Utilitarian aesthetic implies that it's not so OMFG ugly that merely being in the same room as one should cause you to burst into flames from the embarrassment. The crack about "rather carry a Taurus" was hyperbole for comic effect rather than an endorsement of one of the most craptacular handguns I've ever had the displeasure of firing. I prefer the H&K USP.
>that merely being in the same room as one should cause you to burst into flames
This is about as gay as those people who say whatever fast food makes them sick and causes them to puke and die and cry and hide in a corner because hamburger clown man made them pee pee poo poo because they were very sheltered and raised exclusively on a diet of deer cum and oats. It doesn't make you look cool just makes you look gay and fragile.
imagine doing all of this in an extreme stress situation
designers were brave tho, but the cartridge meta is very well established, it's like wanting to redesign something already perfect like a keyboard
Also it looked kino
I still don't understand why we don't have caseless ammunition autocannons and artillery. I guess some guns use the naval charge + projectile thing but some still have big ol brass case which makes even less sense for tanks.

I need a caseless rifle in my life. Who cares about how leaky it is. We have had roller delayed rifles for ages, the list goes on. Most shooters are not going to fire their weapon in high enough volume to cause a cook off. you could even remove the primer and use a piezo or something to simplify the ammo further.
>caseless ammo
just use paper/cardboard cartridges with piezoelectric instead of a primer
that or some rocket ball update

If you need to reload a magazine in an extreme stress situation, I don't think it's going to get much easier than that.
Also the QWERTY keyboard layout was specifically designed to make English slower to type, to compensate for the mechanical limitations of early typewriters.
>With the slow disintegration of the peace dividend can we start research on a G-12 now
I have it on good word that H&K had the project leads cryogenically frozen the day the Wall came down and that efforts are underway to revive them.

is also has a 2000rpm burst mode.
i guess the customer could have chosen the fire rate for the full auto mode >loading procedure
how is it different from using clips?
What will the next paradigm in smallarms be? It has to be substantial since incremental improvements like the nsgw.
Imo it will be the proliferation of digital target recognition HUDS paired with automated triggers. Something the US has with IVAS and the israelis with the IWI arbel

Gonna need a hell of a power source though. I think a good idea is electrically delayed blowback, use copper bullets as a motor winding, generate electricity from shooting, and store it in a backpack mounted battery system that powers everything from one source.
Next paradigm is infantry combat goes the way of the dodo. >Spot shit with drones >Shoot shit with indirect fire from vehicles >Anything that survives has a personal suicide drone assigned to their ass
Infantry are expensive, vulnerable fleshbags compared to all the tech that is coming up. They'll probably survive as combat engineers, to make openings into bunkers and buildings, clear mines, search areas etc. but that's a niche job.
I've always wondered when people will realize infantry is just bipedal mechs, which everyone always argues against as being impractical compared to tracked vehicles.
Once drone swarms/chains come into play and can form country sized laser meshnets there'll be absolutely zero reason for a human being to be anywhere near the front line.
You'll still need a tremendous amount of manpower, but it'll be all drone operators, mechanics, and factory workers.
Think about how much more effective a guy working on an assembly line is at killing russians than an infantryman. It's honestly a massive waste to send people out to fight when they could be building artillery shells or piloting drones.
I still don't understand why we don't have caseless ammunition autocannons and artillery. I guess some guns use the naval charge + projectile thing but some still have big ol brass case which makes even less sense for tanks.
?
Tanks use combustible cases. 152/155 mm arty universally uses separate loading charges.
I don't know about 122/127 mm arty, but them aside, full cases are limited to 76 mm or less.
>152
No.
Most 152 and 122 still uses the old system with semi-fixed ammo. The propellant charge can be "full charge" or "reduced charge". Same as 105mm.

It's the Glock of rifles, pure utilitarian aesthetic but it's insides are a pure work of art.
>Glock
>aesthetic
Pick one
I'd honestly rather carry a subpar POS like a Taurus than a Glock for no other reason than looks.
That said, caseless is cool enough to overlook the fact that OP rifle has all the flash and sizzle of a UPS truck.
>utilitarian aesthetic
Look it up.
>would rather carry a taurus than a glock because of looks
Ah so you're stupid, that explains everything.

Didn't intend to bait anyone with my Glock hate

That isn't a thing, as soon as any degree of aesthetics are a consideration in a design it ceases to be utilitarian.
>brutalist battle-plank.
Now I really want to hide my face.
>caseless ammo

They just needed to dress up the exterior a little. It could look as snazzy as Tom Cruise's Bushmaster from Oblivion, really.
Sight is so low
Don't be talking shit about the caseless murder mailbox.
overengineered german crap

>imagine doing all of this in an extreme stress situation
that why you have 450 rounds in magazins ready to shoot
>it's like wanting to redesign something already perfect like a keyboard
I wouldn't mind a board with alphabetically ordered keys

Fricking amazeballs
VHS aesthetics

No. Have you seen what is trendy with AR-15s lately?
>THICC

What a huge piece of shit that rifle was.
>that rate of fire

how is it different from using clips?
What's wrong with a slower ROF? It looks like it would be really smooth and easy to control.
Looks like he's shouldering a VCR player.
I like the squad automatic weapon version.
If you get shot in the buttstock, does it has blow up panels?
What will the next paradigm in smallarms be? It has to be substantial since incremental improvements like the nsgw.
Imo it will be the proliferation of digital target recognition HUDS paired with automated triggers. Something the US has with IVAS and the israelis with the IWI arbel
It would have been plastic cased ammo if not for israelites
30 years ago maybe, but with target recognition and ballistic calculation being semi reliable it can already make any m4 shoot with deadly accuracy

You're thinking of the AR15. Especially when it's covered in attachments.
G11 is cute.
>Is this kraut shit the ugliest gun ever designed
No, she's very cute
It's beautiful, you absolute trogdolyte.
Can't hit the broadside of a barn, of course, but the aesthetics are spot on.

Some do some don't. I'm thinking more about faster firing auto cannons. Maybe those super fast CIWS guns.

No.
Most 152 and 122 still uses the old system with semi-fixed ammo. The propellant charge can be "full charge" or "reduced charge". Same as 105mm.
Frick you, I fricking love rectangle gun
The Belgian knockoff is fun too. Built-in bipod and 120!!! rounds per magazine.
Rude!!!!

Theres some guy on plebbit recreating the G11 from scratch
