Just getting the link up, last time, just because the quote did not have the link.

*EDIT: That is the link to my storefront, Zaleznych Arms. Criticism please.

Also, your LMG does not appear to have a magwell. On its own this is not a problem, but your launcher appears to block the path of the magazine.

Finally, one of your rifles image links just goes right to your photostream.

The titel says it all
Personal
Defense
Weapon
now it's nice if these weapons have more power and range than an SMG but still remain compact. it's all situational issues It's nice to have a short compact weapon that is capable of reaching out further than a SMG . I like the PDR.... A lot and would love to see it manufactured and chambered in .300 AC, 7.62X39 and 5.45X39.

I can't tell what you're arguing since you're incorporating so much useless ad hominem crap into your statements, so I'm just going to assume you're desperately in need of a source for what "PDW" stands for, since those are the very statements you are bringing into question.

My storefront. Zaleznych Arms. Check it out!

EDIT: Please give me some criticism, I believe it is visually simple and neat, it just needs more content, what I really want is new ideas, I also need some to predict the length of all of my weapons. :L


I like it. ^.^
At least one of the links (the picture for the K-10) doesn't work. (And on that note, why bother linking an image instead of just embedding it? You're already saving a bunch of space with how many spoiler tags there are.)

The specifications need to be looked over - 4.7/5.3 pounds for an assault rifle, and 4.2 pounds for a LMG, are super-low. The prices might need double checking (the K-10 most notably, being $600 NSD for high-quality and all milled components.) I don't know what that translates to in USD, but it does seem a bit hopeful (even if it's CNC.)

What's the point of smoothbore barrels? Keyholing isn't optimal.
There's some minor errors that could be fixed by proof-reading, too. (using new innovative technologies in there [their] weapons)

Word choice and order for some statements come out awkward.
(and also the company expanded into foreign markets) [the company also expanded into foreign markets]
There's a couple run on sentences that can be addressed.

It seems like a pretty decent store front though, it just needs some editing. :)

A PDW is basically a shorter carbine.

It's been universally established that 1 NSD = 1 Universal Standard Dollar.

So $600 NSD = $600 USD.

Real life already beat you to that.

I'm not sure what the smaller bullet is, but the casing is obviously of .30 Tokarev. There's no real reason you couldn't sabot a .308 NATO using .223 OTAN bullets, but sabots are usually much smaller (~3-4mm).

They have made 7.62 SLAP rounds with 5.56 bullets before. Also, pick either NATO or OTAN, don't use both ffs.

Remington makes the a sabot for putting a .224 bullet in a .30. They're claiming 4,200 FPS for a .30-06.

It seems like a neat idea for using Pa's .30-30 as a squirrel rifle, but it pretty much renders it as a single shot -.-
