The Charlton rifle, a full-auto conversion of their old bolt action rifles meant to supplement Bren LMGs.[/QUOTE]
I know it's an Enfield conversion, but I cannot for the life of me spot any part of Enfield in it, save for the trigger and barrel.

It uses an SMLE reciever and bolt.
They milled the handle down and then built a caming device to it that forces the bolt to turn as the operating rod moves.

That's a Huot rifle, and it's a Ross rifle (the Canadian Lee-Enfield substitute) conversion, it also predates the Charlton by about one World War. Although I do think it looks better, much more polished and less industrial looking.
The Huot and the Charlton were pretty much the same idea, take a bunch of outdated rifles that you have too many of, and convert them into a low cost substitute for the machine guns you need.
I was never sure what exactly to think of the Farquhar-Hill rifle.
I mean it was clever, but I'm not exactly nuts on how it looks. It's not that ugly, just a bit odd.

It definitely looks odd, but I think it's a cool kind of odd

20mm is rather small, don't you think?
The Goalkeeper CIWS has a much better rate of Fuck you per minute. It's the same 30mm gun the A-10 Warthog uses.

Sadly the video doesn't have sound, but remember the A-10's BRRRR of doom.

It is a fucking spoiler, just because "of course it's blah blah blah" doesn't mean it fucking isn't.

I have the hots for that equilibirum muzzle device. Sure it's about as subtle as a dragon in a fireworks shop - but it just looks so cool.

This, combined with their "Don't scream" policy really paints a great picture of the nation.

I think they look like they're ready to take on a drunk American has-been and a Brazillian never-was who should've paid more attention in pilot school.

Isn't Brazil touching the equator? So it's never really "winter" there either - just slightly less warm?

Canadian made modification to the Type-97 rifle (export civilian version of China's derpy FAMAS wannabe), designed to allow for lower sight mounting.
