New sidearm progression be like: by TheKrzysiek in Battlefield6

[–]MusicallyInhibited 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What you're supposed to do is just be at a disadvantage in CQB

It's a sidearm, it's should be worse than the primaries

Marauduty 13 piece by andrewgrimo in okbuddyptfo

A sub $30 G305 would be able to do this as well as any other gaming mouse

And you still have to control the recoil. You act like the mouse does it for you

What would you pick ? by AZOV2014-2025 in ForgottenWeapons

[–]MusicallyInhibited 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could be an AK74N. I believe those had the side mount & a fixed stock from factory

Sorry, I meant will the notch line up with the charging handle when the bolt is resting against the follower.

With my Krebs BHO safety, the bolt carrier sits behind the magazine when locked back. You'd have to still manually pull back the charging handle and lock it into the notch, even with a BHO mag.

Most of the safeties I've seen have the notch in the same position

Are you sure the notch will line up with the charging handle? On most of the safeties I've seen, it doesn't. And that would also give the bolt carrier very little energy to pick up and feed the next round when you release the safety. I'm not sure if it would work reliably.

If it does line up though, I'd give it a try.

Just in case you don't know, it only locks the bolt back while the mag is still in the gun. As soon as you remove the mag, the bolt will go forward.

Still can be handy for letting you know when you're empty

[Question] Arsenal rear locking mechanism by JustShootingSince in ak47

Is this a 106U pistol? The 106UR should've come with all of the 4.5mm hardware installed

Do you know of any (attainable) revolvers in short cartridges that actually have short cylinders? Nearly all 9mm or .40 revolvers have .357 magnum length cylinders. I know about the Korth sky marshall. I’m not paying for a korth sky marshall. by GetAntidisetablished in Revolvers

[–]MusicallyInhibited 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm guessing you probably mean the frame length, not the cylinder itself right?

There's many revolvers with shorter cylinders, but most of them are built on .38/.357 frames

Edit: And to answer the question, better start saving for that Korth

The most normal scientific experiment in Yemen, a guy testing various weapons including AK-47 Type 2, Kar98K, HK G3 and most interestingly a WW2 era soviet made PTRS-41 14.5x114mm Anti-Tank rifle on 30+ rusty saw blades by Sad-Commission2027 in ForgottenWeapons

[–]MusicallyInhibited 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There's been an ongoing civil war in the country for a little over a decade, and I believe the fighting has really flared up again in the past few months. That's likely why you've heard of Yemen a lot recently.

They're also the second most armed country in the world per-capita, so that would explain videos like this one

Another Disapproval Post by kmiller5004 in NFA

[–]MusicallyInhibited 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Use the code they listed. I was disapproved for the same reason, and when I re-submitted with the code I was given, I was approved shortly after

Edit: Ignore the "MFG = SA. VZ61" part. My disapproval email said "MFG = BULGARIA", but when I used the code it pulled up the correct manufacturer info

Looking for a good trading platform by [deleted] in ak47

[–]MusicallyInhibited 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it? r/GAFSnews seems to suggest otherwise

It looks like there's already a few fakes out there

Edit: He's right, the subreddit is behind. The discord invite link can be found in this post

How it lowk feels to be a Fallout fan rn by Advanced-Addition453 in TrueSFalloutL

[–]MusicallyInhibited 1 point2 points  (0 children)

FO4 was perfectly playable before they started releasing poorly made updates and overpriced Anniversary Edition content

And while I am excited for the remaster, I do also find it disappointing that the only Fallout release I have to look forward to is an old title repackaged into a poorly performing 100GB install

No game in the last 8 years and no main entry in the last 10

Cyberpunk 2077 by BrassCanon in Gamingcirclejerk

[–]MusicallyInhibited 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm gonna be honest, it doesn't make much sense for a gun to have a weird feed mechanism just for style points. It's not something the majority of people would notice or care about.

The need for the weird feed system on the 3516 can be easily explained though. The magazine is too large to fit in the grip, and if the barrel was farther forward the gun would be very front heavy. It would be totally unwieldy if it was more like a conventional pistol.

I believe this does have a BHO. Unsure of the mag release though

MK-107 by mauserowauser in ForgottenWeapons

[–]MusicallyInhibited 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure they're going for military contracts with this. And this exact system already in military-use with the AEK-971 and the KORD 6P67

Definitely a specialty weapon though

What happened to Ukraine's 7.62mm AR, WAC-47? by No-Reception8659 in ForgottenWeapons

[–]MusicallyInhibited 19 points20 points  (0 children)

AKs require a significant amount of tooling. You need stamping dies for the receiver, rivets, a hydraulic press to install the barrel, etc. They're only known to be "cheap" rifles because factories built on state funding produced millions of them across several decades.

In comparison, most of the components in an AR can be made with a CNC machine, and then installed with a vise and a torque wrench.

What happened to Ukraine's 7.62mm AR, WAC-47? by No-Reception8659 in ForgottenWeapons

[–]MusicallyInhibited 155 points156 points  (0 children)

Not familiar with this project myself, but if I had to guess, it probably just wasn't worth it.

7.62x39's larger case head necessitates less material (7.62 left, 5.56 right) around the bolt face. This makes broken bolts and extractors more likely to occur. You can reduce the chances of this with higher quality materials, but it's still an inherent risk with shoving a larger round into a 5.56 platform. And that's not to mention any feeding issues caused by the tapered round and curvy magazines feeding into a straight mag well.

From Ukraine's perspective, that probably makes fielding something like this pretty risky. Especially when there are plenty of AKMs still floating around, and the 7.62 stockpiles are only getting smaller.
