By taste no, by use yes. You can make a ton of it and it will keep for months.

Trying to segue back on topic, would borscht be useful/acceptable as a military ration? IIRC it's more popular in Polish cuisine than Russian?

People think he's a crumudgen but he's actually trying to protect the neighborhood kids from his house, which haunts the angry spirit of his long passed morbidly obese wife. Usually by ripping apart little girls tricycles with his bare fucking hands.

No, its to keep them away from the chechens I keep in my basement.

Borscht is Ukrainian (Said through gritted teeth), but probably is more popular in Russia and Ukraine than in Pol&. I don't know a whole lot about their life there but I would think they probably eat a moderate amount.

It's a thick soup. I don't recommend it as a ration personally because its going to be a bit difficult to store and preserve it. Unless it's powdered.

Just issue chicken soup mmmmm

Posted: **Sun Sep 13, 2015 3:52 pm**

Any non-dessicated soup is more trouble to issue as a standard ration than it's worth.

Powered Borscht.

Because cosmonauts should never think that even in the depths of space they are free from the Soviet Union.

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 sound reductions device for sneaky sneaky forces of special.

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).

fuck you for drawing a good looking bulpup AK.

I absolutely need to have this in my sig. I had to shorten some things and now it's exactly at the character limit, but it was all worth it.

"Modernized" version with rails because everything must have rails and plastic furniture. I'll probably change some other stuff as well (suggestions welcome), and am currently studying a way to add a top rail to the thing without completely obscuring iron sight view and not removing the carry handle (suggestions more than welcome).

Is the "JPG-iness" of the image fixed? Like all my artwork, it's BMP, so it really shouldn't be screwed up.

Yes, that one has uploaded as .bmp format.

Did a bit of messing around. Turned off F.lux and yeah the furniture actually did look a bit crap, so I darkened it up a little. Thoughts?

That's real nice. May I suggest eschewing the top rail and just mounting your optics directly to the carry handle, like so? I guess your iron sights would be unusable, but I like the way it looks ;_;

Exactly what i needed! My concern was being able to use the iron sights when no optic was attached (with a rail in front of the sights, you wouldn't be able to do so), but this will work really well. I'll just add a "slot" for a screw and done. Actually, i feel a bit ashamed for not having thought about it before since i did know about it but for some reason i couldn't remember.

Also, the new furnitore looks pretty good, a darkening was just what it needed.

Nice! the weird thing is, i linked it exactly like i did with the others; maybe putting too much images together causes problems?

EDIT: update: two holes drilled in carry handle for optics like Sediczja pointed out. Also, i remembered the AK-74M uses a smooth reciever cover, so it'd only make sense that the FAK-74BM does the same.
