So you're saying mosins aren't obsolete.

SO MUCH DAKA

The ultimate DDoS.

Was this tank supposed to climb over that step?

mmm chauchat

With the chauchat being long recoil, would it be possible to cut the barrel down considerably for use as a trench clearer?

I know not about Russians, but I do know Finns have sniper rifle based on Mosin action.

And like tribesmen in what is defined by America as being the middle east

More than likely all the barrel length helps with recoil, so no.

Also it was already a trench clearer, you don't need to obrez everything.

Reminds me of that Submachine gun....

or a DP-28.

What are the best ways to increase an army's mobility in a preindustrial time?

Be the Golden Horde.

Rifle is fine, they say. Kalashnikov no need configuration of bullpupings, they say.



Looking at it now, the first version kinda looks like a poor man's L85. It might be because i recyceld the handguard from the normal AKs resulting in a somewhat bulky look, plus the round cut of the carry handle totally not stolen from my NotM16A2. Yeah, laziness sucks.

So, i did this because the internet decided it did not want to work anymore and i was somewhat bored. I'm thinking that its story could be an entry for an armed forces competition that resulted in the victory of another rifle, the FA03A4, but it would later find use in police units, militia units and a few special forces units alike (since some SF units are given great leeway when it comes to choosing the stuff they use, and police officers may acquire and use their own weapons).

Why two safety switches, you ask (or maybe not)? Well, since i was a bit worried about how having your safety/fire selector in the rear of the rifle would affect situations where a quick response is needed, i decided to add another safety switch near the pistol grip: this one would block the trigger bar, preventing it from being pushed. Also, for some reason i decided to put gas regulators in the mix, and the cleaning kit was moved from the stock to the pistol grip (albeit being smaller).

Version of standard, with same barrel as usual Kalashnikov. Similarity of handle of carry to that of M-16 is coincidence of pure.

Version with explosive projectile launcher of underbarrel positionings, chambered for western 40mm NATO grenades.

Shorter-barreled versionings because for some reason engineers decided standard version wasn't compact enough. Difference is mininal any of way. Either they drank too much vodka-based caipirinhas or they just wanteds reason for put in grip of forwardings.

Version of compact for vehicle crew and police.

Version of sound reductions device for sneaky sneaky forces of special.

Poor mans L85?

You mean the EM-2?

Good roads. You can mount your entire army and only use pack mules for your baggage train if you want, but mules trains are less cost effective than mule or ox drawn wagons, and they can't carry as much weight or bulk, which is important if you want hospital tents or portable forges or large amounts of arrows, etc. Also, horses eat a lot.

Good roads not only make marching easier for infantry and riding easier for the cavalry, but they allow you to use wheeled vehicles. Built right you don't have to worry about mud, which has the added advantage of encouraging trade during traditionally wet times of the year.

Please no, at least externally it looks more like the L85 than the EM-2 does.

fuck you for drawing a good looking bulpup AK.

Some MVD units still use them as of 2008

Would it be possible to completely upsize a weapon and have it still work?

By this, I mean that you take something like an AKM and make everything bigger so that its rounds are a meter long.

Can this be done, or is size important when you're making a gun?

Probably, but what would be the point? You couldn't use magazines because of cartridge weights, and the gun is going to be much heavier, more complex, and require some sort of complex cradle to absorb recoil when compared to an ordinary artillery piece.

No point. Simple curiosity as to what kinds of bad would happen.
