most of it is manufacturing quality autism
Yeah
not design complexity autism
I mean they still do silly shit like laser welding mag seams lmao
But yeah mostly on the mfg side
The g11 is exactly what I'm talking about. Thats the clockwork military rifle with the stick mags in the front end right?
Gotcha.
Yes
Too much Coke in the engineers brains
Hk gang
It was the 80s
Hk sucks gang
Like I think you could make the argument that the 416 is like too complicated and expensive n shit
But it was designed to do some very specific things normie ars don't do
Shooting while full of water without grenading being a big one
As long as you don't need a bunch of proprietary or oddball tools to work on it and the gun doesn't require a mechanical engineering degree to comprehend, it's fine. QA autism is welcome in some cases imo.
Na I mean no German gun I've fucked with was too autistic
Cept maybe some weird Walther shit
Needing a screwdriver thing to get the slide of is gay as fuck
Is the main difference with the 416 that it's piston driven?
And pistons don't get full of water and detonate the gun
Also generally overgassed as shit
For reliability
Full auto is like submachinegun fast because of that
And generally significantly harder recoiling then a normal ar
But that makes it more reliable
It's all a compromise, not like the Germans have some special sauce or anything, they just tweaked the design and changed up the compromises a bit
What happens with a regular gas system? Steam explosion in the tube?
Hydrostatic shock
Water is incompressible
When a fuck ton of gas pressure tries to compress it your gun pops
The barrel or the gas tube?
Gas tube and/or reciever
Here the hk tests
Gas tube i get but the reciever? Damn. The ejection port doesn't provide a suitable enough vent?
I think it's just the velocity/pressure of the gas my man
Like you're already in an overpressure situation because of water in the barrel
And iirc the reciever explosion was only when they fired the gun completely underwater
But I haven't watched the vid in a hot sec
