Not many were made.
[QUOTE=TacticalBacon;50091504]I wish someone would make a rifle using the G3 action that's chambered in 7.62x39mm. Actually, just convert more weapons to it in general. Stuff like AIA's SMLE-based bolt-action rifles and all these AR-15s popping up in it are cool.
[/QUOTE]
PTR makes a 7.62x39 G3-type rifle called the PTR-32 KFR. They cost about $1000 USD

That is certainly true.
Looks fuckin awesome if you ask me
Looking left to right along it is like a time machine through the last 60 years of weapons development.
We need some more swords in here.
Scratch that, we need to see more swords being used. Allow me to boast a bit and show you a video from the last HEMA tournament i participated in.

So a new anime is out during this season which speculates what would have happened if the world went to shit in the midst of the First Industrial Revolution. It's called Koutetsujou no Kabaneri, but that doesn't matter! What matters is the weird as fuck weapons they use in the show:
[t]https://i.ytimg.com/vi/zLUn3tZFXSk/maxresdefault.jpg[/t]
So from what I understand, thanks to how quick things went to shit, people pretty much forgot how to use gun powder in weapons or just stopped caring, and decided to use... Steam powered air rifles.
Yeah. I don't know how to explain this shit. Another aspect of the story(spoilers) [sp]is that the world is so fucked, that they have to make giant trains which are armored up like crazy and these trains are the only way of realistically moving from one area to another. One problem is though, is that these trains need to be repaired/resupplied every so often, and thanks to this, they need stations. Well stations become massive slum settlements, which are constantly under assault by the zombies of the series.[/sp]
Air powered rifles actually had some limited but not insignificant military usage in the age of black powder.
Lewis and Clark used an air powered rifle, for example.
Speaking about anti tank rifles, I want the lahti L-39 in a vidya game

Girandoni Air Rifle.

Was used from the 1780's till the 1830's/1840's. A similar design was used in resistance movements during the 2nd World War with the Partisan Air Rifle.

I was also doing some research into some early steampowered weapons, and it turns out one of the first machine guns was steam powered.

Even later on after the US Civil War, tons of weapons were constructed with steam power in the hopes of defending against invasions on the cheap.

That actually really does make a certain amount of sense. You don't need gunpowder at all, ammunition can be cast out of any scrap metal you can melt down, and you can just plug in any steam generator your town has access to.

i don't think its really fare to call that a machinegun, there's no solid evidence that it ever worked, just that it looked menacing and it sounded menacing, so people kept thinking it was menacing
it was sort of like the red mercury of its day, everybody wanted it, nobody knew if it would work, but everybody knew it was supposed to be deadly.

[QUOTE]The Indian government manufacturer Ordnance Factories Board (OFB) displayed a FAL based rifle chambered in 7.62x39mm. The TRICHY Assault Rifle (TAR) is designed to utilize the Indian A7 cartridge, a locally produced 7.62x39mm. The internal operation retains the piston system and is the tilting bolt design found in the FAL. I am unaware if it has the same gas adjustment capabilities.
The weapon was designed to be modular and reduced in weight. Some key features include a perforated flash hider, FN style folding stock, an optic mount, polymer handguards, and polymer pistol grip. The TRICHY rifle can also be equipped with a grenade launcher.
The rifle is 37″ long (940 mm) and 27.16″ with the stock folded (690 mm), with a weight of 7.9 lbs (3.6 kg). Rate of fire is 800 rounds per minute from a 30 round magazine – this is a faster rate of fire than the AKM (600 r/m) or the FAL (600-700 r/m). I suspected this increase of rate of fire would be problematic for the shooter, and I quickly found an article on it in the [URL="http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/nagpur/Indian-AK-47-too-fast-for-its-own-good/articleshow/11482089.cms?referral=PM"]Times Of India[/URL].

you're thinking with modern steam generators in mind, back then a good boiler weighed hundreds of pounds, and if it didn't blow up on you, you got some high pressure steam. as a weapon of war, it would be terrible, and very expensive, and require an attached water source. the metal for the boiler would be better spent powering machinery to make guns, instead of being a gun
[QUOTE=download;50097633]Probably a better rifle than the pos they currently use.[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE] Called the Trichy Assault Rifle (TAR), the gun is being developed at the Tiruchirapalli Ordnance Factory in Tamil Nadu. The faster firing capacity was the USP for the Indian AK. It could fire 800 bullets in a minute as against 600 from the Russian rifle.
However, this speed has also led to a hitch, which was noticed during trials held recently. There were stoppages during firing at times. Rectifying the error will lead to a lower firing rate, even though the Indian version is expected to remain ahead of the original Kalashnikov, firing close to 650 rounds a minutes.
As far as the stoppages are concerned, they are said to be because of a simple mechanical reason say sources in the developing agency. To increase the rate of fire, the travel time for the bullet to leave the barrel was reduced. However, it was seen during rapid firing sessions that at times the subsequent bullet would reach the point where the empty cartridge of the first shot was yet to be ejected. A narrow ejection window also added to the problem, leading to the jamming.[/QUOTE]
I dunno it sounds like they fucked it up too. They can't clone an AK and they can't clone a FAL.

It's crazy to think about how ridiculously overpowered these were at the time. Most soldiers had just a blackpowder muzzleloader, single shot, long reload, massive bang and cloud of smoke on firing. Then there's the Giradoni, held multiple shots, able to be fired very rapidly (If I recall correctly, all you had to do to load the next ball was push the breechblock about an inch to the side and release it), had detachable magazines (Each soldier was issued with three I think) for fast reloading, and was relatively quiet when fired, with no visual indicator. No wonder Napoleon supposedly bitched about having to fight forces using them.

Pommel strikes were allowed, and it is some sort of pommel strike, so who knows!
Also I am kinda on the fence about this Skallagrim guy. Some of the videos he makes are kinda cool, then he makes videos about fencing where he has this know-it-all-holier-than-thou attitude.
