What if you had a Spearhead type landing craft? Like a Big!Zubr?
Or is that what the Navy wants to do with EPF and ESD anyway? I'm trying to think of ways Galla might have a powerful amphibious capability since it is an island country and all that's coming to mind are outsized SES monstrosities on the order 3000 tons and catamaran LSTs.

Can you explain what you mean spearhead here? I don't understand. The term fails me.
If you need to land many troops much fast, really all I can think of besides VEH DEH VEH like airborne force and their Naval counterparts is just using hovercraft with amphibious transport docks and Landers.Gallia- wrote:https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/65329749/Lineart/Spergscale/Infantry/Galla/Gallanhistorical.png

I could say much of the typhoon.
It's primarily military (>>>>>>) use is going to be just to be a lightweight mover and replace several other trucks in Russian service, and it's going to cary dudes around places outside high intensity areas.
They're biggest users under fire will be the MVD.

This is fundamentally different from the smaller squads that are carried in IFVs and smaller-capacity APCs in that those squads are intended to work with one another to do the same thing and are much less independent because of it.
Am I correct on this?
No
It's to allow them to absorb casualties and have redundancy so the platoons do not loose their weapons sets and dont render the company combat ineffective
It was at a time to allow the infantry to close to combat range and engage while the Machine gun team suppressed the formation, engage and then destroy them with the bayonet and grenade.DnalweN acilbupeR wrote:

I think that should give less overpenetration against unarmored targets, better effects with JHP loads, and possibly better performance for subsonic (silenced) applications?

1. Impossible to tell.
2. Only recently as there been strides in allowing the same rifle, with the same magazine, to use cartridges with significantly different COALs without the change of major systems.

There's literally nothing different about this than a normal magazine besides it's feeding 12ga shells?
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0012]
The present invention provides a new and better way of addressing this problem. A double stack box magazine may taper to a single stack feed at the top. In the double-stack portion, the rounds are allowed to shift forward and rearward without regard to head or rim position. Once single stack geometry is met, an angled surface on the inside of the magazine body catches both sides of the rim of the cartridge and pulls it back to the rear of the magazine, allowing proper alignment and preventing the rims from binding during feed.
[0013]
This allows a very large variation of cartridge lengths, both within or beyond the same nominal length, to be fed reliably from the same magazine. That is, not only can cartridges of varying actual lengths within the same nominal size (such as 2¾″) due to variation in manufacturer and/or load be mixed in the same magazine, cartridges of different nominal length (length call out, such as 3″) can be mixed in the same magazine (such as 2¾″ and 3″, up to the maximum chamber length of the shotgun) without loss of feed reliability. Because only one side of a cartridge rim at a time can engage a slot or groove on the inside surface of the magazine body when the shells are in alternating columns, if the front-to-rear dimension of the magazine body is sized to accept shells of varying lengths, the rims cannot reliably be held in alignment against the recoil forces of firing the shotgun or other vibration, sudden movement, or impact. The interior angled surface guides the rim of the uppermost cartridges to the rear, no matter how the shell has become situated during its travel up the magazine body, and places the rim of upper cartridges in front of the rim of the next cartridge below it.
[0014]
Alternatively, an insert can be used to take up the excess opening in the front of the magazine. This is less desirable because many different thicknesses of inserts would be needed to meet the same length capabilities as the primary. The followers would have to be switched out along with the inserts to account for the front to back shortening and lengthening of the magazines' interior. This would also sacrifice the ability to load 2¾″ and 3″ shotgun shells in the same magazine and would be less convenient or likely would not be well accepted by the shooter to have to swap out parts in the magazine.
[0015]
Another feature of the present design is a follower that is guided in front and rear (rather than lateral) tracks. This allows for a short, one-piece follower that maintains a consistent location as well as consistent force. A one-piece side tilting follower design, like used in many double stack pistol magazines, is possible, but does not offer the same consistency. Any inconsistencies can make jamming more likely. A side tilting design would have to tilt to the side as the follower transitioned between the single and double stack portions of the magazine, while at the same time maintaining the location and angle of the shells resting against the changing angles of the follower.

Your round won't headspace.
