Loverly work! :D

thank you

Nice work. i like how it details the recoil mechanism and how the bolt was hinged to reduce the clearance needed.

thank you, and downside to that is that i cant mount any extra sights... but who needs nydar relfector sight when you have clear u-notch and post high contrast sights with a two position rear good to 200m

Awesome looking, also I think you could realistically put sights on the barrel shroud

In the wise words of Spike Speigle: "Bang"

looks fancy, I would say that using the toggle lock system is probably not the best idea considering the expense and the increased risk of jamming because of the extra moving parts, but this was a very good animation

well it i do use it for the purpose of how strong an action it is and how well it works with high power ammo, the jamming issue is also not there thanks to not being made from factory reject and mismatching force-fit parts that propagated the toggle lock jamming myth, the P08 was used for such a long time because it worked very well and antique examples with new springs will reliably feed NATO standard +P but stovepipe with normal ammo

Oh. Interesting. Thanks for teaching me something new

a luger in battery is actually more resistant to fouling than an AK

what piques my interest about the design now is why hasn't this firing mechanism been continued even after ww2 has ended? If it's as reliable and as tolerant of over-pressure ammunition, then why hasn't this system been revived or even reused by modern militaries?

comparable cost, modern armies outfit every soldier with a sidearm
i use the ACE for a much smaller group and it fills a role of heavy sidearm or light primary weapon while maintaining a more compact action compared to common blowback SMGs and machine pistols without sacrificing the barrel length needed for accuracy or full use of the powder's energy or risking short stroking bolts that recoil and return to battery too fast to pick up ammo from the mag

ahh. I see, from what I heard as well, the luger's action also didn't fare well when used for rapid fire either but then again, I was reading the trivia from wolfenstein the new order's handgun 1960

http://wolfenstein.wikia.com/wiki/Handgun_1960

lovely gun, but yeah the "row fire pistol" experiments didnt pan out, though there's no auto fire on the ACE and it acts more like a pistol carbine or heavy pistol, but its good to 200m and retains magnum-like power and armor defeating ability without sacrificing wounding capacity like smaller bore high velocity ammo

ahh, interesting. some of the weapons I think of tend to use cartridges that are either medium caliber with ammunition that fragments upon entering the target's body (an obvious violation of the Hague convention of 1899) are directed energy weapons that fire high energy lasers at ultrashort pulses (the resulting ablation is like an explosion) or more insidiously, fire exotic plasma that will superheat the water in a target to make them literally explode into a mist of vaporized water and denatured proteins

well pulses are just obvious to bypass the safe sustained output level of any DEW, pulsed form used safely can have double or even triple the output of sustained mode and suffer no ill effects beyond maybe a refire time needed to cool between pulses

but for conventional small arms i mostly deal in 7.65mm barrel to allow for interchangeability to some degree in, such as the classic russian technique of using rejected rifle barrels to make SMGs

that same technique used by the Russians is used by a faction I have in my mind. Their leader's ideology regarding the symbolism of the mirror led to her conclusion that the enemy must be fought with their own tactics, weapons, ideology and even their own comrades. a feat achieved by capturing and surgically augmenting captured infantry into cybernetic zombie like entities called "Raby" meaning "slaves" in her native language.

here is one such example which is also nicknamed "Kapinchovek" which translates into "blackberry person"
