Why is the mag shaped like that?
>>28253176
The bullet is a needle instead. Moves underwater faster
>>28253186
I mean why does it have that odd cutout portion?
>>28253176
it have an AK mag type follower
>>28253176
They fire these things called flechettes. So the mag has to be shaped differently
>>28253193
I'm guessing it's because the bottom is just the magazine follower, but that does seem like a fair bit of space for a follower
Why has nobody created a DPV that fires torpedoes yet?

>>28253202
perhaps they use the follower out of normal sized magazine
given the cartage looks normal
>>28253196
That's so weird.
>>28253198
>>28253202
I'm wondering if they're just trying to make it more hydrodynamic. Or use less materials or like he said re purpose AK followers, just looks off.
>>28253193
Id say so the mag does not catch on shit underwater but that is just a guess.
sup
>>28253193
Well it would be less weight and bulk since the follower pushes on the brass, not the bullet
>>28253251
Actually I think, THINK I figured out why, it has two spring assemblies. As you can see the casing is fatter overall than the darts, a single uniform follower and spring pushing upwards would cause the darts to sag downward and wouldn't chamber properly. The back portion of the mag holds the spring and follower responsible for pushing the cartridges upward, the "shelf" that extends towards the front of the mag allows another spring assembly that just keeps the noses of the darts upward.
At least that's what I'm gathering, check my work.
>>28253236
Cool
>>28253193
Iit probably also makes it easier to grab while underwater too, but I'm not a soviet engineer.
>>28253193
this is probably the best explanation so far
>>28253265
Aww yiss. grinding the same rooms for money killing dinos so you can buy a better underwater gun... to grind faster to get nothing.
>>28253265
It could also be ergonomics, easier to grab/unload/reload from the regular mag sized nub than gripping that huge thing from a flat bottom
>>28253269
nice water crossbow
Underwater use Gyrojet variant, the Lancejet.
>>28253164
Why is the service life of that gun so short? From why I hear it's about 2000ish rounds under water and 180 rounds out of water. Is it just junk or what is killing this gun so fast?
>>28253335
I remember running through the sentient plant forest with the flamethrower just racking up a giant combo.
That, and rushing through the pleiosaur habour with dual uzis just massacring everything in a giant combo.
>>28253751
>2000 underwater
>180 out of water
If I had to make a GUESS, it might assume only underwater use, and have a weaker, lighter construction to make it buoyant and due to waterpressure making up for thinner material.
>>28253193
follower only needs to push on the case which stuffs into the smaller portion, the rest of the round is long as fuck and needs the room
>>28253751
smooth bore
For those of you that do not know, these:
>>28253813
>>28253825
are correct.
Another fun fact: The back of the reciever is open to give the water and area to move into when the bolt travels. Water needs a place to escape to, unlike air that easily compresses.
>>28253265
sounds unnaturally complex for a russian weapon
>>28253867
its a smooth bore, long bulleted, Ak47
>>28253867
It's an extremely specialized weapon that would only be used by well trained troops, not an AK that has to be Boris the retarded peasant proof.
>>28253530
>>28253193
>all these wrong answers
That's where the mag spring is
The spring isn't as wide as the cartridge is long.
>>28253269
>Riffe
Your speargun is unoriginal and overpriced. Riffe is the FN of the speargun world.
But it's better than JBL, the slightly more retarded cousin of Taurus.
