| 100% Space Shuttle Door Gunner | The KRISS Super V.... It's already old news in the firearms business. Looks bulky.

| Tribuni Angusticlavii | I don't think they'll find too many buyers unless they make the barrel longer (it's tiny considering the size of the firearm) and give it a nice solid stock. My personal favorite "recoilless" gun is the Ultimax 100, a 5.56x45mm LMG with the constant recoil system.

| Milites Gregarius | It's a good idea to shift the weight down and away from the shooter, no doubt. However, there are a lot of moving parts which probably means that the service life isnt going to be great (lots of wear and tear) and also how is the assem/disassem going to work and cleaning! Its a great idea but like the first xbox I think there is going to be more then a few faults with this new design when it's tested. Just my opinion for what its worth ![]() |

| Milforum Swamp Dweller | I'm not exactly impressed by the ergonomics of it. Bulky, needs a longer barrel and an actual stock. Looks like lots of moving parts to fail.

| Optio | How do You like tuned up PPSh-1941? It could be quite deadly in CQB. ![]()

| Optio | I never thought the PPSH would come back. Devistating weapon in CQC, but it needs a better stock and needs to be given the black metal look like the MP5, with a collapsing stock.
