The Nazis sure knew how to make a sexy machine gun

T4R. Do you have a favorite machine gun?

I've always loved the MG-34.

Also sexy, but basically a G36. I wouldn't have minded if we adopted them though. HK should at least bring them to the civilian market. Maybe with their new plant in the U.S., they'll surprise us with just that.

If I'm honest, I'm biased towards the MG-34 because it's what the DLT-19 is based off of in STAR WARS.

I especially like their use of the color red and the practical mindset of everything they built.

I can't really disagree with you. Is there anything German that you'd recommend to me?

I watched this video yesterday along with a bunch of other videos Ian's made.

a walther handgun

DAS B00T x2 · October 08, 2017, 11:56:31 AM

Stoner 63 lmg varient, easily.
The 63 itself is a grail gun for me, but being that I'll probably never own an nfa firearm though, the Robinson 96 copy is something I wanna own one day.

Now slap on a thicker barrel and make it belt fed? Oh baby fuck yeah.

Pretty, and comfortable, but I think they should have made it more modular.

Yes. Yes it does. No picture though? How disappointing. I like what some eurpeans did with it in terms of upgrades. I forget which country in particular. I'd have to look for the forgotten weapons video again.

They are simple machines that have devastated humanity. Pretty intriguing if you ask me.

Ah. but you see, it is not the machines that have devastated humanity, but rather the people that wield them. The machines were only made to further the will of violence among men. Man is the problem. Weapons are just an extension of man's will.

DAS B00T x2 · October 08, 2017, 09:31:36 PM

really tho
It's a goddamn shame that the vast majority of these weapons that saw service in the Navy from Vietnam to the 80's were destroyed and mutilated when units replaced them with SAWs.

The 63's left in the world in any configuration deserve to be enshrined.

The 63 is a beautiful looking weapon.

Honestly I just like the aesthetics. I really like guns that look like they belong in space. G11, P90, FN2000, XM8 and TKB-022 all fall into the same category.
