Best weapon? Best weapons maker?

Since this was the sandbox n all,whos the best weapons maker in general and what in yoru opinion is th ebest weapon.And please dont ever think one weapon will be the "alpha"weapon for long,as this games combat seems to be very rock paper scissors when you look at what tops what in combat!

The best weapon designer in sl is Kyran Nyak, IMO. Not only are his weapons very deadly, but they are funny as well. They have tons of features, some of which are more pranks than attacks.

They are also beautifully designed and inexpensive.

I highly recomend them. I don't buy from anyone else anymore, there simply isn't a reason too.

I´m not much into combat arena, but Ashes swords also good stuff. Seen at the Samurai Island

The AK-47 is light and easy to operate. So much that it has been put to some horrific uses .

Tyrant Ludd, imo. Lawgivers, grenade launchers mmm.

I would agree but he's kind of a one-hit-wonder. Right now I would say Heckler and Koch is the most inovative for small arms development.

i have to say Carlos Inc. and Carducci Arms! Both have real functional guns, tho Carlos Inc. have a bit more functions Carducci guns seem to have "smart" bullets!

you bastards! I make the best guns! lol.

I agree that this may be one of the best designs of an automatic rifle when it comes to reliablity and cost. It certainly isn't the best when it comes to accuracy.

There is a new breed of non-moving part guns coming into existance as well that are simply genius. The inventing company's web page is here: http://www.metalstorm.com/.
This will revolutionize gun making.

There was an upgraded version (AK 50 maybe?) that was superior in every way to the M16, while durable as the 47. Sadly, you can by at LEAST 5 times the 47s in one of these's place.

your referring to the ak-74, and it was not superior in every way, the muzzle climb is uncontrollable due to the shortened barrel. It is very accurate in single shot or even 3-round burst, but on full auto forget it.

I believe your talking about the AK-101 which fires a 5.56 like the M16 and has better stats. There were several upgrades. Price is a huge consideration for a large military. I personally think the older M-14 is better than the M-16, but it is more expensive.

I heard somewhere that the going rate for a brand new '47 in Sub-Saharan Africa was 50 bucks US$

the m-14 had an unfortunate tendency to jam and the inner workings got dirty very easily. the best service rifle available IMO is the British Enfield or "Bullpup"

The best weapons maker is a dead one. DIE, GRIEFERS, DIE!!!

ROFLMAO!!!

I've seen this set up awhile back. I like the idea. I wonder how consistant shot placement is on the smaller arms. I'm thinking you get additional barrel length after each round.

I have never heard of this problem with M-14 rifles until now. There was a ammo/training related problem in the very early version of the ar15/m16 rifles that made those prone to jamming.

m14 is a really robust rifle. I don't have a favorite gun but m14 would be close to the top of my list.

Anyone heard of a BFG 9000?

That would definately be a nice gun to have. I wonder how much kick large amounts of that sutff(plasma?) has.

From the diagrams I've seen, I think they are trying to keep the stacks of bullets small and have many loaded barrels side by side on a majority of their larger weapons. I don't think accuracy being lessened a little on the first round is as big of a concern on a weapon made for its rate of fire.

I would guess that the U.S. will eventually ask for just stacks of three rounds at a time for smaller weapons, and they will probably want the 3-round stacks to just line up in a magazine as if each one was a single bullet. I think three rounds going out at once makes up for a little loss in accuracy on the first round. Even if they modified things to where only one bullet fires at a time, with the cartridge being the only moving part, the lack of mechanisms inside the gun will help make any rifle less likely to jam. The less moving parts, the more reliable things get.

I'm curious how they get the brass from the previous shell out of the barrel. If the bullet behind it pushes it out it will reduce velocity and can damage the barrel, yet there is no ejection mechanism.

No brass, I believe it's power/bullet only. The unfired bullets should act as a gas seal for the previous shot.

bullets are not the same size as the barrel until they are fired, they expand inside the barrel which traps the gas, and creates the striations from the rifling in the barrel. So the next in line bullet would not act as a very good seal. Thats why when you see a shell there is a flange around the base that is wider that the actual casing.

Theres going to be a trend for caseless ammo in the future, its already being experemented with. In short.... no brass =)
