so I wasn't really attracted to 6.5CM
Would a clockwork or otherwise heavily built trigger mechanism fix the bullpup trigger issue?
So that there's no metal flex involved or shenanigans from shitty trigger linkages
yeah
there are a handful of good designs
some of them rely on sear based pin drops
i.e. the trigger group is still in the handguard, but the pin assy is linked with a long L bracket that catches on the sear
The only thing that has bothered me about bullpups is a assessablity of the magazine. If there was a way to do a mag change while keeping the barrel pointed at what i was engaging it would be more appealing.
It might just be something to practice but i dont think i have every seen some able to do this
Maybe it is just because all i have every really trained with was an M4
@DanConway
I guess that's the problem.
If you find someone who only trained in bullpups, they might reach a similar conclusion
there are a few tactics
I feel the setbacks generally outweigh the advantages from a civilian perspective
in a bolt gun it's not too much of a pain
@DanConway Maybe top feeding LMGs can make a comback in bullpup form? No need for a decent trigger pull on those
doubtful
I think the AR style platform will see material changes for about the next 30-40 years until there's some breakthrough
from the GPMG perspective, it's gonna be all belts
from the SAW-style things; it'll probably just be standard rifle body + different barrel + larger mags
The Marines have gone back to sort of a WWII style LMG with the IAR.
Interesting that we and the russians (RPK) came to similar conclusions on firepower
I heard you talkin shit on creedmoor lol
Where?
Idk maybe I misread it haha
I dunno if I would call the IAR "ww2 style"
I think he means a mag fed support gun like the bar
I don't think they had anything that would fit into the role that was less than 10 lbs
yeah
Rather than belt
That's definitely what I'm talking about in reference to the SAW getting nuked for the most part
There just isn't enough of a need for shitloads of suppressive fire in modern combat
Plus I guess large mags are easier to carry than drums
I wish I had more time to shoot. My groupings are shit across the board
for 6.5?
For literally everything I own
I probably should have used it as a stepping stone, but I decided I didn't want to just be at 1200
I wanted to push high energy further
Pistol, creedmoor dmr
Later this week my vector comes in and I'll probably be shit with that too
