Does anyone have any information about the MG on top? Supposedly it was from Ruger (experimental).

My guess is that that is partially why the A3 is so expensive (besides the fact that they're re-rebuilding it again). AK-12 >> L85A2/L85A3 Were the "old" Daniel Defense handguards free-floating? It's interesting they didn't go back to DD for new handguards...

Neat! Do you have a link to the patent handy?

http://soldiersystems.net/2018/10/11/-the-bushmaster-unicorn-also-known-as-acr-caliber-conversions/#comments Now available in 6.8SPC! Sturgeon's next rifle, amirite? ^^ Bushmaster - "We still haven't figured out timing matters" (FWIW, up here an OEM Bushmaster barrel etc. costs almost 1000CAD, and the rifle retails for over 3000CAD...an APC223 is cheaper than a comparable ACR)

Apparently "well balanced" actually means mediocre and not able to do anything particularly well. That poster could have even bought a Mini-30!

Euroweaklings think it's humane to icepick an enemy so that they slowly die of blood loss. Comrade Stalin approves! So lethal against old Soviet helmets at 500m though!

y tho Why not hunt with 7.62x39?

Inspired by the HAC-7?

SS109 is known for its lethality ^^ I love how expensive this piece of shit is. Lipstick on a pig, take #3.

I hope everyone had the proper loicenses ^^ What's he saying about the "C weld"(?) at 1:00

IIRC, The M17 is available up here through an importer (irunguns)...and IIRC less expensive than the reproduction. LOL A lot of derpy decisions are made in the firearms industry.

Will probably be the case. I doubt there'll be much interest in a repro of a previously unsuccessful design. Especially at that price point. If it were a modernised Leader (done right, not like the MPAR), then the MSRP would be warranted.

Overmatch!!11! On a somewhat related note, I vastly prefer the 40rnd* Pmags to the D60.

C6 GPMG manual (B-GL-385-004/PT-001) I've only skimmed it, but it's written for instruction on the use of the C6 (not really a user manual)

American Leader T2 Introduction (YT) https://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2018/11/15/australian-leader-t2-rifle-to-be-made-in-usa/ Lol, preordering a firearm. (how do I embed youtube videos?)

The Telegraph - Trying out the British Army's new assault rifle Bloke on the Range - SA80 / L85A1 original factory semiauto! Part 1

UK Award Heckler & Koch $95 million Contract For SA80 Rifle Upgrade To put that into perspective, the retail price of a 15.7" Colt Canada Gen3 IUR is 2379.95CAD or £1385.10

Thank you for the links, I've read some of those articles in the past, but I want to re-read them more carefully IMO, Infantry mobility >> more powerful rifle cartridge @Sturgeon This NATO STO paper might be of interest to you, it deals with soldier's load RTO-TR-HFM-080, "Optimizing Operational Physical Fitness"

2012-vintage GPC and AR15 replacement herpderp, courtesy of the Military Review, the US Army's Professional Journal "AN ARMY OUTGUNNED: Physics Demands A New Basic Combat Weapon" by Joseph P. Avery, Ph.D Two observations: 1)Title mentions a new "BCW", but not why. 2)Yes he has a PhD, but it's not a STEM degree Homeslice needs to "stay in his lane" I've skimmed through the first 4 paragraphs so far, and each is built a a derp-diamond: (bolding courtesy of your CDNcommissar, the helpful politest commissar) The bulk of the first paragraph: lol no Second paragraph - MP.44 and AK-47 derp: lolwut Jesus, no #triggered Third paragraph - Blathers on about Marshall's nonsense, before mentioning that Marshall was spewing nonsense But wait! There's more, Peak Derp (of this paragraph) is achieved in the last sentence: u wot m8? "The Cult of the Rifleman" Forth paragraph's Peak Derp, again in the last sentence: wrong.gif FIND (from FIND, FIX, FIGHT, FINISH) (the more contemporary version F2T2EA is FIND, FIX, TRACK, TARGET, ENGAGE, ASSESS...IMHO a worse acronym, but I digress) is still extremely difficult. The enemy still gets a vote. He is equivocating long LOS with higher visibility. A handful of counterexamples to his point that today's combat environment is different: the steppes of the Eastern Front had quite long LOS, the desert combat of Desert Storm had quite long LOS etc etc It's not really any different. Conflict occurs in environments where humans are, just as it always has. This is a important aspect of the disadvantages with 5.56 replacements, they neglect the difficulties with FIND (while and/or assuming perfect conditions for a more powerful cartridge) His reasoning: combat environment is different, longer LOS -> MOAR VISIBLE -> 223 POODLE VARMINT SHOOTER LACKS RANGE Fifth paragraph: MUH THURDY CAL WOOD AND STEEL(?) ugh TO BE CONTINUED?

I neglected to check the ATGM thread and didn't see you'd already posted those images. (Was I just LoooSer'd????) Ah

Army University Press - Military Review (US Army's Professional Journal) Pretty meh, a lot of "HR" type articles with derpy titles... and also some older GPC derp! AN ARMY OUTGUNNED: Physics Demands A New Basic Weapon (author has a PhD...in Political Science) Doesn't seem to require authors to provide citations, references, a bibliography etc.

NATO Science and Technology Organization Technical Reports Sorta like a NATO DTIC Found this the other day while googling around for soldier-load related information (IIRC, I was trying to find the mean bodyweight of infantrymen infantrypersons)

A lot of "conservatives" (especially socons) don't accept that anti-pot, let alone anti-WOD (as well as anti-gay marriage and anti-abortion), conservative politicians face an uphill battle.

That bullpup (and especially the belt-fed bullpup with a UGL). Those mag pouches. Milley is shaking in his boots!
