What's the word on the StG77? Just curious.

LARPfag here. The StG77 is the only rifle I know, but I can't believe you can ask for more.

Look through telescope
Put center of crosshairs over target
Pull trigger
See target pop

Muzzle velocity is 970m/s -- no imagination or mental acrobatics required for targets closer than a hundred yards. Aim a palm or so higher for each extra hundred yards. The rifle is mostly made of plastic and absolutely no burden, not even on 30 ml walks. Careful cleaning is a requirement for automatic action, though, especially for and after using blinds.

How does that compare to U.S. army rifles? Or a Kalashnikov? A problem for guerilleros might be that all parts are machine-tooled, so you need special equipment for making spares.

Threading or button-rifling a barrel is actually pretty easy.

Thinking about it, you can probably cut it with a a tap-and-die [1] like a thread for a screw. (Been there, done that, btw.)

This complex bit is the receiver extension- the bolt itself would be even more impossible to make at home even with a full machine shop.

The part in pic looks indeed complicated. Beats me how you make the inside cogs without a CNC mill.

Look up the mechanics of a Sten gun or similar- it's just a cylinder of metal

Thanks for your patience. I'm feeling awkward for lack of vocabulary and metalworks knowledge. War is hell. It's an interesting subject, though.

[1] If this makes no sense, I have to look up all the technical terms.

Welcome to WeekendGunnit™

We are refugees from Reddit seeking autonomy. For those that don't know, a bit of a history lesson as to what and who this community is.

A long time ago, in an internet far far away, there was a forum dedicated to discussion about guns. During the weekdays when normal people were killing time at work, they would make reasonable posts discussing the finer details of guns and their inner workings. On the weekend, the dredges of the gun community would shitpost blurry pictures of common guns, nearly always with one or more bare feet in the background. Along with these lesser quality posts, many of the weekend community would resort to autistic screeching the comments. As a way to give these types of people an outlet for their retardedness while attempting to declutter the main boards, WeekendGunnit was created. After a period of 5 years, the community was 90,000 strong and growing. Around this time, that subreddit started gaining the attention of the communist party of Reddit and they began brigading the subreddit with child porn, concern trolling, leftist propaganda, and general tranny bullshit. The subhuman piles of garbage that make up AHS found favor with the feminine penis of the Reddit admins. They began enforcing arbitrary rules against free speech and were on the brink of forcing a TD style takeover of the moderator team. As a defensive move against the takeover, much the same as howTD.win started, we moved our moderator team here and changed our front page to redirect to where you are now.

This community is dedicated to satire and shitposting. For legal reasons, everything you see on this board is a joke. Everyone here is barely literate and only understands two things: tendies and bobs. If you pander your shitpost to the lowest common denominator of society, you'll fit right in.

Enjoy!

Please note:

All link posts must contain some form of direct gun-relatedness. If you feel your post has been removed even though it was gun related in your mind, please fuck right off. Any and all posts can be removed at moderator discretion, regardless of how gun related. This includes, but is not limited to, weeb shit, furry shit, actual shit, dead people, alive people, real people, and whatever the fuck else we want.

The following rules have been developed over a virtual lifetime of shitposts and autistic comments. If you disregard any of these rules, you're not living the WeekendGunnit lifestyle.

Rule 1913:

Unused rail space is forbidden. Any unused rail space must be filled with the cheapest and most useless accessories you own and/or can find.

The COPPER Rule

All WeekendGunnit™ subscribers are required to harass anyone from armslist et al selling a gun for more than its value until the asking price is lowered to your satisfaction or the seller blocks your emails.

The SILVER Rule

When attending a gun show, all WeekendGunnit subscribers must actively seek out the booth(s) selling various types of dehydrated animal meat and purchase said dried meat. Mods can be bribed with bambi jerky. You don't get anything for it, but you can do it.

The GOLDEN Rule

If you ever come into possession of ammunition for a gun you do not own, you are required to purchase a gun in that caliber.

The PINFIRE Rule

You absolutely must have ammunition available for every caliber gun you own, including collectible firearms and oddball calibers.

The PLATINUM Rule

Spare parts and parts bins are expressly forbidden. Should you find yourself in possession of any spare parts, anything from a barrel to a trigger guard, you are required to build a gun around said part(s).

The METH Rule

Tits or GTFO
