To;dr amrs are faaaaaaaaat

AWM for all of teh winz

Okay~ But isn't it replaced by [url=Accuracy International Arctic Warfare]AIAW?[/url]

Where are you getting that from?

The AWM (artic warfare magnum) is the larger calibre development of the artic warfare both by accuracy international.

Technically the latest version is the AX338 but you would know this if you had read the wikipedia article on the artic warfare series.

The wz. 28 Browning was the second best developed BAR model.

In 1939? It was the best BAR and like the top 5 IARs you could get, the list, not in any real order, was like wz. 28, Bren/vz. 33, M1918A2, vz. 26, and the FN Model D.

The bestest BAR would be a wz. 28 with the simplified quick-change barrel of the later Swedish BARs.

Weird, it's almost like the definitive and 100% objective hierarchy of BAR excellence wasn't posted 3 pages ago;

Kg m/37 > FN Model D > Colt Model 1925 (R 75A) > Wz. 1928 > Colt Monitor (R 80) > M1918 > M1918A2

*FEELSGOODMAN

Not really feelsgoodman now lately, considering that 8mm Mauser is just a shell of it's former self. Modern day loadings are very anemic in comparison to what Poland and Germany were running.

I can has MG3 chambered in 8mm Mauser pls?

9.3x64 Brenneke or you're doing it wrong

[Puzikas]

Kg m/37 > FN Model D > Colt Model 1925 (R 75A) > Wz. 1928 > Colt Monitor (R 80) > M1918 > M1918A2

"R 80 > R 75A"
Surely you jest? R 80's neat comp does not redeem lack of quick-change barrel.

PS, why m/21-37 and not just m/37 ?

Lol, deleted that pretty quickly, eh Estovnia?

"R 80 > R 75A"

I figure it's a matter of whether you're wanting an automatic rifle to use as an automatic rifle, or an automatic rifle to use as a machine gun.

That's a typo on my part actually, the R75A should be above the R80.

PS, why m/21-37 and not just m/37 ?

That's what it's called in most literature on the subject beyond Wikipedia.
Books on the subject:
Automatvapen Sverige
Ballous Rock In a Hard Place and America's Rock
Laemleins Browning Automatic Rifle
and brief mention of it in Goldsmith's The Browning Machine Gun Volume 2 which focuses more on Browning's 1918 and 1919 designs.

But muh Monitor :c

[Puzikas]

The Monitor might have been a better precursor to the modern service rifle bit it wasn't a better Machine Rifle sadly

Pistol grip and compensator help greatly though

Compact light machinegun?

Compact light machinegun.

[Allanea]

XM-25 has some problems.

[Imperializt Russia]

XM-25 has some problems.

Unlike some "mismanaged" over-budget problems, the XM-25 seems to be an excellent weapon system anyway.

Could it possibly be redeemed?

[Eisarn-Ara]

Compact light machinegun?

Compact light machinegun.

What components (drum excluded) make it a Light MAchine Gun exactly? Where does it differ from the other new-wave Kalashnikovs?

[Allanea]

Quick-change barrel.

[Imperializt Russia]

On an AK? How?

Also, how? I don't see a lever or handle.

[Allanea]

All that we know is this picture and some comments from IzhMash representatives.

Is that a bolt action converted to fire full auto? I like.

It's a bolt-action with some ungodly amount of bolt lugs.
