I don't like that scope and rail but other than that it looks great imo
Small Arms Survey just released a report on homemade/craft produced firearms, and their impact on the Nigerian blackmarket.
Also have some Lutys in Brazil:

here is the Russian 6P62, which can only be described as the wildly impractical bastard child of an AKM and a KORD - an assault rifle/heavy machine gun chambered in 12.7x108

This thing weirds me out so much. It's one of those "what could have been" type deals for weapons, as the US Army was considering bullpups around 44' ~ 45'.
It looks kinda like the HK CAWS

But it also reminds me of Loren Cook's bullpup BAR

This little beauty is from '54.
I also recall, but can't seem to find, an old article on over-shoulder .50s.
Trump orders creation of 'Space Force' as sixth military branch
Oh dear. We are going to SPACE.
I love Russians, they have some really cool and crazy weapon designs. That gun would be practical if Russia had cyborgs or robot soldiers, perfect gun for robot soldiers
They also have some really funny looking designs.

Then they have some of my favorite guns like the Groza and the Vintorez family. I love having a good excuse to bring them up
In order, Groza series, Vintorez and Val, and SR-3.

So I was looking at some anime art and found a shoulder-mounted Browning M2.

A comment on the pic sparked my curiosity:

A bit of googling later, there was an actual shoulder-mounted M2 derivative made for the Aussies back in WW2 in the form of the Shepherd Robinson Model 14.
The forum post didn't have pics so I had to dig a little further to find some.

Well, at least the shoulder-mounted minigun from FONV became a bit more plausible to me.
It was nice knowing you, Mars.
oooo that bullpup bar's real neat lookin
So this is where rogue trader/old warhammer got their whacky heavy weapon designs from

"Leather-bound length of MG08 barrel, with leather wrist strap used as a trench club. This unusual (possibly unique) trench club is probably German in origin. It is constructed from the cut-down barrel of a German MG 08 machine-gun, which has been bound in leather. The barrel, evidently, had been discarded due to damage, or having simply become worn-out."

Guy beat a Taliban fighter to death with a M240 tripod after firing all 400 rounds available, throwing 17 grenades and blowing a Claymore at 'em.
Some of those afghan ambushes were super close range

Clearly the answer is the P90

I kind of feel like that might have worked as a man-portable anti-aircraft gun. Like a 1940s Stinger missile. Especially early in the war, ground-attack aircraft were slow enough you could feasibly hit them with rifle fire. Something like that would have been expensive, and semi-redundant, and dammit it's probably going to show up in Battlefield V doing just that, isn't it?
I forgot the ninjas in You Only Live Twice were using Gyrojet guns.
I know it was fake, but there was a scene in a Russian propaganda movie about the Soviet Afghan war where a PK gunner ran out of ammo, and proceeded to swing the gun around like a baseball bat.

Yeah, he suffers the consequences for it, at about 4:55:

To be fair, claw hammers are fuckin' brutal tools. Every time I do some DYI work around the house, I look at that thing and wonder how the fuck it's legal, but bladed weapons are restricted around here.

America's biggest and smallest mistakes of the war.
The way the Americans envisioned the M22 being used is absolutely hilariously retarded.
So is the fact that they lost the T-95. Not as in "It was destroyed" or "It broke down". They lost it. Fucking forgot where they put it and couldn't find it. It was later found again, ever so well-hidden.

Technically speaking: we never actually envisioned using the M22 Locust at all. The Brits came to us and said "we want a tank we can airdrop" and we weren't in the mood to ask questions that day so we just built and sold it.
No Americans used it, but they most certainly had plans and techniques to do so.
Said techniques involved strapping it's hull to the belly of a C-47 and it's turret in the cargo hold, then land on an enemy airfield, unload the tank, assemble the tank, then fight.
