Gun Porn!

This exists◊.

You'll have to remake it for other ghost ring sights.

Now that is quite close to ACTUAL gun porn!

That is now almost the most cancerous gun junk I have ever seen.

I think its cute.

Waifu on the Raifu?

Now, put Yuyuko on the ghost ring and you are onto something. A ghost on the moe ring.

Russia To Adopt AGS-40 "Balkan" Automatic Grenade Launcher In 2018.

Caseless grenades with 35g more HE than NATO equivalents, 2500 meter range (presumably area target), 32 kg in weight including tripod, 400 rpm rate of fire...

That's twice as heavy as the AGS-30 isn't it?

One of the biggest advantages of the lighter grenade launchers the Russians use is that it can be carried around, set up, and ultimately manned by just one person without too much trouble.

Sounds like this is meant more for defending fixed emplacements anyways, so once you get it set up, you're not too worried about moving it again in the near future.

Maybe they're gonna park them on their airfield perimeters.

Here's a new one for all you Tavor lovers out there. And this one's a shotgun.

Looks... alright... I guess? But rather heavy:

"Other features include MLOK accessory attachment points, optic rail and Benelli/Beretta choke tube compatibility. Adding an estimated weight of 2lbs of 15 shotgun shells on to the unloaded weight of 8lbs* of the TS 12, shooters could be swinging a near 10-pound shotgun when all is said and done."

Looks like it came straight out of Mass Effect.

...I want one.

It'll be in this years Cod Bl Op S Dooty games, no doubt. Maybe on dlc.

WW2 Weapons Extremely Well-Preserved In A Swamp.

Russian peat bog that is. Most of the weapons and magazines recovered there look like they'd actually still function after a thorough cleaning.

Anything interesting in the lot?

PTRD anti-tank rifles, Mosin-Nagants, a lot of magazines for various things be it a Maxim gun, DP-28, PPSh drums, MP-40, some grenades and a whole lot of ammo including mortar rounds that may or may not still be live.

Oh and a gas mask.

And most of all of it is in surprisingly good condition.

It is not mud, it is a cosmoline dumb with some weapons they forgot to clean it from.

I met this guy over the weekend who showed me pics of a double-barreled bolt-action rifle. Apparently it was made by the same gunmaker who currently offers that doubled 1911 .45 pistol... It's two Mauser-type bolt action rifles mated together, where one bolt-handle operates both bolts.

Don't ask me why.

I'd get the idea behind a double barrel pump action shotgun, but a twin bolt action rifle? Must be awkward as fuck to operate.

BREAKING: Russian Army Adopts AK-12/AK-15 And AEK-971/AEK-973 Rifles For Military Service. (For Real This Time)

Too bad the AK-12/15 is not the same hotness of its "Gen 1" version that made everyone adore it. But I'm curious if the AEK-971/973 is the A545/A762 modernized version. (I can't remember the GRAU designation of A545, it has one I know that. EDIT: Found em, 6P67/6P68 respectively.)

EDIT 2: The GRAU designations mentioned in the announcement do imply A545/A762 versions rather than actual AEK-971/973.

I would wait until we are dead sure given how many false alarms there have been.

^ Given that there's an official formal press release from Kalashnikov Concern (formerly Izmash) in the article, this one sounds like it is for realsies.

Production Of The Browning Hi-Power Has Been Ended.

Press F to pay respects.

I want a Browning Hi-power so bad... Now it's going to be even harder to get one...

Russian arms procurement is always fun to watch.

Stupid question from newb time:

Can you suppress a shotgun? How effective would that be, and is there any practical reason to do so?

It's for a possible comic idea.
