Maybe the soviets who made died and no one passed the technology.
It seems something very impressive it can fire two really fast consecutive shots on the same weapon cycle.
I wish the guys from DemolitionRanch could get one, just to see if it can really deliver two rounds on the same hole.
>Lost technology
Nothing is lost about it, we know what all the components look like and how the function in cooperation together, the only thing stopping you from building one right now is talent and time
And a machine fabrication shop.
Do you lack talent, or do you lack time?
He lack an industrial forging machine, same as you.
Heres 1/3rd of my industrial forging setup
If you dont know the other 2/3ds you're ngmi
Those cost less than many fun collections but most anons will never make the effort. Live wisely and anyone can afford a lathe, mill and basic tooling plus a place to put it because I did and I'm not special.
John Browings classics were produced before even Bridgeport-style knee mills were common.
>leviathan tribe shill thread #999999999
Seriously, every time that wife cheater/family leaver posts a video the shills just talk about that gun for a month.
It's also the reason there's multiple very stupid threads about 5.7 rn lmao
Black person they were still manufacturing them until 2006 and considering they were still displaying it at trade shows until at least 2012; they were probably still tooled up for sudden orders for that long. Its not made because its not that impressive and there hasnt been significant demand for it in decades (or ever, really), not because its some Slavic equivalent to the Apollo mission.
>Its not made because its not that impressive
It's not so much this as it is that the gun is way, way too complex for grunts to maintain in the field for very minimal real world performance gain over the rifle it was supposed to replace.
The HK G11 is another gun that fits into this category. It's not that it isn't cool, impressive tech. It's that in the trenches it's not enough better than an M4 or AK74 to make up for the fact that if the gun breaks in the field (and it will), it needs to go back to the armorer to be made operational again.
i think its a ridiculously complex design, just to fire 2 boolits really fast, you could simply stuff two bullets in one case like colt did with their acr program, there is nothing problematic in making a duplex 5.45 cartridge
A weapon not being worth reproducing doesn't mean it can't be reproduced.
It was never intended to land two shots in the same hole nor is it capable of it, its the same hit probability autism that gave us the god awful 3 round burst.
That pulley system made it too fricking complicated for a very negligible gain. Especially for Russians. Nothing about it was "lost", they just realized it was a stupid idea. You can very easily find detailed breakdowns of it's internals on google.
Got frustrated looking at this fricking Lego set looking gun
>A pulley slaved to the bolt carrier thats only job is to feed a round faster
>A spring loaded feed ramp thats only job is to feed a round faster
>This is arcane complicated rocket surgery technology too complicated
I guess they were right when they said a marine alone in a room with a ball bearing would find a way to break that ball bearing
If it ain't broke, it hasn't been issued to the infantry.
>DemolitionRanch could get one, just to see if it can really deliver two rounds on the same hole.
garand thumb literally did a video to put that to the test
solution looking for a problem
I will not watch the leviathan homosexual who made the video shooting one
>Fires two bullets really fast
I predict the Ukrainians will find some way to do that simple and embarrass the Russians.
it was the technological equivalent of an evolutionary dead-end.
There's a video of Larry Snickers firing one. Spoiler alert: it's not that impressive.
