Khand-e Posted January 30, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2017 The P226 is the most overrated pistol design in common use today. There I said it. (.....again.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judging by his fapping over the .40 round, I know why that roll of paper towels in the background is 2/3s of the way empty... Edit: OH my god. Stop at the 4:04 mark. The palm of his hand is right by those paper towels. I knew it. I KNEW it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Collimatrix Posted February 1, 2017 Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 This article on the LAPA FA MOD 3 is definitely worth the time to read. It is the most information on the topic I have found anywhere. Bit of a heartbreaker too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Collimatrix Posted February 1, 2017 Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 On 1/18/2017 at 0:34 AM, Collimatrix said: I'm curious about the Steyr STM-556 and the Rheinmetall/Steyr RS-556. Supposedly the latter is a variant of the former, but on closer inspection I'm not so sure. I found the patent. I found the patent because I am radiant and glorious. As expected, the barrel extension lives permanently in the receiver. The patent does not show a protruding, AR-15 style cam pin, but it also does not show an AUG-style toothed bolt collar either. There are no detailed diagrams of the bolt carrier group in the patent. It could be that either the cam pin or the bolt collar was omitted for clarity. The rod that transmits impulse from the piston to the bolt carrier and the charging handle have also been omitted from the patent images. One surprise is that the bolt appears to ride on some sort of sub-frame. Some early reports on the design described steel rails with a dry film lubricant. That's probably what the sub-frame is.

Collimatrix Posted February 1, 2017 Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 This barely qualifies as a "small arm," but KPB instrument design bureau is developing the mother of all anti-materiel rifles. Quote The round will be based on the so-called necked-down case of the 30-mm round of an automatic gun and the 23-mm round of an antiaircraft gun. Yes, that's a 30x165mm, which is nearly as powerful as the 30x173mm the GAU-8 fires, necked down to 23mm. This is completely, gloriously insane.

Well if the last batch of Remington UMC I tried is any indication of what It's supposed to be tested with, somehow I don't exactly think that's going to help matters....
