EnsignExpendable Posted July 21, 2017 Report Share Posted July 21, 2017 Max Popenker has a riddle for you: "In 1975, the Yankees shit the bed on machineguns again, and suggested to the military that, dead or alive, steal us something functional from the Russians that isn't the garbage that is the M219. They seriously analyzed the PKT, considering standardizing it for NATO, but then they were saved by the Belgians from FN with the MAG."

Sturgeon Posted July 21, 2017 Report Share Posted July 21, 2017 I wish you had told me the answer was hidden in the spoiler. I thought the riddle was. I could have figured it out, but jeeze. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not a weapon intended for the military but rather (what appears to be) the front runner for a winning model for a new weapon for SWAT/PAP units that's been going on a few months now. I guess even their SMGs/PDWs are going from bullpup to conventional. *shrug* Their main 9x19mm designation is also DAP92 like the 5.8x21, incase you're wondering whether or not this is confusing, it is! They also have wide, flat Meplat (!) bullets used for....reasons, (I know that flat noses penetrater better in certain materials like flesh and do a bit more damage than round nose due to crushing flesh as opposed to just pushing it aside, but it looks so awkward in 9mm because I'm so used to seeing round nosed) aswell as some pictures of pretty generic hollow points I found that I don't know much about. I'm not sure which of the 2 exactly but, one is loaded really hot with a hard steel core that performs really well in SMGs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not disagreeing with you - I'm sure that there is a push to use smart guns as a way to stealthily implement gun control in the US. I'd just personally like the technology to happen so that I can contemplate buying a sword without the attendent thoughts of seeing my loved ones and myself die upon it. I'd similarly like someone to develop a robust and foolproof technology for bricking stolen electronics so that there is less value in stealing them. Something which renders my car useless to thieves would also be nice. My understanding was that the technology itself could be considered mature when the cops start using it regularly, and that that point should be where other debates start.

I don't have a problem with the technology, but the gun control side has turned it into a trojan horse for regulations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed; when a reasonably independent group of individuals starts using the technology on their own initiative, that will be a good sign that it is mature. But there will be plenty of other tells; long before there are biometric-locked handguns there will be all sorts of reliable and cheap biometric-locked safes, smartphones and maybe cars and houses as well.
