[QUOTE=kaze4159;51145528]IIRC 'Luty' just refers to that specific design, popular for having freely published plans floating around, which the author got reamed in prison for[/QUOTE]
It's hardly 'a specific design', though. It's a tube or box SMG. They existed before Luty, and sure as hell have been made since without referring to Luty's designs, because they are quite simply the most simple way of making a functional SMG.
[QUOTE=PrusseLusken;51145517]FAL and StG-44 is a more fair comparison, man. Both have tilting bolts while the FAMAS has a lever delayed action.[/QUOTE]
Sort of my point, I exaggerated some differences to make it painfully clear that they are widely different developments within the same class of weapons.
[QUOTE=Riller;51145481]Right, so what exactly puts the 'luty' apart from literally every other sort of tube- or sheet-metal SMG ever? Why specify every home-made tube-SMG as a 'luty'? It seems so broad and non-connected that you can compare it to calling the Famas a 'variant of the StG-44'.[/QUOTE]
Luty because the design is based on the BSP on Luty's site..?
[URL="http://thehomegunsmith.com/furtherreading.shtml"]It's his improved design from his basic box design.[/URL]. The difference between it and the one posted is the fact that the magazine-well is pushed forward quiet a bit on the Australian one.
For example:
This is his first design which he got jailed for...

And the one I posted above is the improved design which cuts out a significant amount of weight from the first design.

But [I]is it, though?[/I] Or is it just a box-SMG like literally any other box SMG? Luty designed a very basic box-SMG and made plans available, but box-SMG's were already existing and available. It just seems like the name has gotten tied to an already-existing and very non-unique design for no particular reason. If I break a branch off of a tree and post on the web the steps I took to do so, that doesn't make every other stick in the world into the 'Riller combat club'. It's still just a branch you can hit people with.
You can identify other machine pistols by their design and look though.

One of the left is a standard box and the one on the right is known as the Blimp
[t]http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/homebuiltwoodstockpistol2-improguns.jpg[/t]
All though this doesn't have a name, it's a fairly common gun built by the cartels, namely MS13.
[t]http://www.tacticalinc.com/images/P1011623.jpg[/t]
This is the Holmes.
All of those guns are different in cosmetic appeal. They may not have different actions, maybe they do, but they are still designs by their creators that share very similar looks. It's sorta like how designs fielded in the Chechen Wars were called the Borz because of their geographic location
[t]https://homemadeguns.files.wordpress.com/2014/10/chechensmgs-improguns.jpg[/t]
Yet look nothing a like.
For the most part, it's a matter of what people name them, and why they name them that. The Luty(BSP1 and BSP2), are known as the Luty Machine Pistol, because of the author and his story. Even if they are simply box mags, with open bolts, they still are unique to their author because of the story built on his legacy.
I thought Luty referred to any homemade SMG.
Nah, Luty refers to the most generic, baseline design that is literally everyone's go-to design for babby's first SMG and not in any way unique to Mr. Luty or his book, but somehow still got his name.

Humvee with 155mm, what more could a man want?
That doesn't look like 155mm, 120mm at most.

Yep, it's actually 105;

Yeah, I kinda figured. 155mm artillery pieces tend to be considerably larger than that.

Yeah, having worked with a 155K98 myself I've got a fairly good gauge of what 155 looks like :v:
Interesting fact about the M777. If you try transporting it on a standard flatbed trailer (not a HET trailer, that's different), the barrel-mounted wheel will break through the wooden floorboards. Our unit's trailers are still fucked up from last summer.
A word of advice. If you're going to be hauling the things with M915s, leave the trailers in the motor pool. They're [I]towed[/I] artillery pieces for chrisake.

Added to Shockwave, when?
Incidentally, what's the largest weapon mounted on a wheeled platform that (at least supposedly) can be fired on the move?
The museum that I used to vounteer at has got a shop attached to it, and currently they are doing a huge sell off. There is a very interesting looking trench knife made from a German bayonet, and I'm thinking of getting it. Are there any specialist items I need to display it? Or should it be fine on my shelf? They are also selling a old Aussie Bren, I wish I had enough money to get it!

well because they could pickup the 20mm cannon off of a wrecked vehicle and suddenly had more firepower than a tank
im still waiting on the flying machine-gun quadcopters they had
also for china to replace all weaponry with miniguns

oh god i forgot about the ECM vehicles they added in Zero Hour. So ontop of all the zaney stuff, the US got a microwave tank that disables vehicles and buildings by frying their electronics which is sort of possible, the chinese on the other hand, got a tank that puts out microwaves all around it, cooking infantry and setting trees on fire
what has come true from that game:
1) international terrorist state in the middle of the middle east
2) humvees being garbage for troop protection
3) attack of the killer drone!
4) armies of chinese hackers funding their army

Called it!
Glad to see the Russians have finally gotten away from those fucking barrel-mounted notch rear-sights.
It's the new AK-12, so they might be completely new parts.
The former front sight bit is still there since it holds the nub + spring in that little lump on top that holds the muzzle brake in place. It might be a reused AKS-74U FSB, since it has the lump on the side that holds the spring and nub that hold the muzzle brake on. If they'd made a new one I would've expected them not to bother with that bit.
