Smoothbore BR for EVA work, y/n?

Go for it man, go for it.

[New Visegrad]

Here is PMG version


As mentioned earlier, I was following on from the Bora-Acorn Gladius low-velocity rifle in terms of design. It has a long barrel to ensure accuracy, and the optic is stood off from the main chassis to avoid heat expansion screwing with the zero (and also to make room for upwards-facing gas vents in the upper receiver - better recoil compensation and helps stabilize a recoil-induced drift). The stock's pretty hefty; lots of recoil dampening kit in there. Vertical foregrip as opposed to the Gladius's angled, for better bracing.

I'm calling this the Bora-Acorn M105 Sabre - I figure it'd go with the Gladius as a two-piece "all your shipboard defense needs covered" set for starship crews.

why all the pmg stuff? It just doesn't carry the "caliber" of your lineart.

Lineart is haaaard
People were posting PMG earlier and it inspired me to go play around with it a bit. I might do lineart versions later, but I do still have ArdaviaNightwatch and your gauss autocannon to get around to...and I kinda like the idea of Bora-Acorn producing more classically-designed weapons with rails and stuff, which I'm historically not very good at drawing.

Lineart is hard? Matey, when I get my new PC built, I'm going to be beginning the Ulfran Arsenal Retconning Project (UARP for short) in earnest. Beginnign with bronze-age/early-late iron age materials. Talk about a "long project roster", right?

And you'll probably get it finished before I'm done with my two things
I guess I just don't have the motivation I used to. Often I open up PSP, look at the image, and just go "colouring this is going to take so fucking long. Think of all the shitposting I could do in that time." Then I shitpost all through lunch instead of finishing the picture.

Although. This conversation might have started something. I think I'll try to do ArdaviaNightwatch tomorrow. Thanks for the inspiration

[Absurrania]

Ok, so I'm going to try and put out some less common infantry weapons. This one is based on the M4 CQBR, the SA4, but without the top handle sights. It's supposed to be used by tank crews members(middle version), soldiers expected to engage in urban warfare(top &bottom version), and is an option to spec ops soldiers(they use less). Fires the 5.56x45mm NATO round. So, any improvement?

The first one has its sights attached very incorrectly.

Assuming you're sticking with the AR-15 style DGI system, the middle one wont work.

Why switch from the Kalashnikov?

And there is only one acceptable carbine for AFV use.

That, or an ArchCarbine

These are all experimental designs. I've overused the Kalashnikov design. And why won't the middle one work? It's designed to be compact like that for tank, boat, transport plane(yes, transport plane), and APC crewmen. Soldiers that aren't going to be in the direct line of fire, but will need a small and easy to store yet powerful punch should they be placed in the lined of fire. A man operating a tank doesn't need an M16 when an enemy soldiers comes down the top hatch.

The AR-15's action goes into the stock.


Without the stock, the gun will not fire.

It doesn't work because standard direct impingement AR-15s need a buffer tube to work.

Get rid of the front sight you have (which is a gas port for the tube) and throw a gas block, short piston, and buttcap (ala XM8 carbine) and you've got a tanker carbine.

But, it's a pretty easy fix. You can just do something like this:

[Absurrania]

For some reason, PMG won't work for me...It either won't load, or it loads but won't save to .JPEG. Going to toy around with some LMG designs in the old version since right now, the newer version isn't working. XM8 drum mag looks appealing.

Yes, I suppose you could do that.

Or, you could use a man's carbine


In other news,

Or not.

I think I'll replace the SIG gas block with one designed for DGI later.

Also guns because topic.

[Absurrania]

All right, I'm going to experiment with multiple platforms. For my LMG, should I go with the MK46, the M249, or the XM8 light machine gun version? My AK LMG has too small a magazine. The only reason I chose it was for it's lightweight, but I've pretty much abandoned that.
