I guess I’m retarded. Zenith Z5RS

i also want to do a good guy vs good guy map, like LRRP dudes in helicopters vs rogue SOG dudes who also use the vc traps. this would be a lot easier to do with the sdk than my original post but it would still be fun with the right map, or just recycling one of the more favored existing maps.

i think i would also add the folding stock ak to most roles and the scoped mas49 to sniper/dm because theyre already in the game

Bolt bounce also kills MG-42s

>>108613
Yes I mentioned that. I've dealt with a few '42's with "fat" sections.

Another rapid fire shooting video. Yes, I am aware of the flopping AA flip-up rear sight. I am working with TNW on getting the tensioner spring for that, which they neglected to install on my particular gun.

If you noticed, I actually did not finish the belt. Had a failure to advance to next round on the belt, which caused the bolt to not pick up the next round. My gun in particular seems to be very sensitive to belt weight and the "pull strength" of the MG34 is known to be pretty weak, necessitating support of the belt of cartridges to feed smoothly into the gun. Not sure what can be done to improve this, since it's all depedent on the cam track of the top cover.

>>108781
Check how tight the links are. The bolt is moving forward trying to pull the belt around, so the bolt is already being slowed by that. Then the bolt hits the round, if the links are holding the rounds too tightly, it takes too much energy to push the round through.

That's what I've found anyway. I've had to pry open links on a few belts, dramatically improving feeding and general reliability.

>>108783
I don't think it's an issue about failure to feed by pushing the next round through the link. The kind of stoppages I encounter based on the failure to advance next link in the belt is fixed by simply pulling on the belt from the right side of the gun (the empty links), and it will click indicating the next round in position ready to feed as it slips underneath the main feed pawl on the feed block. If it were a failure to feed link failure, then this wouldn't be possible.

What frame/sec where those bullets caught at?

Really good shit man.

Compare with the Slo Mo Guys who filmed these various bullets at 100,000 frames per second:

SVT-40 captured and being used in the Battle of Stalingrad.

And imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
Such as with this Italian Pavesi prototype SVT copy in 8x59 Breda...

The Walther Gewehr 43 was the Nazis’ answer to the superlative American M1 Garand. A gas-operated design actually pirated from the Soviet SVT40 self-loading rifle, the G43 was relatively lightweight and offered fast and reliable semiautomatic fire from a detachable ten-round box magazine. Though the magazine was tidy and removable, German Infantrymen were typically only issued two spares and fed the gun instead via standard five-round stripper clips from the top. These strippers were the same sort that fed the bolt-action Kar98k.
The G43 was later designated the K43, but the two weapons were otherwise identical. The G43 included a short length of cleaning rod underneath the barrel. Several soldiers would pool their cleaning rod segments to make a single usable tool.
The rear sight of the G43 was a sliding tangent, while the front sight was a fixed hooded barleycorn. The leather sling mounted on the left side. The safety was a rotating lever at the back of the receiver. A sheet steel re-ceiver cover helped keep the action clean from battlefield crud.
G43 rifles were intended to be issued at the rate of 19 rifles per Infantry company, along with ten separate ZF-4 sights and mounts. Allerberger fired all the new rifles his unit received and selected the most accurate for marksmen rifles. The scopes and mounts were then matched to their host rifles and marked by hand with the gun’s serial number.

Good to see you're still around as well. The collection has grown quite a bit, it is near 3100 cartridges at present. This was a photo I took back in January of the pile that had accumulated which I still needed to sort and catalog.

>>108752
While we did not have the opportunity to shoot this one and it would be of questionable wisdom to do so as the stock exhibited at least two cracks, SVT-38's handle and shoot much like the later SVT-40's. Most of the differences lie in the design of the stock and hand guards, the placement of the cleaning rod and the function of the magazine catch. I did find the SVT-38's mag catch seemed a bit more fiddly than those on the SVT-40 which may have had a hand in why it was redesigned. These two magazines were very snug fits but that can be the case with SVT-40's as well since the locking lug occasionally needs fitting to the individual rifle.

I doubt these politicians comprehend how much .455" I own. Let alone .303".
As far as 7,62NATO or 5.56NATO, it's best measured in "pallets".

I will share it freely, simply to confound their efforts.

>I doubt these politicians comprehend how much .455" I own.
Lucky!
I know people who collected British firearms and they were stymied by the difficulty in obtaining ammo for them. Not only the rarities like .476 Enfield, .455 Webly Auto, .577 Snyder, and so on, but plain-Jane .455 Webley.

For UK .577 Boxer, people use rare 24 gauge brass cut down and sized to a .62 case. Some home-loaders also cut down 24 gauge brass to 2" for homemade .577 Snyder, an interesting cartridge conversion of the Enfield muzzle-loading .577 rifled musket.

And good luck to those looking for Mars ammo.
Here's a display of British fodder for you:

  Some people really get into their gun and kit collecting...
The Mk III Snider-Enfield: Introduction https://youtu.be/DJ-f11hM4Sk

U.S. MACHINE GUN T52E1 .30 (T65) SN# 6
Maker/Manufacturer: BRIDGE TOOL & DIE WORKS
Date of Manufacture: 1949-1952

U.S. MACHINE GUN T52E1 .30 (T93E1) SN# 8
Maker/Manufacturer: BRIDGE TOOL & DIE WORKS
Date of Manufacture: 1949-1952

And the experimental T-44 machine gun developed from the German FG 42 and MG 42 machine guns.
U.S. MACHINE GUN T44 7.92MM
Manufactured by Bridge Tool & Die Works, Philadelphia, Pa. in 1946 - The gun is a conversion of the FG42 German, Light, Magazine Feed Machine Gun, with the belt feeding mechanism of the MG42 German, Belt Feed Machine Gun. The mechanical solution for the conversion was provided by the Bridge Tool & Die Works. The weapon is gas-operated blowback type combination; air-cooled; bipod supported; with forward handgrip and rear shoulder stock.
The receiver body in which the essential parts of the gun operate is a sheet metal fabrication. The barrel is permanently mounted into the forward end, and the receiver swaged circumferentially into a recess around the rear end of the barrel and secured by a locking ring, likewise swaged. The hinge member about which the feed mechanism rotates is welded to that portion of the receiver body directly rearward from the swaged area, thereby making the receiver body, barrel and hinge member an integral unit. Holding the receiver body in a normal firing position, there is an opening on the left-hand side running longitudinally from the welded hinge member for the length of the housing. This opening is bridged in one instance at a point located approximately 4" rearward from the hinge member by the ejector assembly. The resultant opening between the hinge member and the ejector assembly permit the receiver plate to position the shell cartridge for insertion into the barrel. Directly opposite this opening there is a similar small opening through which the cartridge cases are ejected. http://ww2.rediscov.com/spring/VFPCGI.exe?IDCFile=/spring/DETAILS.IDC,SPECIFIC=9554,DATABASE=objects

Near mint, unfired Group Industries M2 Heavy Barreled .50 Cal machine gun. Black hard composite grips. Muzzle attached at end of barrel. Heavy ground tripod marked “E.P.” included with stirrup and traverse and elevation mechanism present. Headspace and timing gauge also included. Spare barrel with carrying handle included. CONDITION: Overall appearance and finish is near excellent original dull gray refinish upon remanufacture with only the slightest of handling marks. Gun appears unfired. Tripod is extremely fine to near mint fine with brown corrosion just on the bottom edges of the feet, more so on the left side. Near excellent shine bores in both barrels. Mechanics are crisp. This is a full-automatic only machine gun. A superior condition specimen for the savvy investor or shooter who wants to own and shoot the best.

Moves around, knows all kinds of tricks.

KE Arms has more info since they were a supplier:

https://www.facebook.com/KEArmsOfficial/posts/1531293650334416

Hudson, as a company, is super dead, but their suppliers look to be in a good position to build more if the obvious IP issues can be resolved.

>>108365
I, for one, welcome our new Sinistral overlords.

Also, it would be great if I could get my gun back.

>Hudson’s said it had 86 pistols in for warranty at the time the company ceased operation.
>So, somewhere above and beyond the millions of dollars of debt that Hudson’s creditors will try to reclaim, there’s almost $100k worth of bought and paid-for H9 components that may never find their way back to their owners. The boxes of disassembled H9s are left in a limbo state. Hudson is no more, as is its ability to pay for assembly, and or return shipping.

Looks like you're out of luck. All pistols that have been shipped to them for repairs are paperweights now. They won't ship them back to you for "liability reasons".

>>108185
And a clip of ammunition for my little Armalite.

>>108431
Dope. Now you just need a dramatically overpriced folding stock mechanism for your AR-15 lower that won't be used at all.

>>108441
and here I went a put a fixed stock my -18.

>>108442
I can't knock it. Most AKs on the planet have fixed stocks too, I assume. To each his own.

>>108441
I needed one more AR upper before buying a house.
