Very nice. I like the linearts. You have creativity, now you just need to practice.

I take it most of the regulars know about my FALcoholism. Knowing what I like in a rifle, what would be a decent battle rifle to replace my current one (which is based on the FN FAL)?

L64 that's not bullpup.

[Samozaryadnyastan]

Ammo cans.
Which transform to spam, because ammunition.

Okay then... How big would a Spam can be for the 10x90...

If you feel the cartridges are too big, you could always issue them like this:

There is no advantage to de-bullpupping a rifle.

Better bayonetting.

I do like Box's like that. Yeah I think I'll do that

Okay, that's how i'm issuing rifle-ammo packages of 12.7x108mm and 15.2x122mm. Machine gun versions will come in 250rd (12.7) and 150rd (15.2) belts.

Know that my current rifle in in service in 2013 so this replacement battle rifle would need to be rather modern. It's an old platform that can no longer be improved.

Any suggestions?

Really unless you go with soemthing exotic like caseless or polymer cased telescoped ammo there really isn't anything that would notably better. You could perhaps keep the piston system and move over to a rotary locked bolt mechnaism for "moar polymer" on the receiver but really conventional firearms design is pretty much at it zenith and pretty much has been since the 40s. The last step in the evolution will be to go fully digital and netwroekd with your acesories and start messing with smart triggers and scopes.

In fairness, I think spam cans have always been a rather Russian thing, whereas the Americans have preferred the 'cartridge box' like above.
Really huge cartridges, ie for machine guns, are probably shipped pre-belted and in their ammunition boxes to straight affix to the weapon. 7.62 Tsarist specified for the PK is apparently shipped in PK munition boxes, pre-belted.

i.e. an AR-18...

Why not develop your own rifle model? Your BR system made a whole-Hel of alot of sense, great material, just sitting there, ripe for the modification/upgrading.

L64 that's not bullpup.

There is no advantage to de-bullpupping a rifle.

For starters, a non-bullpup rifle of equal barrel length would have more potential under-barrel rail estate.

[Bajireyn]

A M.1880 Langmesser bayonet. For New Tsavon, of course.

[Benomia]

L64 that's not bullpup.

i.e. an AR-18...

I was not aware there was an AR-18 chambered in 4.85x49.

Although I would be very interested in seeing that.

Fordorsia hasn't issued bayonets since the 30's. Even before then they were hardly used.

Well, I know next to nothing about ammunition and internals. Not a fan of all that "smart" accessory stuff either.

There probabaly exists some sort of experiemental model deep in the pattern rooms but really why would you convert an AR-18 mechanism to a bullpup layout only to convert it back? why not just stick a new barrel on the AR-18?

The entire point of the L64 was its cartridge. A bullpup AR-18 is just an SA80/L85/L86.

Then really there isn't anything worthwhile repalcing your mark 8 wih and won't be until "lulz sapce magic bullets".

Well unless ICly the latest version is still based on old receivers that are long out of production, have worn out and have had the sapres stock run down thus you need soemthing "comercial off the shelf" right now i.e. where the British Army are going to be in a few years.

In that case I guess I'm stuck with it. I suppose I could do more weapons that failed to get adopted by the military though.

not really, it was a bullpup AR-18 first with a new round, designed to be easily interchangable with exisitng 5.56mm weapons, second.

Why not just retconn the Falcoholism based rifles? Seriously, start from scratch. A clean slate so-to-speak. Fordorsian innovation at it's most glorious and best.

I forgot to mention it before, but the electric motor on your improved PIAT is a bad, bad idea. It'll only add considerable weight and bulk to the weapon.

So scrap the electric motor entirely then? I was originally thinking some sort of pneumatic system but thought that would be equally bulky and less reliable. So best just to stick with the old PIAT system, just with a charging handle for an easier reload if the spigot fails to lock back in place.

[Puzikas]

Large diameter (12.7x108 and 14.5x114) rounds do not come in the traditional cans. (14.5x114 mostly)
They typically come in very large wooden boxes in a re-Sealable can ready for feeding. In WWII loose rounds came in cans, and there were...I wanna say 110 per. The 12.7x108 come in both.
