Stargate became so silly in later seasons.
[QUOTE=download;46413347]Stargate became so silly in later seasons.[/QUOTE]
They got too many cool toys to have on screen at once, the whole "explorers through the gate" theme wears off when we have dozens of operations on different planets, hyperspace capable ships, orbital defenses, massive amounts of advanced tech, and broke the back of the badguys essentially dominating the galaxy.
Ya it did get really silly at the last couple seasons, specially when they got rid of coln o'neal because he wanted less scream time
Atlantis was way better because the cool alien tech always sort of either didn't work or was too advanced to be used, and the earlier seasons when they were cut off still set the mood of the show
Should've used the carbine

[QUOTE][B]The Calisher and Terry breechloading bolt action carbine,[/B]
Produced between 1860 and 1870, the Calisher and Terry carbine was an invention of Henry Calisher and William Terry from Birmingham, England. Invented in 1856, the Calisher and Terry carbine was unique from most firearms of the day in the fact that it was a bolt action carbine. At a time when bolt actions were in their infancy, the Calisher and Terry used a unique action in which the bolt handle folded up to protect the breech and chamber from dust and debris. The ready the bolt handle, one pulled back on a small nub located behind the hammer. Rotating and pulling back on the bolt exposed the breech for loading. Invented long before the box magazine, the Calisher and Terry was single shot only and fired .58 caliber paper cartridges. It was a percussion firearm, meaning the user had to cock the hammer and place a percussion cap on the nipple. When the trigger was pulled, the hammer struck the cap which forced a spark into the chamber, thus igniting the cartridge. The cartridge was made from special highly combustible material which would easily ignite with a spark, and also prevented pieces of paper being left behind in the chamber after firing.
The British Army adopted the Calisher and Terry in 1860. Being a short carbine which was easy to load from horseback compared to period muzzleloader, the Calisher and Terry was an ideal weapon for cavalry forces. Originally it was exclusively used to arm the 18th Royal Hussars. Later, they were shipped to military and police forces in South Africa, Australia, and were especially known for being used by British forces in combat against the Maori in New Zealand. A number of others were sold to the Confederacy during the American Civil War. One noted user of the carbine was Confederate Gen. JEB Stuart. Confederate President Jefferson Davis was likewise a proud owner of a Calisher and Terry.
Production of the Calisher and Terry ended in 1870 when most militaries chose to adopt breechloading rifles which used metallic cartridges. Designed for paper cartridges, the Calisher and Terry could not be adapter to use metallic ammunition. Thus production ended in 1870, with 10,000 carbine being produced. Today they are a rare firearm which is highly sought by collectors.[/QUOTE]

modern pepperbox design
loooooooooooooooooooooooooool
Doesn't look very modern to me. Where am I supposed to mount my eotech and my AFG?
But really, it seems a little redundant to 'modernize' a design like that. Manufacture replicas of original designs, sure, that's cool from a historical standpoint, but it just seems as pointless as a 'modernized' musket or something.
But can I 360 no-scope ruffians and brigands with it?
It needs more rails!

It's a novelty gun. Like a 1911. Honestly, I'm sad they didn't 'modernize' it further. Fuckin' give it freefloated fluted barrels. Have a monolithic top-rail running the length of the top and bottom for sights to slap on. Give it an AR-15 grip so you can swap it to whatever MOE crap you wanna slap on it. Crank it to eleven, don't stop at six point five!

Really that is a good design, except for the fact that the entire handguard and barrel recoil as part of the action.
[video=youtube;xnY6FSLFy3c]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xnY6FSLFy3c[/video]
Well that was, that.
Also, just repeating, as much as I dislike requests, anyone got pis of some nice kitted out AR-15s?
[QUOTE=cdr248;46411020]Are you supposed to hold that like a rifle? I can't imagine just holding it up by the grip.[/QUOTE]
With that rail system, i imagine that you could add a foregrip to the weapon.
[QUOTE=kaine123;46418117]Really that is a good design, except for the fact that the entire handguard and barrel recoil as part of the action.[/QUOTE]
also its a riffle that fires a pistol round, in the age of large bolt-action cartridges

What about converting a C96 carbine to full auto with the detachable magazine? Like an M712 carbine?
[QUOTE=KINGSTAR998;46422302]What about converting a C96 carbine to full auto with the detachable magazine? Like an M712 carbine?[/QUOTE]
You probably could, use the frame from a M712, but the grips and barrel assembly from the C96 carbine, if those are compatible anyway, which I think they should be. You'd just need to get both of them first.
I love those things

[QUOTE=asteroidrules;46426494]I see the Type 89 is another rifle that the ACR stock looks nice on.[/QUOTE]
It's an AR-18 that looks like an FN FNC, which already looks good with the ACR stock.
