Got a bit of a Jackhammer fetish have you? Seen in so many videogames despite never really existing.

>>420637
It's a weapon too good to have been made. They literally called the Jackhammer a solution to a problem that doesn't exist.

Of course there's also the GAU variants if you want true bullet hoses, but those aren't hand held (they are the size of aircraft).

>>420640
Weapons that don't catch on usually have a reason for not doing so.
No matter how cool they may look.

>>420641
It doesn't matter if a weapon is good or not, what matters if there's a company with enough financial backing to make it, and enough political backing to lobby it to get used. Jackhammer had neither.

>>420645
Yup, the A-10 was basically built around the GAU-8.

>>420648
>Fire ze Railgun
>'Rail' gun
>Because its on train tracks
oh, its is the word play. much humorous.

>>420649
It's not wordplay. Before the advent of magnetically charged weaponry, railgun literally meant a gun on rails - or more accurately, a railway gun. They were phased out after WW2, since normal tanks allowed for more mobility.

>>420622
How dangerous a situation is that?

>>420623
AVE!

A short military related comedy:
Jim Jefferies - Trip to Baghdad, Iraq in a military helicopter, Stand up comedy
but it's not his most famous gun-related stand-up!

>>420664
Your post fills me with mild disgust

>>420671
Would that be the Federation tank design from Gundam?

>>420674
I've no clue about what you are talking about.

>>420675
Try looking it up if you like double-barreled tanks so much.

>>420713
haha penis.

Its actually a silencer, not for battlefield purposes but just to cut down on noise pollution while testing.

>>420735
Is there a particular reason why some bullets have different colored tips?

>>420737
read the filename.

>>420738
I was talking about bullets in general, not that image specifically.

>>420739
Oh. I imagine it's due to the material the bullet is made out of, and/or coated with to achieve the best penetration / most damage.

>>420747
how do i modify my flashlight to be full auto

>>420750
Scopes increase crit chance and accuracy.

You should think of adding a bayonet for increased melee damage.

>>420751
Mounting a bayonet under a knife, now that's something I have not considered.

There are different types of bullets - tracer rounds, armor piercing, incendiary, etc. The colours are there to mark which one is which, so you don't end up using normal ammo when you'd need AP, etc.

>>420888
Is it a universal thing or does it differ by say country or manufacturer?

>>420889
I imagine it would be different by military standard, for ex. NATO countries would use the same standard but China probably does not.

>>420911
Shooting a gun in that position would rock the guys asshole really hard.

>>420941
Grunts in the military are used to having their assholes fucked.

Is there any modern body armor used for protecting the legs and anything else below the waist?

Like when you hear the stories about heavily armed and armored bank robber where they manage to hold the cops off for ages it usually only ends after the crooks get shot in the dick/legs/hands while absorbing fire everywhere else.

>>421008
Unironically, a small tank.

>>421018
I wonder how the balance of that "sword" is.

>>421051
No, I just really like the design of the Mammoth tank. It looks twice the tank as any other tank, and I don't just mean the double barrels... it has dual threads, swanky looking turret, rocket pods, and in-game it has self-healing and is the only tank that can handle any kind of incoming enemy (rocket pods can kill enemy air and infantry both). It's the ultimate tank.

>>421051
not him but wouldnt complain

>>421054
I like the transforming model, but the arms would need to have a place to "rest" in, instead of just hanging on the side.

>>421055
To be fair the gun-arms are still mobile even while the tank is in its low-profile form and capable of being aimed in multiple directions to hit targets.

If they were Locked-In that wouldn't be possible.

>>421058
That is true, but I was under the assumption that the tank mode is there for fast travel purposes, in which case it would make more sense to fix up the arms, so they don't have to be powered on to stay in whatever formation they are in (so gravity and the force of the travel doesn't make them flop around). Which would make the tank shape have a fixed form which is easier to manouvre, but also means there is more power for the engines.

You can still have an intermediate form with the arms moving freely, but it is just a weird lower-profile version of the normal stand-up mode, with lower height and different weight distribution.
