Something about Counter-Strike, Splinter Cell, and Resident Evil's 4 "Punisher" pistol made me fall in love with such a neat weapon. The 5-7.

Wow that things got a really clever fire selector

It looks pretty awesome and the 20rnd mag is nothing to laugh about. Ammo is too expensive though. But it's the closest thing to a real life .223 pistol that doesn't look like a pile of shit. More of a fan of larger calibers, such as 9mm and .45, they have more wounding potential than the 5.7x28 does.

Not to say it can't be in a videogame, you'd just have to balance the videogame around it. I could imagine something of this sort being incredibly fun in a zombie shmup.

MP games, pretty much out of question. You'd either have to nerf it so it's lame to use or have it decent but not fun to play against.[/QUOTE]

TF2's shotgun makes a good sidearm in my opinion, it is not too powerful to trump the actual primaries. but it is not too weak either to be useless peashooter. The thing is also pretty versatile considering it is given to 4 classes, 3 of which can put it to some good use in a lot of ways.

He was just saying it would be be a lot more powerful if it had one of those speed loaders, thus taking away the weapon's very long reload time. As is it's a decent secondary weapon for the classes that have it.

Kinda neat...but what's with the full bakerlite shell around the receiver? I'm assuming there's some steel in there? As much as I love the look of bakrlite - it really dosn't look like it wears well as a an entire receiver.

The fire selector is pretty damn neat though - even if the whole weapon just isn't to my tastes.

Not sure if I shared this a while ago in this thread or not - but there's a neat video delving into the alluring Russian pulley gun:

There's something I simply love about the 94's asymmetrical design. It's like a sleek, black, Russian dolphin. With a wonky flipper. That shoots bullets. Real fast.

If neat! were still here he'd have a shitfit.

Also for future reference it's bakelite.

Thanks, I'm well aware it's spelt that way, my mind just hasn't seen sleep for nearly sevety hours now, so I'm missing a few keys.

Have a delicious pic:

A sidearm that is able to chamber borderline rifle ammunition in my opinion is pretty impressive. Muzzle velocity may be a bit on the lower side, but having an officer or a soldier able to constantly put out rifle rounds even without a rifle is pretty impressive.

[QUOTE=Riller;44911843]Still better than a katana.[/QUOTE]

Oh jeez people still go on about this? Katana's were the best they could do with the shit steel, it's not comparable to Western swords at all due a completely different fighting culture(also honourubru).
It's the same with shields and armour. Japanese soldiers barely ever used shields, they only did before real armour was introduced. Once actual armour was introduced, they only used stationary shields for their archers, but those eventually lost their purpose too, because of armour. Not because the archers were armoured, but because their opponents were. Japanese bows didn't have a strong pull, or whatever the technical term is, so it lost it's effectiveness against anyone with armour after 10 meters.
Another great example of Japanese "shields" is their old armour:

Those big ridiculous shoulderpieces? They're shields to defend against arrows and other missiles. I much prefer the look of this style of armour over the Western style, but that's because it just looks like it was made specifically for someone like a king.

Back to actual weapons, not armour. Katana's weren't used for fighting wars. That's what Naginata's and Yari's are for.

Comparing a Katana to a Western sword is like comparing a hammer to your hand when cracking an egg. Technically they both work, one's just not as good, because it's not intended for such things.

I always got the impression that katana's weren't bad swords per say. They were servicable cutting things, that were mostly reserved for cutting either unarmed peasants - or in last ditch situations where you were suddenly attacked by assassins or ninja's or something.

Then over the decades, the Japanese did what any relativey isolated society tends to, institutionalized the thing as a combination of status symbol, and spiritualistic icon of martial perfection - despite its relatively rudimentary construction, and limited utility - an attitude which has somehow pervaded to the present day. The way some people talk of Japanese swordsmanship, you'd think they'd grown up fearing the awesome power of bushi themselves.

Then again, weapons of all shapes and sizes throughout history seem to have had a similar effect. In many ways Mr Kalashinakov's designs have dictated and in some ways, restricted eastern bloc arms designs for decades, and the armalites have done the same in the US. Look at how many new designs for even things like shotguns come out with m16 style pistol grips, trigger guards, and lower receivers - that are functionally unessacary, simply because it's what the American market is comfortable with.

I guess what I'm saying is, as tools - tools that can mean the difference between life and death - weapons always seem to be firmly entrenched in idealism and romanticizing. Sometimes I have to remind myself that FAL's can't defeat DU plating, and stop a man at 1000m. That they're just peices of machinery that were designed and made by humans, and have inherent drawbacks and flaws.

Even if they look gorgeous.

Have you by chance played Sleeping Dogs? No bayonets but by my understanding the assault rifle is supposed to be a bullpup G36.

I can't help but wonder if that knife is incentive to not limp-wrist it.

Resist the recoil or get your arm cut.
