The Bullpup has fallen, billions must experience a better gun design with nicer ergonomics and trigger groups.
but bullpups are so cool
Looks like someone never fired an X95 Tavor or an RDB
Got my AR about 2-years ago. It’s so easy in every way it’s almost boring. Put a low-end red-dot on it. Can’t miss. Can’t make it malfunction.
Getting NATO on a standard like the M4 is a no-brainer.
Yesssss, we’re slowly turning into a slightly saner /k/ here.
On the contrary, storm troopers do nothing but miss!
That’s rebel propaganda. The Stormtroopers had no trouble boarding Tantive IV and people seem to selectively ignore the scenes proving that the rebels were permitted to escape the Death Star so they could be tracked to their secret base.
There are adapters that can go into the frontsightpost to mount a light, or rails that can be fitted onto the clamshell handguard. Or a mount like this. Much better places for a light to be accessed by the hand.
The sling can be rerouted through the stock like so. Without buying additional adapters the front of the sling can be mounted to the frontsightpost with nothing more than a little bit of gutted 550 cord like so. The advantage of doing this is that if you take your hands off the rifle while it is slung to your front, the rifle will not try to flip upside down awkwardly.
Coming back to this later. The light hitting my A sight is painful. Never seen one like that!
What is that sort of adapter called?
The cantilever one is a Mount-N-Slot design.

The rails that go inside of the frontsightpost are more generic and made by many companies, just search for frontsightpost rail.
One of many example sellers.

It’s beautiful 😍
Thank you! Inside the dust cover is another Imperial logo and THX 1138. Otherwise, about entirely stock.
Yo where did you get your AR from? I love the star wars look!
It’s a Ruger AR-556 Whiteout, pretty much stock excepting the custom dust cover and muzzle device. Got the bit on the end from Canto Arms. Same guys that made my blaster.
Already had the white Olight and the 45° canted adapter. Not a “weapon” light, but it works! Literally drop kicked the gun to test, many times. Slammed it on the ground, many times. Works fine.
Best part, I got a standard 30-round mag advertised as “Stormtrooper White”. :) The 10-round mags are easier to use for a few reasons, even though standard mags are not banned around here.
Thanks for the reference that blaster also looks really cool! I might have to copy you cause that gun looks sick and Im jealous lol. Right now I got an AR10 chambered for .308, I like it for hunting but for target shooting not so much. A 556 variant would probably be a lot better for that
I feel you on the mag size, 30 rounds aren’t banned where I’m at either and they look nicer (especially that stormtrooper white you mentioned, oh man that’d look so cool!) but I also use a 10 round cause of how much better it feels and makes it easier to use.
Bruh, did you really star wars theme a weapon?
Mostly came that way out the box. Seen my blaster?
I will admit that the blaster looks pretty cool. But I will probably always feel a bit weird about weapons being played with and customised in that way.
Like, if I saw a weapon like that I would assume it’s for cosplay and not for killing people.
It’s not very likely that I will ever see a weapon like that though since weapons are strictly controlled where I live. So outside of museums and military contexts, the only weapons I have seen are hunting rifles.
AR and derivatives are undeniably the best platform in almost every category. Ambi/left support is kinda a cludge, and STANAG is an okay magazine. That’s about the limits of the platform’s problems nowadays, the rest have been fixed
All the big advancements in the small arms arena are in electro-optics. Firearms have plateaued long enough that quibbling over a better gun isn’t the best place to throw R&D (or for that matter, procurement) money at. Buy all your troops RDS/LPVO for everyone, then Vis/IR laser.
Well, they could try for a pistol sized cartidges firing out of pistol sized barrels with rifle sized ballistics. Super high chamber pressures though.
I genuinely can’t tell if you’re having a stroke and can’t form a sentence, or are making some smartass comment about .300 BLK/9x39/etc
There’s a lot of physics that make ‘pistol bullet what goes heckin fast’ incredibly hard, if not pointless. Metallurgy, internal & external ballistics, case web separation, a valid reason why…
Well yeah, 300 blk, but we keep going down that path. Shorter barrels while keeping the same ballistics.
That sucks.
I have always liked the Swedish AK5 (modified FN FNC) and the PSG90 (Artic Warfare).
These new weapons don’t look as good and feel a bit boring.
Well at least they are manufactured in Finland and not in the USA.
Any source for this?
Okay I thought this was something recent, but apparently this was decided almost a year ago.
Thanks anyway
Ill take all the left over RK 95s.
