Fair play. Combat seems to have changed since then though as i speak from what's happening now.
Thats cool,, but you have to know,,and this may make you go..wow i did not know that,,,,300 meters in the designed contact range for every assult rifle made.
That is the standard nato contact range,,,, and all design on rifles has to fall with in this test... that a rifle can fire a 3 shot burst at a man size target ,and all 3 shots have to hit,,,
now heres is what is really going to blow your mind,,,, theres only one rifle that can do it,,even to this day... and thats the G11 caseless rifle,,,
and the main reason it can do it ,,is that it fires 3 rounds at the same time,, so it puts 3 rounds into the barrel..one behind the other.. and fires all 3 at the same time,,, told you this was going to blow your mind,,
but i did start this thread talking about assult rifles,,, not sniper rifles or sharp shooters,,and i did say..5.56 out to 300 meters..any futher and your need a 7.62 with a long barrel,,,,
i allso have some very clever ideas of my own,,, but not using caseless rounds,,,using 5,56,, no recoil at all,,and the bolt is delayed by magnets.< semi quantom locking >this means theres no gas tube.. like your sa80 or like many other rifles , . allso theres a weighted system that travels forward up the outside of the barrel to cancel recoil,,, and like all my other ideas and pojects in a bullpup layout,,,
with one of my famous kicked up stocks,,and with the magazine in the stock,,, carrys 60 rounds,,,
the bolt has no lugs on it,,,and has no need to spin or turn when locking,, this stops all side ways movement of the barrel crown,, or muzzel,, as your action no longer wants to twist against the action of the bolt,, add this to a forward moving weight,, that canels out any rearward recoil,,,
so you got a 5.56.. that is the size of a smg....has next to no recoil,,,but has the range of a assult rifle,,, this is the design bench mark that all companys try to reach,, in fact the yanks have a big fat prize fund for any one that can come up with a working version of above,, and falls within the 300 meter test..
and the the fund is worth about 10 million bucks,,, Oh yes,,,, its mine all mine,,,, yer i wish,,, Now you lot know why my paintball marker designs are so crazy....
But heres the crazy thing the british allso have a design fund for this kind of thing,,,,but it worth about 20 quid,,,and a can of spam,,,
us brits really dont invest in our selfs,,, we have some of the best inventors in the world,,,and it all starts with..man in shed,,,
makes me so sad,,,,
Now...the hard part finding someone with some cash to put up,,, oh well,,,,we keep looking,,
any way bud,,,,good luck out there,,, and keep the sand out of your crack,,, thank you for what your doing bud,,, god im gonna get all teary eyed now,,,
