Somewhat better, but you get maybe one burst off and you'd better have another gun or that's it.

[Rictor]

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

[FreeTerran]

I want this



its an M16A1 with a 40mm M203 grenade launcher

[Rictor]

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?

[Stryke 9]

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?

Its from an anime I think,though I think they make airsoft gun wth that design

Ghost in the Shell. It also has a very cool assault gun, which lookskindda like this one:


hmm, that might be apple seed actually, if I remember right Shirow used the same weapon manufacturer's name for all his mangas.

[Rictor]

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 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:


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, it drove away under its own power. Pretty cool, wonder why the Americans arent using this stuff yet.

[Nico]

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.

[Petrarch of the VBB]

Get me a Barret Light-Fifty, and a high vantage point, and no-one is safe.

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?

[Stryke 9]

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.

[kasperl]

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.

[Stryke 9]

Cool.

[Rictor]

And even more cool, considering it Russian, and not being used by the Yankee pig dogs;)
