Collimatrix Posted September 20, 2015 Report Share Posted September 20, 2015 Syria. What is that bullpup rifle? Stock doesnt look right for a FAMAS/ Edit: mebbe a croatian VHS? http://world.guns.ru/assault/hr/vhs-e.html Bele has it; definitely a VHS. It has the G-36 style charging handle, FAMAS has a trigger-shaped charging handle. Also, this is not the first time the VHS has shown up in odd parts of the world. FAMAS isn't even manufactured anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Collimatrix Posted September 20, 2015 Report Share Posted September 20, 2015 AR-15 with Zenit-made laser pointer "Perst-3" This is rifle of that fella: LoooSeR, have you by any chance seen pictures of the internals of these AR-15s? They do not have gas vent holes on the bolt carriers, so they must be piston guns of some sort. I am very curious what sort of gas piston AR-15s are used in Russia.

I just figured they were making their own. Not like you cannot find plans on the 'net, and the forging/heat treat processes for the upper and lower should be old hat for Russian manufacturing.

Collimatrix Posted September 20, 2015 Report Share Posted September 20, 2015 That's what I figured too; locally produced AR-15 piston design. But I would like to see what specific solutions to the various technical problems the Russians came up with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sturgeon Posted September 20, 2015 Report Share Posted September 20, 2015 Is that a little pony I see on that pistola? Sturgeon, confirmed Brony! New or used? New. Model O1992, 9mm. A pretty nice pistol, all things considered. And cheap, too, for a forged gun with a pony on the side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sturgeon Posted September 20, 2015 Report Share Posted September 20, 2015 Well, I can confidently state that I like Glock grips better than 1911 grips, now. Not that I didn't already know that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sturgeon Posted September 20, 2015 Report Share Posted September 20, 2015 A confortable grip that ends in a shitty trigger is still a shitty grip Nathan Heh, that's actually what my girlfriend said, more or less, and I agree. The 1911's grip is very forgivable because its trigger is so nice. Now, I wouldn't change a thing about the Glock's trigger, because it's meant to be carried and be safe, and it's still very fast to shoot, if not as precise, but the 1911 is alllllmost ideal for what it was designed for (one handed bullseye-type shooting).

Donward Posted September 20, 2015 Report Share Posted September 20, 2015 Here is a link to a magazine article from 1941 on the Reising Submachine gun in case anyone is interested. I forgot that they chambered some Reisings in .30 carbine. Yes please! Also per Walter's linked article. The .45 caliber bullet leaves the muzzle at a velocity of 900 feet a second. Velocity and the bullet size both figure in the hitting force and penetrating power. Rifle and carbine bullets tend to drill a clean hole through a man, and he may continue to advance for some yards after being struck in certain parts of his body. The .45 caliber slug, on the other hand, will almost always knock a man down or spin him around—a valuable asset in close-up fighting where it is necessary to disable the other fellow before he can get you.

Sturgeon Posted September 20, 2015 Report Share Posted September 20, 2015 Oh man, don't let Alex hear you talking like that. He hates the Reising.Also, that's simple author's embellishment. Do I need to link that one article about the officer who had to shoot a dude a bazillion times with a .45? I do, don't I? Supplementary material.

Donward Posted September 20, 2015 Report Share Posted September 20, 2015 Yes. But the Reising is such a cool looking gun. And it's cool looking to me for reasons that I can't really articulate. It is like the Jaguar XKE of submachine guns. Cooling looking matters when you're talking about military effectiveness, right? It gives a -1 to morale for any opposing forces facing a Reising gunner. The best thing about .45 ACP is that you can earn a senior citizens discount coupon to the Old Country Buffet for every ten boxes you buy.

There's a difference between "not as nice as an M1911A1's Trigger" and "Being shitty" however. ....

Khand-e Posted September 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 And yes, I'll flat out say the designs I've tried from them such as the P30 and HK45 have triggers that genuinely do feel like they belong on a Kel-Tec. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The P30's trigger, and the VP9's trigger both are not as good as their fans say. I actually am intending to not give the VP9/VP40 a very good review because I feel their triggers compromise their safety characteristics. Can't we agree that the triggers on DA only striker fired polymer guns all suck? ... *Laughs maniacally* They're ideal triggers for the job, they're just not what you want for bullseye shooting at the range, or IPSC.

Donward Posted September 21, 2015 Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 They're adequate for the job and good enough for the price, particularly when you need to arm a metro police force with cheap but reliable handguns that hold a lotta bullitz.
