[Paupa-Moresby]

[GMC Military Arms]

Vector would have been nice if TDI / ALLCAPS ARMS had invented it during the subgun boom in the 80s-90s, then bad guys started wearing BA and most people who weren't using subsonic loads switched to carbine rifles or P90s. Vector's strictly for mall ninjas.

[3 State Alliance]

"Forward Comrades!!!"

Well, have you ever tried hiking with 1/4th your body weight in gear? Because I have. I wouldn't call it a fun experience. And that is your combat load. With only 48 rounds of ammunition (if you include a magazine in the gun its 64), no body armor, water, cleaning kit, pack, flashlight, radio or other gear that would be smart to include. (Like grenades)

No as to your earlier points:
1. "By posting in this thread you are open to criticism" Thats in the OP somewhere. You can make whatever choice you want, and I can criticize it.
3. It isn't the end of the world but it is a distinction that should be made.
5. Your weapon weighs more than the M60. The tells you that the weight is wonky.

1. True that
3. Has been made
5. it needs a makeover to get the right look... I'm getting that - and its a horrifically large beast

About the question about a 1/4 of my body weight - yes and a 10foot kayak - Two trips are for pussies
The list is only required items and yes water would be handy...
As for the number of rounds, they enforce trigger discipline.
As for grenades - that's the point, they don't get grenades or a radios and flashlights make you visible in the dark.

Some one mentioned the low quality of the food, well once again not my problem.

Hey, thats still a wonderful gun. Good choice

Also, hi other miltech minded moderator!

If you ever go against me in a war, we'll decimate you because your soldiers will be completely unable to actually combat me.

So basically, "I don't care what you say because I can lolgun"?

This is where you know things are getting intense.

[Nua Corda]

I have still literally never heard of this ever happening.

http://www.ar15.com/archive/topic.html? ... 4&t=201329

Looks like two isolated incidents of manufacturing defects. I'm sure the same thing has happened with AK mags.

"Oh lord... another one...

1. .338 Lapua is an expensive-ass, match grade sniper cartridge. You should be using an intermediate.
2. Fucking no. That is a magazine.
3. Those ranges are bull for the .338
4. Literally no way it's that heavy.
5. Why are you going from polymer to wood? That's like replacing modern MBTs with WWII medium tanks.
6. Stock and pistol grip are overlapping.
7. Stock is preventing the receiver cover from being removed.
8. The SVD's receiver cover is not stable enough for sights or optics.
9. That is not how STANAG-pattern mags work.
10. Those magazines are way too short for .338 Lapua
11. Those foreends are overlapping your receiver in a manner which doesn't work.
12. The stock on the second model just needs to go. I can't even being to explain what's wrong here
13. The pistol grip and fire control unit on the third model would change the workings so much that it would effectively be a separate weapon."

1. I said "Based off the Lapua" not "Uses the Lapua"
2. second person to say that
3. once again "Based off the Lapua" not "Uses the Lapua"
4. PMG has no way to "Beef" up a gun to express the sheer weight
5. We were afraid the reduction in weight on the .330 would make the soldiers lazy
6. chill - its not the worst mistake one can make
7. Not my problem (but the guy who has to clean it...)
8. Based off the SVD, its no doubt been altered by the designers
9. they look like STANAGs, once again... They aren't STANAGs
10. I said "Based off the Lapua" not "Uses the Lapua"
11. I can't even figure out where the problem is
12. Its the best I could do on PMG, its two sheets of 1/4inch steel welded to a butt plate and bolted to the standard stock mounts
13. Ever heard of an E-Trigger? Its the same unit, but with a battery powered trigger for full-auto

1. Still a ridiculously useless round. You should be using an intermediate.
2. Can you offer a solution?
3. Soo, it's huge, and short. Wonderful. Rainbow trajectory here we come!
4. Probably because it's an incredibly dumb idea.
5. That's got nothing to do with anything, and is a terrible argument for doing anything.
6. Just pointing it out. Though, it is a rather egregious error.
7. Then it IS your problem, because your rifles will be jamming in the field and getting your soldiers killed, if they're not already throwing them in the nearest lake and picking up enemy weapons.
8. The type of modification required to make it stable enough would be visible. It's not.
9. But there's no notch/locking lip combo on them for that kind of magwell and release system.
12. That is literally the worst idea for a stock I have ever heard
13. There's no reason to do that whatsoever. And electronic triggers are dogey as hell. That's why we have backup sights for electronic sights; electronics break.

So basically, "I don't care what you say because I can lolgun"?

That would describe you to a T.

+550 for SG550

Its far from outdated boy-o. If a normal Swiss rifleman and a US Marine were to engage each other in a 100+ meter firefight, the SG550 would most likely out perform the M16A4.

I'm 5'9 and 150 pounds.

Sheared-off feed lips from AK mags? Maybe US-made synthetics, but nothing that's metal mil-spec that I've ever seen nor heard of.

Isolated manufacturing defects. It happens when you're mass producing anything.

If that was the case, all of my weapons would have 100% exposed barrels with the magazines feeding through the grip. Needless to say, they don't.

[Spirit of Hope]

Yeah I noticed him. Who cares? Seams like a nice guy.

Vector would have been nice if TDI / ALLCAPS ARMS had invented it during the subgun boom in the 80s-90s, then bad guys started wearing BA and most people who weren't using subsonic loads switched to carbine rifles or P90s. Vector's strictly for mall ninjas.

I have a PDW variant of my normal rifle (wee super short barrel) the Vector is supposed to go to only a small number of units/men who the PDW might not be suited for. Subsonic rounds being one of the nice things that it would offer.

I can guarantee there were defects. There are defective products in any mass produced run. What makes it seem more noticeable with the PMAGs is that they're being purchased by civilians, rather than the military which usually weeds out defective hardware, and then shuts up about it. Correct me if I'm wrong, but most steel AK mags in the US are surplus, yes? In which case the defective ones would have been weeded out by the military that used them before they hit the market.

The recoil system is pretty cool. I didn't shoot one for an extended period but it was a nice shooter

I have gotten AK magazines that have gone through various conflicts in Serbia that run perfectly fine. They have 0% of their original finish left, have floor plates bent to where they barely contact the magazine body itself, have dents in the sides of them, and some battlefield-mods applied with a welding torch of some kind.

No problems with 'em.
