I’m just talking shit, I had no idea what it was short of a generic milsurp bolt gun

>milsurp
>generic

What

They’re all different, that’s the point of collecting

I was thinking he broke even or got fudded

Shit's going up in price though

If you look at how many nations used a Mauser I can't judge him for not knowing exactly what it was without marks

Same, I wouldn't be able to know them all

And how many nations still use a mauser action

Mausers are big dick energy

Just watching Demo Ranch's Auto Mag video

The .30 Carbine pistol has giggle factor for me

Hmm

1871, 71 Jaeger, 71/84, ottoman 93, Spanish 93, Swedish 95, Spanish 95, argentine 95, more South American 95’s I can’t remember, which lead to the 1903 and from that the P13 and P14, the G98, Czech 98’s yugo 98’s, Thai and Chinese 98’s the M1917, K98k, postwar yugo 98’s

Swedish m38 plz

This doesn’t include carbines or things that are too far derived like the Arisaka

That’s just what I remember, there’s fucking hundreds of variations

Paul Mauser, and to a lesser extent, Peter, changed the fucking *world*

@Reichtangle good thing I don’t collect milsurp. They all look like ye olde ancient bolt action to me.

Arisakas are actually really legit rifles

Polygonal rifling and built tougher than any other rifle at the time

Aren't the 7.7 ones shit?

Also I'd like to propose a new term "Neo-fudds", which describes persons that firmly assume conventional firearms are the pinnacle of firearm technology, and will continually bitch and moan for innovation, while simultaneously shitcanning any innovations. They also clutch an armory of damn near identical AR's and AK's. Firmly against caseless/polymer/telescoped rounds and anything not built on the AR/AK platform as "unnecessary".

ok but poly rounds are shit

ok neo-fudd

nigga

do you know why we still use brass/steel

No, I've seen the write-up for the new lightweight weapon system

And don't give me the "muh heatsink" bullshit

I would love caseless ammo tbh

but you saw how the g11 ammo was

@Benis No 7.7 was roughly equivalent to modern .308. 6.5 Arisaka was the domestic Japanese round that sucked aboslute ass.

@Innaswamp You mean the rounds that everybody forgets had an entirely new explosive developed from the ground up for, and worked perfectly afterwards?

yes

The same rounds that had a cookoff temp ABOVE conventional rounds after the new explosive

I thought the production quality with the 7.7 went way down due to the war

late war sure

Or the fact that the modern poly telescoped rounds in the Army's new light SAW program have a higher heat tolerance and lower heat transfer than conventional rounds

While being something like 33% lighter

And more accurate

And cheaper
