On another Star Wars note, have a Webley & Scott Flare Gun [IMG]http://www.imfdb.org/images/thumb/9/9f/WebleyNo1Mk1.jpg/450px-WebleyNo1Mk1.jpg[/IMG] Look familiar? [img]http://www.disneycastmagic.com/misc/CaliforniaScienceCenter/csc07-starwars-blastechEE3-13.jpg[/img] like at least 90% of the blasters in the original trilogy are built off of WW2 era firearms

As well as an AR-15 or two [img]http://www.imfdb.org/images/c/c1/A280_blaster_rifle.jpg[/img]

isnt the basic stormtrooper one built out of some ww2 machine gun? i dont remember what it was called but they didn't even change anything on it

i meant this one actually [img]http://www.imfdb.org/images/thumb/0/09/SWSTBR.jpg/600px-SWSTBR.jpg[/img] but it looks like it was modified a little more than i remember it

That was built out of a Lewis Gun [IMG]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/1e/Lewis_Gun.jpg/300px-Lewis_Gun.jpg[/IMG] and here's the finished product [IMG]http://static2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20060725174361/starwars/images/3/3d/Light-Repeater_negwt.jpg[/IMG]

And to contrast, here's a blaster from Phantom Menace [IMG]http://static2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20090902025756/starwars/images/d/d0/CR-23.jpg[/IMG] built out of the Calico M960 Pistol [img]http://www.imfdb.org/images/thumb/a/a9/Calico-M950A.jpg/350px-Calico-M950A.jpg[/img]

Lol what the hell [img]http://img.gawkerassets.com/img/19cqpk6gju6jsjpg/ku-xlarge.jpg[/img] [quote]The concept is solid and well established on Ruger 10/22 magazines: couple a whole bunch of them together at the floorplate and rotate the contraption when the mag runs dry. But FAB Defense took things a step further, gluing five 10-round magazines to a central spoke to create a New York-legal 50-round arrangement. Well, as near as we can tell NY legal... [/quote]

[IMG]http://military-vehicle-photos.com.s3.amazonaws.com/4660.jpg[/IMG] We got rid of the last of our Panard APC's last year, I never got to be in the AML 90 but I did a lot of work with the M3. I loved them, they reminded me of the APC's from hl2 plus they were a reminder of the Summer when we used to cruise around in them too and from the barracks and bank escorts. Our one had a tape cassette player installed so we could play really bad 80's pop music (We couldn't find many tapes). Those were the days. Here's a one as a gate guardian in the barracks: [IMG]https://scontent-a-lhr.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash2/t1/998691_600781166618930_1859511187_n.jpg[/IMG] (The tank beside it is a Comet) Better view: [IMG]https://scontent-a-lhr.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-prn2/1069335_600782133285500_586200880_n.jpg[/IMG]

[QUOTE=Pvt. Martin;43587745]Too bad it's more of a toothpick in actual combat.[/QUOTE] Late reply but I felt I had to add something. Being a 'toothpick' in actual combat is not necessarily a bad thing. We have the Estoc or 'Tuck' here, which is literally just a giant toothpick meant entirely for poking it into the gaps of armour. Like some rapiers, it has no cutting edge. [IMG]http://www.peterjohnsson.com/wp-content/gallery/german-16th-c-tuck/estoc04.png[/IMG] estoc/tuck is on the top The 1908 pattern Calvary sword, which was issued to the British army, and considered to be a highly effective weapon (despite it being introduced at a time when swords were deemed as obsolete on the battlefield) resembles that rapier don't you think? [IMG]http://www.militaryheritage.ie/images/collins_articles/1908-Brit-Cav-Sw-lg.jpg[/IMG] Sure that rapier you posted might not be the ideal sword you would want to use in a Renaissance era battlefield but it can still kill a man. Besides, your sword would most likely be a side-arm, something you would carry around all day in a battlefield but not something you would mainly fight with during the era where rapiers were popular. [QUOTE=catbarf;43588278]You might be surprised. Contrary to Hollywood, swords were almost always historically used as stabbing weapons rather than slashing. The main disadvantages of a Spanish rapier, which lacks the cutting edges, would be the reduced flexibility of needing to rely on stabbing in very close combat, and the cost of a well-made one. They weren't designed as battlefield weapons but they could serve in a pinch. In fact, infantry armed with light swords and bucklers persisted into the Renaissance as a component of the forlorn hope, acting as a flanking force to support the main blocks of pike-armed infantry.[/QUOTE] Well while the overuse of wide silly 'dramatic' cuts and spins is true in Modern Hollywood and video games, I wouldn't say outright that the thrust was almost preferred in swordsmanship. Sabers, tulwars, katanas, backswords, broadswords, arming swords, longswords, side-swords/rapiers, falchion, messers, daos and etc... are all suitable and sometimes, are exclusively made for the cut instead of the thrust. However going by surviving contemporary fencing and fight manuals, many of them stressed the importance of the cut as well as the thrust and sometimes, they focused more on the cut. Even George Silver, an English swordsman who absolutely hated the rapier, stressed the importance of the cut and the thrust in a fight and then commented about how usually in 'English tradition', the cut was almost predominately preferred and it was a bad line of thinking.

[QUOTE=Crash155;43606538]Well, it does, just as a design. There is one non-firing one model that Magpul has[/QUOTE] It's a toy, not a gun. On the Landstad 1900, reading up on it... That is Borderlands as [I]fuck[/I] in the way it works. Two-round cylinder; the magazine loads the bottom chamber, then the chamber flips up when it's cycled, ejecting the spent shell and letting the now empty chamber be loaded. Also, the magazine was half the grip.

Magpul actually produce an airsoft version but not a real steel one. I find that incredibly strange. Was the PDR too complicated or a really bad design for a real gun or something?

[QUOTE=FloaterTWO;43606584]Magpul actually produce an airsoft version but not a real steel one. I find that incredibly strange. Was the PDR too complicated or a really bad design for a real gun or something?[/QUOTE] Magpul designs accessories, not guns. They probably never though much about the deeper workings of the PDR, just that they wanted a teensy middle-ejecting bullpup.
