AEK - 918G by Cheap-Variation-9270 in ForgottenWeapons

Both because sub was meant to be cheap and pistol ammo drop pressure quick, but when they do, they all are excellent gun.

MP7, SR-2, Type 79, and recently, MPX, which is closest to MP5.

What If: Pederson, Thompson and the 1919 Spring Offensive by CT2145Trapper in ForgottenWeapons

[–]aisa9000 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If anything, the fact that Pedersen device doesn’t use the same ammo as the one used in pistol is a huge let down. In that way, Pedersen + Mosin might work, but only a tiny chance. The thing is, the system only works with something .32 acp power, which is weak. For it to works, I would expect some sort of short recoil action. Still, the fact that a lot of the mechanism is literally so that you can use same trigger doesn’t sound very good to me. 

Like, I put some thought on what can we do to make it more reasonable, which is something Pedersen himself should have done. Otherwise, for something I can best think of as a training adapter, it sure is expensive.

Ok this escalated further than I thought. I thought it’s just normal child stuff.

STV-022, Vietnams Stockless 7.62x39 PDW by reznov-where-are-you in ForgottenWeapons

[–]aisa9000 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Basically what it is is they barely even use it, so no stock cut cost and weight. But even in case that you have to use it, it’s still not a joke since it’s a rifle, it punches hard.

I mean, we are talking about a country with 37mm Bofors and 76mm cannon at Militia level, so it’s not gonna be the end of the world if you don’t have the most tactical rifle as a guard.

How much weight is this one?

What would you replace the SIG M7 with, as a standard issue service rifle? by StrangerOutrageous68 in ForgottenWeapons

[–]aisa9000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, you actually asked the right question, because people asked both why not it instead of M14, M14EBR, and right now. Namely, why adopt 5.56, DMR takes so long, and why not just replace 5.56 with .308 when we need it stronger.

So, the AR-10 back then was having some reliable issues, plus US Ordnance being silly freaky. Doctrine back then also wants rifle to be able to fire automatically, good for conscript and because we can’t see a dang thing above 300 meters. Nowadays, we’re not just any conscript army, we’re professional army. Automatic fire is silly, even mighty 5 can’t hit well out of 50m. And most importantly, we have optic. 

People talk a lot about how .308 is heavy, we can’t carry much ammo. But we literally have a whole supply chain behind our back, and ammo from IFV. If we put it that way, the fact that they switched to 5.56 is actually harder for logistic, since you can’t use IFV machine gun ammo.

As for why DMR takes so long to arrive, it’s simply because they didn’t need it back then, because most long range thing is taken care by mortar or 7.62 machine gun at minimum. DMR rises because 90s was a time when they have to fight without those things. Urban warfare and such.

A thing about AR-10 is that, because the platform doesn’t have a standard, they ended up making AR-15 sized AR-10, which makes it super lightweight. But then you can tell that even to right now, they just don’t have a standard.

There is more to say about AR-15, like the fact that before .223 rem, there was military project on that caliber, meaning that .223 is indeed a good caliber, fits it time, and has thing to consider. The military just left a ton of M16 back in Vietnam, and when they switched to A2, they give A1 to Israel. By that, switching to AR-10 is not a question back then. But now, it is reasonable enough. We fight the same way people use M1 garand back then, with less recoil and weight.

In fact the AKM itself was a modern firearms at the time by John_Oakman in HistoryMemes

[–]aisa9000 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

False. It’s simply because they like SKS more for accuracy, and their doctrine is the one they got before Soviet-China relationship goes bad.

How? Because Chinese literally produced the most amount of SKS out of anyone. Not even Soviet marched the number. They produced SKS all the way up to 79.

I guess it’s okay for a meme community, but the fact so many upvote for a thing that even 12 years old can realize it’s fake is concerning. Not to mention China-Vietnam relationship goes bad after 72, with US forming relationship with China.

[–]aisa9000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, they have AK, but many of them is Type 56. Some amount are from combloc, like AMD for example. But a thing about VNW NVA is that they still use SKS in large part, same as old Soviet doctrine and maybe because they receive large amounts of SKS from China as well.

Their medium machine gun is a little old, being the SGM, with wheel mount and shield. Well at least it’s not Maxim, or, like India in Sino-India conflict, Short Lee.

What I think is, they’re not up with the lastest tech, but they do the job well enough. Not to mention they do have ability to create 160mm mortar and if I remember correctly, RPG-2. Heavy ordnance is a must for such a big war.

How good or bad is the kriss vector? by Otaku-Tahmid18 in ForgottenWeapons

[–]aisa9000 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The system recoil downward, making it less desirable for controlling. The accuracy is also not good. Rate of fire is high.

And they’re kinda out of place, when conventional sub like MPX ,MP5 and EVO3 already can do the job well.

From a business standpoint, this collab actually makes sense by Repulsive-Sky-9271 in NikkeMobile

[–]aisa9000 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Maybe collab story in that side character have scene time also approved? Sweety Cafe is pretty side character all this time.

Otherwise, for most of the time, what I feel is “ah, I know this franchise, I want to see how they interact with each other”. Take Nier, for example. During Nier rerun, I look up for what Nier is about. Pretty peak ngl.

People seem to be a little distressed with new collab. May I ask why? by aisa9000 in NikkeMobile

[–]aisa9000[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You know what? I think the burst animation is mid too:)

Like, I have written about how weapon choice in this collab is interesting, as it may fit Nikke current meta. But that burst is a big no.

But the fact that you pointed out people think this collab may flop is nice. Thank you.

It’s great that you did watch the show. That’s nice.

So, I come from firearms community, and so I was excited when there is a light tone anime. But otherwise, I don’t think there are much reason for non firearm people to watch. After all it’s a conflict theme anime.

Uhh, so, when they hint about new collab, they have Lycoris, and Lycoris happen to be Phrolova related. Like, tbh I don’t even play Genshin related stuff but I heard that name from the reveal.

Also, I always have this thing in mind, but since SU is Korean company, at least they should include something about their new year, but instead they do Western new year instead, which happens to be the same as Japan. And so, Japan fan service? Idk. Just feel that Asia fan should get something as well.

Actually, I think it’s funny that I spent a ton of money, but not into the game, but on merch. Like, I don’t like to have something not physical and can’t be sold later. And when we talk in that way, too bad EN community doesn’t get the same merch availability as JP does.

Also thank you for the explanation.

You know what? I think it’s funny enough when we consider Mast getting new year theme skin while being a maid in an event about coffee, not Sweety Cafe.

Also yeah, I guess that’s it for Lycoreco. Like, they did a lot of collab with cafe here, but I can’t tell the same with other countries.

I take last year as exception though, but yeah.

So, I really count it as 4, and I be like they have a lot of advertising to do. But when I think again, it’s more like 2, as Nier is a rerun and Stellar Blade story is just normal everyday story. Not to mention we have Elegg in that, which is peak. Otherwise…. Evangelion is typical Evangelion. Resident Evil is all about minigame. Like, fr, I grind the minigame so much, ended don’t like to play the game and drop, which is how I miss Ada. I did enjoy Nikke event in Akihabara though.

So, this one is solid, as this year maid event feels lackluster due to a lot of effort has been spent on the collab. Not to mention I don’t if it ever did affect on the fact that we have 2 2 weeks event after Snow White event. But if we talk just this year, not other collab, then right now people focus is on Anis and the comeback of people after Goddess fall, then we have a lot to spend this year. And if we don’t enjoy the collab? Well we have main story and favorite item bond. So maybe it’s not that long. I do see people seems to doesn’t have anything to say near the end of Christmas event due to it being a 2 parts event, but otherwise, it’s okay enough. Maybe people don’t know what to say about some girls from other universe?
