@roddydykes7053 On a suppressive fire weapon there IS no quality of trigger pull. You yank the bastard in until the ugga dugga starts making noise and then you try your best to direct the narrow cone of tracer stripes onto that thing that you decided you didn't like. Once they have their heads down the light mortars take over while you try to keep the gun pointed at roughly where you last saw the baddies. When the radio suddenly goes "Identify target?" you send another short burst that way. The Germans were apparently economical in their thinking when they decided that it would be a waste to shoot more than one round when doing target identification :P That being said: The Swedes are the only ones who designates these types of weapons properly according to their role... the literal translation is "a bullet sprayer" :P

Not to mention Ian's fantastic ability to describe conflicts like an actual historian. There aren't many who appreciates that when he is describing WWII events for instance, but as someone who came home from a tour to Balkan it's been a blessing when he discusses weapons used in those conflicts.... To this day all I can say about that conflict is that everyone involved was as much a victim as they were a villain. Myself included... So it's incredibly nice that Ian manages to touch on in a way that is both neutral and somewhat distanced.

@DrJiKentauriuzHero When analysing a German invention or engineering feat just find the most passionless and pragmatic place in the most humourless part of your soul... and you will instantly understand not only the genius of it, but also it's unquestioned necessity :P

It would be so cool to own one receiver but, what, 17 guns in total? :P

Just remove "photo" from that and you're good! :P The STG series of guns really are a meme at this point. You can own one legally transferable full auto receiver, but own, what, 17 different guns... but only 1 at a time mind you! :P

As soon as you see "STG" you should know by now that ANYTHING is possible! "You thought I was AK-47 but HAHAR! It was me, Stemple Receiver all along! Hecking bamboozle!" :P

With enough engineering magic you might be able to come up with a system that feeds a tiny belt from the magazine well and ejects empty cases and links to the side... It would be so freaking cool to have a tiny little 9mm Parabellum belt...

Next up: The STG-7... "This is built from original RPG-7 parts kits that flooded the US market after the collapse of the Soviet Union... Obviously it doesn't shoot original RPG-7 ammo as that would make it a destructive device. In stead it shoots 9mm Parabellum tracer rounds, but it does retain the full auto capability!" :P

@lukec8794 Not trying to be a dick, but don't you make mistakes when it comes to homophones in your second or third language?
