Slowest Clock - 600 RPM
Normal Clock - 1800 RPM
Fasted Clock - 2000 RPM used on 3 round burst
Magazine: 60 or 120 Detachable Flat Mag
Barrel lenght: 650 mm, 24 Inches
Action: Full Auto, 3 Round Burst, Semi-Auto, Manual, Safety
Caliber: 4.7 x 33 Caseless
Maximum Range:
1470 meters W/ Armor Piercing-incendiary-tracer
2400 meters Ball standard FMJ
Barrel Twist Rate: once per 9 inches
Maximum Wear and Tear: Every 560,000 rounds
Effective Range: 1000 Meters

Composite Structure Explained: Using highly durable plastics such as Kevlar, and Vectran Re-enforced plates to make corrosion almost a thing of the past even in the most harsh environments. Alumna-Oxide makes up the barrel, chamber and other integral internal parts for it's super lightweight and insanely high melting temperature. Near that of diamonds, and as for the 60 round clip the minimal 4.7 millimeter is very ergonomic as well as keeping it's deadly abilities. Even at it's maximum range in testing at 3400 meters the bullet plowed through a American Military standard issue helmet because of the immense muzzle velocity as none of the escaping gasses are let out. It is also extremely reliable due to the fact that it is impossible to jam; doesn't use the complex bullet mechanism used in the G11, and has ample room for parts to move in and the immense heat or super cold temperatures it can withstand. Also because of it's lower than 2000 RPM clock rate for sustained fire you no longer risk mis-fires. Also ample room behind the grip and trigger is given to the magazine so loading is an easy and quick task. It also comes with a delayed recoil system in which the barrel reciprocates separately from the gun into the body of the gun to have the recoil softened by a small set of springs and air. Which, when the barrel is forced back from recoil; the air is compressed and softens the blow. After which is let out under the butt stock killing recoil dead; well on single shot or 3 round burst that is. To make for more accessability and conveniance it also sports a universal sling mount similar to that of the M60 Mk.2 . Also a Muzzle Break similar to the ground breaking and so far at the forefront of Muzzle Break technology similar to that of the AK-101 or something to that effect as it is in the Kalashnikov series which points the gasses at a 45 degree angle compensating for recoil and for the rise of the gun. When coupled with all of these other systems it manages to almost fully kill recoil dead leaving to feeling the power to that of a low end low grain .35 special bullet.

Great Grip Features:
Developed by our competition shooter to improve shooter accuracy, these are a must have for Military and Law Enforcement personnel. The anti-slip surface provides a friction grip that makes take-away or loss of control in violent situations less likely.

• Unique Semi-Permanent Anti-Slip Material
• Works in All Weather Conditions: Water, Mud, Snow, Slime
• Excellent for Sweaty, Oily & Gloved Hands
• Install or Remove in Seconds
• Leaves No Sticky Residue on Weapon
• Applies easily over factory grips and plates
• Made in the Valens
• Pack of 3 Spares

Colors: (03) Black; (06) Sand/Tan

The grips are made from a patented and undiclosed material; this grip makes up the foregrip and stock as well as regular grip areas.

(Sorry for any spelling mistakes, and or cloudy sentence structure... I'm just really fucking tired and stressed out right now.)

Price: $2,000 USD

Accessories: Anything mountable upon a RAIL/Pincatty mount. Which includes scopes and bayonettes.

and or for an extra 5k

A 6x computerized sight; easily interchangeable in magnifaction of the lenses and can be mounted upon the RAIL system. Is to make this rifle one of the most firesom on the battlefield. Using dual core AMD 3.6 Gigahertz chipset at full clock coupled with TTFT's to minimize size; heat, possible damage, and weight to make a targeting computer 10x + faster than any other targeting computer. IR Sights are included/built in as well as NV. After aquiring size, threat, and range of a target a threat assessment is made as well as a cursor over thier bodies which compensates for distance; speed, height, range, windage, bullet-bore etc, etc all you do is have to put your sights over the cursor and pull the trigger..

OOC: It's entirely feasable because
1. The G11 faces many complications on simple fact the bullet turning system, at 3 round burst it fires at an astounding 2000 RPM but at full auro it decreases to 600 RPM. Getting rid of the bullet turn system risks misfires AT 2000 RPM or more, at 1800 RPM it's safe for full auto though shoots 200 rounds slower than when on 3 round burst and doesn't risk mis fires, or lowering RPM's.

2. Can shoot at sustained fire and take 560 hundred thousand rounds as it's life span because Alumina-Oxide is 3x stronger than steel and has a melting temprature near that of diamonds.

3. Because of it's rather large size and 24 inch barrel it is hugely accurate and because of it's small bullet caliber though it lacks the range of .50 BMG rounds.

4. Because it isn't gas operated like other assault rifles and because the casing falls out rapidly escaping gasses are lost which can contribute to much higher muzzle velocities

5. Delayed recoil systems are already on many guns, tanks, and IS on the G11...

Now how many times would you have to pull the trigger to get 2000 rpm with 3-round bursts...
It'd have to be made out of something probaly expensive to have that high a melting point.
It's accuracy would get jarred anyway by firing that many rounds, recoil or no, even sniper rifles move when you fire them.
Why would you have a sniper MG anyway, since regular MGs do the job of spraying down areas for a much cheaper job. Snipers serve their own purpose.

well, it fires a bullet that my country doesn't have any stocks of, and it is trying to compete with the $50 AK-47 and $60 M-16. Both of which use fairly common ammunition.

4.7 mm caseless

A lightwieght Heavy Machine gun or Sniper rifle on the other hand might sell at the price you are offering.

Simple math:
for $2,800 USD (the price of one of your guns)
I could get
30 or so M-16s

and let's say 25% of them, due to shoddy workmanship, jam by the second clip. (8) and take 10 seconds to clear their chambers.

22 M-16 firing at a modest 11,000 rpm (500 rpm each M-16) and 660 rounds in their clips (30 round clips)

And 30 soldiers to kill to silence the 'gun' And can engage multiple targets at once. (about 15 directions covered)

Vs

One gun firing at 1600 Rpm, jams on every 10000th round, and needs another clip change every mere 120 rounds.

And one well aimed bullet puts the gun out of action. And may only enfgage the enemy one clump at a time. (one direction at a time)

Of course this is ignoring the logistical tail for feeding and training those 30 men vs the one, and the much higher 'signature' a 30 man group would leave marching around on covert operations.

This last bit mentioned, PROHT shall 'evaluate' 150 examples of your gun in urban warfare enviroments. May you give it a belt feed kit (lke the Peterson kit issued for the M1903 Springfield SAW/standard bolt action rifle)

It uses Alumina-Oxide and highly durable plastics both of which are retardedly light; if anything it should weigh less but then recoil would be a bit more of a problem; all of you guys spamming MY topic is really going to F'up sales thank you. You might want to read the article; also there is no way you people produce XM-29's for cheaper. It's impossible without not making any profit.

I don't get why you people argue realism why you buy and shell crap a lot more unrealistic. While this on the otherhand if you actually read the article instead of spamming my god damn topic, is entirely feasable.

OOC: Pretty unrealistic. While having no ejection port increases muzzle velocity, it also increases recoil. You make a really light gun, with a style that increases recoil, that fires faster than all other in use assault rifles in the world, and you must use a large amount of powder to drive the bullet that far, that accurate. The recoil would be, felt, probably around that of an ak-47 per bullet, since the G11, using the same sized bullet, with a nearly same sized barrel, only got a 400m effective range. You are more than quadrupling the range on it.

26-04-2006, 04:49
the Dleayed recoil doesn't 'Kill Recoil Dead' it just DELAYS it (maybe you should 'lern 2 read') so while, in a 3rd burst or automatic fire mode (esp. 3rd burst, because of the uber high RoF) the recoil of the first round or two is not felt until after the third round has left the chamber. wich means that the first three rounds will be unaffected by recoil. the recoil, while lessened by the delay and by shock absorbing features built into the G-11, still happens.

You can't totally do away with recoil unless you expell something with equal KE (mass*velocity) in the opposite direction to the firing of the bullet.
Valens Res Publica
26-04-2006, 04:53
OOC: All a delayed recoil system is; is springs. My delayed recoil system includes air which compresses as the energy from the recoil is applied. When enough force is applied the air is let out so that it's not felt.

As I said, mine kills recoil dead; it's coupled with a normal delayed recoil system.
Mondoth
26-04-2006, 05:00
the G-11 recoil delay system is atually rollers+springs, the rollers let the 'action' physically move backwards in the case (which gives the G-11 its funny apperance)

compressing air won't get rid of the recoil, their is still physically mass moving in reaction to the firing of the bullet and unless that momentum is applied somehow externally to the weapon then there will be recoil, you can't beat the Third Law of Motion, trust me, its been tried.
Valens Res Publica
26-04-2006, 05:02
OOC: Well compressing the air would help eliminate the recoil; no? Here I want to continue this arguement; and I will pick it up tommorrow as for now. I'm tired and am going to sleep. Thanks for the insight though.

26-04-2006, 05:05
it would help yes, but it would be pretty inefficient, espescially in size and weight, and it still wouldn't completely eliminate the recoil

26-04-2006, 14:01
What i would like to know is how you take a round that is more or less stops beign effective at a max of about 400m and make it effective over 3kms...
(from what i can see the common effective rnage for a round is the one at which it still retains 500ft lbs of energy also the 4.7mm roudns tops being super sonic at about 1000m which isn't great)

So unless you have managed to improve the powder charge by about 5x giving your weapon more muzzle energy than a .338 lapua magnum i really don't see where you get your perfromance figures.

Of course if you have tragectory and ballaistics data please feel free to prove me wrong.

Also what exact loading/feeding mechanism does your weapon use? and how do you clear a dud round?

26-04-2006, 14:40
I'm not professional enough to start debating the details with anyone, but this gun still appears to me as a nice, original design, in which several problems of the RL guns have been pretty well solved.

The effective range is something what I'm not so sure about, though. As stated above, to make a bullet fly further and faster than before, you need to put more pow(d)er into the cartridge. Which increases weight and recoil, making it less useful in close quarters. You haven't done that, and I just can't see where does all that thrusting power come from.
Other than that, I do think this is a well-working consept and would indeed purchase some, if there wasn't this issue with the cartridge. See, even though the caseless has proven to be highly effective in assault rifles (less so in higher calibre weapons though) I, like many others, happen to have stunning stockpiles of some other ammunition. To completely change the standard calibre of my army, I would need several other weapons - most notably a real GP machinegun - using 4.7mm also due the logistical difficulties that come with having too much variation in the used ammunition of one unit.
So, if we'd give up of our 6.5mm it would require the whole scale of infantry weapons beign designed. And be just insanely expencive.

By the way, I have never really understood the idea of trying to put all three - a sniper, light MG and assault rifle - into one weapon. If you want them all, it will not be THE BEST in none of them. Best machineguns are indeed made to be machineguns from the beginning, and that's equally true with sniper rifles, submachine guns and assault rifles as well. Or atleast that's my opinion of it.

Anyways, keep up the good work!

I was also wondering, is there a posibility for interchangable ammo. Could I put maybe a 7.62 bullet into this thing and fire it the same way I could maybe a 5.56 (I may be off on that last number). If this gun could somehow utilize that feature im sure lots of people will buy them

A P90 system isn't really goign to work when the magazine is underneath the weapon and the P-90s chamber and barrel design are pretty much idenitical to the conventional design which were been proved not to work with caseless ammuntition and are in thier own way more complex than than the G11s.
I never commented about heat or even chamber preasure (which would actually be a bit more important than heat in terms fo design), my main concern is why you claimed to use exactly the same ammo as the G-11 yet claimed imposisble performance for it, what you have hear is a new round which will be at least twice as long as 4.7x33mm and at least 3 times the weight. To be honest the light 4.7mm round is Ok for short range but if you want into the 1000m+ range you really need at least 6.5mm 144grain bullet.

What you ahve hear is a very nciely drawn rifle with soem nice idea that is unfortuantly let down by soem big errors.

A P90 system isn't really goign to work when the magazine is underneath the weapon and the P-90s chamber and barrel design are pretty much idenitical to the conventional design which were been proved not to work with caseless ammuntition and are in thier own way more complex than than the G11s.
I never commented about heat or even chamber preasure (which would actually be a bit more important than heat in terms fo design), my main concern is why you claimed to use exactly the same ammo as the G-11 yet claimed imposisble performance for it, what you have hear is a new round which will be at least twice as long as 4.7x33mm and at least 3 times the weight. To be honest the light 4.7mm round is Ok for short range but if you want into the 1000m+ range you really need at least 6.5mm 144grain bullet.

What you ahve hear is a very nciely drawn rifle with soem nice idea that is unfortuantly let down by soem big errors.OOC: Yeh; your right. I'll edit the specs and add the G7 Assault/Sniper rifle which uses 6.8 SPC.

OOC: A simple P90 style feed under the stock and a Bullpup load. The grains are upped by about 4-5x because the chamber can take such heats while the bullets stay extremely light because of the composite choice of grainage.
Ummm, you realize that grains is a measurement of weight, just like pounds or ounces, right? No matter what you make it out of, a 130 grain bullet still weighs...130 grains. Just like a pound of lead weighs just as much as a pound of feathers.

[OOC: Source? The grain should be exactly the same since it's an Imperial unit of mass. Grains should also be the same changing from avoirdupois, troy and apothecary... so, grain wouldn't change with quality. The number of grains would, since a higher quality propellant could get similar velocities with less weight [in grains]... but the grain is a steady weight... it does not change.]

What happens when your gun runs out of compressed air?

As long as you use a good bipod/tripod, muzzle brake, sling, and a good solid grip, and limit the gun to bursts/semi-auto (to let the recoil chamber refill itself). It would be fine. Heck, if al the above recoil management techniquies where used, it would be 'the most accurate MG around'

Muzzle brakes work by deflecting exhaust gasses in the direction you don't want the gun top go (backwards for recoil, up to compenate for 'climb'). And can reduce recoil by 25%.

Bipods and tripods would dig into the ground like a recoil spade, you'll ave to wiegh the gun down to keep it from 'jumping' out of its rut though, this prevents recoil travel.

Slings allow a better grip of the gun, and increase accuracy by 20% on average.

Delayed recoil, and slower burning powders (coupled with longer barrels). Allow greater muzzle velocities with less felt recoil. (Acceleration of bullet/gun slowed down, meaning easier to compensate for recoil yourself)

Force=Mass times Acceleration
KE= M*V^2

another good figure for range and penetration is sctional density.
Frontal area of projectile (generally Pi*R^2)*KE

OOC: Though the G7 using 6.8 SPC should be sufficient as a Sniper Rifle or Assault rifle though I already think my 4.7 by 33 sounds fine too. Besides if I reduce the range to what it should be. Which would be a few dozen more meters than what the G11 got since the barrel on my gun is much longer. I'll have ranges similar to that of Gas-Operated 5.56, or 6.7 Remmington.

OOC: Interesting concept, but there are legitimate arguments that have been made here. I also checked your nation out, nice flag btw. Anyways, speaking as an infanteer I can say that not many infantry would want this weapon. The insane rate of fire is not a good thing, as infantry have to haul their ammo, and even a quick click on full auto will burn through a fair number of rounds. Also, the accuracy, to be perfectly honest, is unrealistic. Sniper rifles achieve that accuracy because of long heavily rifled barrels and large cartridges, but a 4.7 simply wouldn't be able to pull it off. Also its quite frankly, unnecessary, as most small arms engagements are within a couple hundred meters, and without a dedicated sniper scope you would never spot an enemy to make use of the range. Also, the 24 inch barrel is a major drawback in urban environments. Something more like a 16 inch barrel is far preferable. Knock the barrel down to 16 inches, and cut back the range, and I might just buy a few for my special forces.

When the gun shoots there is an air-tight seal between the gun and the air chamber and so when the barrel is pushed back it compresses the air effectively killing recoil... Super effectively... Spelling mistake I was tired; missed the zero key and I thought I hit it and god damnit I fucking love you. Thanks for all of these sources I'll be adding them ASAP.

Smaller round, bigger cartridge = much more recoil and flatter shooting.

The ultra-small caseless rounds will also wiegh much less than NATO 5.56 mm.

Being a long and thin bullet it is almost garaunteed to tumble upon impact at even long ranges too. Causing horendous injuries.

US military chose the 5.56 mm because it was lighter, fired better bursts, and they found that for every soldier injured , two or more men would be put out of action, whereas a fatality would only put out one. and pound for pound, you could carry 3 clips of 5.56 mm vs one of .308 cal NATO.

Not necessarilly. My Hali-42 uses a .221 round, which should have a similar or greater distance to the .224 [standard 5.56mm] because it has greater muzzle velocity, which is achieved through a binary liquid propellant. A bit of a different case, but less mass is not invariably less distance, although yes, normally mass does change at greater percentages than velocity.

Wind speed and direction, humidity, and temperature all affect the accuracy of a round. Therefore, having less mass decreases accuracy as well, as the projectile has less momentum to counter these effects.
Long to short, you would be right if you used either 'effective range' or accuracy.

Having a higher-powered scope does not guaranteed accuracy either, it just makes it easier to read mill dots. I could shoot as accurately with a 3,4x scope as I could with my 40x Barska. It's just one hell of a lot harder. Emphasis on both hell and harder.

Not just see what it is in your crosshairs, but see anything in your crosshairs. A good optical sight won't do shit at half a klick against trained soldiers with any concept of cam and concealment. Even with your electronic scope, the problem is you won't be able to SEE a target until your a few hundred meters away. Unless you're a sniper, in which case you've spent a good amount of time dedicated to enemy detection, concealment, and you're probably conducting operations outside of normal combat, or just before an assault when an enemy's likely to have his head up and you have time to spare finding them. While your sight is impressive, it's just to much to make general issue and would be really expensive to produce. Also, the NV and IR systems have limited range on a rifle platform, a large dedicated thermal sight could be procured, but would also have limited range though be more effective (not to mention epensive). Keep in mind, a second generation rifle scope with just night vision costs $2000, a more up to date 3rd generation closer to $3000, a fully integrated 3.6 ghz thermal imaging, adjustable range, and night vision suite that also possesses effective battlefield reliability would rack up toward 15 to 20 thousand. A joint night vision/thermal goggles (not scope, and not a 3.6ghs integrated computer, just goggles) cost about 13 thousand.

Oh, one more thing. This would make a poor machine gun. Accuracy for a machine gun is not a good thing. The effectiveness of an MG is it's ability to lay down heavy volumes of spread out suppressive fire and to produce a 'beaten zone', a wide area of pure lethality for anything unfortunate enough to be caught in it. That is why machine guns have less rifling than rifles, because less rifling decreases accuracy, allowing the bullets to spread out more and generate a cone shape when firing. I believe there was an instance of one type of machine gun being to accurate, and had to mount a vibrator to shake it and decrease accuracy. This isn't against your weapon in specific, but applies to all rifles that serve as machine guns, you need to mount a new barrel and downgrade the accuracy in other ways to accomplish it.

Smaller barrel's can be changed in if more spread is needed; and change the ammunition to hollow points which dented cavities cause severe spread. Good MG.

As for the processor, it's 400 bucks <--- Deal with AMD. The TTFT systems up to about 20 bucks as they extremely cheap for us to manufacture. All I am paying for is a for a some-what decent IR, and NV sight system. About 2k each. Not something meant for super long distance shots; well the IR and NV aren't anway. Just for shooting through walls and rooms infensted with hosties. The scope has a computer which tells you where to aim after it couculates the distance bore; etc, etc.. And places a small red dot on the scope; as thats where the bullet is going to go when the trigger is pulled not the red dot at the center of the scope.

You are thinking of Sir Richard's original Gatling gun. It wasn't a vibrator. At was a cammed tripod that slowly traversed the gun from left to right as it was cranked.

This was necesary because the gun was mounted on a carrige designed to fire a 25 pound rifled shell with dead on accuracy.

The gun mount was way too stable.

I think the gun I'm thinking of was something more WW2, though it probably is the gatling. Anyways, it doesn't overly matter. And an all out computer system that calculates where you need to aim is quite complicated and expensive. The clarification of the TI/NV system helps but that still means a total production cost (not to mention integrating them all) of about 4500, closer to 4750 or 5k. That's still to much for general issue, unless you want to have a smaller, better equipped force, and it doesn't address other issues such as a 24 inch barrel is ridicously long and cumbersome (the C7s 20 inch barrel is considered a bit much). As for your weapon, I'm not saying it isn't theoretically possible, because I'm sure crazier shit's been done (the US did land on the moon) but it doesn't change the fact it isn't overly practical, if the sight fails an infanteer is not near smart enough to perform a battlefield repair and only specialized computer techs could fix it, and if its all that the sight will be large and bulky at best. Also, an issue with the processor is that a 3.6ghz processor creates a lot of heat, requiring fans or liquid cooling for dissipation, liquid cooling wouldn't be ideal for battlefield use due to the fact that it could easily break under stress and the sights now useless, and a fan would require openings for dirt and water to enter and mess things up.

OOC: TTFT's produce 1% the heat generated by Silicon; and transfer information 10x faster. Thank the University of Berkley for inventing this stuff which will soon replace Silicon for computers. The only thing producing heat will be the processor but the heat will be absorbed by the TTFT's which have been applied to small Alumina-Oxide layers which will absorb the heat with ease and can take it being left on for dozens of years and used heavily without a single overheat malfuntion. TTFT's can also withstand insane heats while dried and can operate perfectly fine at super cold and hot tempratures.

Fine I'll up the price to 5k, but they will be nowhere near bulky. NV has been incorperates insanely small camera devices and still have effective ranges. While IR doesn't have to be extremely expensive and the size of the IR can be reduces by about 50 or more % though the use of TTFT's

The only other 'odd' gun I can think of is the Vickers.

It didn't have enough natural recoil so they added a 'backwards muzzle brake' called a recouperator so that it would have enough 'kick' to cycle to the next bullet.

Well I havn`t read much of anything here sense my post about I dont know like 2 pages ago. Anyway the production of this weapon could easly be done by utilizing overseas work. Find a country with a low population, poor people, and a weak government. Tell them that you will pay the people money to build the guns, your exchange rate should do the rest. By the time they produce the weapons (They would be non-slave workers so they would actually try to make the best gun they could) you would have made a crapeload of money, helped a small economy and yet only shoveled out like I dont know I would say $1000 dollars.

Like I said before as well we would be glad to have the production rights sent to our companies, we have a large arms industry. We can produce the guns here and for a small compesation fee ship them to you so you can ship them to other consumers.

the price you see for the M-16 is really a crapload of markup for profit and to pay government tolls on selling and amrketing military type weapons to anyone but america. the Price for the Army (and allies) is like 150-300 dollars. In nation states, where labor laws can and are pretty often ignored and where weapons can be uber-mass produced, 60-80 dollars for a gun as cheap as an M-16 is prety reasonable.
and the AK-47 is cheap even compared to the M-16 and is probably the only weapon in RL to ever be hyper-mass produced.
um no
You forget civillan companies make it, and they dont do it out of a sense patriotic duty or the goddness of thier hearts. They do it for profit and m16s costs the government a little over $500 each. Although if a soldier loses one he has to pay about $2300 for it, go figure =/

yeah, they are civvie companies, whioch is why they have to pay the cash if they want to sell to non-american military types.

it might be 500 with all the add ons, but the base price is around 150-200.

looks like you're right, Usually FAS prices are FY96-98 cost so I wasn't sure that the 586$ was right. but apparently it is
