Replacing the Krag was bullshit. There was a two-lug Krag in the 1890s that was offered to both America and Norway, but "muh cost" was the factor that killed it. So naturally the army was happy to spend much more money designing an entirely new rifle instead of just improving the design they already had.
Give it a second lug, up the powder load, and drop the bullet weight to 160 grains, and it'll perform just as well as any Mauser.
>muh outdated rimmed ammo
The .30-40 was designed from the beginning with both rimmed and rimless versions. No excuse.
Too complex, the simpler mauser won out only to be benched for a war 15 years later then dusted off for the next big war to be benched again by the Garand.
The "standardization" era was some shit but when you have money it doesn't really mean much.
I mean, just ditch the moronic cutoff. That's a simplification there.
The internals alone were some shit compared to the mauser so everyone agreed less moving parts = more reliable.
I'm still of the opinion that simplifying the Krag would've been much cheaper.
pre ww1 army wasnt big enough for that to matter
>but when you have money it doesn't really mean much
The pre-'40 military barely had a budget. They pinched so many pennies that their fingeprints were Lincoln heads. Why do you think the Mk.14 prostitutepedo wasn't tested?
>to be benched again by the Garand
the m1903 springfield was more common than the Garand tho
Just for Marines in the Pacific in 1942. Army had Garands the whole time, and Marines got Garands after Guadalcanal.
on guadalcanal maybe
>3 million m1903s built
>5.5 million Garands
Wut?
Based, however pissing off the krauts by just stealing their rifle was really funny. Still think the Eddystone was better than both tho.
It's funny how every american service rifle has been a stolen design, but they somehow make it worse, in the case of the krag it's the weak round and weak action with a single locking lug.
The majority of American service rifles are indigenous to Burgerland.
various muskets were copies of bong designs
trapdoor was american
krag was norwegian
1903 was german
garand was designed by a canadian
m16 is american but now made by waffleBlack folk
not a great record

Yeah, Burgerland domestically designs our own stuff most of the time.
Shoot, I forgot the Rollingblock.
lee was a leaf too
Scottish. Important thing is that the Bongs can't claim him.
>Lee is just as much of a Scot as Garand is a leaf
They can choose only one
No coinidence that the most talented gunsmiths are born or bred in America.
Or immigrate here. Forgot to add that.

On that note, God, I wish Korobov was able to come here. We were robbed of the better Kel-Tec that would've run on cocaine made of Cthulhu's dandruff because the fricking Soviets kept him locked up at Tula. That's why none of his designs entered production, Russia (and Euros in general) can't innovate weapons like we do. Anyone among them who can get's squashed down and forced to file paperwork instead of realizing their dreams.
If only someone were to replicate that, then we'd have a bullpup with adjustable stock and short LOP, as well as forward eject.
Literally most of the remaining problems with bullpups would vanish in an instant.

Black person what.
John Garand was French Canadian.
amerimutts in general are bad at making rifles. The M14 and its derivatives are a hilarious shit show. The M60 is comical in how much of an abomination it is. The AR-15 design only stuck around for "muh modularity" when superior designs like the AUG eclipse it in literally every way. And don't get me started on handguns. SOCOM is still running fudd 1911s for frick's sake.
Tell me, which glorious rifles did your nation invent?
The AUG (the greatest assault rifle ever made) along with the Glock (the greatest pistol ever made) or the SSG 08 (the greatest sniper rifle ever made).
I also still have my foreskin. Seethe + dilate
>brings up dicks unprompted
I don't think you're as happy as you're pretending to be, closeted homo
AUG uses modified AR-18 system. Glock uses modified Browning tilting barrel. No burgerland, no Glock or AUG.
>stinky brown muttoid taking credit for based aryan guns
Literally the equivalent of chinks taking credit for all firearms ever invented because they discovered gun powder.
Maybe if muttoids made serviceable designs from the start actual white people wouldn't have to improve upon them to make them great?
Guranteed your country uses M2 and some variation of Armalite. Cope and Seethe, Yuropoor.
Sydney and her magnificent Sweenies.
Shut the frick up you irrelevant homosexual.
Post your guns that you totally own, curry Black person
>Copies an American design
>Makes it out of injection-molded plastic.
Gaston Glock was Chinese = confirmed.
Stop coping. Glocks are better than any pistol amerimutts have ever made. They are also better than any embarrassing clone made from it. Gaston Glock is an Aryan genius and has more foreskin than the entirety of muttshartica combined.
Anything with a rifled barrel shooting a rifle cartridge is, by definition, a rifle, you fricking lobotomite.
You're boring
>better than any pistol amerimutts have made
Black person any Smith and Wesson even the shitty ones like the Shitma and M&P blow glocks out of the water, then Italians have had you beat for almost a century, and dare I say even fricking SIG makes a better gun than glock.
Keep coping nazi.
All of those are considerably worse than Glocks. And you just called him a nazi which is troon for conceding defeat.
Nazi = white Black person
Normal people (non-losers) don't have authoritarian power fantasies and pretend Hitler is their daddy
This. The Anglo-Saxons are the only Germanics who still adhere to the ancient Germanic Common Law. All the other Germanics succumbed to Roman style laws, surrendering to the filthy Walhaz. Any Nordics or Germanics who immigrated to the Anglosphere returned to their tradition.
>superior designs like the AUG eclipse it in literally every way
Holy shit europoors are fricking deluded
Except being more modular, having a better trigger, and being half the price. Plus, the aug isn't even ambi unless you buy a different bolt, an embarrassing design choice for any bullpup. The AUG isn't even in the top 5 best alternatives to the AR.
Seething muttBlack person.
While that’s true, the Mauser system is moronicly simple and would probably be more robust and serviceable in the field
Noguns E*ropoor cope. Please do tell how superior the AUG is to the AR-15.
Also, our bullpups are better than yours.

The AUG, FAMAS and SA80 series have seen quite a bit of action the world over, so even if you don't count any others, you should count those. Even if the original L85 was shit
literally who?

when will euromutts learn?
what american rifles have you actually used?
M60 was a MG42 knock off.

handguns too

Opinion discarded.
That gif's fricking hilarious, where's it from?
RRR a bollywood movie on netflic. It's pretty funny but at 3 hours it's its own movie and sequel
I just watched it and it was dogshit, other than the first 15 minutes.
You must be a real homosexual to shill for a movie that gay on a fricking mongolian basket weaving forum.
RRR is fricking over the top stupid kino. The animals in the garden party scene were fricking incredible.
>t. Panjeet
Sorry but Bollywood is dogshit and so is the rest of India lmao
>doesn't like RRR
You have no soul
Are you moronic? Samuel Colt invented the revolver in 1836.
The rest of the world has been copying America ever since.
Well, what glorious rifles did your nation invent? It's just a question.
DESIGNATED SHITTING RIFLE
There is more poo in that image than you think.
Yeah, there's a bunch smeared on the pistol grip and handguard
>India "invents" an AK

Look under the sling. Is that poo? Lmao
I can smell the curry soaked hands that typed this
Norway used the Krag from 1894, and the last of them were still Home Guard issue in the early 1960s. During ww2 occupation the Germans forced the factories in Norway to keep manufacturing it for Wehrmacht second line units.
It is a good, solid weapon. I have one. The mechanism is smooth and reliable. But the fact is, compared to a k98 Mauser there are issues. The smaller 6.5x55 caliber is one thing but more serious is that you have to hand feed it one and one bullet, whereas you can shove in an entire clip with the Mauser. This means that all your ammo must be in loose rounds. Manufacturewise the Mauser requires fewer parts and fewer manufacture steps, making it cheaper and faster to make. Also it takes less training. Finally, it is more difficult to mount a scope on a standard Krag than on a standard k98.
>t. Norwegian

they want stripper clip, moron
I've rebuilt both a 96 Krag and an 03 Springfield from stripped receivers, and I regularly compete with both at CMP vintage rifle matches. I also own an 89 Danish Krag with a 2 lug bolt, if that matters at all.
First, if you look at the complexity of the US Krag receiver versus the Springfield, you will notice that it is massively more complicated to manufacture
Second, stripper clip loading on the Springfield is a huge improvement over the dump loading of the Krag, and the rimmed ammo and vertical ejection only add insult to injury. I can tell you from my competition experience that my scores are on average 10 points higher with the Springfield primarily due to the lack of drama during the rapid-fire stages, which include a mandatory reload on the clock.
I love the Krag and enjoy competing with it, but the 03 is a dramatic improvement in a variety of significant ways, and no amount of realistic improvements to it would bring it up to the 03's level or down to the 03's manufacturing cost.
>Rifles which use a copy or derivative of the AR-18 gas system include: German HK G36, HK416, FN F2000, FN-SCAR, Steyr AUG, CZ 805 BREN, Chinese QBZ-95, Daewoo K1, HOWA Type 89, SAR-88, T-91 and British SA80 family of weapon systems.[7][39][6][4][5]

That rifle is beautiful. I wish it was more common.
frick I thought the yuropoor coper had left us.
