Why are you stating a given? It has already been stated that the 7.92mm Kurz was just a cut down 7.92x57mm round, the rim and first half of the...
Oh I think I get it alright..... I've trying to point out from the start how 7.92mm Kurz production would increase gradually along with the...
Because I quite simply don't believe it can be done lwd, not in one long burst of fire. I took note of the date, but again we're talking rounds...
The thing is we're not talking about a reallocation of manpower or resources here, we're talking about a different use of materials brought to the...
Bren gun for me. Better suited for the support role IMHO, featuring a larger magazine and an easily changeable barrel etc etc...
So now you're the expert on this or what? I disagree, and I have logical reasons for doing so, cause quite frankly I don't see the sense in your...
Thought you guys should see this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=foZlciP6gUQ&NR=1&feature=fvwp :D
I disagree. The G43 was a much more expensive weapon to produce, and the impact it would've had on the battlefield insignificant in comparison to...
StG chambered in 8x57mm?? Then it is no longer an assault rifle, just a fully automatic rifle. No point in adopting it then as the G43 was already...
The end result might very well have been the same, but it would've taken longer and cost more lives to get there. You could probably compare it...
I can only say I was very dissappointed in that book when I got it. It perpetuates a lot of the old untrue myths out there, like the fictional...
Imagine if the Germans had completely replaced the K98k as the std. service arm with this beast in early 1944:...
It's never easy to prove a negative lwd. You have misunderstood something lwd. First of all the ammunition used back in WW1 wasn't just...
And what claims would that be lwd? That their barrels wouldn't last for 20,000 rounds of non-stop firing? I think that has been proven quite...
But again, we're talking about one long continuous burst in this discussion - at least I am. And not many MG barrels will last very long then....
No you're right, apparently I didn't. Sustained to me meant what the word usually means. Different places, different wording, what do ya know....
Spot on. And in combat you often exceed these parameters. As for the test of the M1917 MG, here obviously all such parameters were completely...
Yeah, it was 2,665 fps for the M1 Tracer and 2,640 fps for the regular M1 Ball (assuming it is similar to the M72) according to this place: .30...
Ofcourse I can, but as you should know different dimensions doesn't refer just to barrel thickness. For an MG & rifle barrel to be interchangeable...
You must mean 2,500 fps in regards to the 172 grain M1 Ball round.
