You have to see this guy, shoots off six shots reloads and fires off six more in 2.99 seconds

 

shots are just about 55 seconds in

It's an AR manufactured by H&K. I don't think there's a whole lot of difference aside from the gas systems, one using a gas piston and the other direct impingement. I hear piston ARs are more reliable, but I really don't know by how much.

Its actually a much better weapon than the standard M4 carbine. H&K's goal was to design a M4 with the reliability of the AK and they nailed it. There are some great clips you can probably find on YouTube about it.

I'm preparing myself for a national vintage military rifle championship, just made 20 match grade rounds for my old Swiss girl. 
Rules: Unmodified original rifle with a max year of manufacture of 1945. 100 meters, iron sights of course, with front but no rear support for the rifle.
But this championship is just the harbinger of a yet much bigger championship later this year. 
 
Anyway, here is my setup. A swiss Gewehr 1911 made in approx 1914-1917 with hand loaded 7.5x55 rounds, thats a 170 grains SMK at 2700 fps / 820 m/s. Quite powerful. 
A very old yet very good rifle that is absolutely capable of winning me the championship if I do my part. Oh, and its a straight-pull action. 
 
 


Here is Hickok45 playing with a Swiss K11, a shorter version of my rifle.

AK reliability? I don't know if I'd go that far...

 

Get back to me when the 416 passes the ham sandwich test.

[Serza]

Yeah, where do you stick a sandwich in a 416 without sticking it in the barrel?

[Lunch Box1912]

That's a waste of a good sandwhich I say. Haven't people lost fingers that way?

[Lunch Box1912]

Okay so buying the Ruger 10/22 with wood stock today. anyone have scope they recomend?

Heckler[edited] & Koch was a real Boss in weapon manufacturing.

 

I searched and found out many great guns are made by them:

which I only know these enough:

G3

MP5 & MP7

UMP

I think the MP5 alone was enough to assure their reputation as being legendary.

 

It's not just the more widely-known weapons that get my attention but some of the experimental stuff they did, such as the P7 pistol: that was an odd beast and quite controversial in terms of its user-friendliness, but I don't think anyone could say it wasn't an interesting idea.

 

For a long time their big thing was the roller-delayed locking system.  From a purely technical perspective, that's something I've never been able to feel anything other than ambivalent about: it seems to have worked well (I think I read something about it being problematic once it gets sufficiently worn, but the same could apply to anything mechanical) but delayed blowback has such a troubled history, even if this one did actually work properly...

 

Er anyway, that aside, they've always come across as one of the leading names in innovative design and high quality production.  Not a reputation that's easily earned.

Well here she is, just got her home.

I never really liked the roller delayed blow back action either, until I learned that the MG42 used that system. And the MG42 is ace.

Very nice, you won't regret choosing the Ruger.

[Lunch Box1912]

Thanks. Going over the gun with the manual now. Hopefully I can get her to the range in the morning.

[Cknarf]

I need this.

Bah, too many piddly little hand-held guns over the last few pages....

Spoiler

Wiki sez: The Chrysler TV-8 was an experimental concept tank designed by Chrysler in the 1950s. The tank was intended to be a nuclear-powered medium tank capable of land and amphibious warfare. The design was never mass-produced.

lol Germans actually made it?!

 

It's indeed good for shooting down Imperial Destroyers!

Aye, two such weapon platforms were built, the Schwerer Gustav and Dora, positively humongous railway artillery that show 80cm (yes, CM) shells. That's the largest calibre ever fired in combat (by Gustav during the Siege of Sevastopol in 1942).

Off the top of my head, there were a couple of mortars with higher calibre, though, as you say, Gustav was the biggest to throw shells in anger.

 

Speaking of oversized artillery, this one can't quite match the calibre, but I think the M65 hits a little harder....

How much would ammo cost for a day down the range you think?

[Fidite Nemini]

You mean how much the many ranges for a day would cost. No single range will take more than one of those shells.

 

This is the kind of sucker we're talking about:
