Fantastic Firearms Part 2 - General

Point stands even though Ventilated creams his pants for Bean-O (a respected user!! omg!!!). This is a thread that didn't need to exist, Facepunch has enough shitty threads as it is. We don't need Bean-O bumping this thread every few days with a news article containing the word "gun" somewhere. I understand that Ventilated is a thoroughly awful mod and probably was just trying to stick up for his boy, but this is a shit thread by a shit poster - gas gas gas gas gas [highlight](User was permabanned for this post ("Asher Roth." - ventilated))[/highlight]

You should make another thread that isn't just firearms.

This thread is only thread in GD that I actually read. Keep em coming. I also agree with Manic Matt that you should do Mark 19.

[QUOTE=ventilated;15803597]I endorse this continuation since that thread was going quite well. Still waiting for your "(G)narly Non-Lethals" thread (which would include Nerf guns).[/QUOTE] Yeah, it's spelt gnarly. And Bean-O, could you give me some info on the XM-8? It doesn't have to be an article cause I'm sure you did it in W.Weapons.

It doesn't have to be an article cause I'm sure you did it in W.Weapons.[/QUOTE] [quote=Bean-O]13) XM8 Another H&K gun, this will be pretty short because the XM-8 isn't like a G-36. It IS a G-36. Basically the Germans saw that we too were getting a little fed up with with the M-16 quirks so they decided to sell us their G-36. But wait, they were smarter than that. If they were going to rip off the US and it's huge army with a massive contract they'd try to get as much out of it as possible. So they decided to make the XM-8. They started with a polymer body redesign so that we wouldn't mistake it for a G-36 (instead disguising it as a super-soaker), added an extendo-stock because we Americans could never adapt from the M4's stock to a folding one heaven forbid (and this was a good move on H&K's part because I already mentioned that the G-36's stock sucks). Then they pulled the most important part of the plan: They sold it as the most modular weapon ever (meanwhile pretending that the Magpul Masada and Robinson Arms XCR didn't exist) and made it's rail interface incompatible with anything that currently existed. Now why would they do that? Easy. Because if their rail system was incompatible with anything else guess who gets the contract for all of the XM-8's nifty geardo-ings? H und K. Too bad that there were a few hitches in the plan. First off us Americans weren't as stupid as they thought we were. We knew it was a G-36 and therefore by proxy an A.R.18. We also knew better than to waste all that money on an assault rifle that was only marginally better than what we already had given the cheaper competition vying for the same contract (like the SCAR made by H&K's Belgian nemesis, FN). We also knew that when shit started MELTING during the torture tests who would be voted off the island first. Crafty, H&K. But not crafty enough. They did however succeed in selling us the 416 which is basically an M4 with a piston. So they successfully sold us back out own gun but we got the last laugh when we awarded the manufacturing contract to Colt under the designation of M5. Ah, the one thing funnier than an evil, price-gouging gun manufacturer is another equally evil price-gouging gun manufacturer screwing the first one out of a contract to make it's own gun.[/quote] From the Weeaboo weaponry thread, since it's sooooo hard to click the link and scroll down a few posts.

Yes it is :v: Thanks Mug.

Currently writing about the Colt Army/Navy

Mk. 19 is definatly a good choice for an article, good to know you are looking into it. Also, I for one like his thread. Thank you for continuing.

Do an article about the AA12, that 12-gauge automatic shotgun with no recoil: [img]http://world.guns.ru/shotgun/aa-12.JPG[/img] [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atchisson_Assault_Shotgun[/url]

I like Bean-O's threads Maybe because i love gun to, but whatever they're a good read

Also it's too new. Also you can't say something is fantastic if you see it in future weapons...

The only reason it doesn't have much recoil is because it weighs a fuckton. Also, you should do the AR-18. Various rifles were designed from or in the G36's case, plastic coated from it.

[QUOTE=Bean-O]Well, if you had bothered to read the OP you would have known that within a day or so after every article is written it is copied to the front page. Not all of them are in the fist post but all of them (including the MG42/MG3) are there. Had you bothered skimming through that just looking at the pictures you would have found it.[/QUOTE] I just checked the first post, not remembering there being a letter limit each post. My bad

61)Colt Navy [img]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/3/3d/Coltnavy.jpg[/img] When Samuel Colt first patented his Paterson revolver it was a far cry from the various six-shooters we are now fimiliar with. It was originally .28 caliber, cap and ball (no self-contained cartridge) that you had to disassemble to painstakingly reload. The trigger had no guard and slid into the gun when it wasn't in use. This gun wasn't a huge success but it was the first revolver ever made. It was Genesis and Sam Colt's patent gave him a temporary monopoly on the revolver market. But he had to come up with something better. For one thing he had to fit an underbarrel hand-operated (insert dick joke here) bullet seater in order to reload the gun without taking the whole thing apart. He also wanted a bigger caliber and he stuck with .36. Eventually he took that design and refined it into the Colt Navy. It was still cap and ball. You had 6 shots. After that you had to painstakingly spend a long time reloading each individual chamber with loose powder, a bullet and a percussion cap. But it was quite a bit faster. It also had a proper trigger, a proper hammer, everything you'd expect to see on a revolver. In fact an old Navy can shoot almost as well as any other revolver today, provided you don't have to reload it. That gun was initially offered in 1851 It was aggressively marketed within the US and in Europe where it found contracts in the US military as well as that of Britain. In fact Colt built a factory in England to supply Europe's demand. Britain, Russia, Austria and Poland used them. Larger than life characters such as Wild Bill and Robert E. Lee carried the Navy. Wild Bill was known for unloading and reloading his ever day in order to verify that everything was ready to go and in fully working order. During its lifetime 250,000 navy handguns were manufactured and distributed. Used on both sides of the Civil War by officers and cavalry. If you had one you had a much higher rate of fire than anyone around you, although reloading under battlefield conditions is impossible. Once you're out of ammo you're out of luck. Either way thousands were used during that conflict on both sides. But Colt wasn't by itself. They had to compete with an upstart company which was manufacturing an almost identical design and they were charging less for it. Remington had the Model 1858 which could be reloaded slightly faster and came in the same caliber (plus a .44 variant similar to the Colt Army). The Colt struggled against such competition but because it was standard issue for numerous troops thousands upon thousands were used. Because of government contracts and a larger production line Colt did outsell the venerable and reliable Remington and in the process created a rivalry which has been boiling ever since. After the Civil war many of these revolvers were retrofitted to fire self-contained cartridges by various gunsmiths (with inconsistent results), but their popularity still waned and they were eventually withdrawn from production in the 1870's. Even so the occasional character (such as Wild Bill who I mentioned earlier) continued to use the old cap and ball revolvers for one reason or another, mostly out of nostalgia. Today the old ammunition and percussion caps are still being manufactured for a reasonably large group of nostalgic shooters. Originals are (like all guns that old) rather prized by collectors although replicas are more popular for actual shooting. Since on a firing range you're in no rush you can actually get to enjoy the intricate process of reloading an old gun like this. Of course most people just aren't that patient. Even by modern standards it is very accurate, granted the .36 ammunition with a standard measurement of powder offers pretty much the same ballistic performance as .380 ACP.

Bean -O, you should consider doing an article on the VSS Vintorez. I think it's a pretty cool weapon, since it has dual purposes; one being a short range sniper rifle, the other being an assault rifle.

I love your articles Bean-O, and I agree on the non-lethal weapons section, I would love to see that sort of thing in here.

You make some informative and well done threads but what is it with you and guns?

[IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v394/SilentWarfare/ORD_L115A1_Royal_Marines_Francis_Fl.jpg[/IMG] How about the AWSM/L115A1? One of the best fucking sniper rifles ever, used by many armed forces, notably the Royal Marines. [img]http://www.dreadgazebo.com/gunporn/wp-content/uploads/2007/05/mp7-1.jpg[/img] MP7. Easy to use, lightweight, and apparently from what I heard, it'll cut through any body armor, even a dragon skin.

The AWSMWL112123A23 or whatever the fuck it is is too new and there are better, older sniper rifles out there. The MP7 was in the Weeaboo Weapons thread and it's your typical HK bullshit, the round is pretty much useless as well.

How about the Saiga-12 shotgun? It's reliable (AK-47 action), it could fire 2 3/4 and 3 inch shotgun shells (no pain in the ass to reconfigure the gun), fairly easy to manufacture (AK-47 system), and it's powerful (it's a fucking shotgun). They also make Saiga hunting rifles in .223, 7.62 X 39 MM, and .308, I am not sure how well they preform in accuracy or reliability.

But I wouldn't say I love guns any more than the average FP user loves video games. Although it may seem like I'm completely bonkers when there are pages and pages of material that I have written. That is only because I write it one piece a day. It adds up pretty quickly. Really anyone could do anything with this format. Start a thread about video games you have played. Talk about the ins and outs. Write one full-length article every day. It doesn't take that long at all before you have almost a book's worth of content. You could do this for cars, people, news, cameras, wheelchairs, rocks, planets, fetishes, calculators, shoes. Anything, and I mean anything can be discussed at length in this manner.
