[QUOTE=Sitkero;51189216] [del]Actually a BAE systems Black Knight unmanned ground combat vehicle[/del] Isn't nature wonderful[/QUOTE] I knew it, Advance Wars predicted the future of warfare! Can't wait for 10 year olds to send hundreds of men to their deaths in combat against tanks, using only small arms.
[QUOTE=Lone_Star94;51191095]I'd rather take my chances with a real Styer AUG that takes Nato mags instead of something from Australia.[/QUOTE] At least our Austeyr has a bayonet lug. In all seriousness though the Austeyr is a pretty damn solid rifle and Lithgow do a damn good job producing them.

Regiment idea is (obviously) a bunch of Guardsmen from a heavily medieval themed region of space. The axe-bayonets were inspired by Vostroyans and real-life gun axes, figuring they'd make pretty good melee weapons if they don't have time to draw their swords, and unlike a bayonet probably carry enough force to turn an Ork skull into chunky salsa.

Whoever thought that up is a genius. Too bad it's probably really front heavy
[QUOTE=Recurracy;51191680]Whoever thought that up is a genius. Too bad it's probably really front heavy[/QUOTE] They aren't terribly heavy. Of course with the original flintlocks and wheellocks, they were single shot, and you probably only -had- one shot before the enemy was upon you (or you were upon them).

Saw a couple of episodes of The Expanse yesterday, god I love the MCRN uniforms.

[QUOTE=Sableye;51190903]i always loved how every designer sort of just ignored the takeoff and landing aspect of all parasite concepts. if the fighters need to takeoff themselves, form up, dock and then they can all fly, how are you saving anything? the navy's airship at least was an airship so it wasnt burning fuel to stay up[/QUOTE] The point of these carriers is that the fighters just hang on. It greatly increases their range. Or at least, it's supposed to.
[QUOTE=Ehmmett;51191808]weird that they'd go with a gun that's exclusively an airsoft gun but it looks cool as hell[/QUOTE] How in the world is that weird? It's a surefire way to have guns that don't just look like a dressed up AR15 or AK. [editline]12th October 2016[/editline] Also it's cheap and you don't need a firearms instructor on-set all the time you use them.
[QUOTE=joost1120;51192279]The point of these carriers is that the fighters just hang on. It greatly increases their range. Or at least, it's supposed to.[/QUOTE] ya but the carrier has to loiter for some time before the aircraft dock and meet up burning lots of gas in the process. the planes like those depicted only had a couple hours of fuel at best
[QUOTE=Ehmmett;51191808][URL]http://www.evike.com/products/41551/[/URL] weird that they'd go with a gun that's exclusively an airsoft gun but it looks cool as hell[/QUOTE] As someone already said, it's a good (and probably fairly cheap when compared to custom, built-from-scratch high-grade weapon props) way to make fictional realistic-esque rifles without the need for weapons training and so on. As well, the MCRN AR is designed as a weapon for use in space and on the ground, hence it fires caseless flechette dart cartridges at a high fire rate (each projectile being small but dense and designed to pierce armor) so that in space, it can kill by rupturing suits and exposing enemies to vacuum, while on the ground/inside a ship it's a good bullet hose. In some of the other The Expanse series books (and likely going to be shown in the show's 2nd season), Earth and Mars' militaries also do field some heavier infantry weapons for various special purposes besides small-caliber autorifles like that one. As well, here's a better pic of the MCRN rifle prop: [t]http://i.imgur.com/crfWls1.jpg[/t]
Oh god why was this a thing. [t]http://i.imgur.com/QSHG1uO.jpg[/t] The Villar Perosa M15. Designed to be used in planes, but was also used by ground troops. Chambered in 9x19mm glisenti, so I don't know if it can handle parabellum. Probably would blow up. Why Italy, WHY?

Chambered in 9x19mm glisenti, so I don't know if it can handle parabellum. Probably would blow up. Why Italy, WHY?[/QUOTE] It actually makes sense when you consider that it was developed for aircraft use before synchronized machine guns, and that WWI biplanes were extremely delicate and even a pistol round could do major damage to them. Of course, Ian has a video on them that explains it better: [video=youtube;NAsH0fVAoxc]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NAsH0fVAoxc[/video] What's really funny is that the Austro-Hungarians were so impressed with it being used in an infantry role they built their own copy: two frommer stops in .32 acp converted to full auto and mounted upside-down on a special tiny tripod [t]http://i2.guns.ru/forums/icons/forum_pictures/0/000816/816125.jpg[/t] Here's another image of it being used along with the Steyr dopplepistole M.12 and a normal Stop machine pistol: [img]https://topwar.ru/uploads/posts/2016-01/1454001203_frommer-stop-m.17-4.jpg[/img]
[QUOTE=Psychokitten;51192073]:drool:[/QUOTE] A warning before you get into the Expanse. It had the potential to be a great hard-scifi book series/tv show, but after the first book it goes STRAIGHT to soft-scifi with ayyy lmaos. It's a really jarring change of pace that I couldn't handle. [video]https://youtu.be/EG1DoHPAaRA[/video] On topic, I love the "pom-pom" guns from WWI. Ridiculously powerful 37mm machineguns that are basically autocannons, and massive overkill for pretty much anything on the battlefield at the time. You could hunt Tyranids with that thing.

All the guns in The Raid movies were airsoft guns as well.

If the anti-terror drill ends with mannequins dressed as civilians getting blown up I think that the CTU involved has some research to do... :v:
Maybe those are incredibly fashionable terrorists being dispatched. [editline]13th October 2016[/editline] It is South Korea, after all.

[IMG]https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/3b/Automatgev%C3%A4r_m1943_-_Tyskland_-_AM.045876.jpg[/IMG] Are there any semi-automatic gas-operated rifles like the G43 where the stock covers the gas piston like so? I really love the a e s t h e t i c s of how it accentuates the height difference between the top of the receiver and the bore axis and gives the front of the weapon that kind of piscine bow to it.
im not exactly sure what you're talking about but the m1 carbine looks pretty similar to that gun
