  1. - TheNuttyGunNut - "they use their schools to teach hate..." when they're not running from gun toting maniacs.

  2. really comitted to the 72 round capacity. he could have fit like 30 rounds without needing to do cylindrical ammo

  3.  kevin lawrence  its not explicitly that its all cheap, older stuff especially electronics broke in a more routine way, but also could be fixed easier. Todays electronics like a tv can go 10 years without any component failing something unheard of even 20 years ago, but that also leaves a tv repair man unable to develop the skills or volume of business.

  4. "Sir, should we require compulsory ownership of service pattern rifles or sidearms?" Gasser: Yes

  5. Don't you mean their research branch on Deep Space Radio Emission

  6. Kyle Evans ya but good luck ever shooting it, 130 year old obsolete ammunition is probably a nightmare to find especially since it was a rimmed cartridge
    22
  7. "in the 20s the army developed a wooden bullet for practice." ya practice killing vampires.

  8. its said to summon a bunch of kreigsmariners from the grave
    22
  9. oh look Sons of Guns ruined a perfectly good firearm, real shock, glad they kicked the bucket
    21
  10. well, cold war smgs specifically were sheet metal wherever possible, polymer where needed after 1970. these were meant to be quality cheap guns
    21
  11.  @joshualance6005  something tells me the grunt that was issued this was probably not trusted with normal magazines
    20
  12. when you don't have a dozen generals and politicians telling you how to build your rifle then it can go together quite quickly
    20
  13. "This gun has 13 springs." also "This was the last gun this company ever made." Gee I wonder why? Probably that smudgy finish "It has ball bearings in the pistol under all the springs!" Oh wow.
    20
  14. this thing is like a steam engine that spits bullets with those back and forth cams and the hydraulic buffer
    20
  15. "Terrifying and fascinating at the same time." The chump that would have had to fire the potentially explosive springfield might not think so.

  16. 44WarmocK77 not even a serial number on the screws, tsk tsk

  17. buy a couple of sticks of dynamite at the corner store for that stump in the back yard while you're at it
    19
  18. probably didn't help that it's reputation went in the trash approximately around 1963

  19.  Graham  What we have here today is a 100 caliber, brick. Produced in kilns across Ireland, this came out of the factory in many colors, sizes, and glazes. Today we'll discuss how to tell if your brick was weaponized from the factory or afterwords by Shamash.

  20. I thought the only issue is 5.56 is essentially a hot loaded .223 meaning all the issues associated with hot rounds, but then there's hot loaded .223 out there these days anyways and there's certainly guns that are a bit overbuilt for .223 anyways

  21.  @charlesadams1721  Per the Official History of the Great Patriotic War 1967 Edition "The aid from the United States was inconsiquential." ya the US basically lifted the USSR and they were totally ungrateful for it
    19
  22. a really well designed if ultimately unsuccessful gun, 3 piece disassembly seems pretty impressive
    18
  23. William Terry sounds about as generic as James Bond
    18
  24. the manufacturer knows the coefficient of thermal expansion of the specific polymer blend and would have reams and reams of data from quality testing and would probably have picked a polymer that expands at a rate similar to the metal to prevent fatigue and cracking
    18
  25. starfleethastanks they also had that wicked four engined flying wing bomber as well, guess they only had the one though...

  26.  @LOL-zu1zr  when you fire you gotta shout "Daka daka daka!"
    18
  27. @airborneleaf brace the gun against your leg, fire 1 handed. Not sure how the bottom trigger would work with it. Also this person could have been disabled and rich enough to commission a shotgun, but not rich enough to commission a good shotgun
    18
  28. ya africa went to absolute shit in the 70s/80s because of so many factors but nobody seemed to do anything to stop it
    18
  29. "So can I get a few regular vickers for ground training?" "what's wrong with your air-cooled ones?" furious bureaucracy ensued
    18
  30. tactical miner's lamp
    18
  31. Mongo63a its still very much a 1st generation smg, heavy, made of wood and machined metal, and expensive
    17
  32. really makes you question the history book take on ethiopia's military strength going into ww2
    17
  33. Monte PR the NRA just need to stop being the face of the 2nd amendment period, they're just rediculous and always respond to any national tragedy with massive amounts of untrue scaremongering
    17
  34. 100 in the sun, 120 in the shade, 40 in Finland, no problems
    17
  35.  @Locutus494  its not like it couldn't have been prototyped in metal first, actually in metal this gun is probably a lot more reliable as the bolt has some heft to it
    16
  36. "its steampunk" does it have gears? "here's the gear in the reciever...and the gear in the loader" its steampunk alright
    16
  37. "Oh yes, this is a mark 1 - ** # 308 rebarrelled, marked by 4 different armories meaning.... I have no clue actually."
    16
  38. it looks like a g3 rifle if you told someone to build it from memory
    16
  39. bigger deal when 9x19 and 7.63 will both chamber but only one will work without exploding the gun
    16
  40.  @ScottKenny1978  he doesn't own this gun, its a review gun, he has to give it back at some point I think
    16
  41.  @monkeylee4818  no, north Elbonia was the People's Democratic Republic of Elbonia, east Elbonia was the Democratic People's Republic of Elbonia, very different groups especially after the sino-soviet split, the PDRE went for Chinese arms while the DPRE stayed soviet
    16
  42. if we had only bombed the factory that made the wapinoff stamp, the germans would not have been able to use anything
    16
  43. James Healy like most of the problems with those guns were things not entirely related to the gun, belts and the delinker/feed system are usually most of the problem. also going into ww1 nobody expected to have to cycle hundreds of thousands of rounds through any single gun
    16
  44. but 30s gangsters could come machinegunning down your door
    16
  45. that and just using a lathe to make a better lathe then using the better lathe to make a better lathe to make a better lathe to make a better lathe till you get a CNC machine
    16
  46. fact that these things work like revolvers is probably partially why they didn't catch on that much, revolvers were cheap (by this point) and offered basically the same performance
    16
  47. yes, I suppose even the soviets realized they might want a safety on this cannon
    15
  48. thing looks like its been sitting in a pile of mud for most of the last 100 years
    15
  49. I can really see why this failed hard. in a setting where nobody has guns, sure it works, but in the US where you could buy guns through catalogues back then, ya this was just sub par
    15
  50.  @nonomnismoriar9601  the ENIAC would like to beep angrily at you
