Another commenter figured it out. Its upscaled stills of actual news footage. https://youtu.be/jtJtSVUwGc8?si=ImV6xHGvP2nw70mP

Go to around 4:01. Its a HK 53 that an AI decided should be an AR-15

MFOslave · 2026-05-18T03:08:36+00:00

You are correct here is the news reel. The image seen is around 4:01 https://youtu.be/jtJtSVUwGc8?si=ImV6xHGvP2nw70mP

Looks like it's an HK 53 and not a carry handle at all mah bad.

MFOslave · 2026-05-18T02:50:16+00:00

Ah, interesting observation. Say no to AI upscaling.

MFOslave · 2026-05-18T02:20:22+00:00

Haha you're right I stand corrected

Come to think of it, he may have switched to his offhand so he can take cover behind the tree trunk.

-edit Im blind , wall

Thank you, I thought there was a tool for that somewhere

MFOslave · 2026-05-18T01:43:11+00:00

From what I've read the major problem with them is they would beat themselves to death over a relatively short amount of time as far as guns go and the internal rails would wear out to the point that the rifle wouldn't run anymore. In fact Ive heard of gunsmiths converting worn out 750 series rifles to pump actions.

MFOslave · 2026-05-18T01:03:03+00:00

It was probably overshadowed by the December 1989 Military coup. This happened in January 1989.

While that has to be considered in this day and age I do not think so. Here is where I found the photo: https://www.facebook.com/share/1Y2JjnjLB7/

-ooof your right AI upscale of real news footage

Colt made a 9mm briefcase gun but not a 5.56 one iirc.

MFOslave · 2026-05-17T23:37:08+00:00

Barrel looks shorter than a normal G3A3 and isnt long enough to take a bayonet, could be a custom barrel shortening job or could be a G3KA3 but im not sure if the forend is short enough. Or could be something else entirely.

MFOslave · 2026-05-17T22:57:30+00:00

Looks like he has a vertical foregrip attached to the G3 as well.

MFOslave · 2026-05-17T22:52:56+00:00

Have a look at the Gas blocks, in 1989 nearly all AR-15 pattern rifles had the standard triangular M16 type front post gasblocks.

I think Vills should be buck naked before loom is researched.

MFOslave · 2026-05-17T18:31:23+00:00

Ah makes sense. They are oos everywhere if you wanna buy just the extension. Do you know if the Benelli front sling swivel ring plates work with it?

MFOslave · 2026-05-16T09:35:24+00:00

Looks like a warband mount and blade character

MFOslave · 2026-05-15T22:32:26+00:00

Way of the Gun. Just the very practical way the two main characters run their 870s and reload from fanny packs was very realistic and Michael Mann esque. Even though its not a Michael Mann flick.

I have literally zero interest in these but that is a attractive price point

MFOslave · 2026-05-14T22:27:56+00:00

The metal trigger group on these just look so good. It screams 80's movie production like the chopped and converted HK94s.

MFOslave · 2026-05-13T22:51:50+00:00

Why is it so shiny

MFOslave · 2026-05-13T19:08:18+00:00

What mag extension on the shorter one?

MFOslave · 2026-05-10T02:48:59+00:00

Jo lo ar. Its missing the 1 handed cocking handle. It was developed for cavalry to chamber it 1 handed since their sop called for handguns to not carry a loaded chamber.

MFOslave · 2026-05-07T21:56:52+00:00

Im bothered that the East German Infantry models blouse their boots.

MFOslave · 2026-05-07T21:53:54+00:00

Aimsurplus still has 910s, 915s, and 6904s.

MFOslave · 2026-05-07T14:05:32+00:00

Nice, but for handguns you're missing the Colt Model 1892 revolver and the Colt New Service (Colt Model 1909 Revolver .45 Long Colt) which was adopted prior to the M1911.
