DusterBoy Posted August 9, 2009 Report Share Posted August 9, 2009 Re: Cool Guns for your Games ... Oi! That's swedish! Actually, it's the G36K mated to the XM8 stock, so it's German. The XM8 Compact, sans magazine and with the collapsing stock looks like a laser rifle. But that could just be me being sad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolf Posted August 9, 2009 Report Share Posted August 9, 2009 Re: Cool Guns for your Games Though I love all things German, and most German weapons, I always have had a problem with the selector switch on most H&K longarms/SMG's. My stupid thumbs are just too short to switch it while keeping my fingermesh with the trigger. As for the colt/Knights Armory/Bushmaster M series weapons, maybe it's the amount of training I've had with the weapon, but it's so much more comfortable to me.

No, I just think it is a more practical design overall. I think anthony williams has test fired it. lucky skunk! Writing books and Editing for Jane's has allowed him to fire some fun stuff. One of the ones I most envy him for is the Enfield EM-2 bullpup rifle. His books are superb. His website is http://www.quarry.nildram.co.uk/ very useful data tables, good articles, a fun and very informative discussion forum...

andrewmoquin Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 Re: Cool Guns for your Games I was going to make a big post with lots of pictures, but decided that it was a huge pain in the butt to find all that stuff. So I yoinked a couple and I'll put them here, expecting others to do the same. Criteria for this is that the gun is a bit different. Anyone can go and look up the military weapons of various eras that have been in use for some time. I'd like to see some of the different ones, though it doesn't have to be crazy. So, for my entry, I present two iterations of the S&W .500 Magnum X-Frame revolver. One is a full-on snubby, and one is a 4" barreled snubby. This is basically a big bore old-school style round for a revolver that really belongs in some over-built lever or dual barrel rifle. =) The other is an AK-47 altered by Kreb's Customs that takes the modular benefits of the M-16/M-4/AR-15 family of rifles and adapts them to the reliable mechanisms of an AK-47 style rifle. Very yummy! And finally, the revolver from Hellboy, cuz its just cool. =) If you can't tell, I have a thing for revolvers... I'd buy the 4" S&W just for giggles, even if my wrist aches just thinking about shooting it. I love these guns. These were really cool mate! Thanks for these.

gewing Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 Re: Cool Guns for your Games Why mess with perfection? Not perfection. Perfection, however, is the enemy of good enough. Now they are finally starting to convert US ones to the quick change barrel version. IMO they should have fielded the Dover Devil gun 30+ years ago. LIghter, quick change barrel, and dual ammunition feed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remjin Posted September 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 Re: Cool Guns for your Games 4-gauge? Are you thinking of the Russian TSNII TochMash KS-23 "Special Carbine"? It uses a modified 23mm cannon barrel and is' date=' from reports, hell to shoot. I think I'll stick to the 12-gauges. At least when handled properly they won't break my shoulder. [/quote'] No idea, just heard there was a 4 gauge somewhere. It doesn't sound like anything I'd want to shoot regularly, but I'd like to try it at least once. =) From the stats I've heard on a 10 gauge, it sounds more my cup of tea.

Remjin Posted September 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 Re: Cool Guns for your Games On the issue of 12 gauges' date=' don't forget the reduced-recoil shells. Even out of an 18" pumpgun w/ a folding stock, they are a quite a bit more comfortable to shoot than full loads, at least in regards to "00" and slug, in my personal experience. Makes for quicker follow-up shots too. Can't speak for other loads.[/quote'] I have these in my home defense shotgun. Patterns better and I don't need that much juice in a home the size that I own. Lessens overpenetration, too, though not by much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They resembled crew served weapons or light mortars more than shoulder arms. They were used to bring down flocks of geese and as I recall had a bore around 2" in diameter.

megaplayboy Posted September 11, 2009 Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 Re: Cool Guns for your Games It's the KS-23, which is based off a rebored surplus anti-aircraft cannon barrel. Technically, in the US it'd be a 6 gauge, but in Europe is rated as a 4 gauge weapon. Firing a slug, it can "kill" a car or truck engine out to about 100 meters.

megaplayboy Posted September 25, 2009 Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 Re: Cool Guns for your Games I'd love to know how many dozens of hours at the practice range are required to put shots from that monster on target, even at short distances. I have extremely limited range experience, but even just jumping from a 9mm to a .40 persuaded me that "the higher the caliber, the harder the targeting" is a solid general axiom for handguns.
