Sturgeon Posted September 26, 2017 Report Share Posted September 26, 2017 Yep, AK-12. I note the gas block is has an additional bayonet lug. I am guessing that's so it's standard with a shorter barreled version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnsignExpendable Posted September 26, 2017 Report Share Posted September 26, 2017 This is probably going to be old news for 90% of you, but Ulanov and Popenker took a big steamy dump on the StG=AK crowd http://tankarchives.blogspot.ca/2017/09/kalashnikov-vs-schmeisser-for-umpteenth.html Sturgeon and Donward 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roguetechie Posted September 26, 2017 Report Share Posted September 26, 2017 Hahaha hk's balls deep up in the bundestag which is crying softly and nursing it's black eye already... Couldn't happen to a nicer bunch of bitches that Winston Churchill was right all along about how they need to be handled... For those unaware, Winston felt and i agree that every 50 years the US the commonwealth and the rest of western Europe need to just mercilessly destroy Germany ....Even if they appear to be behaving at the time we should just do it anyway as a Prophylactic measure because, let's face it people, even when they're being all holier more progressive than thou like now they're still assholes they just headquartered the EU somewhere else it's just lebensbraum with a thin veneer of thoroughly cowed EU officials who technically aren't Germans and sometimes.... They even rewrite the policies the Germans give them to ratify in their own words!.... Talk about mofuckin progress bitches 123 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sturgeon Posted September 26, 2017 Report Share Posted September 26, 2017 19 hours ago, Willy Brandt said: @Sturgeon On another note it seems that HK has won the KSK (German SF) Rifle contract. Nothing official only complains that the rifle is already too expensive. I read the posts some weeks ago but didnt thought that the winner wasnt announced already. Now the question is who were the other competitors.Reputable German Defence Blog mostly about policy not equipment. (He also quotes the biggest and in my honest opinion best German weekly News Magazin.) More general interest tactical equipment Blog. (They also quotes a defence Newsletter that costs 200 Euros per year.) If Google Translator isnt enough i can translate if someone wants it in english. TFB only covered the inital RFI/Release of the requirements. I cant find anything else to KSK or 416. It was the 416 that won? No wonder they are complaining.

But NewMan told me that the HK416 is the bestest rifle ever!, nevermind he also said the AR-15 is just am obsolete bad platform, sticking an SSP on it and stamping H&K on the side magically makes it the pinnacle of innovation and superb engineering!

Not performance because i think they dont even have delivered any 416s to the Bundeswehr or the KSK. Only GSG9 apparently has some because the 416 already had the denomination G38. I am not sure about this news I tend to make fun of dumb posters in the TFB comments alot, It's kind of just my thing. The NewMan joke is that he's a massive H&K fanboy who never makes any actual sense at all and cries all the time the second it's implied an H&K gun isn't absolutely perfect and the best thing ever or "insert non H&K design here, mainly non H&K made AR-15s) could possibly be as good or even good at all.

Or those "muh i can build you a gun for 700 Dollars just give me the contract hur dur" Or "why dont you take the gun from civilian manufacturer #42 it really runs great for me!" If the TFB comments section had their way with arms procurement, we'd be back to civil war era levels of effectiveness, if not worse.

Sturgeon Posted September 27, 2017 Report Share Posted September 27, 2017 Question: How bad was the A2 BAR's bipod? Answer: Interesting to note that some GIs would re-attach the flash hider after removing the bipod, and some wouldn't. It is also worth noting that although the A2 BAR "system" has a nominal weight of over 19 pounds, once the bipod and flash hider are removed it weighed less than 17 pounds, making it actually very usable as an "assault rifle". Still extremely heavy, but that sort of capability from a design dating all the way back to 1917 is pretty damned impressive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The gallery didn't have an obvious date attached and I assumed it was from this year. It's actually from 2015 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
