Mega Rad Gun Thread

[Adolf Hulkler]

Some random guy has made his own WA-2000, if you don't believe me check his archived Instagram below

I talked to the guy few times on /k/.
The amount of work he put into building that thing is FUCKING INSANE.
And no, he didnt build a chassis around a gun, he made a 1:1 copy.


Heres an experimental flamethrower suomi KP from ww2.
There exists, ONE picture of it being actually tested and it is not on the internet.
I have a semi rare book on every single weapon from late 1800s to 2000s that has been tested/fielded in the army.
Other fun prototypes in there that i cant find pictures of on the internet are krinked rk62 and experimental IR night vision scope that uses an IR flashlight.
Might take pics and post.

I'm going to get some sweetheart grips and put some of our wedding photos in them for my 1911. I haven't seen them, but I wonder if anyone makes textured sweetheart grips. Typically they're just smooth sided.

Interesting, never looked into finnish flamethrowers, but looks like they wanted to do the soviet thing- make a flamethrower look like other wepon from a distance for operator safety.
Or is it a crazy underbarrel addition to the Suomi SMG?

generally no, since adding texture will distort the clear image under the grip.

Its underbarrel attachment, the SMG is functional.
It was supposed to be for trench and bunker clearing,
They tested it and dropped it.

This is "korsu" variant(bunker)
It has no front sight and the barrel is tapered, IN ORDER for a person inside a bunker to be able to shove the barrel through very small portholes and engage enemy at close quarters.
The shroud is longer than the barrel, because it causes a kind of sucking/draft effect through the barrel when the gun fires, so that gasses from the action doesnt get blown back into the bunker.

Tanker variant.
Less than 1000 were made, each one was handfitted.
Essentially works the same way as m321 port gun.
It gets attached into a ball joint porthole with a pin in armored vehicles.
And since its small it was supposed to work as the tankers weapon, being better than just a pistol.
There were a few suppressed ones that were specially built for very few individuals who needed them.
One of those being Lauri Törni, who fought for finland, germany and then for the US in vietnam.

Soviets made ppsh based on the suomi KP, in a more powerful caliber, but they had difficulty producing reliable drum magazines.
Rumor has it, a red traitor smuggled original plans of the magazine to soviet union, among with other shit.

EDIT:
The korsu version DOES have sights, theyre on the side.

Any experience here with forced reset triggers?

Metal super safety works pretty good.

Picked up my Vector Gen 3 today. It's a slick little gun. I'm really looking forward to getting it built up and SBR'd. Haga Defense is offering the stock for the Gen 2.1 Vector, but with a 1913 mount so it'll mount on the Gen 3 Vector, and I'm seriously thinking about going with that when I get my SBR tax stamp back. There are a couple of other stocks I'm considering. I'm not a big fan of the stock they designed for the Gen 3. Looks cheap and flimsy. I'm going to put an HK style tri-lug suppressor mount on it and eventually get the Huxworx Flow 9k suppressor to mount on it.

On Kriss USA's website they are offering $100 credit for all new Gen 2 and Gen 3 Vectors purchased from the beginning of May to the end of June. I've already sent my info in to claim mine. I'm probably going to use it to get the red anodized aluminum safety levers, mag release plate, and floor plate under the pistol grip to give it a little flare. Like I said, it's mostly just a fun gun and range toy for me, but if it does prove to be reliable then I'll also set it up for home defense with a weapon light and set up a battle belt for it, or possibly a bandolier. I'm going to put a quality optic on it either way, because I'm autistic like that. I'll keep you guys posted as things progress with it.

I'm waiting on an ASdesigns supersafety lower for my mp5 clone.

Will share (eventually)

Update on the P320 nonsense:
Two guys in a garage diagnosed at least one way to replicate an uncommanded discharge in the P320 by way of swapping parts from different guns, and have observed the difference in parts from year to year with evident incompatibility.
FocusTripp interview/discussion:

Rumble Link, total segment is one hour eighteen minutes long.
Original video:

Ordinarily I'd post this in the Guntube thread but since it's less about the guntubers themselves and more about Sig, here we are.

Parts that weren’t designed to be MIM (and outsourced to India) in a gun that wasn’t designed to be striker fired. What could go wrong?

 

[WhoBusTank69]

Parts that weren’t designed to be MIM (and outsourced to India) in a gun that wasn’t designed to be striker fired. What could go wrong?

Their finding is that the 10mm FCU and its longer frame allows the insertion of a 9x19 magazine with improper reassembly leading to sear slippage when the striker safety is nonfunctional due to either parts fatigue or breakage.
I don't think it's the main culprit, but it's possibly one of them if parts are mixed and matched.

Whatever the issue is, really no reason to use one since it’s basically indistinguishable from the several other polymer framed striker guns that don’t have these issues.

In the early 2000s I was actually interested in the rifle stuff they were doing with the Sig 55X series, but luckily never bought one and avoided all the issues those guns had, and the lack of support by Sig.

In the mid 20 teens I got a great deal on an Sig 556 QRD suppressor and quickly discovered the mounting system was garbage. That can is currently back at Sig with an endcap strike. I can say first hand their customer service is terrible. They take days to get back to you between emails.

Same, don't care for the Hellcat

When my fiancèe and I were trying to find a pistol for her, we shot a rented Hellcat. I've never taken much issue with any pistol I've shot. I think most modern pistols are fine. There are some I like more or less than others, but generally, I find most of them to be okay. The Hellcat did not break this trend for me. It's fine. It's small and snappy, but I expect that from such a gun. My fiancèe, on the other hand, fired five rounds, then set the gun down, turned to me, and said, "This is like trying to fire a fucking Snickers bar. Who the fuck thought a square was a good shape for a grip?"

 

[NeonFlux]

Are the Diamondback DB10 or Springfield Armory Saint Victor AR10 good options? I care about range but not as much since everything around me beyond 100 yards is trees and buildings so weight, price, and handling factor in more. also plan on using it for hunting.

 

[Club Sandwich]

Are the Diamondback DB10 or Springfield Armory Saint Victor AR10 good options?

they're both LR-308 variations and differ in accessories and fine details. Diamond Back is like PSA in many ways, and do make major components in-house from forgings and blanks and use typical 7075 and 4150 as their main materials. don't expect frills though. out of the box it's a good semi-auto 308.

the SA is overpriced imho, but decent quality and can be set up for good long range work with minor changes.

why the fuck is the p320 so complicated inside? Maybe I'm spoiled with my older style guns but christ almighty it looks like a raygun inside compared to this:

And since its small it was supposed to work as the tankers weapon, being better than just a pistol.

There’s a picture, which I can't find right now, that caused some headscratching amongst Finnish gun people going around earlier this year of a tanker KP with an actual stock. It had the pistol grip and looked rather well made which got people to wonder was it just a individual modification by an enterprising carpenter or an actual factory mod.

Nonetheless it looked really well made.
