There's no need to issue them since they should already own them. Smartphones, which are a GPS, radio, and PDA all in one, are so affordable and readily available that even people in third world countries with relatively low income can afford them.

What you could do is have it be mandated that members of your armed forces own a smartphone or just have smartphone ownership be a requirement for joining.

Eh. Like I said, I've already got the cartridge drawn up. I've also got a mag and most of a gat.




Why is it that for side loading rifles everyone says to put the magazine well on the right side of the weapon, but most real world examples have it on the left?

I've planned on issuing Monochrome flip-phones. It would basically copy the the mulit-purpose nature of smart phones in a more energy efficient and durable manner. But of course other smart phones and modern-asian flip phones are available but must be verified for field use.

I'm not seeing a gas system, and I'm not sure why it would be the most reliable anyway.

Oh it isn't big enough to hold all that. I have a separate wallet to hold most of my money, cards, etc. The phone-wallet only holds a few folded bills and a single card.

That way, even if my phone or wallet is stolen I won't lose everything.


So my previous point about you all being skrum still stands.

The Delayed Roller Locking System utilizes blowback from a cartridge to cycle the system. So there's no gas tube or piston needed. It's the very same system the HK-91 operates. When was the last time you heard about a legitimate HK-91 breaking down after being fed thousands and thousands of round?

Then it doesn't have a gas operating system. Roller locked is all fine and good, but I've never heard that it's any better or worse than a proper gas operated weapon.
