IT TAKES PLACE IN THE loving 60'S


To all those who argue on video games, there's a bunch of things that aren't realistic because they literally can't make it that way.

i play airsoft and i use dual semi-auto pistols. it took me a year to get used to them and they are a bitch to reload so i usually only use them if i'm running for cover or something that doesn't involve reloading under fire. i also hate it when people in movies dodge a bullet. the only way you can dodge a bullet is if you duck or jump BEFORE he shoots. it's a bullet, unless it's a pistol from a forgetload away you would have to duck in less than a second to avoid it. and snipers are a bitch. people think that a sniper is pick up and instant headshots, snipers are loving hard to use. you have to account for the wind and gravity.

How would you fire caseless rounds?

The H&K G11 is a prototype caseless assault rifle.

if it goes into that big wooden box then it is in a case, or is that just to keep it safe from something?

That's not wood, that's the propellant. It uses a solid, molded propellant, as opposed to gunpowder.

[Ladios]

No, you can't deflect bullets with a sword either. It's simply physiologically impossible for a human to react quickly enough to put a blade in front of a bullet.

Unless you get very lucky, of course.

ah, so what looks like wood is actually an explosive wood like material? i want a log of that stuff to leave in people's fireplace..

or you know exactly where he will shoot and you put a cobalt blade in it's path.

Both of these situations are so absurdly unlikely they shouldn't even be considered relatively plausible.

If you held a sword up trying to deflect a bullet against a single Shotgun Slug, probably only 1/5 of the slugs would be blocked, and the rest would penetrate your upper body. You know, I would expect the blade to break off, so the sword situation is just impossible.

More like 0/5 would be blocked.
1. Trying to shoot something as thick as a hair is extremely difficult, even for marksman. Relying on luck in that situation would be like relying on god (tip: you're going to get shot).
2. A shotgun slug is huge, if the blade didn't break first, it would shear the slug in half (also assuming you have enough strength to resist the impact force of a bullet, but not block it. You'd still get hit.
3. More likely, the blade would break immediately and you'd have shrapnel inside you along with a bullet.
4. The force off of the slug would cause your arms to recoil if it collided with the sword, so now you've got a sword in your face.

I say again, the chances of you surviving a gunshot by blocking it with a sword are so microscopically low it shouldn't even be considered plausible.

I always thought they blocked with the flat sides of swords in media, not the cutting edges?

P.S: The FN SCAR has been shelved because it's a useless piece of stuff and breaks. (Like the SA80 before H&Gay fixed it, and even then it's still stuff, why no .280 british?)

[HellHound]

Lets not forget how generic it is for headshots to pour out blood. This doesn't happen because the bullet is like a stopper on a bottle.

Source? I know for a fact that he MK16 was shelved but not because it's bad but because it has little advantage over the M4, the MK17 is still in use by SOCOM.
