In case of forum argument, I'm on the side of the Socialists.
I am a far-left social libertarian.
Left: 8.33, Libertarian: 5.52

Come share the fruits of my labor, and we will share the burdens of your toil.

“I’m sorry if my atheism offends you. But guess what – your religious wars, jihads, crusades, inquisitions, censoring of free speech, brainwashing of children, murdering of albinos, forcing girls into underage marriages, female genital mutilation, stoning, pederasty, homophobia, and rejection of science and reason offends me. So I guess we’re even.” - Mike Treder

Thoughts?

Keep in mind this was made for a bunch of loonies I posted earlier.

If you're batshit insane enough, make a combination rifle (shotgun barrel that fires 10 gauge shells/slugs, and a rifle barrel that fires .700 NE rounds mounted under that).

Like so?

Where does the other barrel feed from? *EDIT* Never mind.

Welcome to 1938.

I thought ten thousand swords must have leaped from their scabbards to avenge even a look that threatened her with insult. But the age of chivalry is gone. That of sophisters, economists, and calculators has succeeded; and the glory of Europe is extinguished for ever.

Keep in mind this was made for a bunch of loonies I posted earlier.


Good to see someone else rocking the 10g. Might wanna reinforce with a spine and thicken the barrel walls to handle the stress of the shell though, even more so given the short barrel length(for a shottie). But that would just make it aesthetically more pleasing.

Other than that, great gun. The only thing I really not a fan of is the look of the stock and pistol grip. More of a stock&grip carbine person myself.

Maybe thicken the bayonet a little too, it looks like it would snap, IMO.

It's a triangular blade, for inflicting nasty wounds.It's thicker at the top but that's not too easy to represent in 2d.

Also, with shot it has an effictive rnage of 40 metres. Can't beleive I let that one slip by.

Agreed, it does give it a throw back look, but wood is outdated. Surely a modern Sturmgewehr deserves the best of its time, just as the original was built to the best standards of its time. But that's just my opinion. Aside from that I like the gun a lot, the barrel and receiver flow together really well.

Why is wood outdated? Composites are only marginally lighter and steel is heavier.

Wood is outdated because arm-chair designers and CoD-fanboys alike love 'tacticool'. < My opinion.

And because it breaks easier, I would think. Plus, it's cheaper.

Actually, if the stock is built right with the grain it'd most likely have a higher resistance to breaking than a polymer would because of the grain and the latter's lack there of. The only thing I can see is it's flammable, but some lacquer and polish will strongly deter if not stop that, and plastics effin melt with the same heat.

Oh, okay. Well, it's still cheaper to use polymers, right?

Depends on the quality of the wood and the quality of the polymer. High grade wood for stocks is pricey, and takes some time and effort($ on the factory line) to shape and affix to gun, while high grade polymers are expensive to create and somewhat complicated and time consuming affair compared to their wood counterparts. So, average grade wood stocks and average grade polymer stocks are about the same, but low beats high for both if you catch my drift.

Who said anything about steel? Either way that small difference in weight is a benefit, and why wouldn't you want that. Last i recall it is the goal of weapons designers to make lighter weapon for the soldiers sake. Plus with composite stocks you can create collapsible, folding, adjustable other such variants that would just be awkward with wood. When on the topic of the Sturmgewehr, yes it was not the highest quality of it's time, but was the only Rifle of its kind at that time. Thus the StGw was and is on a level of its own as it pioneered the future of the Assault Rifle. It may very well have been the best rifle of the war. Think about it, it fires the 8mm Mouser, holds up to 30 rounds and has automatic firing capabilities. It bridged the gab between Rifle and SMG. Holding that fire power and ability sets any StGw operator up for success on the battle field. The only other nation during the war to give their soldiers a semi-auto weapon was The United States, and the M1 Garand only held 8 rounds at that...on top of that when the M1 ejected its magazine it made that notorious brass sound that gave away the operators position. Further more the two guns are separated a world apart by the STG's ability to fire automatically. About the only advantage the M1 has over the STG is its rotating bolt, while the STG only had a tilting bolt.

Erm... SVT-40, Gewher 43, Ag m/42 were all semi-automatic.

The korovin-1945 was also fully automatic, designed in 1945.
