Folks,
By now, I hope that a lot of you have become like me: researchers. Here is a link to a good article, written at Blogger. I recommend it, because this guy is knowledgeable: click the link that I have provided.
Now, about the gun. The concept is to have a compact arm, of serious power and magazine fed. A gun need not be an automatic loader in order to have a magazine. I like the thinking of the design, it is unorthodox, but very practical. The applications are: hunting, defense and just fun shooting. Never forget, nor disparage, having fun at shooting. It is very entertaining to trick shoot for instance. This gun is a .308 Winchester chambering, so it will shoot a long way off. If you hunt with it, it will take a deer every time. All you need to do is blast him in a good spot. It will stop a bear charge too, but you may have to shoot him 3 or 4 times. One shot should do it, but you never know.
The possibilities just jump out at me. Challenge your friends to a shooting match. Just make sure that you have practiced beforehand. It can be humbling to be out-shot by your: niece, cousin, ole buddy, etc. Target shoot with it, but use 2 liter bottles, placed 20 yards away. When they blow up, you will be certain that you hit one. Blowing up bottles like that is a blast. When you get good, go out to 50, then 100 yards. If you can hit the bottle at those distances, you have become a sure shot. Stretch your mind and lengthen your shot to 200 yards or better. It may sound silly to do that, but you can hit the bottle with consistency after enough practice.
If you should ever need to use it for defense, the receiver of that round won't be having a good day. The .308 is what the M-14 and M-60 is chambered for. It is a shortened .30-06 and it has about 80-90% of its power. It just depends upon what rounds you buy. If you buy old NATO rounds to shoot, some have a steel core. You can find out which by looking for the info on line. Regular ammo dealers sell them, they ain't some unorthodox thing that only the Rangers/SF can get. ( BTW: A Scout Rifle would make a good sniper gun for SOCOM. It fulfills a lot of what they need in a gun. But it ain't ever gonna happen, because they are big budget. They can build their own from scratch and they do at times.)
Now to the mags, these are plastic and they come in different capacities: 3, 5 & 10 rounds. They are much cheaper that the steel variety and are more durable to boot. There is a video of a torture test, wherein a pickup truck runs over a mag. Then it is given a tap and knocked around with a baseball bat. It is a light smacking around, but is very illustrative. A steel/aluminum mag would deform and probably would stop working. Not these things, they just keep going.
Another test that reveals what a plastic mag is capable of, is to place it in a freezer overnight. Then take it out in the morning and drop it on concrete or blacktop. If it breaks, it has failed the test: and that is something that is better to discover beforehand.
Another torture test is to dunk it in mud, just fill a bucket full of dirt and make some mud. Then, like a madman, dunk your mag into it. The see how things works after rising it off pretty good. Because that's all you are going to be able to due if you are out in the woods and drop the thing into a mud hole. Just take out the rounds and start rising everything.
Use water on the mag and rounds, the dry the rounds ASAP. They can take a short dunk, if followed by a very quick drying off. Use your shirt if you have too, of course I am getting you to think fast. A dire situation may come your way and you will need to have a sharp problem solving mind beforehand.
It is that way in all defense situations: work it out in your mind and then you will follow your own script. Goodbye for now and God bless. I hope the best for you, but always be prepared for the worst.
