If I could have...
 
Thinking about it, I wish I have a top break revolver like this:

How about a Gillon .577?

Jcordell 05-04-2010 08:37 AM

Looks like Hellboy's backup piece.

Judging by the magazine, they used a Spectre M4 ( http://world.guns.ru/smg/smg21-e.htm ). That is the only smg I know of to use that type of magazine.

The video caption says they used an SWD M11/9 as the base gun, but I admit, those mags don't look very MAC-ish.

Excalibur 05-04-2010 04:24 PM

Whatever it is, I want it

MT2008 05-04-2010 04:33 PM

The M41A is a cool sci-fi weapon (probably my favorite), but let's face it...in this day and age, it wouldn't be practical for almost any purpose besides looking cool in a movie. It has zero modularity, and its iron sights look like they must be crap (plus, the carry handle is permanently mounted and has no rail, so you couldn't put a scope on it).

It's one of those "futuristic" movie weapons that isn't aging so well. Just looking at it, you can tell it was designed in the 1980s.

Excalibur 05-04-2010 04:47 PM

Well back in the 80s, this look was one of the most advance gun ever seen that has that futuristic look and functionality. If this gun was made today, it'd have removable carrying handle, scope or red dot, a lot of rails, etc

Spartan198 05-04-2010 11:17 PM

I want this, even if it is an HK... :o

Even further down the description it says it uses Finnish Magazines. What I want to see is the rifle from Starship Troopers.

Excalibur 05-05-2010 03:22 AM

The longer one with the shotgun or the carbine?

S&Wshooter 05-05-2010 03:29 AM

Here you go guys: http://cbrps.com/Products.html

guns of the future for the man of the present...if the guns weren't completely rediculous

Excalibur 05-05-2010 03:42 AM

Looks cool to me. But I would never want a futuristic revolver like the one in Avatar. I would like one that looks different than current revolver, yet maintaining the classic revolver feel and look like the one I posted up first

ManiacallyChallenged 05-08-2010 08:25 PM

That first one looks crazy.
I'd take a pair of FN Barracudas any day. Man I want one of those.

S&Wshooter 05-09-2010 05:30 AM

I've got your damned future revolver right here:

Ugh. In 1998 I was in the U.S. Army. My ETS was 02/14/2000 (Valentine's Day). I was stationed at Ft. Drum, New York. My unit was A Company, 110th Military Intelligence Battalion, 10th Mountain Division. The 10th Mountain Division was part of the 18th Airborne Corp which meant it was one of the Rapid Deployment divisions. Something about going anywhere in the world within 72 hours I believe was the standard. Of course it was the late nineties and everybody figured it would be somewhere in the Middle East. We just never counted on a 9/11 as the precipitating event. Anyway.

As a result we were one of the first units in the Army to get the then brand new M4 carbine. At the time we were told all about the modular concept with flashlights and optical scopes etc. It was very impressive sounding.

Of course the only soldiers who were getting all the gee whiz stuff at that time were the airborne infantry boys in the Division's recon element known as L.R.S.D. (Long Range Surveillence Detachment). That too was S.O.P. back then.

We were expected to make do with the low tech iron sights. But it was an interesting concept. Now twelve years later it's staggering to see the what has happened.You've got regular line troops and support troops using equipment that was strictly Special Forces territory twelve and fifteen years ago. And I'm talking about everything from rifles to boots and ways to carry personal equipment. It really took off after 9/11 and the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. Which isn't suprising. Historically wars have a way of accelerating things in Armies. Just look at what happened between 1939 and 1945.

Technology helps to improve performance. Tools. Nothing wrong with that. I for one think MRI technology and GPS (for example) are great. But what also happens is people become enamored with the latest and greatest and you end up with "improvements" when it might not really be necessary. Things get gooped up because it's trendy. I guess what happens is our consumer oriented economy (which I am not against by the way) become all about the trees and loses sight of the forest.

Like that revolver. Ugh.

That cool, but...how does all that relate to the funny Mall Ninja revolver above?

Nyles 05-10-2010 06:48 PM

I think he was refering to all the stuff that's on it.

That said, if a light is useful on an automatic why wouldn't it be useful on a revolver? I don't really agree with the red dot, but a light I can see.

My problem with all this technology, and I agree that it's a good thing, is when people use it and forget the basics. Troops spend so much time navigating with the GPS they forget how to use a map and compass.

Jcordell 05-11-2010 12:34 AM

Youre right Nyles. Sorry, didn't make myself real clear.

Tacti-retarded is more like it

Excalibur 05-11-2010 09:59 PM

Maybe you think it's retarded.
