I put the poll up, but am too much of a derp-poor person to know how to do the new poll style that prevents puppet stuffing. If someone would be willing to do that then I'd be much obliged.

You simpleton. Corda's dead

Background
[hr]

The SARR-56 was designed to replace the venerable SAM-12 rifle which was becoming increasingly inefficient as barrels were worn out and insurgent forces found themselves in possession of automatic weapons which left the security forces at a major disadvantage. Due to cost concerns the Defence Ministry decided to adopt a semi-automatic conversion of the SAM-12 as the new Kalumban service rifle. However severe issues in the conversion process led to the resulting rifle having very little in common with its 'predecessor'.

The weapon was found to have series reliability issues, due to the rushed conversion process and the sub-standard materials used in the construction of the weapon. This forced the adoption of foreign weapons, and eventually the indigenous Shambulio Bunduki-72.

Construction and Design
[hr]
The SARR-56 is a direct impingement design which reduced the number of bolt moving parts to only six: the bolt carrier, then the rear locking tilting bolt which carries the extractor, the ejector and the firing pin, and lastly the recoil spring. In spite of the relativity simplicity of the design it was found to be increasingly unreliable, especially when used in the harsh sandy conditions of the Kalumban bush.

The sights of the weapon were an interesting and ultimately flawed design. The entire rear sight block was adjusted along a rail with 100m increments. As the weapon was made of sub-standard materials the rail quickly wore out, making it impossible to sight, and even when in perfect condition the sight was easily knocked a notch or two when a soldier was moving leading to missed shots and unnecessary casualties.

Variants
[hr]

The SARR-562 comes in two of variants:

• SARR-56 - The standard rifle
  
• SARR-56/70 - A lightened version with a scope mount

Just make a locked region with a poll eh

[Padnak]

no idea why I have the most votes given that I've never contributed anything to IDT...

[Fordorsia]

Have a public list of all the regulars and have everyone TG their vote to the OP or post their vote on here instead of a nomination. Simples.

And Padnak, you contribute sexiness

[EsToVnIa]

can we have a "none of the above" option, all these ppl r terrible OPs, especially puzikas and spreewerke

bruh.

AeÞirheim doctrine = light and mobile

Azurgan doctrine = da same ting
This is light and mobile, and even that is pushing 23kg. By comparison, you seem rather under equipped.

The site says so...

That's when you've got to figure the weights out for yourself.

[Puzikas]

Puppet stuffing sounds like a sport banned in the United Kingdom and Australia for being too radical.


Also innawoods lacks weights for every item and the soldier is grosly underequipt and stuff

Edit: please don't vote for me. If I win by some off chance I'm just not going to post it, let one of the others do it.

Not wholly true. Some items have weights, although I don't know how accurate.
His truper or mine.

[Galmarch]

So.. I've failed in trying not to make a Swedish nation yet again.
Just look at the flag! Oh well, drawing a AK5C.

AK5C or Stg90 folks?
Both are loosely based off of the AK right?

[Imperializt Russia]

Well the round is ancient. But there are modern AP variants that are loaded with APDS. But I don't use DU, only Wolfram.

You lose nothing and gain everything by switching to depleted uranium, including radiation poisoning of people hit by shards of the shattered penetrators after they do their job. Does your tungsten do that?

Ludicrous costs.

DU is a waste product of the nuclear fuel cycle (and weapons programme).
If you don't have a weapons programme or nuclear power programme, DU is an odd thing for you to have.

total weight approx 12 kg.

A rifle, a machine pistol and a handgun, and total carried weight 12kg?
I think you're missing a lot of considerations here or tallied something wrong.

With only the rifle, it's an actual struggle for some militaries to keep combat fighting load under 25kg.

You know that was for the third point. And ffs add at least water unless you wanna go the way the Christians did at Hattin.

ffs water purifier, ponds and empty bottle

I'll give you thirty seconds to have a stab at why hunter-gathering hasn't been a thing for large portions of the world population for some hundred years, and thousands in the west and middle east.



Thirty seconds?
It's not very efficient. Or useful for anything approaching a large group, at all. That's why since the advent of static farming societies, human population growth has been explosive.

This. Basically whilst I do have a nuclear weapons program it's not nearly as huge as the american or Soviet ones. So there is far less DU to go around. And thus it became uneconomic to develop a whole range of projectiles armors etc. using it when I'd have to develop a second set for non DU on the side anyway.

It depends on what he means by "hunting". If there is no supervision than his soldiers are far more likely to simply live off the land like ye old armies did. Meaning that they'll supplement what little they catch by stealing from the locals. And history has shown us that this approach actually can work quite well a be it for a short period of time.

I just voted for Nua Corda as next OP.

/because.

What was the mechanism for blocking puppets again?

Regional pools are open, meaning that you can see who voted for whom. And you can thus weed out puppets, non regulars, people you don't like etc. The mechanism is thus that they set up a dummy region and make a pool there. Than they hide the link to it somewhere in the OP. And who ever is lucky to notice it in time gets to vote.

[Korva]

Foraging worked when population density was lower and every army was doing it.

But if you are using valuable daylight to forage and your opponent has field kitchens and MREs, you are probably in trouble.

[Puzikas]

is that a challenge?

Go ahead and vote me, see if I post the OP.

Not wholly true. Some items have weights, although I don't know how accurate.

Which is what I was saying, not all the items have a given or correct weight.

Repost:

So then folks, this suitably hefty (.565 (maybe .582) inch chambered) revolver needs a locking mechanism and a potentially better designed grip.

any advice on either criteria?

Fit it with ivory grip panels.

That reminds me. How many rounds did the average rifleman carry for the section PK?
