Slakrrrrrr reacted to LoooSeR in The Small Arms Thread, Part 8: 2018; ICSR to be replaced by US Army with interim 15mm Revolver Cannon.
And another day dedicated to one of most notorious weirdo gun designers/modifiers in current days in Russia - the infamous Obobob.

And here is AK-74MB. Inside it is just stock 74, all changes are bolt on stuff:

Not sure if it is a shotgun with underbarrel MAC-10, or MAC-10 with overbarrel shotgun...

Happy New Year, everyone!
Here are some vehicles I never see much mention of: the Turtle Series.
Full credit goes to Tank and AFV News for finding this is Armor Magazine: https://tankandafvnews.com/2017/07/10/from-the-vault-the-turtle-series-of-armored-vehicles/

Slakrrrrrr got a reaction from Scolopax in French flair
Some people know about the French ERAC (Engin de Reconnaissance Amphibie de Combat), not to be confused with Engin de Réaction Anti-Chars:
It's an amphibious light tank from the early '60s, but apparently it didn't end with this vehicle. New photos have been added somewhat recently on chars-francais.net of a second, albeit similar vehicle:
No additional information is revealed, but the mounted gun is quite obviously larger than on the first one. Both vehicles are labeled "ERAC 105mm", yet the website claims the gun to be the 90mm DEFA D 914.

Slakrrrrrr reacted to FORMATOSE in French flair
Development of a 8-tonne reconnaissance amphibious tracked vehicle (ERAC) was launched in 1960.
The use of a fin-stabilized shaped charge projectile as main anti-tank round was deemed obvious given the performance achieved with the 90 mm shell.
The project consists of a D 739 gun firing a 105 mm projectile with a steel body designed to be fired under higher pressure (2100 kg/cm²) with a muzzle velocity of 850 m/s.
The static firing trials in 1962 and the ERAC prototype the following year fall short of expectations ; the accuracy is barely acceptable and the armor penetration is mediocre compared to the caliber.
Meanwhile, the ERAC project is cancelled and its successor, the ECA (Engin de Combat Amphibie : amphibious fighting machine) didn't have any more luck.
The AMX-10 RC also used a fin-stabilized shaped charge projectile but with a superior ballistic performance (1100 m/s).

Slakrrrrrr reacted to Serge in French flair
This is definitely the DEFA gun.
Integrating a 105mm would have been impossible to keep the amphibious capability.
