>>64309428>When it arrives i will post here scan of the MKR article.I ain't finna hold my breath nigga
>>64309428i wonder why the concept died. Lack of military interest due to NATO standardization? Unviable in civilian market? So basically, nothing wrong with the concept itself?
>>64310124Cartridge propped by US?Cartridge propped by Sweden?Do you need more?Here is another thing. "EFFECTIVE RANGE" defined as range of penetration of Soviet armor helmet 4.5x26R - 300 meters5.56x45 SS109 - 1100 meters!Did i just heard word "OVERMATCH"?Hell yeah! NGSW!
>>64309428Awesome! If it's not too long, you might want to consider scanning all of it and putting it on the Internet Archive. I kind of want to read the Military Instruction in the Soviet Union and Picket articles.
>>64310217>"EFFECTIVE RANGE" defined as range of penetration of Soviet armor helmetok to be fair that is a strong weakness of the concept for the 2020s. The amount of energy to penetrate a SAPI plate or even Kevlar is a lot higher than for a 3mm helmet. The bullets would need to get bigger.
>>64310360Enjoy your M7, i say.OVERMATCH!
>>64310124A whole fucking laundry list of projects centered around "spam a bunch of shitty projectiles at the enemy" failed miserably, why would this one be any different?
>>64310405>why would this one be any different?Because if you look at fundamental parameters MRK had no equals . There were literally no military rifle with 1 N recoil with 3.6 grams ammo on top of that. Close competition was 2 N recoil 5 grams ammo and 12 MOA ammo accuracy. When MRK was 1 N recoil 3.6 grams ammo and 6 MOA ammo accuracy.
>>64309428Cool stuff anon. I'm looking forward to it
>>64309428
>>64309428Link to old bread
>>64310517>6 MOAThat's fucking terrible. Like BCA terrible.
>>64313070accuracy through volume. 6 MOA of 1800 RPM is still scary
>>64310124No military on earth is going to adopt a rimfire cartridge.
>>64313070PK machine gun that made American military shit and piss their pants and started NGSW has 30 MOA.
>>64310360You cannot penetrate a plate with a rifle.
