Hmmm. Getting kinda long.

For reference, a 30 round AKM mag is approximately 228mm long.

Seen. Moved the rounds up a little bit so they actually lined up with the feed lips [don't know why they weren't already] and that let me slice a little bit off the length, but not much. Reckon I should drop the capacity to 25 or 20?

Just measured and it's 12mm.

He said it was single shot.

That quite exact.

25 rounds might be better, then.

He did. I was just inquiring as to why he went for a single shot mechanism, rather than a repeater, out of curiosity.

Righto.

EDIT:



Looks a little better, though still a little long. Might bump it down to 20.

Well, its an approximate exact as I didnt have one on me to measure (Though it would be funny to pull an AKM magazine out of my coat pocket on the metro and measure it). It was just a memory guess.

Thanks. To be honest, I thought it would look cooler if my soldiers had to place a new round in the rifle after each shot.

Your soldiers hate you for it.

[San-Silvacian]

Considering single shot rifles are pretty normal until right before the 20th century...

Now if you try to deploy your army for a WW1 style battle with a single shot rifle, your enemy's will lol.

I just looked it up. Steel AK mags are 222.25mm long, while US made polymer mags are the length I previously gave.

^^^ this is why Lada best car

[Aqizithiuda]

I've revised my write up on the potential weight increase of the GPC with an extra cartridge that was suggested to me, along with modified values due to a revised magazine configuration and link weights.

This year's NDIA Joint Armaments Forum, Exhibition and Technology Demonstration looks like it has a lot of very interesting topics: http://www.ndia.org/meetings/4610/Pages/default.aspx

Hopefully it doesn't get canceled due to budget wars this year.

Leaf-blower?

[Sediczja]

Dropped the capacity to 20, got a somewhat reasonable mag size now. Sorta scuppers my plans for an LSW version, though I guess I could use a casket mag.



1P29 or 1P78 Kashtan?

[Ulfr-Reich]

Dntn, Beno, come now.
