/AKM/ - Guns, weapons and the art of war.

Theres so many new and reliable high cap magazine concepts nowadays, like the P90 flat mag, or the QMAG 53, but they still went with the 20 round straight magazine.

Good, let the empire’s military become stupid.

Honestly, the bore diameter is more insulting than the magazine size. It’s fucking 2024, how tf did these guys manage to somehow fail at making their 5.56 whatever rounds not strong enough to penetrate armour. The ruskies did it.

>The ruskies did it
Not really.

TBQH the main problem with it is just weight. At least concerning the modern battlefield, weight is by far one of the biggest concerned of any major military. Otherwise, its fine like 90% of all rifles in service of all countries.

>>5343
is it caseless? no? then I don't care

>>5374
Well that’s going to be hard to fix. The average marine in the 2000s used to carry over 200+ 5.56 rounds. The idea of bumping up the calibre is definetly going to cause some issues with ammo capacities. The gun may be able to penetrate some armours, but the limitations the weapon puts on firepower and costs are apparent.
