We'd be lucky if the bullet missed.

I would agree. A near miss is worlds better then even a graze when it comes to the Big .50.

DARPA demonstrates breakthrough in self-guided bullets
Published April 29, 2015FoxNews.com
DARPA’s Extreme Accuracy Tasked Ordinance (EXACTO) program just had its most successful round of live-fire tests to date. The tests were conducted in February with an experienced shooter using the self-steering bullet technology to repeatedly hit “moving and evading targets” while a novice shooter used the system for the first time to hit a moving target, according to a press release.
“True to DARPA’s mission, EXACTO has demonstrated what was once thought impossible: the continuous guidance of a small-caliber bullet to target,” Jerome Dunn, DARPA program manager said in the release. “This live-fire demonstration from a standard rifle showed that EXACTO is able to hit moving and evading targets with extreme accuracy at sniper ranges unachievable with traditional rounds.”
The program from the Pentagon’s research arm is a major innovation in rifle accuracy. If ever made public, this kind of technology could potentially bring hyper-acute accuracy from warzones to hunter’s rifles.
For DARPA, the EXACTO program also goes a long way in enhancing troop safety – allowing greater shooter standoff ranges and “reduction in target engagement timelines,” according to the release.
“Fitting EXACTO’s guidance capabilities into a small .50-caliber size is a major breakthrough and opens the door to what could be possible in future guided projectiles across all calibers,” Dunn added.

I guess a good pair of legs will be soon useless against snipers, DAYUM DARPA YOU SCARY!

I've actually encountered this before firsthand. Yes it is NOT your trigger finger throwing you off. It's your own damn anticipation. The force of your finger and the weight of the trigger pull is negligible.

Howling Raven Mosin Nagant Muzzle Brake.
Reduces muzzle climb to almost nothing!
But...millyet...
...but what kind of mudak buys such an accessory that cost more than new Mosin? The svoloch who designed and built this should be sent to Siberia for his disgrace to the Motherland! It prevent use of glorious Soviet bayonet too! Only weakling fascisti and uncultured Amerikanski need brake on rifle! NYET! MOSIN IS FINE!

If the stuff you put on your gun is more expensive than the gun itself it is time to review somethings.

^ Da, it means you can buy second Mosin by forgoing such a piece of etc.
"Allah may guide their bullets, but Jesus helps those who aim down the sights."
Mount second Mosin beneath first, in an inverted fashion. Pull both triggers at once, and watch as muzzle rise cancels itself out!
The law in the night
See Ivan, when you tape stone on tip of Mossin the muzzle never be of climb because of weight counterings.
In fact, Ivan, stone is so effective, gun no longer need bullets, so no muzzle rise at all!

^^ Bayonet be givings enough weight to counterings the muzzle climb. It need no fancy muzzle brakes.

Does anyone have more information about this dressed up Tommy Gun
? It was presumably dumped into the Taiwan strait a few years ago by some mobster when things got hot for him. It's not uncommon for people in the Taiwanese dirty world with a military training to buy AR-15s or produce garage shotguns, but this thing looks really unique.
That looks better than the AR-15 on top, imho. Cleaned up that would be very nice indeed.
I've been searching for it after posting, so it turns out to be possibly the second prototype of Philippine Army's SAW-9 program. Still wonder why some mobster ended up purchasing it.
Causing freakouts over sourcing since 2018
A good quality clone, perhaps? The Philippines has a backyard gun industry, and they prefer American platforms due to historical reasons.
Or it really could have been stolen from an armory and claimed to have been lost in some accident or another.

India Replaces All INSAS Rifles In "Red Zones" With AKs, Cites INSAS As Defective.
Toss another crap rifle onto the M16, L85, FAMAS, and G36 pile. It seems like nobody but the Russians can actually make an assault rifle that actually works as its supposed to.

Blowout soon fellow Stalker
Seems like they're homegrown AK-47s too. Wonder if they'll just go the full mile and order fresh ones from the Russians.
I bet Ivan would be more than happy to keep the 5.56 thing going too.
Oh really when?

AK-12 variant in 5.56mm for India?

Why not? Anything is possible with a rifle that modular.

They built it to sell to multiple markets so having one chambered in 5.56mm makes plenty of sense.

Come to think of it, I think Charles Beckwith (of Delta Force fame) actually survived being hit with a 50 Cal round in Vietnam despite triage deciding that he was beyond help.
