Small Arms Commission Quest

I'm disappointed nobody's suggested 7.62x51mm yet

C'mon, guys, let's have some love for Best Round

EDIT: Corrected caliber. Error, this is why you don't post when sleep-deprived

What's wrong with 9 mm?

Everything. Too fat to be fast, too thin to be a brick, too small to get too much punch without better powders.

I approve of this plan.

I suggested them in the Discord, actually. These all need to be selfloaders.

If we are just going to push for bigger calibers why not just jump strait to 12.7mm?

A straight-case 13mm is actually somewhere in the design documents for something somewhere.

Because this is an !Austrian design team that does not believe in this foolishness you call an "inch".

That and it was decided to stick to Metric because the author is a pantsie that way. IMO, if you're doing gun design then the only proper way to do it is the Traditional Way, in grains and slugs and inches/thou and probably even gauge. Gauge is a fun way to measure caliber!

Down with the american foolishness that is the inch.

Down with the foolishness with using an absurd scientific system that is based on vauge absolutes which change on an irregular basis because of new discoveries, I say. The fact that thou and grains are more useful than millimetres and grams in this scenario is an added bonus.
 
Next assignment is a pistol?

You know, I think that that's a project more forgiving of crazy ideas than the rifle one.

Simply because pistols aren't as important for war making as rifles. They're also issued in smaller numbers, making expense less significant.

It's ideally going to be a cavalry-issue pistol, so going with late 19th century doctrine, still pretty important.
But yeah, this is going to be a colorful competition.
 
Oh no, we will end up with some big calibre revolver with an underpowered cartridge, loading gate, no extractor and pitiful sights. So the result will somehow combine all the bad parts of a Nagant revolver with those of a Webley or Reichsrevolver.
 
for fun i would vote for a 50 cal for practical use i would probably take a 45 acp case stretch it and call it the 11.43mm
 
Not going for a 10mm+ revolver capable of firing both single-load rounds and shotgun shells. SMDH.
