No you see, much how the bore of the MP7A1 can expand magically from 4.6mm to 9mm to accommodate the new RIP projectiles, it can also contract to the size of a compact pistol or expand to the size of an AR-15 pattern Carbine/SBR that was used to kill Bin Laden without any parts changes! It's genius really and true H&K innovation! Note how the article says "sub machines" and not sub machine guns, this is a reference to how the MP7A1 variant can change its properties on the fly at the sub atomic level!

roguetechie Posted June 25, 2017 Report Share Posted June 25, 2017 (edited) I'm glad I checked before I posted a link with reduced resolution versions of the images Looser posted... If you open and enlarge the photos there's actually something very interesting to be seen. Namely, that both the pistol grip and stock are 3d printed! I'm thinking that the weirdly too large angled foregrip is too because it's proportions and scaling are kind of odd. Thank God they haven't figured out that you can smooth the outer surfaces and get rid of the telltale sign of larger layer sizes of FDM 3d printed objects using acetone. I am kind of proud of them though, since you can tell that they adjusted layer thicknesses, print speed, and etc between the stock pieces and the pistol grip! This actually shows that they truly grock some of the subtleties of 3d printing. And being the huge 3d printing fanboy/nerd that I am, that's exciting!

Looser I'm 95% certain that it's an SVD barreled action installed in a chassis system that completely replaces more iconic and recognizable dragunov / furniture sets that made it so very easy identify each variant / model by the furniture sets used . In Russia alone there's several different commercial and or aftermarket chassis systems available for purchase! Throw in those made in former wp nations which had domestic SVD production or just large stores of them collecting dust in the corner of arms warehouses etc, and the total number of production chassis systems is likely to be staggering! It kind of looks as though the barrel may be shortened as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
