Coolest/Ugliest Weapons V5 - Bullpup AKs are the best - General

I think a lot of things he shows look flimsy and kinda rushed. But who am I to say such things? I ain't no blacksmith.. Have a BAR. [t]http://25.media.tumblr.com/33e2692a24f2d1cc34753ae4b4ba3001/tumblr_n1xjushUzx1sr1lf3o1_400.jpg[/t]

[QUOTE=Timebomb575;44145328]you can really just stop there the M60 wasnt very good at all and wasn't particularly well liked by the people that used it the E3s/4s/whatevers though aren't bad[/QUOTE] It's really not surprising that the people who think the M60 is great have never had to lug one, let alone strip and clean it. A weapon where you can easily accidentally install the gas piston backwards and produce a bolt-action MG, and can't change the barrel without an asbestos glove, is a design that needs work. The original M60 is a cool gun, it looks awesome in movies, but in real life it's always been a jam-tastic, overly heavy POS with a stupidly awkward barrel change system. The more modern variants did a hell of a lot to improve the design.

The gun works just fine if it is properly maintained, not so much when it isn't; training is required on any weapon system as well as practice, so the barrel swap and disassembly/reassembly would become a non-issue. Weight has never been a GMPG's friend, as even modern GMPGs (M240B, M60E6, MG3, MG5/HK121) weigh around 20+lbs. and that isn't counting the spare barrel(s) and ammo load, plus your standard kit.

Here's another weird AR lower: [img]http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/558x326xZel-complete-lower.jpg.pagespeed.ic.OC45KjwCqX.jpg[/img] Notice something missing?

[img]http://i199.photobucket.com/albums/aa219/faldoc/Ares%20Shrike/IMG_3707.jpg[/img] But since it doesn't have the magwell then even if it does fit standard uppers it won't exactly work on uppers that are supposed to feed from that magwell.

[editline]8th March 2014[/editline] Or wait.. it's not fully auto right? Idk.

Fireselector says Safe and Semi, so nope, no auto.

don't semi only lowers usually say fire at middle position and not semi there's plenty of videos on youtube of FA shrikes anyway [editline]8th March 2014[/editline] how can you even tell that that lower isn't auto given that the selector is blocking the last marking [editline]8th March 2014[/editline] also it's got the select fire 3rd pin above the selector

[QUOTE=Binladen34;44169285]Fireselector says Safe and Semi, so nope, no auto.[/QUOTE] The selector switch thumb-nub is covering up auto, cutiepie <3

o I dont own an AR so I didn't know

Either way I'm wondering would you fire that belt-fed AR as semi or fully auto? And would it even work as fully auto without possibly jamming up, or w/e? The set-up looks kinda fragile for some full-auto action.. But as a semi-auto it sure looks rad, and probably shoots very nicely!

That looks like fun

Most belt-fed guns don't like being fired one round at a time, but most of those are F/A only, open bolt designs. I wonder if you could run this effectively with a bump-fire stock.

Not the same upper, but Slide Fire Solutions came up with these belt-fed AR-15s built out of Colt 6920s [img]http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/SlideFire-BFR-660x440.jpg[/img] They have to cut some holes in the receiver to make it work with belts, but it actually can still fire from STANAG [img]http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/SlideFire-BFR-3.jpg[/img] They come with slide-fire stocks and their copy of AB Arms' handguards, and they do appear to work. [editline]8th March 2014[/editline] Personally though I'd rather a dedicated belt-fed upper than a chopped up standard one, especially since those don't require cutting into your lower. But either way belt-fed slide fire does appear to be possible.

certain shrikes can feed from belts and stanags too

Prefer the Shrike, don't have to chop up an AR to use it.

[QUOTE=the_killer24;44173841]certain shrikes can feed from belts and stanags too[/QUOTE] Most of them can actually, it's just that Ares offers them with a lower that lacks a magwell (it lets the belt box be held closer to the upper, reducing overall size), all Shrike uppers can feed from a magazine, you just need a lower with a magwell, some actually don't even have the belt-feeding component [img]http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-a2utWiPtNsU/UXqXCGxxf8I/AAAAAAAAAyI/SYb2Z4d5VOQ/s1600/1297427124.jpg[/img] Theoretically you could also use a modular lower and have it feed from a 5.56 AK magazine.

Watching Wild West Alaska, dude made a .500 Nitro rifle and fired it, goofed up his knuckle and dislocated his shoulder, it was hilarious.

Guys I was thinking. Has anyone ever made a beltfed, 12 gauge AR-15 or other kind of AR?
