It's... beautiful!.. :o

that looks like one very accurate AR, with how far forward the trigger is n all.

does it work under water?

Yes, but restrictively.

Nice idea with the bull-pup concept.

Very Nice Gun!!
But history has shown that the 5.56mm is too weak and the 7.62mm is too inaccurate.
Therefore, it should use the new 6.8mm Remington SPC.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6.8_mm_Remington_SPC

Hmm, interesting... I saw this at "Future Weapons"

Hey! Me too!

7.62x39mm Russian maybe, but 7.62x51mm NATO and 7.62x54mm Russian are both exeptionaly more accurate and powerfull. Don't think because the AK47 and it's variants fire 7.62 that it's a good determination of how accurate the round is, 7.62 nato is used in almost every sniper rifle and DMR in existance because of it's supperior ballistics over 5.56, you just can't carry as much because of it's size and weight. The cost to go to 6.8mm is also too high, and as for Remington SPC, well the round didn't seem all to supperior to me.

Well, in a Close-Quarters Situation where your enemy is a suicidal die-hard who is amped up on painkillers and is charging at you with nothing but malice in his heart and mind, you're gonna need a lot of stopping power in your assault rifle to put him down and make sure he stays down.

That's why they're worried about continuing use with the 5.56x45mm NATO as an assault rifle cartridge: it has insufficient stopping power.

Exactly, thats why the 7.62 NATO cartridge is a more reliable round. It's battle tested, and will stop someone dead, litteraly. The recoil on the other hand isn't an issue anymore, like it was with the original M14's. The more modern weapons using it like the H&K 417 and the FN SCAR-H both have a pistol grip and an in line stock, as apposed to the old rifle type the original M14's used, so muzzle raise isn't a problem. 5.56 isn't a real rifle round anyways, it's a carbine cartridge, same with 7.62x36 Russian. 5.56 is rumored to tumble, but thats not the case most of the time, instead of imparting it's energy in the target it simply passes through it. 7.62 NATO has the hitting power needed on the battle field, the reason it's not used NOW is because of the mistake made during the Vietnam war, and it would be a logistics nightmare to change back now. Also, any weapon firing a full length rifle cartridge is a battle Rifle, not an assault rifle. The only other problem is the magazine size of the 7.62 NATO weapons available, 20 rounds is OK, but 30 would be better.

Depends more on the bullet, the range, and the gun. Anyway this gun looks like a SL8. A lot actually

do want ^^

Very nice assault rifle! XD

+Faved

I like it..., a lot....

Looks like a cross between a G-36 and a T.A.R. 21

All it needs is a ACC suppressor and a NVD

I like this design alot.. very small, almost smg, but with a full barrel and the option of either of the two most used nato rounds.

Love the design of this. This looks believably ergonomic and functional.

Nice looking rifle. I like the iron sights and the top rail.

Must have!!!

I want to design the machines sometimes.They goes well in your hand . Keep goin'! ^_^

Only serial shots or can be switched into single?

Can be switched :)

Very nice design you got there. My friend wanted me to point out a few key points to you though, also would like me to ask you a few things on his behalf, he has a fascination with guns.

-the point of bullpup rifles is that they can be shorter than the AR series of rifles.
-if it's longer than the m4 carbine, he's doing it wrong.
-I'd like to know the dimensions.
-and whether it's supposed to be 5.56 or 7.62 (no rifle can use both currently with a lot of spare parts)

This is what my friend wants to know, think you can give some insight.

Hmm, length is about 800mm. But to tell the truth, I didn't think about detailed length.
This can use both ammo by changing parts.(like a Steyr AUG) SCAR L,H cannot treat two different ammunition with one rifle, but each part is approximately common.

The Nephnecean are your high-technology species aren't they? One thing I always find curious (and annoying) is when 'futuristic' guns look like they were designed in the 1970s. (No obvious ambidextrous feattures. No forward eject tube. No acessories rails. No obvious electro-optical features. No modern flash supressor. Opaque magazine. No computer enhancement. No obvious security features. Conventional feed system. Fixed cheek rest.) Or is this the older model about to be replaced?

Yes, Nephnecean are high-technology. But automatic rifle is completed in 1940's(like a StG44), and I thinks that it does not do dramatic evolution up to today. So, I think rifles do not do dramatic evolution during the near future. (Even if Nephnecean has a laser gun and rail gun to load onto a ship, technology of the degree that cannot make the personal lethal laser rifles.)
This is not be replaced model. And please see this :) http://www.furaffinity.net/view/2750792/

> I thinks that it does not do dramatic evolution up to today

I cannot agree. That's like saying all mammels still breast feed, so there have been no significant changes over the past 65 million years.

The G11, OCIW, and P90 all all very different from the StG44. The APCR rounds the chinese are devloping are a step beyond plain and simple ball or full metal jacket ammunition. Metal guns are not nearly as strong as carbon nanotube reinforcement could make them. Metal storm or liquid propellent both enable the possibility of a gun with a 'stun' setting.

And that's just up to today. Small compact lasers and modern radios mean (in theory) that there is no reason that a single soldier cannot order in heavy fire support, and guide it directly on top target as easily as ordering a pizza. With cameras and memmory storage, you could put a 'black box' onto every gun, recording the forwards 270 degrees every soldier sees - which would make investigations into friendly fire and/or civilian deaths easier. Cameras and modern AI can track movement quite easily (even if they don't have a clue what they're looking at) so fit an electric trigger and your gun will shoot itself based upon a weighted-average of your barrel's direction, which would improve accuracy on aimed shots. With a little more imagination, two rifles talking to each other could let one soldier see 'invisible' objects, merely because the other soldier can see it and can relay it's position.

Whether these things come to pass or not, there is room for improvement in the modern rifle and ammunition. Two modern soldier can have more firepower (anti tank rocket) and better electronics than a WWII tank. A single WWII soldier can operate a mortar that will slaughter WWI machine gun posts. A WWI machine gun post can slaughter Nepoleonic era soldiers of any nation, and so on. There's good reason to suspect a soldier of the future (along with his gun) might have comparable abilities (if not firepower) to any modren tank or helicopter.

Ah,sorry. I said in a meaning of "basic automatic rifle firing mechanism" does not do dramatic evolution up to today. " G11,OICW(XM29?) were certainly innovative, but it couldn't survive. If some problem cannot be settled at a trial manufacture stage, of course it not to be adopted formally.

I think, The laser, and other electronics modularizes it and should equip to rail(or other part) if necessary later.(like a PEQ-15) If that modules broken, can change it immediately. And the cost may be reduced.

I have my idea, I probably do not change a design, but think that your idea is form of the one of the hi-tech rifles. The design(designing) becomes interesting because there are plural opinions. Thank you ;)

That's indeed enigmatic. Also the same is supposed to go with 'futuristic' communicators: e.g. many of them don't have a video-conversation feature which sounds strange...

Nice rifle, and for once it has the space for all the important internal workings, great job. Now all it needs is a grenade launcher attachment.

From what I can see, it looks like the weapon could actualy function, and the way the ejecting brass is sent out the bottom means this weapon would be quite supperior in a more stealthy role. Over all, amazing work.

Very awesome!

Just to let you know Anticarrot the P90 is an smg not an assault rifle both because of its over all size and the fact that it uses pistol caliber rounds rather than rifle caliber

Also you design is awesome and looks great

simple,nice,plausible and functional...great!
instant fave! ^^

I really like the look of that gun.

i love this gun (and most of your art btw) this gun would be an awesome weapon X3

the weapon looks nice, but at the same time it seems extremely impractical. Most weapons have the magazine in front of the trigger not behind. It looks like the design you made could cause complications with reloading where the trooper could fumble at extracting and inserting the cartridge at times. The gun is cool and all but what good is a gun if it's impractical.

in addition to reloading problems, handling the weapon could be an equal nightmare. extending the arm so far to where recoil will be extremely disgusting which could cause some problems.
