I know what you mean by the M60. It was my favorite in Vietnam when mounted on a vehicle. Either on a swivel in a jeep or gun ring on a 5 ton straight truck. There is a pic of me on the Guntrucks sight with an M60. I post it but I can't seem to get that to work. I still favor the M16 while on foot or shooting in a confined space. I qualified with and was issued an M14, M16 and M60 at different times and also used a 50 cal. They each are great and have their place.

Revised Rifle:

Okay, fixed it:), its 25% shorter now, a bit cleaned up, oh, and can someone please tell me the advantage of what roller-delayed blowback is? It's just supposed to be lighter I believe, right?

Here is what the balanced recoil like:
http://s36.photobucket.com/albums/e22/FatLife/?action=view&current=ak107op.gif

M68 Specifications:

•Field stripped without tools
•Waterproof to 20 meters so maintenance isn’t needed after surfacing
•All metal components are Corrosion-resistant, high impact, heat treated stainless steel
•Wide Clearances between moving parts for reliability
•Few, large, and robust moving parts for durability and reliability
•Thick Breech to prevent chamber explosion
•Oversized gas piston, and tube
•The top of the magazine is machined from a single steel billet, making it practically impossible to damage the feed-lips causing jams or Failures-To-Feed
•Bolt that over-recoils backwards (to reduce chances of short stroke)
•Long-stroke gas operation, rotating 2-lug bolt
•Barrel locks into extension of barrel so no headspacing is required when changing barrels.
•Polymer receiver and furniture, molded as a single part
•Cold-hammer forged barrel
•Disassembles in push-pin hinge open fashion for speed and simplicity. Rear push-pin is spring-loaded to snap back when reassembled. Front pin is immovable, so receivers always remain attached.
•Cannot begin disassembly with magazine inserted
•Cleaning kit stored in a trapdoor in the buttstock, with a cleaning rod running under the barrel, in the same style as the AK-47.
•Breech and gas tube are accessible for cleaning from the back
•Cannot be disassembled past parts that need maintenance without tools
•Factory zeroed iron sights are both attached to the upper receiver so they are not misaligned after reassembly. Elevated for shooter comfort. Matte black finish to reduce glare in daytime, tritium lines for low-light conditions.
•Sideways mounted knife bayonet increases lethality, since an organ stabbed horizontally is more injured than one stabbed vertically. Knife serves non-combat functions, such as opening ammo cans, cutting wire, roots, wood, and digging trenches.
•Removable two-point sling
•Selector similar to the G36, with pictograms
•Completely smooth and streamlined gray synthetic exterior to prevent the weapon from shining, rusting, catching on vegetation or clothing (or knobs and selectors from breaking off), or the user from burning or freezing his hands to the metal in extreme temperatures.
•Hand-guard is free floating. It is also cylindrical and angled to be smaller at the muzzle, since people naturally connect their thumb and index while holding something, and being round makes it fit all hand sizes. It extends all the way to the muzzle, making it comfortable for different arm lengths. Grooves in either side give something for the fingers to dig into. Has a hole in the bottom to attach vertical grip.
•Bolt catch button to speed reloading
•Thick, ambidextrous non-reciprocating charging handle can be safely released, instead of eased back into position, making reloading faster
•Deep, beveled and flared magazine well to assist reloading under stress
•Magazine lugs prevent operator from jamming magazine too far in under stress.
•Spring-loaded firing pin prevents slam-fires, and channels in it help water escape
•Charging handle face is wide and rounded to prevent discomfort while operating it, since muscle memory will subconsciously make operate them more slowly to avoid thin parts cutting into their fingers
•Textured pistol grip, hand guard and magazine sides improve grip
•Large trigger guard for use by people with large or gloved fingers
•Buttstock folds and locks securely to the right from 800mm to 500mm overall length
•RIS (Rail Integration System) allow attachment of various accessories.
•Hand guard can be removed to be replaced with a handguard with built in accessories.
•QDB(Quick Detach Barrel) can be quickly replaced without changing POI
•Caliber changeable by simply replacing bolt and barrel.
•Polymer double-stack magazines have strengthening ribs running lengthwise down the sides, and plastic window with red numbered graduations letting operator check remaining ammunition quickly. Capacities are 15, 30(box), 45, 60, and 90(drum) round magazines. Can be quickly reloaded from 15-round stripper clips.
•In-line buttstock directs recoil into shoulder, reducing muzzle climb
•Built-in multifunction muzzle device which reduces recoil and obscures flash by directing it downwards, can also have a suppressor, blank adaptor, or rifle grenade attached
•B.A.R.S. (Balanced Automatic Recoil System) eliminates the recoil of the reciprocating bolt, like in the AK-107/8.
•Rubber shock-padding at the rear of the bolt, and contact points for the forward-moving counterweight, further reduce felt recoil and noise.
•The shoulder pad is rubber with serrations for increased traction.
 
Oversized gas piston, and tube

remember, that is not a good idea. If oversized, the gun WILL NOT work. It needs to be the correct size for caliber and the pressure rating of the cartridge.

Cannot begin disassembly with magazine inserted

Again, how is this done?

Built-in multifunction muzzle device which reduces recoil and obscures flash by directing it downwards


And increases muzzle rise... A properly designed flash hider will reduce recoil a little and still hide flash well. I have tried this, i fired a round (in pitch black one cold night) wioth the flash hider, then took it off and fired another round. I had to feel my way inside after that, i was looking at the muzzle. This was with a AR-15.

Hand-guard is free floating. It is also cylindrical and angled to be smaller at the muzzle, since people naturally connect their thumb and index while holding something, and being round makes it fit all hand sizes. It extends all the way to the muzzle, making it comfortable for different arm lengths. Grooves in either side give something for the fingers to dig into. Has a hole in the bottom to attach vertical grip.

REALLY HEAVY! I am not finding that many (actually any) things diffferent from the first list, ecept something is gone. That would be the stamped reciever, but there is not mention of reciever in this one, unless i am getting blind...

what roller-delayed blowback is...

IIRC, RDB is a very old system that shouldn't be considered on a "modern" rifle. I do not know how to design one, but a a friend who does design guns told me that....

Cannot be disassembled past parts that need maintenance without tools

Should be the other way around. Or at least a little. Look at the vaporware bushmaster ACR. Almost everything comes off without a tool. Including the barrel. I would stop maybe at the barrel, something more like the XCR, LMT, or SCAR system. They use a few allen screws that hold the barrel in.


Few, large, and robust moving parts for durability and reliability

This doesn't really go along with the "balanced recoil" thing....

Well, thats about all.
