Kamp Kuzma: The Operators' Campgrounds (For Operating)

^Yeah something like that.

@Asuzu: Kinda depends where you live I think.

Indeed, many of the countries who were once under the USSR have a grudge against them.

Some controversy going around in the US. The USMC has decided to adopt the Colt M1911 Rail Gun for their new M45 pistol. Lot of people are confused by the decision to adopt the M1911 when there are lighter, more modern and high-capacity pistols around. This got even more out of hand when they announced that the M1911 started to crack after 12,000 shots. There have been a few ideas as to why they would adopt the pistol, the main being that they would never be able to adopt a modern plastic pistol chambered for the .45 ACP without lots of drama. Because of previous drama after they cancelled the JCP Program*, lots of companies spent time and money on the program so the USMC wouldn't get much of a warm reception if they tried to resurrect the program after cancelling it several years ago.


[size=10]* - Joint Combat Pistol Program was a US program to develop a new sidearm to replace the Beretta M9. It began in 2005 and was the result of a merge between the Army's Future Handgun System and SOCOM's Special Operations Forces Combat Pistol. The pistol needed to be chambered for .45 ACP, have an intergrated Picatinny rail and be able to mount a suppressor.

After the Army dropped out of the program, it was renamed to Combat Pistol and the number of pistols was reduced from 645,000 to 50,000, basically reverting the program back to the SOFCP

Yeah. I always wondered what's so great about M1911 anyway.

Indeed, I only like it as a classic for collection or recreational shooting but on the field, I'd prefer something more modern with higher capacity, something like the SiG Sauer P220 or Glock . The stopping power of a .45 is good but perhaps I would go for a .38 Super

I'm a fan of 9x19mm Para but I understand that in military field this cartridge is on decline with current development of ballistic protection. I was thinking about a modern weapon which would utilize something like 7.62×25mm Tokarev or similar cartridge that's used for ballistic testing.

I also like the idea of PDWs based on 5.56x45mm NATO

PDWs are good, I like how companies develop 'sister' pistols for their PDW counterparts like the FN P90 and the FN FiveSeven or the H&K MP7 and the H&K UCP. My favourite PDW though is the Belgium VBR PDW, it loads 7.92x24mm but there is a version for 9x19mm Parabellum which can also accept Glock magazines.

Yeah but all that's exotic ammo if we don't count 9mm Para. Magpul PDR is a PDW chambered for 5.56mm. IMHO that might happen to 5.56mm in the future, because there will be developed another cartridge that will replace it because of ballistic protection.

Perhaps they might switch to the 6.8 SPC. The future of small arms development is somewhat vague but its definite that it'll move to higher calibers for more effective killing. And with more effective killing, there will be development of ways to effectively protect against it, the loop goes on.

Yeah we have firearms in Europe as far as 15th century but effective countermeasures were made as far as 20th century...

15th Century weapons are quite interesting, I went to the Arms and Armour exhibition at the Invalides in Paris and saw a large variety of different muskets.

What kind of muskets?

Matchlocks, Wheellocks, Doglocks, Flintlocks and other sorts. There were muskets as small as a carbine and some a long as a pick. Small bores, big bores(one I'd even consider being a cannon). The pistols were nice as well, some had traditional angle grips while others had the general shape our modern pistols have today. A lot of unique designs on them as well, I saw one where the stock had an angel carving on it(literally, the stock was a wood carved angel)

^At that time a weapon was also a piece of art. Today it's commercial goods.

Agreed.

So leaving to practice some fancy fencing and stuff. See ya around in 14 days dearimasu.
