  1. I can hear the meetings between H&K branches "We have made a brand new police 9mm pistol!" -Europe "Great, does it come in .45?" -America sigh
    163
  2. this really seems like the army looking around and realizing there's been 30+ years of development on AR's and getting ahead of it again
    162
  3. just another 28 years and you'll have AKs that are 100 years old. That's scary
    154
  4. the beginning of german clockwerk magic
    148
  5. imagine being a guy who was a little slow with the bicycle and didn't make the train, and also would apparently missed the end of the war
    147
  6. time to box ian up and ship him out again
    138
  7. Stage 1 is like a 50 yard jog where you're expected to be a precision shooter after each jog, not sure I could do that especially by the final shots
    138
  8. Mauser: Make rifle flapper lock Mauser again: Make a pistol flapper lock Mauser yet again: Make machinegun flapper lock! H&K: Make literally everything roller or flapper delayed for the next 60 years
    134
  9. a black powder maxim must have been a hell of a sight, just a massive cloud of smoke
    133
  10. "Presumably cheaper to manufacture." oh so they stopped excessively stamping everythin-
    132
  11. swiss, the only country to hold a weapons trial through the entirity of ww2
    119
  12. its like the exact opposite of what they needed
    114
  13. 37mm HE machinegun, oh ya Maxim saw aircraft as something needed to be obliterated.
    111
  14. the M60 says "Papa...?"
    107
  15. mostly because cnc'ing is soooooo cheap and time efficient now, and that's 3 axis and pretty much every shop can afford at least a couple cnc cabinets now
    104
  16. "Now pay attention double-o-seven, take this standard H&K G3 Rifle, note the shortened barrel. Fires Point three-oh-Eight ammunition. Blinding your adversaries for a quick escape."
    95
  17. "And 5 of them went to one guy." there's a marketing and demographics joke in this somewhere.
    94
  18. an 1870s rifle with sights you cannot use, seems correct for the period
    93
  19.  @MrLoobu  bolts gonna break before a ball bearing
    93
  20. the front sight is elevation adjustable, windage is going to be sort of difficult.
    89
  21. "So simple, just make an AR but .50 cal" Serbu, probably.
    88
  22. Setting 1:No Bullet Setting 2: Light Crowd Control Setting 3: Make World War 2 Last Longer
    87
  23. James McIlvenny who touch heavy's gun!
    85
  24. I know 4 out of 5 bond villains preferred the sterling smg in its day
    85
  25. what a wild time when you could buy a brand new civil war revolver and jump into your model T
    83
  26. Does this make it a papa mauser? (I'll see myself out.)
    83
  27. we should have bombed germany's stamp factories. they would never have been able to manufacture anything without them.
    82
  28. this gun seems like it was really ahead of its time in some ways. That bolt looks pretty modern even though its for a totally different time.
    82
  29. "Ugh, I'm swiss and I want to target shoot but none of the target pistols out there are as complicated as my watch!" "Have we got the gun for you....!"
    80
  30. pops the action THUD "its a tremendously simple gun." gun is stronk!
    80
  31. this looks very well built yet also not overbuilt like you'd expect from italian guns
    76
  32. other tapes were available...
    74
  33. forgotten weapons: James D Julia Auction House Table "its uh seen a lot of historical firearms over the years. Legs fold up, and this decorative table cover is custom...that's about it."
    72
  34. Its like a cookie jar only a crate full of guns
    71
  35. but top loading makes a lot of sense for a vehicle weapon, more than a bottom loading gun depending on how its mounted
    71
  36. so they pulled a radar O'Riley on him by calling it a machine pistol
    70
  37.  @circleofsorrow4583  I think the issue is more that the prop company can't afford to buy a huge pile of uzi's so they buy a lot of cheaper stuff that looks like uzi's
    69
  38. What Would Eugene Stoner Do...if he needed a 50 BMG rifle
    66
  39. a fool and his money are easily parted.
    63
  40. "Today I have for you a single shot .38 pistol from the man who owned the rights to the revolver"
    63
  41. "Germans could have won WW2 with just this 1 trick!"

  42. the missing link between mauser and H&K
    62
  43. bloke in a shed, how britain does technology
    62
  44. El Guusko right, its hard to make a simple gun that doesn't explode. you can see someone who knew exactly what they could get out of their materials did a lot of very smart design work on this
    61
  45. Elbonia went and bought from a proper manufacturer, they bought Winchester Model 1911's thinking they were handguns
    61
  46. and the guide rod is connected to the...tappet piston, the tappet piston's connected to the...op rod. the op rod's connected to the...bolt head...
    58
  47. too bad they never put this into production, it looks like a beautiful gun
    57
  48. except when he's doing a bit like shouting scripture or communism
    56
  49. phased out but not forgotten.
    55
  50. it was an interesting time when you could as a small military, equip your force with superior weapons than your larger more imperial neighbors might be able to or were willing to
