Coolest/Ugliest Weapons V5 - Bullpup AKs are the best

[Ricaaado]

[QUOTE=asteroidrules;45900846]The Chinese did build some of those pistols in .45 auto, called it the Type-17. They're not an easy find now, but it proved the design could be upscaled to it.
Also, for a stock, do you mean you want one mounted on the pistol grip like on the originals, one mounted above the pistol grip like on weapons actually designed to have a pistol grip and stock, or just a rifle grip?[/QUOTE]

One that could be attached to the grip would make more sense.

This is page Pi. Pi is related to circles, which are round. Melons are round. You can chop melons with blades.

So have Terry Pratchett's sword (which he made himself out of iron and motherfucking meteorite):

Okay I'm working on a model of one now. Used the RO2 Broomhandle as a base, already set up a reasonable approximation of the grip, found a good set of sights, and made the stock out of one from a certain machine pistol, what's hanging me up is that barrel jacket, I can't really find anything that looks like it and I'm useless working from scratch, anyone have any suggestions for parts that might look close enough for me to tweak them to fit?
And here, have a reproduction of the Wz.38M since we're in the first week of the 75 year anniversary of the German invasion of Poland.

This was going to be Poland's semi-automatic rifle of the war, it was a gas operated rifle firing 8mm Mauser from a 10 round magazine. Only about 150 of these rifles were originally built, it's believed that no more than 10 of them survive to this day, and there's little to no documentation of them actually being used.

Sort of reminds me of the VG-2, one of the last ditch rifles the Germans made during WW2.

Really it's kind of odd that the Wz.38M didn't see more production or usage, Germany had a habit of using weapons from occupied territories and opposing countries, even continuing local production of them in the former case, and considering that this particular rifle was available three years before Germany would even begin its foray into automatic infantry rifles (and even longer before they got it right), with the added bonus of being compatible with standard ammunition, it would've made a lot of sense to press them into service. Although perhaps move production to Germany considering how devoted and organized the Polish guerrillas were.

hitler had a suicidal hard-on for bolt actions even as his generals all wanted them to build more automatics, he forced them to make bolt actions but the generals saw the point of automatic battle riffles and put them in production anyways

Hitler had a fear of drilling a hole in the barrel for the gas port, afraid it'd fuck up reliability or accuracy. That's why the first semi-autos out of Germany had some silly-ass designs with a Vickers-style gas trap at the muzzle and shit like that.

The US ARMY just came up with and adopted a multicam clone to avoid paying the royalties to Crye Precision, so we'll probably see that in five years.

The Australian Army just adopted a multicam clone in DPCU colours.

It was also a pretty easy thing to sabotage. Don't/partially bore the gas port and put the gas block on before anyone notices. As long as that particular gun doesn't get test fired, nobody will know that their 'automatic rifle' is actually straight pull bolt-action until they're on the front. This is also why it's generally advisable to have your guns be built by people who don't want you dead.
Germany was also fond of recoil and blowback actions, they were used in machine guns and some last ditch designs for cost reasons. Memory serving a roller delayed Gerat-06H cost about half what a gas operated StG-44 did.

Funny you mention it, one of many of Hitler's requirements for his semi-automatic service rifle competition was that the rifle should be able to reliably be switched to and function fast and well as a bolt action.

If any of you are interested in learning how a Sten works... :v:
[url=http://www.mediafire.com/view/5v4852yage8d8c5]The DIY Sten Gun - PDF[/url]

[asteroidrules]

The Sten's really not a difficult action to figure out. Fixed firing pin, open bolt only, trigger is a bolt-catch, cocking handle is a knob stuck into the bolt, bolt is held in the closed position entirely by spring tension and inertia. From a mechanical standpoint it's about as simplistic as a multi-shot firearm can get.

[Joey Skylynx]

True, but learning the whole DIY process for how to build these things is pretty interesting/fun.

It's considerably a step above manufacturing basic gun powder, but it's practical enough to manufacture in such a way where shipping it wouldn't exactly be a piss off.

sept the whole "make gun cotton" part which is rather dangerous

[editline]7th September 2014[/editline]

by rather dangerous, a quick google search pulls up 5 entrys that all say "with equal parts of the strongest nitric and sulfuric acid you can find"

Handling strong acid is dangerous and a lot can go wrong very quickly, especially when mixing acids, and none of these guides actually have any tips on how to safely mix them
