down, and forensics teams would have to request a budget increase

  9. I would submit that alot of the reason you didn't see the 5.7x28 in PDW's/Pistols take off in NATO aresenals is because H&K threw their weight into the adoption process by NATO, because they wanted their 4.6x30 round adopted. Due to the deadlock Germany's sole objection caused, Belguim's 5.7 round was sidelined because the entire process was frustrated. In the end, it all came down to contracts and money, and everyone said "Fuck it, we'll just stick with 9mm because it's not worth the hassle". H&K has serious Kraut Clout, and don't like playing second fiddle to FN. Even US AMC (Army Materiel Command) had supported the 5.7, and some of our aviators are issued P90's for flight ops on such missions as international drug interdiction. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FN_P90

  15. I do love that electronically fire managed (but still pressure operated) paintball markers are the reliable, competitive norm today when solely mechanical guns are the ones always broken down for troubleshooting on a table, but the Firearms market still obeys the "if it was good enough for my Pa, it's good enough for me" ethic. Push-button adjustable fire rate & gas management for suppressors/altitude adjust, anyone? No?

  17.  @seanmac1793  Were you there during WW Deuce? I got news for you, no one gets more CAB trigger time behind a crew serve these days than an 88M. That's a truck driver. The Logi Lines are always Target #1, and the MSR's are where they do their bloody business. For the record, we rack our weapons next to the cannon on the battery firing line.

  20.  @ScottKenny1978  The funniest part is watching your CO ask a bush-league back-alley arms dealer in the Adamiyah district of Baghdad for a paper receipt after buying a bunch of loose-and-questionable AK ammo to supply the Iraqi National Guard company you've been training. Because he doesn't take credit cards, your interpreter had to tell you where to find him, and the ING's are being evasive about why all their ordnance and ammo is disappearing. Literal black market logistics chain.

  44.  @MagicSquid  Yeah, I didn't see they had already posted a shoot on the InRange page until a while after I saw this. After watching that one, I didn't see them try to fire it with the stupid forward eject port/dust cover doo-hicky popped off. It wouldn't appear to be dangerous or malfunction inducing to do so, it's only impeding the action rather than being integral to it. Probably would have solved most of their problems to just let the spent brass dribble out the side, so long as Ian wore long sleeves for when that hot case drops down on his elbow :P If that is the source of the majority of it's malfunctions due to a stoppage during the eject cycle, then pop that sonofabitch off, keeping the ejector level cover in place on the side you put your cheek weld

  45. It's crazy to know that, technically, the damn thing is still in service in the form of the MG 3. Just rechambered for 7.62 NATO with modern materials and tooling. It's almost as commonly used as our 240 Bravo/FN MAG. Blew my mind when I thought I saw an MG 42 on a Turkish Cobra uparmored car. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rheinmetall_MG_3

  49. I appreciate that they didn't make the cog teeth flush and perfectly machined to the round guide rail holes. This allows the inenitable buildup of field environment gunk to slide around and get pushed out of the mechanism rather than instantly jam it up with a single grain of sand caught inside of intolerantly tight tolerances.
