Main Military Weapon of Your Country, Type-9 [Read OP pl0x]

[Samozaryadnyastan]

How're you working the ejection?
P90 ejects with gravity out the bottom of the action.

An ejection tube offset to one side. Brass is ejected off to a slight angle.

[The Archangel Conglomerate]

Perhaps, but the magazines would still be too big to be practical for my purposes.

Yeah...
But hey, my caseless rifle should have no problems feeding from 60 round helical magazines.

[Fischermann]

Recoil operated caseless rifle with non-moving bolt y/n?

[Aqizithiuda]

Recoil operated caseless rifle with non-moving bolt y/n?

How?

[Fischermann]

Recoil operated caseless rifle with non-moving bolt y/n?

How?

Trigger mechanism keeps barrel forward, charging handle loads bullet into chamber.

Pulling the trigger at first sends the barrel back thanks to a spring on top, firing the first round. Afterwards it operates on a recoil mechanism with a muzzle booster.

I think it'd be some weird kind of blow forward (not sure on the details of the mechanism though).

Not really a good idea. With caseless ammo, you really want some kind of push through mechanism in case of a dud.

Push through?

Push through?

The round is pushed into the chamber, pushing any unfired cartridges out the other side.

[Puzikas]

Is it a bird? isit a plane? is it a minigun?

No its the german solution to MG3 barrels over heating when mounted on remote weapons stations:

This was so cool, I sent it to the guys over at The Firearms Blog.

And they care.

[Fischermann]

Push through?

The round is pushed into the chamber, pushing any unfired cartridges out the other side.

I can see the charging handle working somewhat like that.

If all else fails I can call it prototype russ magic.

I've roughed out some of the stock and showed the general location of the grenade tube over the barrel. I've also included a number of grenade types.

So what kind of chamber will you have and how will it be activated?

A "few" he says .

Looking good Corda! Can I assume that the barrel of the launcher slides forward and that it has provisions for single shot cased ammo?

Pretty cool!

I don't know, I don't know much about caseless systems. Any suggestions?

Well, the ones on the left are blank templates, but yeah, it's a versatile system.

From the top: Taser XREP, Buckshot, CS gas, HEAT, HESH, HEDP, Airburst

Actually, it will slide forward about 10mm, then pivot to the side, and you just pop shells in. And yeah, though cased ammo for launchers is going to become a rarity once MS 3GL-style UBGLs are introduced along with this system.

Not for a recoil operated weapon, unfortunately.

That's a good way of doing it.

It both facilitates a secure lockup, and prevents you from having to move your hand very far.

EDIT: more progress.

[Fischermann]

Not for a recoil operated weapon, unfortunately.

Now that I think of it, I think it'll be more of a blow forward system than recoil operated.

[Amastol]

Lots of wonderful detail Corda, looks great thus far.

Either way, I can't think of anyway to get caseless to work with it off the top of my head.

Guys, 1918 OICW?

[Aqizithiuda]

Guys, 1918 OICW?

Straight pull carbine with a permanently mounted grenade cup with an underbarrel SMG/pistol carbine. I actually have a prototype like this in the mid-30s for my MT alt.

[Fischermann]

Guys, 1918 OICW?

Spring-powered grenade thrower on top of magazine fed machinegun (a la Lewis).

[Tule]

I've been wondering. Who would win in an unarmed fight: an average street cop or an average foot soldier?

I'm leaning towards the cop as they have to fight unarmed a lot more, but I'm not certain.
