  1. You know... Back before the war broke out, I used to be a saucier down in San Antonio.

  2.  @lucky_-1y  Yep because they just wanted a ww2 themed call of duty, instead of the trench warfare, period accurate battlefield 1916 we wanted. Babies be like, "aaaa, what is this slow firing garbage gun. I want a machine gun! uuuugh, so duuuumb" Battlefield was good because it wasn't Call of duty, now... You can't even fly planes properly, let alone take off and land, or skipper an aircraft carrier.

  4. What if his first hand account was from an enemy? Anyway, I could definitely see prioritizing fire on a guy when you can see their clip fly out, or peaking out of cover when you hear a ping, because you know the other guy is reloading. You also have to consider tones when discussing destructive and constructive interference. But It does seem highly unlikely that it is an EXTREME detriment. The people who would have the most valuable opinion on the matter are either dead from the issue, or were the oposing force. This is the first time I have heard any of this, but myths are often not entirely based on nothing, even if it was merely an instance of one guy getting killed because the enemy could better time their shots or advances. As easy as it is to misattribute something because of the confusion of a situation it is also easy to wrongfully dismiss a concern due to the perception of that same confusion.

  6. Well for one, had they been smart about the whole thing NATO would have had the .280 FAL. But If the US adopted the FAL would the M4 even exist??

  7. This is why you failed that business writing course, you can make it more concise: Bullet Spray

  8. They should, everyone else is doing it these days. "You STOLE, x,y, &z!". Re: "Spoils of war", "British funded historical preservation project", etc. "GIVE IT Back!" Re:"You weren't taking care of it yourself and this is human history not just your own country's (that didn't even exist at the time)". "Theif!". Re: "fine"

  11. Well the website no longer exists so...

  13. The fact that so many claims were withdrawn, should be considered evidence of a frivolous lawsuit. But I don't know, that may just be something they can counter sue for should they win the rest.

  14. ugly gun but I like the concept.

  15. I feel like this was inspiration for sci-fi weapons.

  16. I like the grip panels on this but prefer the look of the standard shape. Of course, if it handles better this way then that's the way it ought to be.

  17. The muzzle area resembles the mauser.

  18. Did they steal BFG from Doom? Lame

  19. So, inducing twist and narrowing tolerances would likely substantially improve the accuracy. Specialized projectile construction with different ferromagnetic content distributions, should allow you to play with twist.

  20. Even I am interested in buying a book on the Chinese pistols. I hope you are able to find some detailed information relating to the craftsmen/women who have designed and manufactured these unique but impressive hand made oddities. They deserve some recognition (even if it is impossible to do so by name).

  22. Or even just making an even better gun and pushing them out of the market.

  23. I was hoping.

  24. Oh no YT a gun that fires in repeated succession without individual trigger pulls. Better yank all of your action movies you are selling.

  25. Not just a matter of people but resources as well. Remember Ukraine didn't push back into Russia and take their territory as well, they are fighting from a weakened position while Russia operates as normal on the other side of the border (save for recent drone attacks). They lost a nuclear power plant, they lost their ports, farms, towns, Cities, industries... And they are dumping resources onto the front lines. The country is bleeding, in more ways than one. If they want to reduce Net losses, or dissuade Russia, and end the conflict sooner.... Ukraine probably needs to pull out every ounce of strategy, weaponry, and coordination they have, and push all out. Whatever needs to be done to take out the kergy(?) bridge and cut supply. Followed up with extra pressure. lines, board/capture russian Vessels. Before N. Korea gives them artillery ammunition (maybe it's too late). I know the world (Especially UN) failed Ukraine by letting it happen, (reminding countries everywhere they can actually get away with taking what they want and the rest of the world won't just stamp them out) and letting crimea happen before, but Ukraine may fail itself by allowing a war of attrition. I wish everyone the best of luck, I know it's not an eaay thing and I appreciate their constant sacrifices for their homeland. I pray that the war ends soon and everyone can go home (for whatever little my prayers and foreign support is worth to soldiers on the battlefield).

  26. Should probably buy the Euro while we can.

  28. After learning about all this, Colt may be a symbol of the American dream and ingenuity. But... He's just a charlatan, and represents the worst of that individualistic singleminded pursuit of wealth. His team made a working product, cool. But that's what happens when you take other people's work and pass it off as your own.

  29. Now you have to buy a FAL.

  30. Why do you think Great Britain didn't want to give them guns? lol
    2
  31. I think when/if we widely adopt non-projectile weapons, people will look back and make electro-mechanical pistols and wonder why the hell we didn't.

  32. Are you... pumped about it?
    2
  33. Do these cost notably less than an AR-15, or do these function notably better than other good 9mm SMGs? I just don't see the appeal.
    2
  34. Well considering the circumstances...
    2
  35. Even non-gun enthusiasts should be interested in this.

  36. A fixed front facing magazine under, or over, the barrel would make a lot of sense for firing prone... and it looks cool. (I know the p90 already does it)

  37. There are a lot of those.

  38. I don't know they should also have an extremely heavy rifle so that their troops are still reasonably uniform in build. Besides you don't want your riflemen getting AHEAD of your machine gunner, that's just asking to get shot in the back. No it should be slightly heavier than the machinegun, if anything.

  39.  @resmarted  You have a poor grasp of economics and market forces if that is your go to explaination for what is being described.

  43. I could have sworn we don't allow any short barrelled shotguns

  44. A low bore axis is all the rave. This would give hudson a run for their money. lol
