HK have mastered the art of personal weaponry. Any country that's outfitting their troops with anything else is coping

[-] Milk_Sheikh@lemm.ee 12 points 7 months ago

Disagree. They do dumb little things akin to Apple because “that’s how it’s designed to be used”. See: not offering multi-position collapsible stocks for decades, PMAG incompatibility for multiple 416 generations, pistol paddle magazine releases (even on US contracts), weird optic rail height on the 416, HK never really caring about aftermarket parts or third party accessories…

They build quality, well/over designed firearms with quirks - everyone does, the Belgians, Italians, Americans, etc. The 416/417 is the obvious choice because: the time they’ve spent iterating issues and, it’s top class AR variant with a proven G36 piston system.

Why should HK care about third party accessories? Those do not matter at all for large military contracts.

M4 SOPMOD Block I and II would like a word with you…

I don't think special forces fall under large military contracts.

pistol paddle magazine releases

Why exactly is this a bad thing?

weird optic rail height on the 416

You can also spacer-up, you can't spacer-down.

[-] Milk_Sheikh@lemm.ee 1 points 7 months ago

Paddle magazine release isn’t a negative really, but it’s a weird thing to hold onto a very Euro-centric handgun feature, when selling to Americans who are used to a side button. You gain ambi use though

Sorry, I can't hear you over the sound of the C7 being the best AR15 ever made.

A community for your defence shitposting needs

Rules

1. Be niceDo not make personal attacks against each other, call for violence against anyone, or intentionally antagonize people in the comment sections.

2. Explain incorrect defense articles and takes

If you want to post a non-credible take, it must be from a "credible" source (news article, politician, or military leader) and must have a comment laying out exactly why it's non-credible. Low-hanging fruit such as random Twitter and YouTube comments belong in the Matrix chat.

3. Content must be relevant

Posts must be about military hardware or international security/defense. This is not the page to fawn over Youtube personalities, simp over political leaders, or discuss other areas of international policy.

4. No racism / hatespeech

No slurs. No advocating for the killing of people or insulting them based on physical, religious, or ideological traits.

5. No politics

We don't care if you're Republican, Democrat, Socialist, Stalinist, Baathist, or some other hot mess. Leave it at the door. This applies to comments as well.

6. No seriousposting

We don't want your uncut war footage, fundraisers, credible news articles, or other such things. The world is already serious enough as it is.

7. No classified material

Classified ‘western’ information is off limits regardless of how "open source" and "easy to find" it is.

8. Source artwork

If you use somebody's art in your post or as your post, the OP must provide a direct link to the art's source in the comment section, or a good reason why this was not possible (such as the artist deleting their account). The source should be a place that the artist themselves uploaded the art. A booru is not a source. A watermark is not a source.

9. No low-effort posts

No egregiously low effort posts. E.g. screenshots, recent reposts, simple reaction & template memes, and images with the punchline in the title. Put these in weekly Matrix chat instead.

10. Don't get us banned

No brigading or harassing other communities. Do not post memes with a "haha people that I hate died… haha" punchline or violating the sh.itjust.works rules (below). This includes content illegal in Canada.

11. No misinformation

NCD exists to make fun of misinformation, not to spread it. Make outlandish claims, but if your take doesn’t show signs of satire or exaggeration it will be removed. Misleading content may result in a ban. Regardless of source, don’t post obvious propaganda or fake news. Double-check facts and don't be an idiot.
