MMW MkV thread. It's been fun.

All of the guns. especially automatics and semi-automatics

Supplying your army must be a bitch for your ordnance officers.

Would the Kel-Tec RFB make a good MT / early PMT service rifle?

Keep an awesome gun an awesome gun.

But now I have to make a bolt work QQ
It probably wants to be ambidextrous anyway, since it's my FUTURE SOLDIER rifle.

Would the Kel-Tec RFB make a good MT / early PMT service rifle?

As long as you give it a full-auto function (IIRC it is semi-auto only).

We have started to replace the lever action rifles with Bermi .45 Assauli Rifli m3456

[Coltarin]

*added slight coloring to the curves
*took some propellent out of the taser round

[Former Wellboneland]

Old but this makes S.N.I.P.E.R. the manufacturer of one of the first Assault Rifles.

[Dephodia]

Dephodia, being a partial mix of Renaissance Italian and Spacetime, has a mix of old and new...very..very new. We don't use very many solid, non energy projectiles, this weapon is our most advanced small weapon that still fires solid projectiles, used by our Stealth Agents:





Many people think Dephodia's Stealth Agents carry energy weapons, but this is not the case. Only our field androids and Dephodia's Spacetime Agents carry energy weapons. However, we are swiftly making energy weapons mandatory in all defense departments. Dephodia's military scientists are always working on new energy based weapons and armors.

(Emphasis mine)

Not really.
The Mini14 was in production from about 1973, so nearly 30 years after the MP-44 & SKS.
The AK, AR15/M16, FN CAL, vz52 & 58, Chinese Type 56 & 63, HK33, Galil, Beretta AR70, AR18, Stoner 63 series & Zastava M59/66 were all around before then.

Ok.
S.N.I.P.E.R. is ICly the best arms manufacturer in Wellboneland, ICly this rifle was manufactured in 1942 before the revolution.

ALL OF THE GUNS
And each member gets a wing with a personal collection :3

That would be fucking fantastic. Except I'm broke right now...

[Mosasauria]

Would the Kel-Tec RFB make a good MT / early PMT service rifle?

If you modify it to have selective fire options, then I would say so.

Would the Kel-Tec RFB make a good MT / early PMT service rifle?

Although I am a huge KelTec fan, I have heard rumors that the RFB's ejection is jam prone. In theory though, it would be an excellent infantry weapon

I always preferred the Mannlicher-Schonauer. Much more fun to pronounce.

Your weapon is missing a gas block(Assuming it is a gas-operated weapon). I recommend you correct that.
Also, most AR-15 pattern rifles cannot use a folding stock.
Your rifle should look more like this(At which point, it's no more than a 416):

Two free, simple programs that allow drawing in 3D. Using AutoCAD for Nationstates is overkill, it's the equivalent of hiring Michelangelo to paint your bathroom.

I myself actually refuse to publish a design I've made unless I've created every single detail of it in Autodesk Inventor or FreeCAD.

This is why I've yet to publish a design I've made, since they've yet to be complete

But either way, I actually find constraint-based CAD software more intuitive than standard 3D modeling software, since the former allows for greater precision (and is what I was trained on). In other words, your mileage may vary.

And hey... I'd freaking love for Michelangelo to paint my bathroom. That would be fucking awesome.

Actually some piston driven ARs like the RRA PSD can usE a folding stock. But again, it would end up looking like a PSD or HK416

Does a man-portable railgun firing 150 gram slugs at 10,000m/sec make sense?

The Ferus portable Railgun system [PMT]

(looks similar to this except with a longer barrel, less exposed hardware, and a larger scope)

This heavy gun functions as a heavy anti-material rifle for the Xenon Army it fires a 20mm, 150 gram hyper velocity tungsten slug at 10,000m/sec.

It has an effective range of 3000m and known to be extremely accurate.

Power is supplied to the weapon via a backpack power supply and ammunition is supplied by a 5 round detachable box magazine.

It is also relatively cheap and never jams.

The gun does have a few drawbacks mainly extreme recoil (still substantially less than a comparable primitive gunpowder firearm), excessive weight, and it at times has a few reliability issues mainly in the form of overheating after only a few shots, extreme rail wear causing rails to be needing replacement every 100-400 shots.

In a heavy support role, yes. Although I doubt it would be cheap. Also, you say it never jams, then say it has reliability issues. Could you clarify or was that an honest mistake?

Same thing here. I am currently working on a full model of my MBT that will go so far as to define the true armor thickness, seat positioning and everything. Say, do you know any good textures for leather seats? Surprisingly its these and not MBT grade optics and computer displays that are hard to find.
