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
surefire's 60's are pretty nice
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
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
My handloads got me a .4-something group
but it's still not enough
I need a shitload of US869
it did really fucking well for me
I didn't prepare a ladder for it though, just retumbo + 300gr smk
Also, I have a single 100yd range to shoot at, while the local 600 and 800 yard ranges costs a Saudi fortune to shoot at
no local BLM?
?
That's where I go when I want to shoot elr
Well, I dunno if you're amereagan, but since you're talking about a vector I'm assuming you probably are
Yes
Bureau of land management
Oh
i.e. federally controlled land
