I know you explained it to me twice, but good luck!
Xtreme TACTICS 101 said:Ok, I have figured out exactly how the battle rifle would work in real life. It took a good 2 weeks of solid research, but I have finally desinged the whole upper reciever to be as real-world accurate as possible. Now, I based most of the internals of the Battle Rifle on the SA-80:
And the FAMAS:
Heres the diagram of the whole upper reciever I drew:
NOTE: DO NOT use without writen permision!
The first point I came up with was that it would be impossible to have a 3 round burst fire in about 1 second without the recoil of the rifle being 2x that of a .50 calaber machine gun, and the rifle shaking to pieces.
The second point I came up with was the stick under the barrel of the battle rifle is part of a short-stroke gas piston. Heres a diagram of what a short-stroke gas piston is. Now remember, this diagram is a M4 Carbine, not a Battle Rifle. The Battle rifle's short-stroke gas piston is under the barrel, not above the barrel like the M4 Carbine.
Heres a basic diagram of what I will be explaining in this next paragraph:
Now, the short-stroke gas piston system actually creates most of the recoil of the rifle. The recoil of the rifle is part of the reason why another round can be chambered and fired. What happens is when you slam a new magazine into position and pull back the charging handle a little device called a transfor lever is pushed back along with the charging handle. When the charging handle is pulled as far back as possible, the transfor lever attaches to the firing pin housing. As the charging handle slams back into place the transfor lever, dragging the firing pin housing pushes a shell into the correct firing position. This position is located just under the charging handle. Now, when you squeeze the trigger the firing pin inside the firing pin housing is thrown forward and ignited the primer of the shell. This lights the pouder inside the shell, and with enough preasure sends the bullet through the barrel, and at your target. As the bullet exits the barrel the short-stroke gas piston vents any harmful gasses away from the gunman. This, along with the bullet creates the recoil that throws the charging handle back, ejects the spent cartridge, and re-starts the cycle.
Now that I have figured this out, I just have to make it work.
Wish me luck.
Cheers!
