I realised that all these SPEW and ACR type programs after world war 2 to increase the hit probability of individual infantrymen, were basically trying to invent shotguns
>>65445720a shotgun with a longer effective range, yeah
>>65445720Sort of, yes, trying to combine the increased hit probability of a shotgun firing shot, with the range and precision of a rifle.Shitload of squeezing and not very much juice to show for it.
yeah a shotgun with a spread of like 6 moa
>>65446073And then they did it AGAIN with the Colt ACR duplex ammunition.
>>65446193Unironically a good idea tho
>>65446193Now i might be retarded, but it feels like those two bullets would just behave like a single bullet since the rear would push into the fore on ignition.
>>65446197It was definitely the least silly of the ACR options.
>>65446193>>65446197>>65446201It didn't work because the rear bullet gets stuck in the front bullets turbulence and throws it off completely. The two bullets also sometimes fuck with each other and throws everything off. The idea could work but you would need to do a lot of R&D
>>65446221you do realize theres plenty of footage of it working just fine, right?the issue is that it increased the weight & cost of ammo, all while having a less accurate projectilethey later tested it on .50 bmg a bunch, but it still had the same issues in the endi still think it has merit on lmg platforms, for sheer volume of fire
>>65446290When I say "it didn't work" I mean not in a practical sense. The accuracy problem is due to aerodynamics. I think it's solvable just needs a lot more research
>>65446221>It didn't work because the rear bullet gets stuck in the front bullets turbulence and throws it off completelyIt's not.Duplex bullet dispersion is smallest among all hyperburst designs
>>65447226I should add if not special design duolix bullets impacts are too close to each other, they made specific adjustments to the second bullet so it deviates more. You can see it on the crossection, second bullet base is assymetrical
>>65446197It's not, getting good consistency out of duplex or triplex ammunition is difficult to do, and it doesn't appreciably improve hit probability.

>>65445720>double barrel shotguns exist>ergo all of spew was shot gunLe wow
>>65445720is that a FAMAS?
>>65446207I know the g11 but what's the word on the other 3?

>>65447931They were all garbage, except for the Colt which was just a dressed up M16.
