100% accurate assesment....

Yep. Most times it's a small hole in the entry point with a large hole on exit.

Any picture of an M-16, besides the SOPMOD M4, is a waste of kilobytes, just like the weapon....

What?? They were a bunch of retards if they dont know know how a gun works! The only gun that uses a spring is a freaking BB gun.

102first_hussars · 10-24-2005, 08:25 PM

I wonder where they got the Idea for this weapon.

Strangely on Canadian Amazon all shipments are from the US, whereas the UK Amazon's are all from Canada.

Most, if not all guns use a spring, the Sten's is the most obvious I've seen.

And the Gat(spud gun) and air weapons (although I assume P38 you class all air weapons as BB where in the UK BB fires little metal balls and air rifles fire waisted pellets or you used to be able to get plastic sheathed sabots, and of course the Sten (for the bolt) and several other shock operated weapons as opposed to gas, but as a projectile force theirs not many.
The atmosphere weapons although still using compressed gas either air in a reservoir or a Co2 cartridge are in somewhat different league hence the need for a fire arms licence.

The M16 and AK use springs.

Hmmmm, hows that education system in Alabama going there P-38... Not too many retards huh???

The M-16 and AK-47 use springs ...if you're seriously refering to how the gun fires - you'll never be taken seriously ...ever again.

And even before I was into guns, I knew how they worked. Because it's pretty obvious what is happening inside when there's a big flash and a big bang ...it's obviously not a spring - it's a freakin' explosion!

It's the same that a lot of people don't know how a jet engine works ...

The intellectual elite seem to moving further and further away from the general public these days - it's a shame I'm part of the general public.

It's like when I told a friend that humans can now make their own blood (which we can) ...he was like, "So?" - I could tell him humans could cure every disease on the planet and he wouldn't be impressed. Problem is ...he's not stupid compared to most of them around here!

No I figured they got the Idea from the weapon they used in the movie Aliens.
Whats the EM2?

Jabberwocky · 10-25-2005, 10:08 PM

The EM-2 is the Enfield Experimental Model 2, .280 Bullpup Automatic Rifle.

At the end of WW2 the British realised that a) bolt action and semi auto rifles were obsolete and, b) sub-machine guns were inadequate for anything apart from short range combat.

So the went and built a gun that was shorter than the SMLE No 4, had a selective rate of fire and fired a very powerful .280 (7x43mm) round, which was much better than that fired by the Sten gun. Unfortunately, even though it was officially adopted at some point in the 50s (1952???) as the "R,A .280 No 9 mk 1" (Rifle, Automatic, calibre .280, Number 9 mark 1) it never saw service because the UK thought that interoperability with the new NATO standard 7.62x51mm round was more important. Eventually, the went for the L1 (FN FAL), which was an excellent weapon, but probably not as versatile as the EM-2.
