Over on the other forum that shall not be mentioned by name there was a discussion topic about Pimp My Gun or something like that. Anyway, here is the link to Pimp My AirSoft (http://dragonflyteam.free.fr/pimpmyairsoft/)
Some variations on the AR-15/AR-10 theme that I created using the link above:
(http://a3.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-prn1/19162_242509528531_722638531_3122524_1987514_n.jpg)
It is simple enough to use and actually kind of fun to build a better firearm in the digital world. This link will take you to my FaceBook Album Pimp My Gun (http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.188603273531.125856.722638531&type=3&l=b88e68f210) which contains a few images derived from the Pimp My Gun page.

Instructions on how to use Pimp My AirSoft.
HOW TO ...
1. Wait for the page to load fully (1 mn or more) until to see "amusez vous bien" box ("enjoy" in French)
2. At the top of the page is a square with a "PIMP MY AIRSOFT" title. That's your work area.
3. At the middle of the page is a selection of guns. Click on a family.
4. Parts will appear at the bottom of the page.
5. Double click the part to put it in your work area. You can also drag it to your work area or around it (but the parts (out) won't appear on the final picture.
6. To delete a part, right click the part and click 'EFFACEZ'
7. To put a part forward an other , right click the part and click "mettre devant"
8. when satisfied with your creation, click the "CONSTRUIRE" box.
9. a Doll Maker page will load, with a small error. Click OK...then your creation is display! Click the diskette icon or right click to save to your HD

I forgot or neglected to add this link yesterday for the other "Pimp My Gun" page that I had saved to my bookmarks.
The other page is called Pimp My Gun (http://pimpmygun.doctornoob.com/) and it has a variety of firearms subjects to choose from. This page has seen some upgrades and improvements unlike the Pimp My AirSoft page which does not show any updates. This page now has a "new" and "old" version to play with. The new version does not have all of the same inventory as the old version so you will need to play with both versions to see what is offered.
Here is an example of what can be put together from Pimp My Gun (http://pimpmygun.doctornoob.com/) with minimal effort:

Nifty stuff Jeff. Quite a range of weapons & attachments there.
Thanks for sharing.

I really like the one you made to look like an FLN. Nice work, Mr Fontaine!

For home defence. Naturally.
Silencer so not to wake the neighbors.
.45 ACP so not to go thru walls and harm said neighbors!
Light to make sure the poor bastard that broke into my house in the middle of the night won't see whats coming. Bonus-having light to see cats in middle of night, not stepping on one, and alerting poor bastard.
Green laser because, well you know, lasers are FRICKIN' COOL!

Another one to keep the annoying neighbor down the street quiet, without waking anybody. (flashlight there again to keep cats safe)

Another handy tool for keeping the zombies at bay. Pretty much a stock .45ACP H&K USP (or was it the Mk 23 SOCOM) pistol with a can and a light or laser under the frame. Nothing fancy but definitely good for thumping things that need thumping.

Good thing you put suppressors on those. Otherwise you'd burn your fingers on the muzzle blast (flash would be selling it short). :D
Also diggin' the folding stock on the G3. Friend of mine said he found the collapsible "para" stock on the G3 always a little on the rickety side.
-
Thanks for your thoughts Moritz. There were actually cases in Vietnam where ASASR troops took the long flash suppressors off their XM-177s specifically to create a large muzzle flash to intimidate their VC opponents. ???
Anyhoo, here's some slightly more 'normal' conversions.

I don't know, but I'm starting to have a thing for M16 and its derivative, particularly the designated marksman or sniper variants.
Maybe it's because the baseline gun is widespread...... and because I keep on hearing people saying that it sucks....... and therefore I view any attempt to reinvent/redeem the family as positively aggressive. :D
-
One of the predominant problems with the M16 family is the direct gas system. HK (& others) have rectified that with a conventional piston which has resulted in much more reliable weapons. I also think some of the stigma associated with the M16 family stems from its earliest issues when it was marketed as a 'self cleaning gun' and the problems that came with that mentality.

As I made those two PMG pics, I was also thinking of a character that I used when playing text-based RPG on an anime forum in the past...... and that character is set up as a gun nut who likes to whack her opponents with solid stocks, too. :D

====================================================
The AR57 seems like a fun idea when paired with a rail-mounted M203...... :kaboom:
-
I liked the idea of the AR57. Given the longer barrel, a 5.7mm bullet should have some decent performance behind it.

Nice stuff Donny. I was playing with the idea of mixing & matching parts. It's just a pity that said parts aren't well labelled in some instances.
Anyhoo, great minds think alike it seems with an SL-9SD amongst others from me.

What I based that rifle on was actually more of the predecessor SL8, intended to fire the same 5.56mm NATO Mk 262 rounds as the Mk 12 SPR does (hence the "SPR Wannabe" in the name :D); it does have a heavier barrel.
I mix items from both apps because certain components from the old app either work better for the way I arrange things (for often-occuring example, the bipods) or remain unimplemented in the new app altogether (like handguns and the MC51). Or, to a rarer extent, vice-versa (such as the transparent magazine on that SG552 Commando in my Photobucket gallery; there is none so I had to modify the G36 one from the new app).
(Meaning the SL8 mod would undergo another Photoshop session once someone implements that thumbhole stock in the new app.)
The only problem is that items in old app don't seem to be drawn to the same scale as those in the new app. Some re-scaling needs to be done (IIRC, new app items are about 12~13% larger; I can ignore such a difference for mounting mere accessories...... not so much if it was an essential item) in one of the apps before exporting to jpeg.
Would be nice, too, if they implement both the PSG-1 and MSG-90 in the new app. Then I'd get to do some mix-and-match in a more-conventional sense. :want:

M16A2 has a lengthened stock (16mm longer, according to Wikipedia) compared to the M16A1. Would someone tell me why?
(http://i846.photobucket.com/albums/ab22/dy031101/PMG/coltM656Custom_Suppressed.jpg)
I actually PSed it from a M16A1 a while ago, just adding an aftermarket grip and an A2 stock now.
-
Troops with longer arms???
-
Troops with longer arms???
The thought does cross my mind, but then I start wondering why they waited until A2 to take it into account......
-
Perhaps it also stemmed from the original AR-15's 'survival rifle' origins.
Anyhoo here's some more PMG stuff:

I see......
(http://i846.photobucket.com/albums/ab22/dy031101/PMG/scopedShotgun.jpg)
Dark grey shell is a slug, whitish-grey shell is a CS gas canister, and the green shell is meant to depict a FRAG-12 (http://www.defensereview.com/auto-assault-12-shotgunfrag-12-high-explosive-round-comboweapon-system/)......
Just for fun......
I'm wondering, though, how easy it would be to modify the CS gas and grenade shells for spin stabilization so that they can be fired out of a rifled slug shotgun......
Wikipedia states that modern shotguns tend to be able swap between rifled and smoothbore barrel in under a minute...... then would the installed optics require adjustment after each barrel swap?
Would the QLB-06/QLZ-87B grenade launcher (http://world.guns.ru/grenade/ch/qlb-06-qlz-7b-e.html) be an alternative?
-
In truth, the various shells have significantly different tactical applications, so trying to streamline them into one system would be disadvantageous in my opinion. A scoped shotgun is obviously appropriate for slugged ammo, but the scope becomes superfluous for CS or FRAG-12 applications. Equally, a tactically equipped smoothbore is inappropriate for a slugged round.
Swapping out barrels & sighting blocks is the obvious choice for one platform. Not that hard, but one wouldn't take both into the field, unless you had a dual barrelled weapon perhaps.
Realistically, a slug round isn't that advantageous over other conventional weapons. It'll hit hard, true enough, but with limited range, how is it any better than an M4 or other AR?
Regards,
John

For my PMG gallery, the day I added to it an AR fed by AK-47 magazines was after 2011's Boxing Day......
But for me, it was Tuesday.
(http://i846.photobucket.com/albums/ab22/dy031101/PMG/marck15Hydra_AK-Mag.jpg)
(http://i846.photobucket.com/albums/ab22/dy031101/PMG/ar47.jpg)
The top one is modelled after the newer (and allegedly more expensive) MARCK-15 Hydra (http://www.mgi-military.com/), whereas the bottom one is modelled after AR-47 lower receiver (http://www.ar-47.com/), which is said to accept "simpler" non-proprietary 7.62 x 39mm upper receivers (Hydra is designed for proprietary uppers from the same company, albeit available in variety of different calibres).
I found neither lending themselves well to the use of M203 though- AR-47 due to the AK magazine's curve, and MARCK-15 does not appear to accept aftermarket RIS. Granted, my amateur fascination prefers muzzle-launched rifle grenades......

Shotguns are both a favorite and speciality of mine. I will admit that I am about 20 years behind ,when I was using them in combat we had buckshot and slugs :zombie: However ,my brother was a cop of 35 years and I have always loved the shotgun as a combat weapon so I am kind of up on stuff.
First off no military shotgun needs a scope of any kind. Scopes, for shotgun slugs, are strictly a hunting application to make the most accurate shot to not cause suffering to an animal.
Second , the most accurate shotgun slugs available are only good out to a maximum of about 125 yards. Any good ghost ring iron site will give you all the combat accuracy you need.
On barrels. A properly set up, back bored , smooth bore ,well choked barrel with nice sights is sufficient to make slug hits on a torso out to 75 yards.
I had an 18 inch, back bored ,barrel that would keep 8 00 buckshot in 14 inches at 50 yards and shoot 5 inch groups with Brenneke slugs at 100 yards.

John

Does anyone have a more-clear picture or even just line drawing of this combination?
(This scheme looks like it would work great for CQBR and Colt SMG......)
-
Thanks for the info John. I'd seen discussions in some magazines back in the 80s about the use of slugged shotguns as 'sniper' type weapons in an urban setting, but perhaps that was just the musings of the writer rather than a serious thought. I've always been led to believe that a rifled barrel is the most appropriate for a slug round rather than the conventional smoothbore, but since it can be used, different ammo types become a possiblity. Once again though, the range of the round versus any conventional round tends to detract from its effectiveness.
Donny, the CAR-15 & 203 was a combo I first saw in the 80s, prior to the introduction of the M4. The photo, however mentions it as an M203PI which is the Product Improved model. The rifle is definitely an older, pre M4 weapon, as evidenced by the barrel & fixed carrying handle. The mount itself is a PI mount instead of the standard mount seen on the weapon in the 80s because it's fixed below the foreguard of the weapon rather than replacing part of it. As for it's application, pretty much any modern AR can be tooled up to hang a 203 off, even bullpup weapons or MP5 SMGs. See here: http://m203pi.com/home.htm (http://m203pi.com/home.htm)

I was just wondering if there is a mounting method that looks a bit more tidy than attaching to the short rail.
But I suppose the rail would probably still be fine, being used to display a Shirke SAW configuration in a picture below.
The bottom picture looks as if it's based on the XM177......
-
Donny,
The PI rail is quite adequate, especially with shorter 9" barrel on the 203.
The XM/203 combo is an odd one as the mount doesn't look like the normal mount from that era. I wonder if it is a civilian conversion or even another military's. I have seen a Vietnam era XM mounted with a GL, but can't recall if it was an early XM148 or 203 (I do suspect the former though). The pic in question is within my references, but they are in storage.
Anyhoo, on with more PMG stuff:

The XM/203 combo is an odd one as the mount doesn't look like the normal mount from that era.
Timeframe of its existence does not concern me so long as it is "eligible" within the premise of a Half-Life doujin...... :D
Anyway...... if PMG had implemented wooden textures as a colouring option, it'd have gone well with this one:

Any H&K G11s coming guys?
-
Greg,
None of the Pimp sites have G11s available at this point. For myself, it's a bit 'plain jane' as there'd be little you could do with it beyond maybe a different sight or GL.
And with that, here's some more:

Yup, Maverick is correct on it not existing in any of the PMG templates.
I do wonder what the circled item is (wondering if it is essential enough such that a Picatinny rail can't take its place)......
-
As I understand it, the item you have circled is part of the magazine for the gun. You probably wouldn't want to mount anything there anyway, unless it was separate to the magazine.
-
It would appear that you are correct (see attachment). Dang.
Then I personally can only think of Picatinny rails on the scope rings themselves for now (when someone implements the rifle in PMG)......

Took a break and tried out the new version of PMG this afternoon. It is a bit on the conservative side since I was learning what I could do with the features.

Please scroll a bit further down (http://beyondthesprues.com/Forum/index.php?topic=71.msg2338#msg2338) for the pic.

I like the 203 parts on the EGLM of the ACR. For some reason, the 'real' EGLM/SCAR combo looks clunky to me.

New item is on top- XM8 in grenadier form. SCAR and ACR were kept alongside...... well, maybe for comparison.
Even though it's just my best guesstimation based on photos, it was a pain in the butt to modify......
(Belated) Happy New Year!
-
Always thought the XM8 was a nice looking weapon. Pity they deep-sixed it. But then the SCAR-L got dumped too which was a bit of a surprise. I'd suggest though Donny, that the GL looks a little large on the weapon.
Here's some more of mine:

It burns me out...... :dizzy:
I would appreciate some guidance.
-
Compared to that photo, it looks perfectly in scale. Other pics I'd seen of the XM8/M320 combo made it look a shade smaller (& I mean a shade) but they were art of the weapon rather than photos. With that, your profile looks perfect against the photo & given the photo is 'real', I concur.
Regards,
John
-
The XM8's choice of muzzle-brakes/flash-hiders kinda puzzles me, too.
Both M16A2-style and G36-style ones exist, and I am confused as to which one the definitive infantry/grenadier carbine was to use.
-
G'day Donny,
From what I've seen, the 'carbine' variants have the G36 type flash suppressor, whilst the AR, LMG and Sharpshooters have an M16 type cage. The only art I have for the grenadier variant is attached to a carbine with the former flash suppressor.
As for 'definitive', since the weapon was never fielded, one could surmise that either would be appropriate
Here's some more from me:

===============================================
See here (http://beyondthesprues.com/Forum/index.php?topic=71.msg2615#msg2615).
I remember someone other than Z-M doing a side-folding AR in 5.56 x 45 mm...... but I can't remember who.
-
Once again, real pic vs art seems to suggest that the M16 flash hider was the preferred device. Either way, we'll never know given the weapon won't be fielded.
The only problem with an M16 based receiver is the buffer tube, which precludes any sort of collapsible stock beyond the types we've seen available (eg: Std, Crane, LMT, etc). A side folder can't work because of the tube.
Whilst 5.56mm NATO carbines have been built with side-folders and other types of stocks, they won't have that receiver design. Your two pics highlight this rather nicely. The upper 'CAR-15' type stock shows the buffer tube quite correctly in position with the stock collapsing onto it, whilst the lower pic with the side-fold stock neglects to remember the tube or suggests a Z-M style gas system.

That "other" side-folder, IIRC, preserved most of the original AR's "look". Granted, it's ancient memories now, and this impression can all be memories playing tricks on me.
Anyway...
(http://i846.photobucket.com/albums/ab22/dy031101/PMG/m16TypeSMG_SideFolder.jpg)
... going the Z-M way somewhat after all...... the problem I was having is that I want to preserve the look of the M4/CQBR's front sight post- it's to me in majority of the cases too iconic to get rid of (and I want to stay close to the source of inspiration (http://safebooru.org/index.php?page=post&s=view&id=499361), too), so I made the rear sight a permanent fixture as well. :D
Further comments would be appreciated.
-
(http://i846.photobucket.com/albums/ab22/dy031101/PMG/spr_Alt.jpg)
This one has its upper receiver modelled after one (http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/showpost.php?p=13750439&postcount=7) with side-mounted charging handle (http://www.americanspiritarms.com/upper-receivers/asa-ar-15-m4-side-charger-upper-receiver-without-carrier/). I couldn't find any photo of any example that has a forward assist though...... maybe the product line just doesn't have one. :dizzy:

Nifty stuff Donny. I had to have a giggle about the comments regarding the GP-25/M-4 combo though. It's art of an anime type figure and one responder is asking why the combo? Obviously not a whiffer!

Something old, something new, nothing borrowed and it sure looks cool...
Decided to see what I could do with the good old Thompson M1A1 sub-machine gun with the following additions and modifications:
Heavy barrel
Front sight
Quick point rear sight
Quick-Detach sound suppressor
Handguard with front grip and flashlight
Picatinny Rail on the top of the receiver to allow other accessories to be mounted
It looks quite menacing and will surely be a show stopper in any fire fight or attempted burglary
-
I think if it had a folding stock of some description or perhaps a skeleton stock, one would think it to be some new design rather than a Thompson. Great work Jeff.
Regards,
John
-
I was toying with the idea of a folding stock but was not satisfied with the selection or types that were available.

Different gun and different accessory, but I'm thinking of this (http://safebooru.org/index.php?page=post&s=view&id=188223) when doing the following picture:

^ What's that behind the bi-pod? Some kind of fore-grip? Looks odd.
I was toying with the idea of a folding stock but was not satisfied with the selection or types that were available.
Don't know whether PMG has it, but how about the "MP 5 foldable visor helmet stock" by Brügger & Thomet? It's specifically designed to facilitate weapon aiming by an operator equipped with a helmet with big visor (as often used by SWAT teams).
In case of the Thompson, it'd look suitably modern, but still retain the Thompson's peculiar look of the "low-slung" stock.

The so-called angled fore grip (http://store.magpul.com/product/MAG411/88).
-

Moritz, it's a Magpul AFG (Angled Fore Grip). See here: http://store.magpul.com/product/MAG411/117 (http://store.magpul.com/product/MAG411/117)
I actually think they're a bit odd as one can grip the forestock on most longarms without recourse to another grip and the shooting position seems even moreso off to my mind. Magpul's explanation is a 'Theory Based' product rather than a modification of an existing one, but I'd suggest that would lead to major issues in training in the first instance let alone retraining for experienced shooters.

John

That folding stocks looks like it might work for the modified Thompson.
In that second image I notice the 'operator' is packing a large frame revolver on his hip with a flashlight attachment affixed to the butt of the weapon. Any idea if this is a .357 Magnum or something larger like a .44 Magnum? Looks like a stainless steel or alloy frame since it is lighter color than the surrounding holster and certainly not blued steel.

The guy is a member of the MEK (Mobiles Einsatzkommando) Hamburg, the SWAT unit of Hamburg's Polizei. They use Smith & Wesson K-Frame .357 Magnum revolvers. One source says models 13/65, another says models 19/66.

Can not see the rear sight on the weapon so it is a tough call. It could be either frame type (Model 19/66 or Model 13/65).

I attempted to combine the SVD's stock, trigger placement, and trigger guard with the rest of the SVDS (this could be done only via Photoshop, of course).
And then add a Doctor red dot sight to the scope.

Maverick's work eventually got me into doing ARs with an integral suppressor......
(http://i846.photobucket.com/albums/ab22/dy031101/PMG/ar15_bullBarrelAndIntegralSuppressor_battleRifleMode.jpg)
Originally it's to be with a sniper scope, but I've put out boat loads of those already, so this one gets battle rifle treatment with Aimpoint red dot sight and magnifying unit. I was also trying to present a "bull barrel" (no taper behind suppressor and gas block), most of which ending up covered by the handguard...... :P
(http://i846.photobucket.com/albums/ab22/dy031101/PMG/ar47_integralSuppressor_carbine.jpg)
Inspired by the following videos:
Ep.6 pt.1 AK-47 Silencer (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VtTv26SuFOA#ws)
Ep.6 pt.2 AK-47 Silencer (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AP7uzE2Y5sE#ws)
This one uses a standard contour barrel and, due to the AR47 lower receiver, 7.62 x 39mm chambering. It's set up for a carbine (Krinkov-equivalent) capacity, so Magpul CTR stock is used.
I hope I'm presenting 16" barrels correctly for both guns as well.
-
If you have not viewed the videos from FPS Russia's Channel at YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/user/FPSRussia) I suggest you get over there and watch them all. Aside from the entertainment value and things blowing up this guy has been able to get his hands on a number of weapons that I can only dream about. Some of my favorite videos from FPS Russia are the AA-12 fully automatic 12guage shotgun and the 40mm Bofors (yes, 40mm Bofors) which definitely does some serious damage even with inert training ammunition.
The most recent upload from this guy is a video on the AAC Honey Badger SBR (Short Barrel Rifle) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zn3KCSm3ui4#ws) with integrated sound suppressor.
The Honey Badger fires the AAC designed 300 Blackout 7.62X35 cartridge (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/300_BLACKOUT_(7.62x35mm)).

The exploding zombie targets are very entertaining!
-
The attached picture is also a 16" barrel with integral suppressor.
Which brings me a question: does the word "integral" merely mean that the suppressor is one-piece with the barrel (meaning I have to extend the suppressor of my previous works to maybe the over of a 20" barrel rifle...... I only hope that I can keep the carbine-length gas system in this case), or does the length of the integral suppressor count within the length of the barrel as well?
-
Donny, most integral suppressors I've seen have a short barrel which the suppressor wraps around. The suppressor is usually quite long in comparison to this barrel whilst the barrel itself is usually quite short compared with an unsuppressed weapon of the same design. Whilst the suppressor can be removed for stripping, it's certainly part of the weapon proper. I believe that in most instances, the ported barrel (ie: one with holes or slots drilled into it to vent the gases) and the suppressor are seperate components.
There is usually a difference in design with purpose designed suppressed weapons vs regular firearms redesigned for an integral suppressor though.
In all of this, if the bullet isn't a subsonic load for a rifle type cartridge, the weapon won't be 'silent' (quite few are in real life) and regardless of the bullet report, the action of the weapon will still be 'noisy'.
The DeLisle silent carbine apparently has the lowest signature of any suppressed weapon, but the bolt to reload the rifle is quite noisy by all accounts. It should be noted here that it was a 45cal weapon with subsonic bullets, rather than a rifle calibre, supersonic bullet weapon.
Regards,
John

I guess it means that I'll be lengthening the suppressor after all...... ???
The AR15 will be up to date at around 2100 EST thanks to the way Photobucket works......
As for the AR47...... I'll treat it as a Krinkov-equivalent then.

I wandered over to the Pimp My Air-Soft page and tried to create something and discovered to my great displeasure that something is conflicting with the page as it will not show any parts once they have been added to the box that is your work area for assembly of your pimp weapon. If you change to a different weapon or accessory link all of the pieces in the work area disappear. For example, the work area goes empty once you change from say the Barrett M82 to add on a scope from that section, all of the Barrett parts disappear. If you return to the Barrett link the parts reappear in the work area but you can not add parts from any of the other links. I have been using FireFox each time and had no issues with this page previously so it has me wondering if something has gone wrong with the page.
-
Donny, I don't think it's that unrealistic to use the M1943 round as a DMR weapon. The Israelis use CAR-15s! as DMR weapons firing 5.56, so a Russian DMR weapon using their 7.62 or even 5.45 isn't 'odd' in my opinion.
Jeff, I just tried it on both versions with IE and no issues. Knocked up an ACR with a scope, saved ok, knocked up a SCAR-L with a holo sight, saved fine.

I was kinda wondering what the Red Jacket crew (whose boss, like I said, seems to have quite an appreciation for the AK and AK-derived weapons) used to create this AK "Sniper".
Sons of Guns - First 1,000-Yard AK (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bxMXpB_rAYc#ws)
Despite the show only refering to it as an "AK", I'm inclined to agree with the mainstream opinion that the base gun is a Saiga in .308 Winchester. The crew shortened the gas system and added a quad rail, a pistol grip, a match trigger, as well as a Magpul PRS. My awful sense of scale prevented me from guesstimating the length of the barrel though.

I guess I was being an idiot when I first look at your comment.
When I attempted to recreate a XM29 that I did before (replacing the kinetic part with a MP7) in PMAs, I did have a few parts disappearing on me when I switched between weapon templates (like the 25mm barrel or magazines disappearing when I clicked on the MP7 menu).
I had to use Photoshop to add small parts. Fortunately PMAs uses a simpler colour palette set than the PMG does.

I figure...... if a Saiga 30-06 can be dressed up (http://forum.saiga-12.com/index.php?/topic/13147-tromix-3006-pics/) (second and third attachment) like a Tabuk DMR (forth attachment) (except for the magazine since it's a .30-06 rifle we're talking about)...... sounds to me like a wolf in a sheep's clothing (no, I don't mean that Tabuk is a bad weapon; just that a properly-loaded .30-06 sure would make a better sniping round than the 7.62 x 39 mm?) >:D
-
Donny, it also depends on the type of application as to whether a round is suitable enough or not, not just calibre. At moderate ranges (say within an urban environment) a sniper optimised AK variant would be more than adequate. There's also the issue of 'production' rounds vs 'match'. One normally hopes that in a sniper weapon, the latter is being provided. With a DMR type though, I'd assume the former. I've even seen 12g slug shotguns with scopes & bipods set up as urban-sniper weapons.
It's also worth remembering the DMR role is one of 'marksman' rather than 'sniper'. Quite a different utilisation of weapons and different weapons in the first instance. I've previously mentioned that the IDF employed CAR-15s as DMR weapons with bipods, scopes and the like.

John

It would most probably be desirable for a DMR to share ammo with regular infantry weapons (SDM-R, SAM-R, and Tabuk) or GPMG (M14 DMR and Dragunov).
.30-06 would be more like a much weaker version of .300 Winchester Magnum, so in this case I was just thinking of...... something more modest than that Red Jacket contraption. ;D

No Photoshop edit this time......

Certain parts in the new app come as "grouped" items, meaning they have subcomponents that can become individually-selectable when you click on the Ungroup button (with the grouped assembly selected before you click).
To illustrate the point, I copied Scooterman's road rage stopper rifle. Note the SOCOM stock.
The collapsible part of the SOCOM stock becomes individually-selectable after I "ungrouped" the stock.
(http://i846.photobucket.com/albums/ab22/dy031101/PMG/roadRageStopperMkI.jpg)
Other "grouped" assemblies include (but are probably not limited to) iron sights and grenade launchers. So yeah, you can actually mix-and-match the EGLM and M203 components under the PMG environment.

Thanks for that info Donny. I never actually took notice of that function, so it's handy indeed.
Getting back into it, I had some shizengiggles with these couple:

Sniper rounds probably underwent some kind of modification themselves during their transition from being match rounds; or maybe snipers are trained to shoot vital spots whenever possible, so performance after hitting the target might not be as important as performance in "getting there" in the first place?
Just my uneducated guess.
-
Arkon, one reads about 'match grade' ammo rountinely being issued to snipers. In fact, most sniper rifles are designed with that type of ammunition in mind with some more exotic weapons having ammunition developed specifically for the weapon. Whether a company produces match ammo and then suggests it isn't for combat is moot. The sniper will choose the ammunition most suited to his role and that invariably means match grade as the quality control of normal ammunition isn't tight enough to ensure reliability required. Of course that doesn't mean that sniper rifles can't fire normal ammo or that some nations would issue stock ammo to their snipers.
Donny, shot placement is obviously something that snipers train for, but rather than a 'vital spot' they will shoot for centre mass like everyone else should be doing with aimed shots unless they are specifically taking a head shot. The importance of 'getting there' is critical to their role/mission hence the use of match ammo. Whilst wound ballistics and terminal effect is important, the bullet's flight and accuracy are far moreso.

John

i think the ammo ihave says not for combat is because of the hollow point
-
That would be quite understandable. I believe the Geneva Convention specifically states that 'expanding' bullets (ie Hollow Points) are illegal for use within war which would explain the info on your ammo.

On second thought, why not? For some law enforcement scenarios? GL loaded with something non-lethal. And if that still doesn't help.... >:D

I've always been thinking of such a rifle (http://www.imfdb.org/wiki/File:RevolverRifle-1.jpg) except for the use of standard revolver ammunitions and (since suppressor would be pointless in this case) a bull barrel. ;D

"Rules for Warfare" to me is a - Say What? Rules ? ???
I can think of a guidline --- Use overwhelming force.
Is like rules for a bank robbery. Leave your name, address, SSN. This so we can make a filing with the IRS for tax purposes.
After all,,, this is taxable income and you are required to leave this information before receiving the money. No info - no money !

My attempt at an AUG HBAR-T. I didn't like the idea of a barrel-mounted bipod though, so I replaced it and the stock foregrip with an underside rail and rail-mounted T-Pod.
================================================================
(http://i846.photobucket.com/albums/ab22/dy031101/PMG/axr_HBAR-T.jpg)
The AUG was then modified to represent the AXR, an American-made AUG clone that can accept STANAG magazines.
================================================================
(http://i846.photobucket.com/albums/ab22/dy031101/PMG/L85A2_IW_SAW-Mode.jpg)
Was thinking of this (http://www.surefire.com/tactical-equipment/high-capacity-magazines.html) when I did it.
================================================================
(http://i846.photobucket.com/albums/ab22/dy031101/PMG/stgE4_DMR_M43R_1.jpg)
================================================================
Could someone educate me on where in an AUG the weapon's select-fire capability is determined? Thanks in advance.
-
Donny, I believe it's got a progressive trigger: ie one that fires semi-auto with the first pressure, going to full-auto with the trigger pulled completely back.
Regards,
John
-
Hum...... then I hope the trigger of AXR (which is semi-auto only) is on the list of parts interchangeable with those of AUG......
(http://i846.photobucket.com/albums/ab22/dy031101/PMG/axr_assaultRifle.jpg)
Now I start wondering if the foregrip of this one is too low......

I'm a fairly realistic guy when it comes to guns.

"They're rifles not guns!!" just like my Sgt used to say, ;D
Seriously though, this current fad with sand/beige/tan (pick your choice of bleh) furniture makes me wonder when the rest of the weapon is black or gun metal. Obviously I've seen fully cammed up weapons, but sticking that colour of furniture on a basically dark weapon doesn't seem to make any sense.

.500 S&W Magnum
Further suggestion would be appreciated. I'm actually wondering if a smaller, lower-powered scope would already be sufficient.
I'll probably upload more pics later.
The more the merrier. :icon_beer:
Ten years ago I was still seeing some magazines "predicting" that the AR15/M16 platform will never make a good basis for a marksman's rifle or even an infantry weapon. Look at what we've got now.
Obviously I've seen fully cammed up weapons, but sticking that colour of furniture on a basically dark weapon doesn't seem to make any sense.
Some camouflages aim to break up the outline rather than altogether blending in. Although what it does as opposed to a full camo is still beyond me.

Here's more of mine.
The first one is a complete custom rifle.

Camo tape, hessian & the like breaks up an outline, but a solid colour does little to change the obvious shape of a weapon.

I'm just a keep it simple sort... for home D, make mine a vintage 1928AC "Chicago Typewriter". For sidearms, I've actually done a little redesign on the M1911A1, will post concept blueprints later...

Looking forward to it.
Nothing out of the ordinary by contemporary standards this time, but I always like the idea of the venerable one dressed up to go with the current workhorse:

6" longslide, magazine release and slide stop of standard, ejection system and thumb safety of a "portsider" variant. Designed specifically for a left-handed shooter--southpaws can work a mag catch or slide release with our trigger fingers as well as righties with thumbs without having to twist the weapon and risk weakened grip, and everything being operated by the trigger finger helps enforce "Off Target, Off Trigger" safety rules. Obviously, splitting the slide-stop ad thumb safety requires changing to a dual-plunger-tube design.
Right-hand version isn't a perfect mirror image, but uses a standard set of cuts and keeps trigger-finger operation with an ambidextrous release. This eliminates the "handed magazines" problem that has plagued all previous left-hand 1911s.

Cool handgun idea. 8)

Oh, that's straight from scans of the US Army Tank-automotive & Armaments Command (TACOM) plans... I just did a little creative cut-and-splice to stretch the slide and reverse the ejection port and safety.
Other than that, I like my 1911s as "Plain-Jane WWII GI Milspec" as possible, though I'm not opposed to adding laser sights.
