Fantastic Firearms Part 2 - General

[QUOTE=LE0N1;17177718]Still though, not even a company like HK sues over that. I've also noticed that it's sometimes done entirely on purpose though, IE the game's set in an alternative universe. In games aiming to be realistic/historical though it's almost never done. I really don't see how you can bring something like that to court though and not have the judge just laugh at you because some company used that copyright in a virtual world. Hell they should appreciate the media exposure their weapons will get. The corner shot is a waste of time and money. Although the cat, oh man wow. Aiming at the enemy one spots you, he only sees your weapon and thinks it's a cat when it's actually a gat. :v:[/QUOTE] I only like the eureka moment someone must have had when they thought "I know let's stick a toy cat on the end of it" [b] then afterwards this happened [/b] [img]http://geeksofdoom.com/GoD/img/2009/02/2009-02-27-professor_farnsworth-150x150.jpg[/img] GOOD NEWS EVERYBODY !!!! I have devised a way how to shoot a gun round corners without being seen by using my new corner shot with a cat on the end of it lol

The kitty makes it all the more hilariously fail.

Even the guy from Future Weapons had trouble taking the cat part seriously when they had him jizz all over the cornershot. I guess a cat is fine too.

I guess nobody is going to be like "Toy cat... OMG GUN". Nobody would think people were that crazy.

[QUOTE=zerglingv2;17184937]Last year someone tried to tell me that an aks-74u was a submachine gun because it was one in call of duty 4, I raged on him.[/QUOTE] ahahahahah tell me about it.

Last year in my language class I heard a couple of jocks and a rocker kid talking about what the best guns for zombie survival were, and they were so dumbfoundingly retarded in not just their selection but their reasoning that I wrote up a story about OPERATORS and BABY-RAPING POLICE-MURDERING ASSAULT WEAPONS right there on the spot and read it in front of the class with the most serious face I think I've ever mustered.

112)Savage 99 [img]http://www.terosdesign.us/cook/gun_images/Savage-99-full-2.jpg[/img] Near the turn of the century Arthur Savage, who had up until that point made his living doing everything from running Australia's largest cattle ranch to building race cars (he even invented the radial tire) decided to venture into the world of firearms. His design used a lever action which was prized by hunters and sportsmen for its speed over bolt guns but he wanted to manufacture it in spitzer-cartridges such as the .303 British. Unlike Winchester he opted for a rotary magazine to contain the bullets. An even greater innovation was the hammer. Or lack thereof. This gun is often credited as very first mass-produced firearm to use a spring-activated firing pin rather than a hammer. An earlier version competed against the Krag for US army trials and lost out, but the true legacy would be on the civilian market. Its great reliability, reasonable price and ability to fire more effective spitzer cartridges made it wildly popular with hunters and recreational shooters. Granted its success in Europe wasn't so great since the European hunters often consider any lever-action gun "vulgar". Even then the rotary magazine makes the model 99 somewhat acceptable in those circles. So successful was this design that it stayed in production for more than 100 years, although it has recently ceased production. The company that created it, Savage Arms, is definitely still in business and used model 99s are still abundant. After all, more than a million were made.

Didn't Savage make a good pistol as well?

[QUOTE=Bean-O;17160317]I did it in Weeaboo Weapons a long time ago because it is extremely overpriced and it failed to find any government/law enforcement sales. The small handful that were sold to anyone were sold to civilians. Even then most know enough not to waste their money on it. Not because it sucks, but because you can get a rifle just as good for almost half the cost. Also Killzone used the receiver of the ZM in one of their bullpup rifles, they even kept the trademark (I'm surprised they hadn't been sued).[/QUOTE] I knew it was a ZM, but I didnt think the lable was there, can anyone post pics? (I have the game, but not having a HDTV I cant see details for shit)

[QUOTE=Resistance777;17193905]Whats even the point of this "corner gun"?[/QUOTE] So the user won't get shot in the head when aiming down a corner, as the person will have to aim down the sights of a regular gun, exposing his head. I wonder how the Cornershot platform will handle something with a lot of recoil like a shotgun?

[QUOTE=Squeaken;17192493]I knew it was a ZM, but I didnt think the lable was there, can anyone post pics? (I have the game, but not having a HDTV I cant see details for shit)[/QUOTE] I couldn't find the screenshot where you see the logo on the rifle but they recycled it on this pistol. I think I may actually be wrong in terms of trademark infringement since they changed the M to an H. [img]http://i217.photobucket.com/albums/cc15/xanixonox/Weapons/IvP-18TropovMachinePistol.jpg?t=1216565153[/img] Still very lazy if you ask me. They should have come up with their own logo. They also stole the Bushmaster logo. [img]http://i217.photobucket.com/albums/cc15/xanixonox/Weapons/M66-SDSubmachineGun.jpg?t=1216565171[/img] Anyway my point is that their art design turned out pretty good in spite of the fact that most of the weapons could never function in their existing configuration, but that is largely because they made a mishmash of existing designs. Not only that they couldn't even come up with their own logos. So while ultimately the results are quite decent the art designers got really lazy when it came to the weaponry.

A little off topic, but I was sitting in Chemistry class today and the thought of a bull-pup pistol popped into my head. Would this be at all possible? It would also be interesting to find any prototype bull-pup pistols. All Google has shown me are drawings and video game models.

I don't see the advantage of a bullpup pistol. If you had one you would need to move the action far enough behind the grip so that you can handle it properly and added with the action behind the mag well you would have a pretty bulky handgun. A very back-heavy one at that. The only way to balance it out would be with a longer barrel and that would just make it a pistol-caliber rifle. Simply put I don't see it happening in any way that would still be a handgun and a practical one that would actually sell.

[QUOTE=Thomas849;17201601]A little off topic, but I was sitting in Chemistry class today and the thought of a bull-pup pistol popped into my head. Would this be at all possible? .[/QUOTE] Yeah it's possible. But it's stupid. Stupid as all fuck.

I love weapons. Not the kills that comes from them but the technology that goes into them.

[QUOTE=Latias;17203392]I think the Land Warrior weapon sticking an entire M4 around the corner is more effective than sticking a pistol around the corner[/QUOTE] The point of the corner shot was to be used primarily by law enforcement, where rifle caliber weapons wouldn't be necessary. Besides, they make an M4 variant of the corner shot.
