The most frustrating part of it is that the .22lr version has what is the front sight block on the centerfire models is the rear sight and it has a front sight post on the end of the barrel. Giving you a fixed set of sights. Why they couldn't do this for the centerfire models, we will never know. at least the tacticalico has the option to mount mall ninja optics which would solve the magazine rear sight issue.

Bullpups are practical, but OOBD or any other explosion in the rifle turns away a lot of people into using bullpups.
Hence, the reason why a lot of people would prefer the flimsy AR 15/M16/standard layout over a bullpup. If the middle part of the rifle ever blew up for "reasons", at the very least its the operators face that will be fucked and not his/her jugular/neck area.

>barrels that heat up faster
What? Speed heats up barrels, not the size of the bullet. If anything the size of the bullet increases surface area which would reduce this issue. And with steel case 6.5mm can be similar weight to 5.56, which is why kebab removers are adopting it.

Look up the MSBS, the exact same rifle when done in a bullpup guise is almost a pound lighter, while extra weight is needed for linkage and shit, you lose weight by not requiring a buttstock and a shorter handguard due to less barrel sticking out. Bullpups are both shorter and lighter than standard rifles

62 to 55 grains is maybe a 70-ish fps decline overall assuming the same barrel length.
you're still flying at over 3100 fps.
55 grain is great for initial impact, it penetrates level 3 plate out of a 20" barrel, but it has nothing beyond that, which is why m855 is useful.

The actual inherent downsides to bullpup:
1. In case of catastrophic failure, reaction chamber is closer to neck arteries.
2. Swapping mags while keeping rifle on point is difficult.
Everything else is a fake concern "folding stock" and optics/cheek weld complaints or something that can be fixed with better materials or attention to engineering mushy trigger, ejection so it's not an inherent design flaw.
a7b7f4 No.523796
>>523748
>that shit still 7.5 pounds for a 5.56 rifle
And the non-bullpup option is even heavier, I don't see what your point is.
It's probably heavier than the M4 simply by having a longer barrel, having a hand guard with rail sections/M-lok already on it instead of the thin simple hand guard of an M4 and while it uses a lot of polymer, I think the upper is steel, not aluminium. Doesn't really have anything to do with it being a bullpup.
>>523786
Eh, I'd replace point 2 with "muh trigger", while you can engineer a good bullpup trigger (M17s for example), it's still harder to get a better bullpup trigger than a standard rifle trigger, and it always will be as long as we have mechanical triggers, electronic ones would solve that, but currently, if you were to design a trigger, it would be easier to design a better trigger for a non-bullpup.
And swapping mags is a video game balancing meme, it's just that people aren't used to it, the only downside that I see with it is that the magwell is out of your peripheral vision, so you can't see where you're inserting the mag, but muscle memory can fix that and it's only an issue during the day anyway, at night everyone has that issue.

No its not the non bullpup option for 5.56 the M16 starts at 6 pounds. Which is the point. That bullpups advantaged of being overall shorted is not outweighed by the added weight that they bring to the fight
6d63f5 No.523994
>>523989
What the fuck on you on about, lad? You're comparing two entirely different weapon designs. The M16 is light because it's made out of aluminium and polymer as well as not having a trunion or any real load bearing surfaces outside of the bolt and barrel extension and having a light gas tube rather than a piston. You can't just scream "MUH AR-15" when it comes to bullpup vs non-bullpup. The G3 is 10lbs, that doesn't make all non-bullpups heavy, just like the AR-15 being light doesn't make all non-bullpups light.
I've given you an example of the weight difference between the exact same rifle when put into a bullpup vs non-bullpup guise, and the bullpup is lighter, I don't know how I can explain it any better than that.
How about the K&M M17s weight vs the weight of the rifle it's based on, the Leader T2?
Or the Groza compared to the AK?
Or the T86S compared to the AK?
Or the SVU and the SVD?
There's nothing inherently "heavy" about bullpups, if anything, a rifle, when put into a bullpup guise, will be lighter than it's standard counterpart.

Would 7.62 NATO really be ideal? What if every soldier gets a battle rifle and they're thrust into combat that's so radically different from Afghanistan and Iraq that they wish they were using assault rifles again?
Besides, I think it's a good idea to adopt a modernized 7.62 Intermediate round as a happy medium between 5.56 and 7.62 NATO because…
>lighter felt recoil than a battle rifle's.
>the bullet has better stopping power and penetration and can potentially travel further than a 5.56

Ideal by what metric? If you want one cartridge for everything you're going to want a caliber between 6.5mm and 7mm with a 0.5 BC and enough powder to push it out of full length barrels at ~3.5kJ or short barrels at ~3kJ.
However 7.62 NATO.is perfectly fine in battle rifles when in very sparse terrain. The Greeks outfit their army mostly with battle rifles in 7.62 NATO, their armies aren't assault-rifle based, because the terrain simply isn't closed enough.
Also 7.62 NATO needs to be brought back for DM and LMG in every fireteam, because a few years ago the Afghans were fucking our teams up with goddamn Mosin Nagants and our teams couldn't respond with full length C7 rifles. I can't even imagine the trouble Americans are having with the short barrel M4 that wastes 20% of the pressure of the 5.56.

What was the point of the .30 Light Rifle project anyway? Yes, the goal was to use modern material science to deliver 30-06 equivalent ballistics out of a lighter and more compact cartridge. But the finished product was only superior by, what, half an inch of overall length and a negligible amount of weight? They might as well have not bothered.
Imagine an alternate timeline where the army stuck with 30-06 until the 70's. The M14 is a modernization of the Garand that takes B.A.R. mags. The F.A.L. is built for .280 British as intended, and the cartridge is adopted as N.A.T.O. standard. 8mm Mauser remains the predominant sporting cartridge in Europe. The U.S. unveils its new, high velocity, small bore cartridge in 70-something and we're back on schedule.

BAR mags woudn't work, but your point still stands anyway. I personally would have liked to have seen .280 actually adopted and they used the EM2 rifle. Certainly that is what would happen in your scenario. Although the FAL being chambered for it is a definite possibility and other militaries would have adopted it.
7.62 NATO really stifled the development of other nations during the Cold War, I find. I could go on about it.

Apparently the main problem is the spring being too weak for reliable feeding in full auto. I wonder if replacing the original with a constant force spring would have worked. Although making new magazines would have been an option too.

From what I recall this is roughly the history, with a few errors accounted to my poor memory:
>5.56 was adapted from .223, a common small game cartridge at the time.
>It was found that the common ~40 grain .223 was too light, and was overly affected by wind at combat ranges. So the 5.56 was introduced at 55 grain.
>However the 55 grain was found to be too affected by foliage (grass, leaves and branches) in combat cnditions, so the bullet was lengthened to make it more than 60 grain.
>The new 60 grain family of ammo was found to best operate at 1:9 twist rates. However due to a tracer round, the twist rate was increased to 1:7, which more than doubled the ball ammo grouping.
>The M16 had the 20 inch barrel because the 5.56 round it used needed that long to accelerate to lethal speeds. However soldiers complained about it's length while in a vehicle, and demanded a folding rifle.
>The M4 was designed to reduce overall length of the M16. The reason why they had to remove around 6 inches from the barrel is because of the 7.25 inch buffer tube prevented rifle folding.
>The end result rifle had a poor twist, and wrong barrel length for the cartridge.
>To fix this a zero-lead round called M855A1 was introduced, which fixed some flaws at a greater expense per round.
In other words it's a cluster fuck.
Round should be scrapped, rifle should be scrapped.
Modernized Stoner 63 with a folding stock, 16 inch barrel with 1:7 twist or 20 inch barrel with 1:9 twist, feeding 6.5mm in 123 grains or 6.8 in 120 grains, should be immediately introduced in all NATO nations.
We have wasted enough time and money n this abysmal series of failures.

Because tradition and shit like the Cold War ending and 1994 AWB

Of course, HE is a more consistent casualty producer than bullets and needs to be improved on to make HE based small arms viable. However, investment in marginally better small arms for the troops is always a morale-booster, which is something that’s always overlooked in favor of autistic bean-counting.
Eventually, Bullpups will see the light of day, probably when .300 chimpout loses its luster and people realize how inefficient shooting a rifle round out of a 5 inch barrel is.
