It has the big benefit that you can have a longer barrel without having a longer rifle, since the magazine (and therefor the bolt carrier) is further back.
The major downside is that reloading the weapon is different from "normal" rifles, which a lot of people dislike.

i think i read somewhere this was at a weapon expo, and that was like a mockup
so in other words, its not a real thing
its a, hey, this would be cool
I assume like the early talos concepts that weren't actually a thing
just strapped a bunch of gear together
mmm, and TALOS program concluded full body exosuit isn't feasable atm
last year i guess
but maybe a lower body one could be
'removed before combat'
lol
I remember looking into small turbine engines and there being work being done a few years ago to develop them for military
I wonder if that was related
I think we all would love to see a starcraft like powersuit with turbines and hydrogen powerpacks lol
frosty imp
Thats the nee Sotnik armor that will be given to all russian Soldiers in near future. Thats what i know.
So thats no mockup. That is their future Equipment.
ember idol
"Today we have started the first stage of development – the definition of tactical and technical requirements."
literally a quote
TALOS mockups were part of a US Exosuit program...that they constantly thought they'd have legit prototypes out...like every year until they indicated it was unfeasable last year
they defined requirements, had mockups
thats a mockup, they said they are defining tactical and technical requirements
that means none of it exists yet
they are likely all seperate things sure
mmmm, what they do have is something they call Ratnik
Sotnik doesn't exist, Ratnik does, and sotnik is what they are going to make based off it
now I want to more know more about ratnik, which has 7.62mm protection
ehhh, apparently its just a gear set
so a bunch of armor, backpack, hearing protection
so yea, sotnik is just a bunch of experimental stuff like TALOS stuff was as far as I can see.
I can't find a lot of information on the russian 'stormer' exosuit that it is all based on
the US exosuit program is basically a slowburn now in development, where TALOS they wanted to get something out the door within a few years
I imagine IVAS is going to go into whatever SOCOM/Army calls the next program, along with NGSW rifle, ammo, and scope
all the top defence contractors are all showing off exosuit developments too
I would assume TALOS might have been canceled in favor of a new program later on that uses those programs that are in development, and whatever the major defence contractors have cooking up in the background exosuit wise. delaying the program until those things mature
russia does some of the unpowered exosuit stuff in combat deployments....on a small scale
so as far as I can see, everyone is still in the pretty early stages of development for powered exoskeletons with armor/integrated systems. All experimental, unworthy for field tests for years still.
Ratnik-3 is supposed to be the first legit usage.....but like TALOS was expected to be pretty fast startup and go.....I wonder how well russia's attempt will be
I see anywhere from 2022 deployment, to 2025
so maybe by 2030, SF will have this type of thing equipped lol
2025-2030

Sotnik exists and will not need much more time for release. You can just google it. The exosuit thing is the only unfinished Part.
And that is not a last year mockup. It was official shown and teased like a week ago.
ember idol
the exosuit is the key to the whole .50 cal resistance
without being turned to mush
your body certainly can't absorb the shock, and noone has armor light enough to carry that can distribute it enough to survive
they can stop it, but the energy still turns you to mush without penetration
otherwise its literally just their regular kit with a hud
frosty imp
The fact is we dont know that. And they said that the version without exosuit can protect the soldier of .50 cal shots. We will see in the future. In the Presentation they only showed the non exosuit version (you can find videos on youtube) and what its able to achieve. I cant believe it too and i think its only a marketing thing.

I kind of wonder about the viability of heavy infantry armor without an exoskeleton in modern warfare?
like, a lot of the meta is in moving fast, repositioning, and flanking maneuvers isn't it

which I can only assume opens you up to getting wiped out by artillery and air support

So there is a confusing chain of Colt companies
because it spun itself into different parts
and they seem to have spun off, then the spinoff bought them.....and I'm confused
Colt Defence LLC is the part that does defence, law enforcement, and security
then there is New Colt Holding Corp.......and Colt's Manufacturing Company, LLC
soo.....they bought Colt Holding Company, LLC.....which I think owns Colt's Manufacturing Company, LLC.....but I think Colt Defence LCC owned Colt Holding Company.....soo they bought the civilian part of Colt......maybe
So only the civilian Colt stuff was bought afaik, the Military Colt stuff is a separate company that wasn't bought.
Colt's Manufacturing Company spun off Colt Defence in 2002, then Colt Defence bought Colt Holding Company (which owns Colt's manufacturing Company) in 2013
then Colt Defence Company declared bankrupcy in 2015

For inland water usage you can use any radio as long as it's able to send/receive the required frequencies. Although depends on the country and type of boat license you have.
My parents also have a Boafeng on their boat because it's a lot cheaper than the build in ones, and can be removed when they go on land somewhere.

Baofengs are good for purely civillian use, just like AR500... Well not really but I mistook him as wanting to find a more tactical per say radio

Driving a car being able to do 280km/h is also not illegal, unless you drive over the speedlimit.

Anyone smarter then me able to explain how weapons like the aai acr where able to function?
3 round burst before the recoil from the first round hit. Like how on earth can you delay physics.
fresh fulcrum
Doesn't seem to be any public images of how the AAI rifle's mechanism worked but there's speculation that it had a rotating chamber that held three rounds since that was a feature on some of the previous flechette rifles they did.
Recoil reduction would be by having the muzzle device it had, and probably some delayed blowback mechanism where the three chambers rotated into battery to load the salvo of three rounds as the carrier group moved back freely on rollers or a lever
merry pendant

Great video, however I still fail to understand how it defies physics with the “delayed blowback mechanism”

Google says the brake/compensator, and firing 21 grain projectile assemblies
that's it.
You can see how the G11 worked, it doesn't defy physics, it takes advantage of them:
unreal herald
So the entire gun mechanism moves back per shot delivering the kick of all 3 rounds at one?
keen lake

yes
The recoil in the three-round burst is not felt by the weapon's user until after the third round has left the chamber. This is accomplished by having the barrel and feeding mechanism "float" within the rifle casing. When the rounds are fired, the barrel, magazine, chamber and operating mechanism recoils back against recoil springs several inches. Only when it strikes the buffer at the back of the rifle does the user feel the recoil. During the rearward travel of the internal mechanism the rifle loads and fires 3 rounds.
it's not perfect, this is dispersion at 50 m, standing position, silhouette for scale (my addition)
unreal herald
That’s great except I have 0 clue how the standard dispersal pattern would look due to that being an unconnected image. It would be nice if they where connect
Sounds like a painful process to create... I can see why it’s so rarely used

empty marsh
Random question. How come machine guns dont use multiple barrels, like, pro cons...
that can be done by gas from firing the weapon depending on design it can cock and load it too, but the problem is that it would be too big and cumbersome for any regular soldier and it would also be very expensive due to how hard it is to machine the parts necessary
you also have the problem of keeping the barrels locked in while firing so as to not misfeed, misfire, or not load at all.
rocky mortar
Huh. Ok
empty marsh
alternatively you could just as easily line the inside of a 4140 or 4150 steel barrel with tungsten (for any other conventional MG)
for better thermal properties
it all depends on what you need the weapon for
rocky mortar
I was thinking why people didn't use it for suppressing for extended periods. Because one barrel would be cooling while the other one fired?
empty marsh
Yes but the problem with that is gunk, carbon and powder remains building up in the action, weight/portability, and also comfortable shooting, there is a reason why mg teams carry with them spare barrels and shoot in short bursts that extend the barrel life and preserves ammo
rocky mortar
Ok
empty marsh
Usually the mg’s we have now is more than capable of doing their task, however weight and recoil is still an issue
rocky mortar
I see.
Also. One other question
empty marsh
Yea go ahead
rocky mortar
Why do people not use Caseless ammunition
empty marsh
@rocky mortar Little out of my field there but ok:) one of the reasons why is 1. polymer "cases" have not been reliable enough to withstand the conditions prior to firing 2. the ones using the propellant charge as a "case" have been prone to accidental detonation as a cause of heat and sparks (natural) and the barrel heat after firing a couple of rounds 3. a lot of systems using truly caseless ammunition have been too big/bulky, complex and or expensive to make (google g11) 4. problems with sealing and fragility of the ammunition have caused a lot of problems 5. the conventional ammunition with brass or steel cases, where the brass or steel case also is a part of the thing that keeps the pressure and in some cases heat from the explosion contained so that your gun does not turn into a very complicated grenade. 6 gp-25 and ags-40 uses caseless ammunition, however these dont produce nearly as much heat and pressure as a regular rifle round. 7. there are also gyrojets where the round is essentially a self contained rocket in the form of a bullet. 8. the americans are in the late testing and possible adoption phases of some rifles using caseless ammunition (like the textron bid) but as revealed these rifles are much more complicated than your typical ar and there is skepticism to whether or not the rifle is reliable, same goes for the ammunition. I myself have also tried coming up with some designs for caseless or telescoped ammunition and weapons using these but nothing i can make or test in the next half a decade or so
There are also very few designs that makes caseless ammunition and weapons that use them any better than current arms, this means that weight is really the only pro here
The initial startup cost for making such arms and ammunition also far outweighs those of continuing with current ammo and weapons and starting production of the latter
There is also 2 stage caseless ammunition used by tanks and artillery but those are too complex to be made into a handheld rifle or mg
I highly advise you to read up on the U.S. Army's Lightweight Small Arms Technologies (LSAT) program
As that will teach you more than i can avout this subject
I hope this answers your question somewhat

Thing is, sidearms aren't very important in actual military operations so it's not really worth working in a bunch of tiny guns that just don't work as well as an extra magazine of 5.56 would.
For example the deltas still use 1911s when 45 doesn't really make much difference from 9mm to the guy who's just gotten a new hole in him. Instead those 1911s are basically like a hip mounted mascot that can shoot bullets.

Switching to your sidearm is faster than reloading. So in a CQB situation with multiple enemies it's always a good idea to hotkey the switch button.
Of course... Public's prefer to sit on a hill shooting RPG's into a town, rather than going in and clear it properly.

Honestly I find the orange tip thing pretty silly. For example an orange tip or no orange tip wouldn't make a difference to a policeman if you're out on the street with your toy.
AFAIK the only time airsoft gun are mentioned in Norwegian law is grouping them in with deactivated rifles as objects that are to be treated exactly like real rifles in criminal law, meaning that for example having an airsoft gun with you while you're robbing a bank makes it count as armed robbery even though you weren't actually armed. Police and bystanders are affected about as much by real or fake guns in practice.

warm grail
That's not even a requirement.
It depends on your state. NY requires airsoft rifles to have a brightly colored muzzle to distinguish them from a real firearm. Its stupid but it is what it is. Ive seen video of a thief robbing a store with a fake gun he painted. One of the people in the store was a security guard for his company and had a gun on him. He shot the thief behind the counter and when he came around the corner the thief dropped the toy and put his hands up saying "wait wait! Its a fake gun!". Security guard proceeded to aim at the guy and goes "oh well. mine's real!"

fresh fulcrum
Not during the soviet era, no
The US didn’t adopt the M24 until nearly the 1990s anyway so the Soviet Union was no more within a couple of years. Some Russian special units used the MTs-116M bolt action rifle in the late 1990s after the Soviet Union, but SVD had been the standard sniper rifle throughout the soviet era

MTs-116M?

also you got other hunting rifles that could be used as "sniper" at that time
like Bars or Los
if you want something that is closest to M24 then probably SV-98
fresh fulcrum
SV-98 wasn't around Soviet times though. It was kind of an effort to make a more affordable and more suitable alternative to MTs-116M for the military, and wasn't adopted until the 2000s
merry pendant
obviously yes but thats why i said its closest to M24
warm grail
Yeah. The Russians aren't as obsessed with long range, precision rifles like the American or similar NATO allies. They rely more on armor and firepower. But yes, I'd say the SV98 is as close as you're going to get because Soviet Russia really had nothing but the Dragunov rifle
fresh fulcrum
There's a greater emphasis on it in the Russian military nowadays, same as there is in NATO. At least in special forces and recon units. Accordingly Russian forces are using the same long-range cartridges that NATO countries use now things have shifted away from 7.62mm for that kind of work - .300WM, .338 Lapua etc. Often the rifles and optics are coming from Europe too, but there are a number of Russian manufacturers doing .338, .408 etc. long-range bolt-action rifles which also see military use
But it's a two-way convergence because more NATO countries are adopting semi-automatic 7.62mm rifles for snipers as a supplement to long-range rifles, and adding designated marksmen to their squads. Effectively doing the same thing the SVD was doing for Russia all these years

The AK-47 was NOT a prototype. It was a full production weapon and the initial design by Mikhail Kalashnikov. The AKM is an upgrade to the AK-47 with better strength and reliability. The only 'prototype' AK was the AN-94 and that wasn't even designed by Mikhail.
The correct name of the AK-47 is AK-47. "Avtomat Kalashnikova 1947".
"AK" is an entire FAMILY of weapons including the AK-47, AKM, AK-74, AK-74M, AK-74N, AKS-74, AKS-74N AKS-74u, as well as the AK-100 and 200 series

I think the point they tried to make though is that the name "AK47" was not used by the Russian army though. The first version that was given a GRAU index by the Soviets (56-А-212, adopted in 1949) is simply titled AK (Автомат Калашникова)
fresh fulcrum
There's some videos on Kalashnikov's site that show off early trialled versions before 56-А-212 (AK), that are AK-46, AK-47 and AKS. You can see a few differences between them and the production AK rifles https://100.kalashnikov.media/item/ak-47/ it suggests that "AK-47" was a kind of backronym that was applied to the AK after later version like AKM and AK-74 were developed

Plan is to use it as a supplement for the SA80 platform in my own 2035-style British Armed Forces mod with various paintjobs as well as a GL version. Progress is pretty slow since I can't find any reliable guides on the Object Builder/CFG side of things.

Haven't yet, since this project is literal months old and I'm still re-learning things like proxies, memory, geometry and all that stuff.

Can someone (civilian) buy anti tank weapons

explosives in the US are regulated by the ATF as destructive devices and require the proper paperwork and tax stamps but can technically be acquired

Guys is AK47 an ''automatic'' rifle or an ''assualt'' rifle if there is any difference
glass jungle
the name means automatic rifle
technically it is an assault rifle since it uses intermediate cartridge and has a select fire capacity (semi-auto and automatic)

does anyone know how the PAPOP even reloads?

So its the avtomat kalashnikov 1947
I think that is a common misconception (not on whether AK is an assault rifle)
But about the name
Actually it is called Avtomat Kalashinikova
Yeah
Named afterv Kalashinikov's wife instead of himself
Yeah
Since in russian females have an a
After the surname
Very common misconception
Yes
I know Russian names
Im polish so i can kind of speak and write russian
But spelling is shit
Like i know how to say avtomat
But write is as automat
Since you say it that way
Are Polish and Russian the same? I think Ukrainian is similar to Russian
Polish doesn't use cyrlic
But some of our and Russian words sound similar
And there's the whole slavic languages thing that just simplifies shit
Uh I know
Interesting
So is Polish in Contact spoken by Livonians accurate
I think Livonia is more like Lithuania in real worls

So is Polish in Contact spoken by Livonians accurate
Never played contact but most likely
I heard some of the voice lines and i can perfectly understand them
And livonia itself looks european enough
Interesting
My language is in the game as well
And it is mostly accurate in terms of meaning
Are Polish speakers good at English?
No,i mean we implemented some shit into our language
But probably forgot the meanings
Lockdown etc
I am just asking
I once talked to a Polish boy and seems like his English was decent

Named afterv Kalashinikov's wife instead of himself
I've never heard about it, and it doesn't seem right from the grammatical point of view. It has been about ten years since I last spoke russian, but 'kalashnikova' in AK is genitive case of 'kalashnikov'. IF it was referring to his wife it wouldn't be 'kalashnikova' which is nominative case when referring to female. I think it would be something like... avtomat kalashnikovoy? Oh boy, I forgot most of russian grammar it seems 😄

I will check that out again
The AK-47, officially known as the Avtomat Kalashnikova (Russian: Автома́т Кала́шникова, lit. 'Kalashnikov's automatic rifle'
Okay so you are right👍
Yeah sorry I was not an expert in Russian language

What's the most dangerous weapon can be bought by civilian
empty marsh
Generally Fertiliser (ammonium nitrate) and diesel in most countries, mostly some form of explosives, however some places tanks can be bought with deactivated weaponry, only thing there is to replace it
Always depends on what country and if you go the legal or illegal route
Also, depends on what you mean by dangerous weapon (use and all that)
As they all serve a specific role
glass jungle
the greatest weapon is knowledge but I guess you won't take that as an answer haha, as the lone_archer said, you can divert common supplies to weaponize them, IED in Afghanistan were reportedly made with the UN supplied Fertilizer as a matter of fact

Yea i assumed he wouldn’t take knowledge as an answer

What's the most dangerous weapon can be bought by civilian
According to some it's the AR-15
And those people also believe it's a semi-fully automatic
Imagine of firearms ramped like paintball guns
empty marsh
yeah no that does not even make the list
fresh panther
Like. You can buy deweaponized F16s
And made for civilian use (read: all the expensive classified radios, guidance and radar). I'm sure civilian grade radios and navigation would have to be installed
Hell you could buy a c130. That's a lot of bags of ammonium nitrate

even less chonky than a BMP, a BMD

still, maintenance of a tank. Need garage and a crane or at the very least forklift (if you have a knack for dodgy lifting of heavy objects), if you want to keep it running.
