found this with google.. i was trying to look up some 'real world' weapons for use in foxfire.. so i figured some of those who'd want to draw weapons and such would be interested in this..
ummm... yeah:nervous:
http://world.guns.ru (it has an english version)
oh yeah.. look familiar?

-
Thats the FN2000, AFAIK, and yes it does look familiar. A version similar to that one was used in Splinter Cell, thought it was named something else if I recall
-
FN2000 in splinter cell..
now i WANT this
(http://world.guns.ru/assault/oicw.jpg)
-
The OICW. It seems to try to do too much, I mean look at the size of the thing. It tries to be everything to everyone, typical American product thinking: "bigger is better"'
Give me an HKG36 instead. Its got 3x sights and can be mounted with a grenade launcher. Plus, its VERY reliable. I think that the OICW has the G36 at its core
-
The OICW is not even operational yet, and won't be until 2009. It uses standard 5.56 NATO rounds, and fires a 23 MM grenade ( I think), that can be detonated at any time in the air, using the on-board computer and a microchip inside the grenade. Using this method, it can clear an enemy trench in seconds, as it flies overhead and dtonates, sending shrapnel down onto the unsuspecting troops below. It also has a computer tracking system, hopefully an IR-viewing/targeting system, an incredible weapon that won't, unfortunately, be in service for a long time.
-
mind you, would you want it pointed at you..?:p
this is nice too... HKg11.. it fires caseless ammo
(http://world.guns.ru/assault/g11.jpg)
-
It looks fugly.
Why don't you use the normal weapons? Like Uzi, Desert Eagle .50, etc.?
I know you are trying to give it some flare, but then how about using some of your own designs?
-
Yup, G11 rocks. I suspect it never got off the ground due to politics, cause it was a kickass weapon way ahead of its time
-
i was actually eyeballing this one..
(http://world.guns.ru/smg/fn_p90.jpg)
or this
(http://world.guns.ru/smg/mac10.jpg)
and one or two of these

as well as other assorted weapons..
here's some details on the g11..

-
The bottom one is just...it's just...me! :D
-
i've updated that little list... look again..
it was the Desert eagle right?
i didn't know uzis were Israeli made
(http://world.guns.ru/smg/uzi.jpg)
-
Yup. For looks, I prefer either the FAMAS or the IMI Tavor. As for pistols, the Walther P99 is sweet.
For functionality, I'de say HK G36 (rifle), P90 (submachine gun) and Glock (pistol).
Turnsky, if you're looking for cool gun designs, check these out

http://www.poseidon.co.jp/2F/mn-23/mn1.html
Its from an anime I think,though I think they make airsoft gun wth that design

Yea, it was the eagle, I love the long barreled look of that bad-ass gun.
-
(http://www.magnumresearch.com/old/images/440_cor_bon%20(2).jpg)
10 inch barrel.. fit a scope on it;)
-
Nothing like a classic...
(http://world.guns.ru/sniper/svd_new.jpg)
By the way, what's with all these light guns? Don't you, say, want some mass to the thing to help deal with recoil?
-
And that would be...? Kinda looks like a Dragunov, but I dont think it is
Something unsettling about Strke taking an interest in guns, especially snipers:nervous: :nervous:
-
New-model Dragunov. They're still outdated, but they're about the only sniper-level gun available on the civilian market. And dude, sniper rifles come with the territory if you're a photographer and also a violent, gun-happy person.
My question is, why wasn't this (http://world.guns.ru/shotgun/sh10-e.htm) ever developed? I mean, an automatic shotgun!
-
(http://world.guns.ru/machine/fn-m2hb.jpg)
'nuff said;)
and stryke,
http://world.guns.ru/shotgun/sh16-e.htm
http://world.guns.ru/shotgun/sh18-e.htm
but, you're right, the pancor rocks;)
-
Pleh, SAWs are cute, but when it takes more than one person to operate it, what's the fun? Might as well go for a tank, at that point...
-
http://world.guns.ru/shotgun/SH09-E.HTM
-
Somewhat better, but you get maybe one burst off and you'd better have another gun or that's it.
-
And what do you photograph, other than fellow violent, gun happy people and the odd victim of the aforementioned?
Ok, imagine a machine gun. Now imagine that instead of bullets, it fires grenades.
The HK GMG

Go Krauts. Their love of war never ends. If they cant fight, atleast they can make the weapons.
-
There's no such thing as a surprise coming from H&K. Hell, if you threw one of their cheap promotional ballpoint pens at somebody, it'd probably kill them, their extended family, and set their house on fire..

LOL...reminds me of the "art of not being seen" sketch by monty python :D
-
I want this
(http://world.guns.ru/assault/m16a1_m203.jpg)
its an M16A1 with a 40mm M203 grenade launcher :D
-
For a change, how about someone posting some bulletproof vests. They've walays interested me, but I never did any research or anything, into which one is the best and exactly what it can stop. Any vests out there that can stop an assult rifle bullet?
BTW, anyone seen Bowling for Columbine?
-
There's two kinds- the 160-ton tank kind, and the kevlar kind. Within both types, everything's roughly equally effective.
Kevlar basically just means you're slightly less dead than if you didn't wear the jacket. High-velocity and coated bullets will just go right through that ****, and either way you've got a cracked rib at absolute best.
Also, they're banned out this way, while most civilian-issue guns aren't. Someone care to make sense of that one?

Ghost in the Shell. It also has a very cool assault gun, which lookskindda like this one:
(http://world.guns.ru/smg/fn_p90.jpg)
hmm, that might be apple seed actually, if I remember right Shirow used the same weapon manufacturer's name for all his mangas.
-
Thats it, Appleseed. I can never remember those wierd Japanese names, seems to me they just put 2 words together. As well, the Israeli Tavor looks alot like that gun, thats why I like it. Sandwich might actually know a bit about the Tavor, since he's likely to have used it.
Anyways, yeah, about Kevlar...Is it really banned? What excellent logic:rolleyes: :rolleyes:
I sort of remember reading about some uber-vest a few years back, when I had this *interested in guns* phase. Supposedly it stopped bullets from handguns at point blank, something else, cant really remember the name.
And for anyone interested, I read story a few months ago about how the British invented some really cool anti-rocket armour for their tanks. Basically, under the armour, there is an area (maybe a plate) of supercharged...stuff. Since most RPGs dont explode on contact, but rather "bore" into the tank, when they reach this supercharged layer, they are instantly disintegrated. I remember reading about how the Brits applied this new armour to one of their APC, then fired about 5-10 RPGs at it, and the APC was still intact, infact it drove away under its own power. Pretty cool, wonder why the Americans arent using this stuff yet.
-
coz there's more flaws than what they wanted to say, most likely.
I have yet to see the invulnerable tank.
as for the name AppleSeed, there's an explanation in the manga, tho I don't remember it, and I don't feel like looking after it.

Probably because they're still testing it. It's not like they need it out on the vehicles as of yesterday.
-
Get me a Barret Light-Fifty, and a high vantage point, and no-one is safe.:D
Although I would settle for an AGS-17 automatic grenade launcher.

Actually, its because RPGs use superheated copper to melt through armour, but when that armour is electrically charged, it produces a magnetic field which stops the copper.
Main reason is not used yet, is its probably still be tested and refined for production.

what do you think happens to infantry marching along side that?
-
They'd kinda be busy getting shot at. Besides, an RPG is only about as effective against infantry as the average grenade, so they'd kinda be in trouble in such a heavy attack anyway.
-
from what i read, this reminds me more of the Russian Explosive Reactoipn Armor or something. just plates of semtex with a detonater and a piece of metal on them, detonating the moment something hit it. and killing infantry around the tank with it.
-
Cool.
-
And even more cool, considering it Russian, and not being used by the Yankee pig dogs;) ;)
