Christopher R Taylor Posted November 11, 2020 Report Share Posted November 11, 2020 The revolving colt shotgun was fearsome but had some serious flaws. For one thing there was no spark guard so the discharge would tend to cook your hand holding the barrel up. It was so complicated to reload that "out of combat" is an understatement. They show up once in a while in Louis L'Amour's books as a crowd stopper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christopher R Taylor Posted May 21, 2021 Report Share Posted May 21, 2021 Volcanic Arms made a lever action pistol, but it wasn't popular at all. They went on to become Winchester and the rest is history. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cancer Posted July 2, 2021 Report Share Posted July 2, 2021 .50 caliber air rifle Makes the cooling issue for a space infantry armament (see discussion bakc in Oct 2016 of this thread somewhere) much less of a problem.

Scott Ruggels Posted July 11, 2021 Report Share Posted July 11, 2021 As much as I like the Desert Tech MDR, as Military Bullpups go., ones that have passed military trials are few, such as the French FAMAS that left official French service in 2016, The Steyr AUG and it's Australian variant, and the Israeli Tavor. One that fared well in French trials, but was ultimately rejected in favor of the SiG 416 (a variant of the AR platform with Swiss precision), was the Croatian VHS Bullpup. This rifle is modular, Ambidextrous, and can be switched easily between right, and left handed use without tools, and a few minutes of adjusting. Apparently the Croats are using them as their adopted rifle, but they are offering it as military solution (including a modular 40mm Grenade launcher). Bullpups, due to their short length are idea for confined interior spaces, vehicle crews, or ship/ space ship interiors. Note that with a bolt , barrel, and magazine well change, which is possible with this weapon, that callibers can be changed to probably any of the currently available intermediate cartridges. pinecone 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Ruggels Posted July 14, 2021 Report Share Posted July 14, 2021 Speaking of bull pups, a new contender for the M-16/ M-4 replacement, in the Army’s new 6.8mm is on trials. However the rifle is using a plastic cased ammunition that it backwards compatible eith the 6.8mm brasses caded standard ammunition.

The same with Israeli weapons. They used to say that you could pour a bottle of maple syrup into the breach of an uzi and it wouldn’t jam.
