The CSX isn't a good choice for several reasons:
It stands for ArmaLite. Just ArmaLite. The AR-17 is a semi-automatic shotgun.
1. Skill issue, just squint
I mean 600 000 guns for the Swiss military is pretty major in my books.
It's Assault Rapist.
The PSS is a fascinating little gun. IMO the main thing holding it back is it's reliance on a specialized proprietary cartridge. Naturally for the Russian Government that's not a bug its a feature, but objectively it's a detriment. If they could achieve the same results with common caliber it would be truly an extraordinary firearm.
Get the “Magpul backpacker stock”, like @Badungus Kabungus mentioned! I bought that exact model (ie: not the model with the keymod hand guard) and I recently bought and installed the Backpacker stock. It’s really neat to have and use for compact storage as a “truck gun”, but also just to put it in a smaller bag for transport to the range. The fact that the backpacker stock can also store a 21rd magazine under the cheek riser is great. The Ruger PCC can take Glock 19 magazines too, so if you have a Glock 19 then you can use one type of mag and one caliber for two guns, which is really neat.
I own 2 Nagant Wheel guns, Yeah it's not fancy slav magic, it's ... some how we can do it cheaper and it comes out pretty good.
Aircraft Armaments Inc. was tasked with making a quiet gun for Tunnel Rats in the Vietnam War, they came up with the 10mm QSPR -- a shot-firing piston cartridge that they then stuffed into sawed-off Model 29s.
can you even actually hit anything with those? looking at it, i think it has side of barn MOA.
that's all you need for a gook in a tunnel
with shot, probably at fairly close distances. with actual bullets, probably yes. barrel length relates to velocity, not accuracy. higher velocities tend to offer less drop at range, but you aren't going for olympic targets with a pistol used for tunnel clearing.
I would imagine the terminal ballistics are underwhelming.
After looking at it I'm actually seriously considering one of these. Maybe not as a substitute for the Scorpion, but to replace my old piece of shit AR-7.
depends on how far away "terminal" is. rat and snake shot are awful beyond a half dozen meters, but decent inside of that. if you mean the sub-nothing barrel on the model 29, if it's mostly shooting shot inside of a tunnel, it'll do alright within a few meters which is probably all you need. not like someone would be using hollow points or something with it. wadcutters maybe.
Is it still the long stroke piston system? Even if it is, there's other external piston rifles that I'm certain would be better and likely less expensive.
You and I both know that wadcutters out of a Model 29 with a 2-3" barrel would fuck someone up in close, even at rather low velocities.
The rounds look smaller than 410 gauge and the projectiles look less than 17 caliber.
maybe, but fumbling with moon clips or mags wouldn't be my choice. if i could have squirrel nut crusher gear i'd take an ithaca 37 stakeout. 1960's and very mean in tight spaces.
