It turns out the overall shape of the XM8 Rifle was designed by Audi. So how would a gun designed by Ferrari or Lamborghini look like?
Both would be flatter, and the controls of the lambo would be made of rope to save weight.
>>65270336I know it's just a G36 in a bodykit, but my god what a sexo bodykit.
One of Ferrari’s designers actually designed a gun
>>65270336haven manipulated and shot both an fn scar and a g36, the g36 is such a dogshit rifle. unbalanced as fuck, shit ergos, a HORRIBLE charging handle / optic situation, zero modularity, ect, ect. Absolutely mogged by DI/ST ARs and a scar L.
>>65271035SST not ST*
>>65271035XM8's PCAP attachment system was literally MLOK before It was cool
>every modern car looks like a fish>car company designs a gun>it now too looks like a fish
>>65270336The one really nice thing that the XM8 had that I wish the army would have adopted was the mounting system for optics and accessories.It was specifically made so that you could zero an optic or attachment, take it off and swap it for another then put the original back on and it would maintain zero. So if you had a magnified optic for daylight you could swap it for a red dot, or a Night vision capable optic. or mount your PEQ-15, zero it and then so long as you reattached it on the same hole it would still be zeroed.
>>65271790doesnt picatinny do that if you use the same slot (the reason why they're numbered)
>>65271955There's still some play in picatinny even if you mount the optic, and especially any rail attachments that is just enough to throw off your zero. You don't notice it inside 100m most of the time but beyond that you'll start missing shots.I had a new private that took 3 trips to the range to qualify, turned out he was taking off his m68 (the aimpoint red dot) to clean his rifle between trips to the range. He's hit the close targets but kept missing 200m 250's and never hit a 300m. once I saw what he was doing we re'zeroed the rifle and the kid shot a 35/40. The XM8 system had it's mounting points built into the handguard and upper receiver and the fitment was much more precise.
>>65271035Second. Was in military sharing equipment with some Asian fellows and since it was one of the guns featured in the video game Activision’s Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare it was something I was highly anticipating. Felt like a big plastic piece of shit. If I shot it I don’t remember I probably didn’t because 10 seconds into holding the thing I didn’t want to any more.
