I would design a light rifle to replace the m1 carbine. It would be made of steel and alloy, have a gas impengement system, a rotating bolt, and a non-reciprocating charging handle.
Seriously. Get the blue prints and go to work. |

That's a good start. I'd like to see a fixed combustion chamber weapon, where the projectile and propellant are loaded seperately.
OTOH, there's probably more money in AR/XCR/556 accessories. |

A pistol that you can dial the velocitiy back on. So cops could switch between lethal and less-lethal. Do it for the puppy-dogs.

I doubt it would be very fun to design a magazine that will double-stack rimmed cartidges. There's a reason that it's rarely done. |

A sidearm similar to this, might be marketable...
   deadly caliber... high capacity... light weight.... |

i think i would try to avoid polymers, no offense to any of you, because i'd want to mainly utilize all the machine tools available. Any body happen to have a copy of autocad or the like to help with the design process?
ETA ^ i like the way Freerider04 thinks |

why someone has not made a hicap 22 pistol with a magazine on THIS concept is beyond me It has been done in the past in some esoteric centerfire pistols i think you could easily adapt this principle to a Beretta92/Glock17 sized magazine and still hold 30-40rds of 22LR |

Gas piston, 5.56, AR mags, quick change barrel, quick change forward handguard, MIAD-ish pistol grip, collapsible buttstock, low carry rail with optics rail on top, minimal use of plastics, AR-like controls.
Pretty much an XM8, but without the suck. |

A rifle in .308 that weighs less than 8 lbs. loaded, has integral picatinny rails, uses a gas piston, has a folding & collapsing stock, is ergonomic, and has built in iron sights.
It also has to be durable and easily disassembled. I think I just described the SCAR-H... |

why?? I've owned several Kel-Tecs, a couple of Glocks and a Kahr - (as have several MILLION other gun owners) - all with polymer frames, and have NEVER had a single problem. No KaBoooommmmmssss.... no cracked frames, nothing bad ever! The right polymer compound will always be stronger than a machined aluminum frame, and lighter (oh,yea!!) |

A belt fed automatic, tripod mounted, twin barreled 12 gauge shotgun capable of firing at around 600 rounds a minute.
Loaded with buckshot you would almost create a wall of lead. I think it would make great defensive "perimeter" weapon. Just the sound of charging one would send the bad guys running  |

I've been mulling a design for an easily-home-makable .50 BMG rifle, using commodity parts (AR or AK FCG, M2HB or Aircraft M2 barrel, etc) and simple machining (as in anyone with a hobby lathe could make the 'special' parts (bolt face and barrel extension, in this case)... Of course, if you do this you must NOT sell parts kits, make illegal machineguns, or threaten federal judges... The ATF might come and take you away if you do that... |

like i said earlier i wouldn't necessarily have access to polymer technologies and I'm far from being into the chemistry to create a polymer. I would like to make something out of metal. I'm like the ideas of a small compact autoloading rifle similar to the M1 carbine or that of a high capacity .22 conversion for an existing handgun. keep the ideas coming. |

The 10/22 uses a rotary-feed magazine. I don't see how someone could adapt that to use in a conventional handgun. |

Seburo M-5 - Seburo M5 is a medium-sized SA/DA handgun that fires 5.45 x 18 mm 7N7 cartridge used in the Russian PSM and OTs-23 pistols. M5 has an ambidextrous safety, and its magazine holds 20 rounds. Picture of Seburo M-5 |

Military 5.56 Rifle:
Bullpup direct impingement, but would it be possible to blow the gas back into a chamber behind the bolt face to push the bcg back, thus being cleaner on the bolt and extractor. Takes quad stack 60 round magazines, fires closed bolt on semi and open bolt on full auto. 40mm grenade launcher in front to balance it out. Old 30round AR mags would work as well. Front left side charging handle, easily switchable as is the ejection port. Can be done with no tools. Integrated optic with IR laser/illum/light built into a 1xRDS sight that is also etched. The hole unit running off one battery pack. Add a magnifier with range finder if needed, or a Slim NVG unit (only has the tube, no illum etc). Fixed folding 0-600m BUIS with windage, elevation and range adjustments. Integrated Suppressor/Moderator On the end of a 20" barrel. Civilian Rifle: Same rifle without the FA or 40mm. More Civilian Rifles A Mini-Garand that takes 10 5.56mm rounds on en-block clips, 18" barrel. If its feasible make it a 15 round en block clip. This would be insurance against other bans and to be marketed in commie states. Pistols: Line of fullsize, compact and subcompact double stack pistols in 45, 10mm, 40, 9mm and 22 (with a tripple or quad stacked mag which would give lke a 20 or 30 round capacity) that use the same frame. Add longer slide assemblies for the larger guns and add on grip extensions to extend the mag well down. Also make a carbine that uses the same mags like the storm. Also add a line of single stack pistols with the same models. Carbine/PDW: A cheap 5.56mm weapon that uses AR mags, and the mags are horiztonal out the left side like a sten gun. Trigger is under the mag well/ejectionport area for a compact weapon. Bonus points if it uses AR parts. 16" railed FF weapon. A modular AR-15 mag well block for popular pistol magazines to work in AR's w/o having to get dedicated lowers (like the OLy Arms KGL9) or blocks that only use SMG mags. |

this would be plausible in the fact that you'd take the idea behind this and frankistein it with an existing magazine out there with the proper feed lips to function with a .22 top end conversion for a standard pistol. does anyone have rough dimensions for one of those rotary mags, as in how tall it is in comparison to a glock 17 mag? |

Whatever it is, I would make it out of Titanium. Like a solid bolt rifle that is 100% titanium. Maybe in, say, 338 Lapula Mag. That sucker wouldn't budge an inch, but would be rock solid and never rust.

Pretty much the AR with a cleaner OS, or an M1 Carbine type rifle in 5.56 that takes AR mags basically a slightly bigger copy of the M1 Carbine in a better cartridge(no thats NOT the mini-14).
Id really like a SCAR/XCR rifle that takes AK mags in 7.62x39

so furthering the modernized M1 carbine idea. what type of operating system would be preferable? How many rounds would you want it to hold? what about a sort of hybrid between the m14, ar15, and M1 carbine?
