That second one looks interesting. What have you done exactly?

dy031101 · « **Reply #77 on:** January 08, 2012, 01:54:22 PM »

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......

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......

Inspired by the following videos:


Ep.6 pt.1 AK-47 Silencer


Ep.6 pt.2 AK-47 Silencer

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 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)

with integrated sound suppressor.

The Honey Badger fires the AAC designed 300 Blackout 7.62X35 cartridge.

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?

Maverick · « **Reply #81 on:** January 10, 2012, 05:40:36 AM »

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.

Totally agree! That and the P-38 in both suppressed and non-suppressed configurations are my favourite.

And looks like it's already fitted with a muzzle brake...... or should they have had the sense to put a better one on that gun?

Another integrally-suppressed gun.

I would have wanted to put on a night sniper scope though.

I know, I know, having 7.62 x 39mm as a DM round is already kinda pushing it......

That's what watching reality tv show on a gun shop run by an AK lover does to me though......

Jeffry Fontaine · « **Reply #88 on:** January 11, 2012, 04:22:53 PM »

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.

Maverick · « **Reply #89 on:** January 11, 2012, 08:40:57 PM »

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.

John

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

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.

Well I guess I'll have to run it through Photoshop in depth some day (see the first attachment).

=====================================================================

I figure...... if a Saiga 30-06 can be dressed up (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?)

Maverick · « **Reply #96 on:** January 13, 2012, 10:19:48 AM »

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.

Regards,

John

dy031101 · « **Reply #97 on:** January 13, 2012, 10:57:55 AM »

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.
