    Honestly, just polymer telescoped cased rounds (the ones that are cylinders) are perfectly fine. Steyr got them to work back in the late 1980s in the ACR. The vertically moving chamber enables the new round being loaded to push out the one in the chamber, which eliminates a bunch of firearm...

    It's most problematic on the KelTec RDB. Most of the others have the ejection port behind the chamber and usually big enough to dig out a round. The Steyr AUG has the removable barrel as a cheat malfunction clearing mechanism.

    The Iraqis got and used a ton of VHS-2s, the Israelis use the Tavor all the time in their forever war with the Palestinians.

    There is, it's just that no one can make one in the US because ATF. It's a solenoid FCG. That said, the AUG has been getting a lot of new aftermarket attention from small startups like ARID and Titus 3D2A, who've been making a decent amount of trigger related parts that reduce the slop and...

    Steyr fucking finally gets around to announcing the thing they've had on the box for years now: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iceg_rnEkCA .300 Blackout AUGs/barrels officially coming to US. No release date, but a 6 position gas regulator (normal, low velocity, adverse, adverse+, adverse++...

    Most arms in Europe are probably being funneled to Ukraine, so there's going to be an extra price premium on them in general. Sneaking one into France is just going to add extra costs to it.

    Metal Storm would've been better off using their tech to make viable caseless weapons that load out of conventional mags.

    Well, Textron was well on the way to making such a rifle, but they apparently ran into some problems with their polymer telescoped round firing rifle. It seems to work just fine out of machine guns, from what I've seen. Not sure what the problem was, but I'm pretty sure Steyr didn't have it...

    Honestly, if you have an AR and a conventionally laid out shotgun, you're better off with the AR. Most shotguns don't come with adjustable stocks, leading to fucking horrible lengths of pull that require you to fire from the hip if you can't shoulder the damn things. Bullpup shotguns might be...

    A lot of that is copyright/trademark stuff, plus the fact that making accurate receivers for these guns takes fucking forever with a 3D printer. And that assumes the printing process doesn't get fucked up somehow. Funny you should say that:

    Something for the bullpup lovers with a tight budget and access to a 3D printer: It does require a Foxtrot Mike side charging upper, but that's ~$600 or less with a complete upper and often a lower parts kit included. If you've already got a printer and the filament, I think the build cost...

    To be real, given how suspicious it was that bad things always happened around the time of votes on repealing suppressor regulations, I don't have a lot of faith in that working. Maybe if there's some kind of thing that requires all existing laws to get revoted on or get tossed in the trash...

    Here's some other weird shit that's probably pricey AF, but is at least doing something interesting: Details As you first heft the RIA 5.0, you notice immediately this is unlike your typical combat pistol. For starters, the barrel is square … on the outside. The inside is round and rifled...

    IIRC, 9mm is fine through anything up to a 16 inch barrel. After that, it starts losing velocity. Since this is a rifle under the NFA, that's fine. The freefloat tubes do increase accuracy, and I guess the sights would be pretty good if you're not going to slap a red dot/prism sight on it.

    POF has decided to spill spaghetti: The Tombstone 9MM is POF-USA’s take on a lever-action rifle. Tombstone is a modern-lever-action chambered in a pistol caliber, initially offered in 9MM. The rifle comes with the same proven 20-round standard magazine, or optional 10-round, that accompanies...

    Brazil uses NATO ammo, which IIRC Israel produces. I'm not sure if Russia produces NATO calibers, but they could probably get a lot of it through various means. Honestly, the most likely scenario for Russia and Israel to help Brazil is to produce anything their domestic small arms industries...
