roguetechie Posted April 6, 2017 Report Share Posted April 6, 2017 Oh dear sweet baby Jesus... You weren't joking about full retard! The truly "precious" part is where they talk about not allowing institutional inertia drown out the voices "SCREAMING FOR OVERMATCH" It's a good thing I bought up those surplus M113's with 8 inch gun turrets while they were cheap... I'm gonna be rich when the army wants to buy them back! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khand-e Posted April 6, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2017 Full retard meets mega retard in the comments section. Eric Atkinson • 8 minutes ago It does not follow that "Unit endurance would be cut in half." I carry 6 30rd mags plus the one 30rd mag in my Sig 762. That's 210 rounds. I could carry more. So it seems to me that most infantrymen could do that plus a belt or two of 7.62 for an M240. Weight carried should be prioritized by ammo, water, other weapons,med,body armor, Com,and food.

Xlucine Posted April 6, 2017 Report Share Posted April 6, 2017 I have discovered something. Everyone knows that a .410 shotgun isn't .410 gauge, it's just the hole is .410" wide. But what would a 410 gauge shotgun look like? plugging the number (410) into the formula here, and it works out to .225. That's narrow enough to fit down a .22 barrel! .22 rat shot is a 410 gauge shotgun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the unit could save weight on food by just skinning and eating this retard out in the field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wrote "vz.23" because I knew it would take you to the right Wiki article. It's a vz.25, but I had to check via google the grip angle to make sure. The actual designations are a bit arcane, but "vz.23" is often used as a shorthand for the whole family. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sturgeon Posted April 8, 2017 Report Share Posted April 8, 2017 I've shot one, BTW. They are kind of miserable subguns, in the way that most WWII-era subguns are miserable-but-cheap. They do have a telescoped bolt and mag in the grip, which is cool, plus a few other fun features (like the magloader in the handguard). Between them and their obvious comparator, the Uzi, I dunno which I'd take. But I'd definitely take a Sterling or MP5 over either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The magazine length appears to be right for the 7.62x25mm models, and you can just make out the indent in the magazine tube seen in the same models.

roguetechie Posted April 9, 2017 Report Share Posted April 9, 2017 I had to pull out one of my parts kits and a few magazines to try and decide which one it is and I'm still not sure. The perspective and way the kid is holding the gun make it really difficult to tell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steelninja333 Posted April 10, 2017 Report Share Posted April 10, 2017 First post here so don´t know how appropriate my question is, but here we go: Assuming that the 5.45x39 would have a M855A1 style bullet,would its performance be superior to the M855A1 as from what i have read here the 5.45 has some serious advantages in its ballistic properties compared to the 5.56x45.
