Guns, Guns, Guns....

Any body here have some info on the Barret?
I'm unsure of its spelling.
Barret. Barrette. Barette.

Got it

Ten rounds, downrange, in less than 10 seconds.

:o :o

And, like all gun discussions, we delve into the world of the large, bizarre, specialized and stuff that 90% of us will never see or touch, but can enjoy from video games.
There's nothing wrong with fantasy, but really, aren't they just big expensive deadly toys once we cross into this realm?

Try a lever action rifle before you go into assault rifles.
Try a breach loader.
Try a double barrel.
Try a single action.

Yes, these are slower, but they make you take your time, pace your shots, and learn what the basics of shooting are all about. And let's face it, all the firepower in the world doesn't mean a damn thing if you can't make your shots hit your target.

Ha!

All I need now is to finish the linux kernel on the Flux Capacitor for the MechWarrior Mach VII 2040 War Tank I've been moddin' behind my house.
Hydraulic arms with high-res angle sensors will provide accurate aiming. A 42k BTU a/c system with level 42 air filtration system ensures constant environmental control for me, and the passangers.
Power is provided by a safe and reliable nuclear reactor system. It's actually 21 different, totally separate power systems. It's complicated, but redundancy is on a level 8... 10 nines of uptime! (!!99.99999999%!!!) Of those 21 systems, 15 are located outside the main diamond-reinforced tantalum-zirconium-titanium alloy, with a GPa of >12,000.
For safety's sake, they've been engineered with a protective "ark" around them... impenetrable and indestructible even if free-falled from orbit straight to a solid impact with the ground.
Elaborating more about the aiming systems, a new development which we were able to download was cameras mounted on the tips of the "bullets". This is, of course, appart from the other twenty dozen other cameras throughout the tank.

nil8, I totally agree with you in pacing your shots.
Our engagement simulations showed that we required a minimum spec of 1,500 rounds, of 1.00lb depleted uranium smart-projectiles per second.
We were able to achieve those numbers, and actually 'overclock' (quite literally guys!) the guns' load/feed systems for 4 second bursts of 3,000 rounds per second.
Happy as we were, along we had to counter-balance two major factors.
The first was a heat issue... which came at the expense of our propellant choice for the rounds [[it's still classified, but suffice to say it's an extension of long-silenced Russian research into gamma-ray-excited expansion of a hydrazine mixture... injected a two thousandth of a inch ahead of a pre-mix between oxygen, and secret substance/liquid/solid/gel/gas/plasma.]]
Firing at the standard 2,400rps, the guns threw out about 240,000 BTU.
Quick recap of solution::: 1- radiators running on nano-sized bucky balls as a heat exchange client, and 2- ejectable iron/plasma rods. [[btw, These rods are super cool! The barrels take a solid, 3" diameter by 18" long rod of iron, and turn it into liquid metal... then further shoot it out at high speed into the ground... for cooling in the next 120 hours.]]
Wwwuhheee!!

Oh yeah, the second factor because of the guns.
It was the recoil.
The power the guns generated to the tank were inmense! In the order of over 100,000 lbs of thrust.
So we have retroactive rockets at the rear of the tank, that can shift a full 360 degrees around the waist. These provide 30% of the force needed to hold the tank in-place. The other 70% comes from 4 foot long spikes (two of 'em) that penetrate the ground at aprox. Mach 1.4... all 4 feet of the run.
With these, the tank is able to fire while standing still.

Two other modes of firing such high power weapons... the first is running.
The piloto needs to run with the tank full speed (>220MPH), then shoot the guns.
You have to be aware that the tank will slow down in about 3.8 seconds.

The second mode is to leap into the air, preferrable assisted by the jet systems, and shoot "down" towards your target.
Now we've tried this, and this is craploads of fun!
If you're good enough at it, you can stay hovering in the air, while shooting your guns.
The best we've managed has been 18 seconds of flight... you have to stop eventually because of overheating.
But still, much much fun.

I've fired all of those except a double barrel. Well, and assault rifles. I only really like assault rifles in videogames or in concept, unless I was a soldier I would much rather fire sniper rifles, bolt-actions, etc. Higher ROF doesn't make it a better weapon (in most cases).

I really do prefer accuracy over power (except in the case of a particular soviet weapon, the Saiga AK-47 or AK-74U, extremely powerful assault rifles that are incredibly robust to boot).

Also, I seem to have a thing for Soviet weapons (Mosin Nagant M44 Carbines, AK's (Soviet originals (47 & 74) as well as modern day replicas and newer variants (AK-101, 103), SVD Dragunov (mmmm sexy sniper rifle), etc).

...That is all.

... wow...

[NamesAreUseless]

If I ever get a gun I'd like to have the shotgun they use i the terminator 2 movie.It was a single barreled lever action shotgun, it looked similar to a winchester lever action rifle.

...That is all.

omg, thats just to funny +rep.

so i guess thats interracial porn.
