BansheeOne Posted January 12, 2012 Posted January 12, 2012 So it's a 25 mm round based upon the 20 x 102 mm Vulcan ... I like how the paper blows off at the next table over.
shep854 Posted January 12, 2012 Posted January 12, 2012 If I had to shoot that thing, it would be from a "standing benchrest", to absorb as much recoil as possible with body movement, rather than punching it all into my shoulder, though the kick would still be vicious.Still, it doesn't seem to be as nasty as the .577 T-Rex...look it up on YouTube for much hilarity!
Stargrunt6 Posted January 12, 2012 Posted January 12, 2012 PDWs.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WymJGBzWtnA Oh damn right. I heard Skorpys are easy to bump fire. First time I saw a pic of one, it was carried by commanders of Czech airborne units. Not sure if they were too happy about that.

Not sure if they were too happy about that. It was used here as sidearm for pilots, tank crews and such and was reasonably liked - it provided quick suppressive fire and was somewhat surprisingly accurate (if lacking in effect).
bojan Posted January 12, 2012 Posted January 12, 2012 In the designed .32ACP. Yes, ours are .32, a bit hotter loaded then standard however (for all that it is worth).

And..... A lever gun with rails and adjustable stock...The goggles! They do nothing!

rmgill Posted January 18, 2012 Author Posted January 18, 2012 "Firefly" props? Then it would be a mare's leg with rails. I guess, the way to look at this is it's the closest thing that Californians, New Yorkers and some other state residents can get to an EBR (Evil Black Rifle) without a felony. Lever guns don't really fit into the Assault rifle descriptive language. This is why some companies were making Pump action rifles that took 5.56 and AR magazines...not that they could use the 30 or 20 rounders either....10 rounders only....No detachable magazine also makes these dressed up lever guns "less evil" to the politicians of the few states that are still carrying that verdammt Assault Weapon language.

DougRichards Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 Rather than starting a new thread, news of a 'guided' bullet. See below. My question is, if you can illumiate a target with a laser for the bullet to hit, why not just shoot instead of luminating? If the issue is rangefinding, then use a laser rangefinder and still take the shot at the correct range. http://www.news.com.au/technology/sci-tech/sandia-national-laboratories-create-self-guided-bullets/comments-fn5fsgyc-1226259214800 US Government researchers have created self-guided bullets that can find their way to a target up to 2km away. The dart-like bullet was invented by engineers at Sandia National Laboratories in California and features a laser-guided system. Sandia researchers Red Jones and Brian Kast fitted the bullet with a built-in optical sensor that can be guided by shining a laser beam on a target. “The sensor sends information to guidance and control electronics that use an algorithm to command electromagnetic actuators. These actuators steer tiny fins that guide the bullet to the target,” Sandia National Laboratories website says. Mr Jones said the bullet can self-correct its navigational path 30 times a second, all while flying more than twice the speed of sound. “The bullet flies straight due to its aerodynamically stable design, which consists of a centre of gravity that sits forward in the projectile and tiny fins that enable it to fly without spin, just as a dart does," Mr Jones said. The researchers successfully tested the design in computer simulations and in field tests using prototypes built from commercially available parts. Sandia National Laboratories is part of security company Lockheed Martin - who is working with the US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) to develop a "super" scope for sniper rifles. Known as the One Shot system the team is developing a computer scope that can help snipers accurately hit targets in all weather conditions.
DB Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 The BBC article has a picture of a trajectory - shown by an LED in the base of the bullet. It also has a picture of the bullet. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-16810107 It's 4 inches long.
