I take it it's related to the FN FAL?

Don't mind me, just doin' related porns.

Are there any Western equivalents to the Russian 9x39mm guns like the Groza, 9A-91 and Vikhr?

Not that I know of. You could just rechamber a 5.56x45mm rifle in 8.53x33mm (.338 Spectre).

.330AAC Blackout and .338 Whisper/specter I suppose.

9x39 is SUPER quiet. While ive only shot a few rounds of .300AAC though a Suppressed rifle, it is the closest thing I can think of.
To the point where i've considered figuring out how to chamber an AK in it so I can make a lookalike AK-9.

I don't have any personal experience with .338 Whisper/specter.

[A Hooloovoo]

Well I was thinking of having a Stargate (yes, like the awesome TV series with MACGYVER) program and so I wanted a good short range rifle. The 9x39 has good AP characteristics too right? I was thinking of equipping the SG teams with Grozas or a Western equivalent to give the teams a compact, hard hitting, reliable weapon.

Aqi sounds like an australian guy in a show I saw about life in the Aussie outback. Guy was a pilot of Gyrocopters.
Baji sounds like Jorge from Halo: Reach. No clue why.
Nua sounds like Tom Hanks
Spree sounds like the head of Security at the place I work
Beno sounds like one of the interns on my floor who I make get me coffee every morning
Trans sounds like Bruce Willis
Arch sounds like Barry from Archer
Anyone else want to know?

it could do. At the moment it is firing a 10mm*32mm CTA round I made up.

Rhodesia and the FN FAL are as inseparable as Switzerland and cheese.

Yes!

You have no ejection port.

It ejects up and to the left.

That's a horrible idea. It'll spit the shells directly at the shooter unless he's a lefty. There's a reason rifles eject to the right. And given all that, it highly suggests that you done goofed, and came up with some bullshit to cover your ass, as per usual.

That round is absurd.

Why?

Too long. Too wide. Too thick. You would barely be able to carry any of it, and it would have a trajectory like a rainbow.

There is no room for the bolt to travel.

There's plenty of room.

Uh, no, there isn't. Unless your receiver is about a micron thin, in which case the whole thing will probably explode the first time you fire it.

There are no sights.

That's why we have helmets with aim assist HUD.

Others have already explained why this is retarded.

Your proportions make my eyes hurt.

Subjective.

Not so. Given the size of the round, even if the rest of the weapon parts were in proportion (protip; they aren't), the weapon would be big enough for a Na'vi to use comfortably.

And you still have yet to explain the lack of gas system or charging handle.

I can imagine why.

[Benomia]

Handle is on the left, gas system is covered by the "handguard".

[Nua Corda]

*checks off all other points that you ignored*

And you still have yet to explain the lack of gas system or charging handle.

Handle is on the left, gas system is covered by the "handguard".

So, basically you hate right-handed people, are lazy as hell, and your gas system is too short to function properly?

Its true.
A Rhode FAL is on the top of my list for "Then gun I'm going to buy when I move".
That is, im going to buy an FAL parts kit, probably Rhodesian, finnish and paint the Rhodie colors.

Pick the color, what do you like better?

OR:

Yes!

I always figured you sounded like an angry Norwegian guy.

Just use roller-delayed blowback.

The first color looks better.

Magpul PDR in .338 Specter or .300 AAC BLK. P90 compactness and weight, far better wounding and AP ability.

Nah.
too simple.

AAC Honeybadger!

Yes!

I'll just leave this here.

He'd have to triple the length of the already too-short receiver to do that.

Has the idiocy ended?

Now that is something I didn't expect.
And to stay on topic with this post...

I'm sorry Lanos.

The idiocy will never end.

Remind me, what is he trying to do here?

[Nua Corda]

We'll have to see if he responds, or slinks off with his tail between his legs.

Apparently make Gun Jesus cry.
