1996 is going to be so bad ass I can't wait to get neck bearded on some flechette rounds

Interesting that so few of the design elements from these guns that made them unique live on in other weapons.
That rib on the colt contender . Is Colt or some other outfit like Fortis or Geissele going to make a rail like that to enhance point shooting? |

Wonderful video, except for budget cuts by RINO George HW Bush and leftist Billy blowjob Clinton.

I can imagine guys like rusted ace saying that they longed for AKs after trying for years to get one of those monstrosities to work. Flechette rifles were tried in the Vietnam era, they had some issues. |

I'm only partway through. The AAI is a gem so far.
Pull trigger, 1800rpm burst. Pull trigger a couple times where nothing happens, maybe to reset a cam or something, then another zip, then useless trigger. "The long profile of the weapon aids the shooter in the quick, or 'point fire' situation." |

"The long profile of the weapon aids the shooter in the quick, or 'point fire' situation." View Quote That cracked me up too. That's the first time I've actually seen a video of a G11 firing, and now I understand why it never went anywhere. What a terrible rifle. Did you see how much the recoil was moving the poor soldier firing it? And how long that awful single-stack 45 round magazine was?! It looked two feet long! Can you imagine carrying those? The Steyr entry looked practical enough, and the Colt was basically just an A2 with different furniture and a new bullet design. Thanks for the video OP, it was well worth watching. You're the man! |

The G11 definitely looks like a product of the 1980s. Aesthetics and ergonomics of a 2x8, which don't help the already sizeable muzzle jump. That reciprocating magazine can't be good for durability or reduced rifle motion. |

I have a copy of Popular Mechanics from 1997 that talks about the greatness of the OICW.

If I was Bill Gates rich I'd have that test range in my backyard.....I was more interested in that than the rifles. I imagine with today's technology it would be even more badass.

Hes no costa... LOL
Seriously though, I think what is happening is that the recoil system delays the recoil impulse until all 3 rounds leave the bore, but then you have to deal with all 3 at once, no cheating physics here. |

LOL that 2 bullet ammo looks like some guy made it at his reloading bench in his basement. Let me glue two bullets together and load them into a 223 case LOL

whiz bang 80s awesomeness. none of them outperformed the m16. with the flachette round moving so flat, it might make a neat sniper round. the small size hole they make is useless for an assault rifle. someone should make a 50 cal round.

Neat that the AAI was Suppressed - The Steyr looked like a real pussy cat !

AAI looked like something I could see using.
I'd like to know how the double bullet colt rounds tested, I forgot the name. |

I'd like to see how that one performs in a mud/sand/dirt situation. |

Quite impressed with the almost total lack of recoil in the Steyr as compared with the others. The H&K was pathetic when recoil is compared, One shouldn't worry about ''scope eye'' using a combat rifle shooting a lightweight round.

This is why we need to have a war every so often. Peacetime theorizing leads to goofy ideas if left untested by combat.
