    You're slow (hey, you forced me).

    No airsoft version yet, though with the Masada covered and the FMP on the way I doubt the wait will be too long before someone picks it up.

    Dang, I was hoping nobody would notice. I named this one AUGliest rifle of 2008 a while back. It's like a P90 only with added fail :-P

    I want one. Something tells me that thats going to be an absolute beast.

    It looks very tight to get a gear box in that design looking at how far back in the stock the mag is. But seeing as it's a Magpul design it's got to good which is just aswell as this is first non AK style bullpup that I don't like the look of.

    I'm betting a modified version of the P90 gearbox (only feeding upsidedown) or possibly a variation of the FAMAS or AUG style gearbox. Either way, they are all top notch pieces already plus it takes stanags ... what more can you ask for in a compact?

    Cracks from 1 drop?
    Well that's not a good sign...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 40,291 ✭✭✭✭Gatling


    gas thing there was only 1 prototype at the time ,its suppost to be going into production later this year,
    the flashhider is pretty cool , it looks like a mini gun without the 6 barrels sticking out , or you will get some that say looks like a pepper shaker

    Is that the ejection port in the mid upper at the back of the top rail, it's very far foward of the mag if it is.

    Well, I doubt they'd be using top grade polymers for a showpiece prototype, it was probably an ABS model meant for display rather than any actual demonstration. Their success with polymers in strength and durability is fairly well known thanks to the Marines doing the "truck-test" on their PMags.

    That does look to be the ejection port, but in a way that would make sense. The PDR is ambidextrous, having the ejection port in the stock would leave it under your cheek if you were firing from the opposite shoulder. The FN2000 had a shuttle system that left the ejection port at the front of the rifle, just behind the muzzle. The G11 has a conveyor system that has the round travelling a fair distance from it's magwell and the P90's feed system doesn't exactly line up with the firing chamber either. I'm guessing it'll be using a system similar to one of them to either have the firing mech at the back (like a P90) and push the brass to the front (like the FN2000) or just a conveyor to bring the rounds forward from the magwell to the breach further up.
