Cool article. Why don't you do the Sterling SMG next? Haven't seen that one on the list.
GP11 isn't much more expensive than .308 though.
My K31 was owned by this guy: [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Josef_Stutz[/url] , but he would have had to be like 60 years old to have used the rifle (made in 1935), so maybe the soldier that had it was just a joker and signed someone else's name on the tag. Or maybe... there are two Josef Stutzes?!
Bean-O do you got something against the springfield xd? I posted a request for it 5 times (Litterally) and you seem to have neglected posting it.
[QUOTE=Bean-O;16167067]I can't find that much information about the K31's origins but here goes:

Contrary to popular belief the K31 wasn't designed by Rudolf Schmidt Although it was based off the Schmidt-Rubin design which goes back to 1889.

Nice article!

It hasn't seen a whole lot of use in combat. If any. It's just another 9mm pistol for chrissakes. Nothing special there worth mentioning.

[QUOTE=Prismatex;16167724]Nice article![/QUOTE]
We know it is. It's common knowledge by now (even more so because of the RU status). Bean-O is that fucking awesome. But was it necessary to quote the whole thing?
I'd do the XD but I don't have enough information about how well it's selling.
I do know that it's popular. Also, being a civilian weapon does not disqualify it.
[QUOTE=kaskade700;16157521]Future weapons lol[/QUOTE]
Yes, because he couldn't have learned about the Cornershot from any other source besides Future Weapons like you did apparently.

Yeah but if you end up doing the XD you may as well do every single "tacticool" firearm that kiddies wet themself over, despite not being time tested or seeing much service.
Well, not sure if it is fantastic or Weeaboo quality. But I'm curious about the Molotov cocktail. I know it won't destroy an M1 Abrams, but it could be manufactured by anyone cheaply and it could fuck up shit.

Very easy to make. Anyone with half a brain could make one.
Do the CZ-82/83.

From what I understand, Molotov cocktails fit the criteria for Fantastic [B]Fire[/B]arms.
hey bean-O, can we have less bolt action rifles?
I'd like to see some more weird sub-machineguns or micro-machineguns examined.
[QUOTE=Darkhorse01;16157930]I went to the War and Peace show today, (I have a 2 week freedom pass)
Here are the prices for some of the guns I saw.
AK47, 74, and other variants. - £130 to £200
SKS, with folding bayonet. - £350
SVT - £450
Mosin Nagant, with folding bayonet, dated 1944, it was a cavalry carbine - £350
Kar98k's - Varied in price and conditions. £250 to £600
Lee Enfield - No.3 SMLE, £300, No.4, £350 to £450, No.5 Jungle Carbine, £600
PPSH41 - £250
Sterling SMG's - £300 to £500

All pistols were from £100 to £200. They weren't very common, most common pistols were Walther P38's.
That's all I can remember, I'm sure my memory will be jogged later on. Tomorrow or the day after when I go back I'll get pictures of some. There was a Minigun for sale, and some large calibre rifles. (Stuff like Hungarian Technika Gepards and Czech Falcons)
I'll take the pictures off of my phone of some of the vehicles later today and put in my thread.

Of course, the majority were deactivated.
Some weren't. But you need a full UK firearms licence to buy them, and they were chained up behind the stalls on a board. The deact's were on tables and racks, you were free to pick them up and mess about with them a bit.[/QUOTE]
I'm guessing the SMLEs weren't de-activated? My friend goes shooting every week and he says they use bolt action rifles for the most part.
[QUOTE=professional;16168964]Yeah but if you end up doing the XD you may as well do every single "tacticool" firearm that kiddies wet themself over, despite not being time tested or seeing much service.[/QUOTE]
It's not some tacticool firearm bullshit, it's a very good pistol with great ergonomics and great magazine capitacity. It's got an awesome safety system and holds well. It's easy to clean and easy to take down. It's accurate and won't malfunction if you use decent ammo.
Just because it's not used in the service doesn't mean it's not good. A lot of the guns you (Bean-o) choose were guns that aren't really ALL that great, they just had a lot of time in some military that you could easily write an article about.
In reality, I would like you to come up with a pistol that is better all around then XD(m)
I hate to say this but Beano, you basically covered every good weapon we could think of. Now there is just none left. Name one weapon and it's already covered. I can't think of any firearms that you haven't looked into. Unless you decided to look into heavy weaponry like howitzers and mortars
[QUOTE=Oecleus;16176083]

Do I REALLY need to name a bunch of pistols that are better all rounders than the XD? Seriously? C'mon bro.
And you completely missed the point, we may as well get beano to chuck up the SCAR (actually just the CAR now), the HK416, hell the G36, any new (repeat) piston AR, smith and wesson's M&P pistols, beretta's PX4, every new clone and rehash of an old(er) design, etc etc.
Why not? By your logic, they all perform well, they're all solid designs. Are you catching what I'm pitching yet?
They aren't [B]fantastic[/B] firearms yet, because they haven't seen that much useage and aren't really notable for anything, and the main thing is, they're [B]too new[/B]

It doesn't need to be old to be a fantastic firearm. If a gun has a solid design, regardless of how old it is it would be a "fantastic firearm"
And yes, I would like you to point out a better all around gun then the XD(m). I don't see the problem with me asking that.

I didn't say old. I said it would have to have seen a good period of useage and at least be notable for something. Otherwise, HK416 and CAR = perfect candidates. They're both solid designs, but the truth is, their too new and they aren't really anything but a new look and a few tiny improvements on an old design.
The problem with you asking that, is that I'd be worried if you yourself can't think straight away off the top of your head, any number of designs that are just as good, if not better arguably than the XD.
I'm expecting explosives soon.
[QUOTE=Prismatex;16176679]I'm expecting explosives soon.[/QUOTE]
gun != explosive
I'd like to see the S&W Model 686 done some time. The first, best double-action .38/.357
No, I'm expecting Bean-O to do an article on some type of explosive weapon soon.

The XD(m) is very popular with civilians, if there was a problem, it would have showed up by now.
If you have so many designs that are better, why don't you just list one. You pretend as if you have a whole long list of guns that are better.

Ok fine. Here's a few that come off the top of my head:
1911
Browning HP
1911 based clones
H&K USP
Sig P226, P228 , P229
CZ-75

You could probably add a few more to that too. Mk 23 for example.
