Interesting idea, but those seem like a kaboom waiting to happen.

[QUOTE=asteroidrules;45815002]Interesting idea, but those seem like a kaboom waiting to happen.[/QUOTE] Widely fielded and pretty effective, so I'd assume not. Germans had four AT guns based on it, Brits had the Littlejohn, Americans tried out a variation of the Littlejohn for 37mm but it didn't work, the muzzle attachment got shot off, no guns exploding.

[Img]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/a/a0/PAW600_8cm_1.jpg[/img] Here's a interesting German AT gun, the 8 cm Panzerabwehrwerfer(PAW) 600. It used shaped charge ammunition that was based on the 8cm mortar shells to simplify manufacture and reduce cost. The PAW 600 was also smoothbore and had the penetration of 140mm armor, witch was comparable to the PAK 40's PzGr40 rounds while being lighter and cheaper to build. Only 260 PAW 600 were completed by the end of war and never saw combat. [URL="Wikipedia link"]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/8_cm_PAW_600[/URL]

I don't think it's that weird an idea, there's certainly precedent for it.

Not sure if anyone has seen this thing-ma-jig yet [t]http://truthaboutguns-zippykid.netdna-ssl.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/P1020765-900x600.jpg[/t][t]http://truthaboutguns-zippykid.netdna-ssl.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/P1020772-900x600.jpg[/t] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AvEb4PzSfx0[/media]

I always thought of a Nazi "Last-Ditch" anti-tank platform basically being a Panzer II, but it's top modified to mount 5 to 8 Panzerfaust rocket launchers. Basically, the "AT-Tank" would scoot up to Russian armour, bark off the rockets and run away, hopefully stunning them for a short period of time. Maybe punch a hole here and there, or bust a track. It'd be more of a 'suppression' weapon....for tanks.

Guess who's back with some future stuff. I checked out Destiny's designs and I gotta say I was a bit disappointed. Lots of bullpups and boring samey rifles.

I fucking love the Aug HBAR. I don't know why, I'm not even really a gun sort of person. [IMG]http://i1277.photobucket.com/albums/y485/Kane_Packman/aughbar_zps61ad0e93.jpg[/IMG]

That is an AUG A2 with a bipod, just incase you were curious. Edit: If you are wondering why I explained what it was called, it's because before he didn't know what it was.

Honestly, the whole [url=https://homemadeguns.wordpress.com/]Impro Gun Blog[/url] is pretty awesome. Really gives a bit of insight into how designs progress from neighborhood to neighborhood or region to region. Not to mention just how well-thought out some of the weapon designs are.
