A couple of American companies have been trying to produce StG44s and FG42s for a long time, but haven't been able to get it right. Thankfully, I have a friend who is able to legally build machine guns and has an MP40 in full-auto; it is a very pleasant gun to shoot!

sunday Posted July 18, 2024 Posted July 18, 2024 New CT-40 autocannon. Really nifty piece of equipment, if it works, of course.
sunday Posted July 18, 2024 Posted July 18, 2024 Recruiting video for a small machinegun production facility. Interesting semimanufactured MG parts.
Markus Becker Posted July 23, 2024 Posted July 23, 2024 Eight minutes into the clip it's getting interesting and historic.

Mighty_Zuk Posted July 26, 2024 Posted July 26, 2024 Apparently the IWI Carmel is in service in very small numbers. I assume a combat trial. Recently the IDF decided to stop acquiring the Tavor and substitute it with AR15-based platforms. The Carmel is one such solution but so far I've only heard of American-made M4 variants coming in, and IWI Arad as the higher end solution. IWI Carmel IWI Arad

M1 rifles took up a lot of slack. During WWII, the US Marines developed their BAR-heavy 13 man squad with 3, 4-man fire teams that had a BAR in each team. Of course numbers were usually somewhat less in combat.
Markus Becker Posted July 28, 2024 Posted July 28, 2024 Speaking of the M1. He is probably the most qualified Youtuber to present this one. It's just a shame The Gunny didn't do the intro.
rmgill Posted July 29, 2024 Author Posted July 29, 2024 My shoulder aches just thinking about that in rapid fire.
Ivanhoe Posted July 29, 2024 Posted July 29, 2024 ISTR that a handful of Alaskan folks rebuilt Garands into .338 WM for bear defense. Supposedly successful, though I have a hard time believing a magnum case feeding reliably out of an en bloc. .35 Whelen would be a piece of cake, and possibly 9.3x63. Maybe .375 Whelen, though that's a tiny shoulder. I *think* 9.3x62 would run slicker than goose crap, and has legendary performance on large and dangerous game. Of course, one could never bring a semi-auto rifle into those African countries (or Ozztralia) where a .458 wouldn't be overkill.

What's in Oz that requires .458 and why's .30-06 suboptimal against bears? Especially in a eight shot semi automatic.
