/k/ - Weapons

Jonathan, your mother and I are worried that you're spending too much money on this bullpup meme. Why not trade it in for a nice inexpensive Hi-Point carbine instead? I know it's not as glamorous, but you know if you can't make next month's rent you'll have to move back in with us, and Veronica has already turned your old room into her personal studio.

do they make the 7.62 one yet?

>foregrip that doesn't fold

the rifle is like 26 inches long, whatever. It's not like I'm trying to stick the thing into a backpack and smuggle it into a shopping mall.

>no sling

Yes sling. I took it off for storage.

>muzzle brake on a 5.56

You got me there. I actually feel a little bit gayer now that you made me read that.

>>616937

Yes, few other calibres too.

I have a general bullpup question. In my free time I have been designing a rifle. I personally don't mind 15 inch length of pull, I'm 6'2" but is that same LOP a tactical issue for shorter users, or just a discomfort for them?

>>616825

I'm thinking of getting a PS90 in a violin case for my adoptive sister. Go or no go?

>>616825

you don't see many guys owning and shooting AUG's. Why?

>>617382

Does your sister have small breasts?

>>617385

Yeah, they don't feel too big.

>>617386

Then I don't see why wouldn't it work as long as she likes wearing stockings and skirts. Go for it.

>>617380

Differences in LoP won't matter too much if it's fairly close to the "average" length, but 15" is pretty long. M16A2 had a 13.5" LoP for reference, which is also about the LoP for an M4 carbine style stock pulled out to the maximum length. So normally it's not too much of an issue, but your rifle is just far enough to one side of the scale that manlets on the other side of it might have some difficulties. If your military doesn't have any manlets it's probably not an issue though.

>>617382

Neat gimmick, but if you want to encourage her to shoot giving her a gun that eats cheaper food would be better.

>>617389

She definitely does.

>>617383

Because the one on the US market are US-made ones which are overpriced and low quality compared to the Austrian ones. It's also an outdated design and the trigger is awful.

>>616825

>>616860

I wonder how high the fire rate would have to be to need a muzzle brake on 5.56? 1300? 1500 rpm?

>>617475

muzzle brakes always reduce recoil, regardless of what you're shooting.

putting it on a 5.56 just makes the gun even easier to shoot than it already is. Nothing wrong with that.

faggots kvetch about brakes because they're meme'ing faggots that need something to meme about.

>>618383

Stop being a sissy faggot, just get an a2 flash suppressor, reducing your flash and sound signature is more practical in every way compared to increasing them just for a minuscule decrease in recoil. Not to mention the enormous size of the muzzel brake in OP's pic, increasing the weight of the weapon and throwing off the balance (not much, but you seem to think minuscule changes are a good reason to attach shit to your rifle.)

>That's pretty interesting. It's made to avoid disturbing the bullet by having a gas port drilled into the barrel. How effective would that be?

It depends. The early prototypes of the Garand used something superficially similar called a gas trap for the semiauto operation, in which the gas was collected right after leaving the barrel so as not to drill a whole into it. They ended up abandoning it in favor of the piston because pressures were so inconsistent from one shot to the next; as a result they couldn't reliably time the operating system.

>>618709

I doubt anyone can tell without looking at the actual system, though Korobov's designs really were ahead of their time. The 6mm really had the same problem as 6mm Lee Navy - extremely short barrel life because of huge pressures.

>>616825

How do you like that optic?

>>618709

The G41 and the original Garand used it, it was awful.

>>618999

For 308 id go with the MDR, but due to its weight for 556 is go M17.

>>619000

>due to its weight for 556

Well of course fellow tripsman, any .308 gun with a caliber conversion kit to 5.56 is going to be heavy-for-caliber. M17 is still a little chunky at 7.5 lbs though, is there any bullpup option that's lighter other than the Jewvor?

>>618714

>They ended up abandoning it in favor of the piston because pressures were so inconsistent from one shot to the next

I wonder if the extreme operating pressures of 6x49 mitigated that.

>>619018

I think the kel tec rdb is lighter but I wouldn't use it in any serious application unless I've had the rifle for an extensive amount of time.

>>619348

Betamax was superior.

>>619348

Do we have any info on this besides the fact that they told the engineers to make it look edgy?

>>619358

From a swiss friend that actually shot one (of the earlier ones) it's basically a G-36 bullpup.

>>619379

Good G36 or faggy G36 after green party made HK use low quality plastic?

>>619410

>HK.

>Making high quality anything.

>green party made HK use low quality plastic

>Things_that never_happened.png

HK hit de facto bankruptcy in 1992 and has been living in making shit products sold high on it's cold war reputation.

We're talking a company that sold the UK MoD "improved" magazines that rust and are twice as heavy as the originals…

G-36 melts because G-36 are plastic AR-18 made at the lowest standard possible.

And when people realized they switched to make… AR-15 style AR-18 and sell it as a great "new innovative design" (even though it's an old as fuck design and it's actually heavier than a vintage M-16!

There are no good G-36 but if anything modification of the original design fixed the overheating issue a bit (notably by having scopes keeping zero).

Nobody is mean to HK, HK should have died long ago due to it's terrible management and EU governments keep bailing it out.

>green party makes hockle muh dick use shit plastic

Do they have their fingers in the auto industry too? I remember trying to remove an oil filter off a newer model benz when I accidentally grazed my knuckle against somekind of thin plastic(? Probably hardened rubber) coolant line that just had to be designed so it's jutting high up in the engine bay and not low while keeping close to the rest of the engine. The line snapped and sprayed hot coolant all over my arm causing me to use my other hand to push off an engine cover. My offhand broke through the cover allowing me to fist a hot engine block. Still an easier oil change than most lifted ford pick ups

I fired a friend's RDB once. The experience confirmed the meme that leltec has interesting ideas but trash quality control. The mag catch was so loose that the force of recoil partially unseated the magazine, and I had to tap it back in after every shot. Nice shooting gun besides that rather glaring flaw, though.

>>627155

I wish any competent company would rescue some of their creative designs.

They could fix them with proper materials and technique.
