>None of us will live long enough to see the next golden age of firearms experimentation
I'm getting sick of everything getting churned out these days being another striker fired polymer 9mm or the 7000th piston driven attempt at an AR/AK killer with a monolithic rail (failing to realize it's not going to dethrone the AR/AK if they market it at twice the cost of them)
Shit mang, just imagine what crazy designs will be made when they manage to make batteries that could support laser or gauss rifles, hell, even practical caseless ammo could lead to some cool shit.
>>28662234
hey look its a cali legal Sturmgewehr.
>>28662256
Shit, HMG should make a stock like that instead of a bullet button.
I don't know if we'll see practical caseless ammo or personal railguns any time soon, but telescoping polymer cased ammo looks very promising. Maybe its benefits vs the M4 will make the military switch over to using it.
>>28662234
Pocket sand will replace all firearms by 2025
I'm just tired of every company making ARs. I don't dislike the AR, but god damn, they are 99.9% the same.
>>28662234
>the 7000th piston driven attempt at an AR/AK killer with a monolithic rail (failing to realize it's not going to dethrone the AR/AK if they market it at twice the cost of them)
Holy fuck I hate that shit.
Its literally designing a firearm that is overcomplicated and doesn't function as well as the aforementioned rifles and then trying to sell it for $2K plus.
It makes no sense
>>28662348
Yeah, they are pretty done to death.
Also sick of "dude lets take an AR and make it into an AK lmao"
In fact, it might be edgy, but the only AR that I've recently been mildly excited by was Cobalt Kinetics' ridiculous tacticool monster. The automatic mag release & bolt release setup is neat.
>>28662348
The AR market is so huge right now that if it was dominated by even 3 companies, they'd be the biggest gun makers in the world.
>>28662408
well no fucking shit captain retard
>>28662280
No they shouldn't. If you ever hold an stg or even a repro it's just awkward. I'd rather take a bullet button which is a pain in the ass on an STG since it's not designed to drop the mags free you still have to pull the mag out.
I'd settle for a detachable SKS mag that doesn't completely suck balls
>>28662577
Why not a next step in SKS evolution? I'd be really interested in knowing what an SKS-17 would look like.
>>28662616
>Everyone's making ARs that fire 7.62
Make an SKS that fires 5.56
>>28662644
>Modern 5.56x45 SKS that still has a 2 piston gas system and comparatively modern ergonomics
>It weighs like 12Ibs because they didn't want to slim down the overbuilt aspect of it while adding new parts
Muh fuckin' dick, fuck this high speed, low drag shit, lets seem some really heavyweights enter the arena for a change.
>>28662644
That was almost a thing.

You can thank the Chinese import ban.
>>28662689
You know, .300 Win Mag is a 7.62 round
Fuck making it smaller. I want a Norinco in .300WM. Theoretically all you should have to do is stretch out the chamber
>>28662334
Underrated post.
>>28662716
>Shot show 2017
>All the new AR's and piston driven "totally not trying to be a 5.56 SCAR guys" rifles stand next to their manufacturers irradiating smug superiority
>Suddenly the metal of all the rifles goes cold as they hear a brutish roar of pure rage that human ears cannot hear erupt from the doors
>When the doors open they hear the phrase "SKS-17 IS HERE! SKS-17 SMASH!"
>All the rifles stare in horror as the hulking monstrosity of a rifle is carried into the building
>The creature looks like someone took the wood stock off an SKS, added detachable magazines, mounted it to an StG lower, and repainted it
>As the easily 12Ibs beast is carried to its table all the other high speed, low drag rifles actually develop pours to sweat
>They are uneasy, but certain their familiarity will win the day
>As the day goes by less and less come to see any of them, all wish to see first hand this abhorrent creature that has captured the hearts of men with its sheer power
>Now the rifles are truly worried as the monster screams "AH-HAHAHA! PUNY RIFLES ARE WEAK! SKS-12 IS STRONG! SKS-12 WILL WIN THE DAY AND CRUSH ALL OTHER PLASTIC RIFLES LIKE SKULLS OF PUNY MAN ENEMIES!"

I heard /k/ommandos in need of a New SKS
I propose to you, a modern SKS that will accept AR10 barrels, simple bolt lengthening or shortening allows feeding for cartriges from 9x19 up to 7.62x54R, maybe even 300WM
Optional FAL recoil buffer in classic stock config, and capable of having an unholy AR buffer in tacticool pistol grip config.
a magwell adapter to accept a variety of standard magazines, in addition to original internal mag and larger internal mag.
full length cz-style target stock with bayo lug hidden as a barrel tension screw and cleaning rod retension, and adjustable gas/piston system set to 'closed' requires tapping the pilot holes in the regulator to achieve semi auto fun for sale to AWB states.
>>28662843
what I would give to see the day.
>>28662873
>Optional FAL recoil buffer in classic stock config
HOLY
SHITBALLS
where do i sign up?
>>28662873
SKS/FAL hybrid when?
>>28662873
open source plans for making receivers out of stamped sheet metal are a must. bolt design so simple, it can be achieved with cordless power tools, can fit in original SKS furniture with MINIMUM modification ie: an extra brass screw here or there, and extra bedding
possibility of using AK or FAL triggers, depending on final bolt carrier group\charging handle design.
ships with mini reddot sight mounts, or small picatinny rail section where ladder sight is traditionally, back end of receiver has integrated sight(or another section of rail, again dependant upon charging handle/BCH)
>>28662946
SKFAL when?
>>28662988
The gun that killed the desire for light weight and polymer.
Soon anon.
>>28662988
that dog looks like a girl I once had sex with... how horrifying
>>28663041
Now by that, do you mean you had sex with an actual dog?
>>28662946
a guy named xtriggerman did that already, that might even be his rifle in your pic. but my goal is a completely open source firearm, that can be be built in a garage, is totally legal for sale in all 50 states, and has ultimate modularity, like a low tech ar15, totally-not-a-battle-rifle looking battle capable rifle like a gunsite, or a mossman mvp, but not proprietary and will shoot anything you want as long as you have the barrel, a wrench, and a bolt
>>28662897
I need to get measurements from an sks45, a stamped receiver chink sks, a yugo, and a metric FAL. then time in CAD, then proof of concept on 3d printed models, then real testing on stamped sheet metal. once I get there, kickstarter.
>>28663049
I didn't fuck a canine, no, but she had an awful overbite
Insane body esp hip:waist tho, classic paper bag job
>>28662988
SKFAL PDW in 9x19 and .45 when?
>>28663071
we need a great marketing campaign, how about the Rhodesia poster but instead of FAL it will show SKFAL and the slogan will be "BE A CYKA AMONG BLYAT".....or Ivan's quote will do
>>28663076
you mean like the girl version of the deez nuts guy? damn, you need a tinfoil bag so not even superman can see you banging her
>>28663083
>Entirely new line of SKFAL rifles hit the markets
>Available in everything from .22lr to 9mm to 7.62x54r, hell, we even got a .50 beowulf version
>All of them are like 12Ibs, 9mm recoil like a .22, 5.56's recoil like 9mm
>All for a mid three digit MSRP
>>28663106
>BE A BITCH AMONG WHORES
I don't know why but I love it
>>28663076
What's it like to have sex?
I'm saving for a new car but I could use the money to get a hooker.
>>28663226
just don't expect too much, bru
>>28663119
still figuring out the best way to do 22lr, i think a chamber sleeve would be the coolest way to go about it, but that is on back burner with the direct impinged system swap and mag feed problem fixes.
>>28663132
>>28663106
sorry guys, gonna have to say no initially, to attract sponsorship. but after stamped plans are up do as thou wilt.
kits I sell, followers of the Kube will get a hefty discount with "ave nex alea" or the other one, "cubis necium" or the like, along with murder/k/ube rollmarks
>>28663226
Not as great as its cracked up to be, but still pretty fucking great.
Buy the car you damn weeb
>>28662234
the reason there hasn't been another wave of mass experimentation is
A) lack of a world wide conflict to give incentive to innovate
and
B) legislation worldwide trying to keep all the exciting and cool stuff out of the hands of the common person in all the countries capable of innovation because of their 1st world status has made technology in general stagnate
>>28663238
aw shoot, just about to shoop the rhodesian poster and embed a zergface on it. i guess it can wait and look for someone here who's better on shooping stuff than i do
>>28663106
>girl version of the deez nuts guy
haha! no, nowhere near that bad, solid 3/10 face, but the body of a functioning barbie
>>28663226
>not sure if serious
pretty cool, even better when you know and like the person.
Or on E, that always takes it up a notch(keep Viagra on hand though)
>>28663313
Plenty of conflict, but it's against guys using 60-100 year old small arms or older.
>>28662890
So according to /k/ the next huge step in the evolution of firearms is the development of the SKS-17?
>>28663557
obviously
>>28662946
>7.62x51 mag
>SKS receiver and barrel
Do what now?
The new wave is already here, it just hasnt picked up speed. 5.7×28
The P90, thats where the future is headed.
>>28663585
Man they've really lost the creativity with those baits.
honestly the way of the bullpup is the future. if we can make a light, easy nato caliber bullpup, that's gonna be it for a motherfucking long time. think a SCAR bullpup, and that's what I think firearms are headed into. after that, hell if i know
>>28663611
It only really makes sense to replace a standard battle rifle with a bullpup in urban combat.
I blame the NFA. We could have so much cool shit if it wasn't for that piece of shit legislation.
I have some ideas that I think would be practical and useful, but they'd be 200% illegal without reams of paperwork and a bunch of money in tax stamps.
honestly obama needs to get us in a real full blown war with isis so we can innovate. our technology - in all respects, is stagnant. it's just the same shit, maybe lighter or runs a bit faster, but we haven't had some real, true innovation in at least a decade.
>>28663611
this is my post.
my thoughts for the innovation of firearms from here is like so
bullpup, 7.62x51 modular designed rifle like a scar. versions for heavy support would be belt fed with a very light trigger pull and a high rate of fire, both versions with a polymer frame and striker fired. forward charging and non-moving bolt is the way of the future. but hey, i'm some random bastard rambling on the idiot so i'll shut the fuck up now.
>>28663678
>forward charging and non-moving bolt
Bruh.
Bruh.
>>28663705
goddammit, I said that wrong. I meant like on a scar, how you just charge it and it locks back forward, so you don't lose a couple fingers. I'm really tired so I forget the proper term right now, apologies.
>>28663723
It's all good, I just felt a little cheeky.
>>28662234
Anyone else really want a Volksturm despite it being a frankly shit rifle.
>>28663662
I swear the atf has pissed of enough people that if any presidential candidate promises to destroy they will automatically get about 10 million votes.
