megaplayboy Posted November 23, 2011 Report Share Posted November 23, 2011 Re: Cool Guns for your Games The Firearm Blog linked to a video of a full-auto Glock being fired. One of the comments from the thread was' date=' "If I'm ever shot at, I want it to be with that." It made an AK look like a benchrest target rifle with match ammo.[/quote'] The weight is not on the barrel itself, and is instead in the back of the gun, which may actually(I'm not an expert by any means) tend to make the weapon even more difficult to control(the weight may subtly tug down on your lower hand, thus helping to angle the gun upward when you fire it). If you put a significant weight under the front of the barrel, and maybe extended the barrel a bit, that might help improve accuracy.

megaplayboy Posted November 23, 2011 Report Share Posted November 23, 2011 Re: Cool Guns for your Games Hmm. Are there any full-auto pistols with semi-decent accuracy and controllability? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gewing Posted November 24, 2011 Report Share Posted November 24, 2011 Re: Cool Guns for your Games I took my Webley to the range today. Fired off 36 of my hand loads. First time for me to be reloading any ammo. I have to wait for payday before I pick up the primers and Bullets to load for my .45. Enjoy the process, and the shooting!

Wolf Posted November 27, 2011 Report Share Posted November 27, 2011 Re: Cool Guns for your Games http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M2QaE1p3k08 (haven't watched the video yet, but I wonder if he knows that he's got the dust cover closed still on that aimpoint? at at least one point during he's got it closed, but it's in a demonstration room. Also, he seems to be going for a safety many times, and the weird thing is, I can hear it "click"... however the 249 doesn't have a safety selector, the only time it's "safe" is when you haven't loaded it. Lastly, I thought they removed the "magazine" well on the newer ones because it rarely worked well at all (this I can attest to). But cool video none the less.

DusterBoy Posted November 27, 2011 Report Share Posted November 27, 2011 Re: Cool Guns for your Games Regarding the whole magazine thing with the Minimi/M249, can someone tell me the point of having an MG with a built-in 30 round stoppage? Now me, I've always preferred the Ultimax 100 Mk3 from ST Kinetics (fka CIS). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted November 27, 2011 Report Share Posted November 27, 2011 Re: Cool Guns for your Games Regarding the whole magazine thing with the Minimi/M249' date=' can someone tell me the point of having an MG with a [i']built-in 30 round stoppage[/i]? iirc, it was supposed to allow the guy with the MG to keep shooting if the unit ran out of linked ammo. You could load the standard rifle mags and stay in business. (From Wolf's post, it apparently didn't work so well -- though, also iirc, the 5.56mm rounds used for the M-16 weren't as hot as the rounds intended for the M-249. The 249 was supposed to have an adjustable gas port though, presumably to allow for this detail, which the 16 lacked. Naturally, the ammo wasn't completely interchangeable between weapons) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Man Posted November 28, 2011 Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 Re: Cool Guns for your Games Now me, I've always preferred the Ultimax 100 Mk3 from ST Kinetics (fka CIS). Yes! I was very sad when the Marines didn't go with this for their IAD competition. Although to be honest the constant recoil seems to make the gun too controllable, and it would be worthwhile to apply it to a heavier caliber weapon.

megaplayboy Posted November 28, 2011 Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 Re: Cool Guns for your Games It'd be interesting to see a modernized 21st century version of a BAR, chambered in .30-06 or even a more powerful cartridge(.338, .375 or .416), with recoil compensators, a helical or drum barrel, computerized targeting and perhaps an under-barrel grenade launcher(or even a one-shot AT rocket). Basically the ultimate heavy one-man squad support weapon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Man Posted November 29, 2011 Report Share Posted November 29, 2011 Re: Cool Guns for your Games I think the ammunition is too expensive to use in a belt fed weapon. And you wouldn't gain much by doing so in any case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
