Israel's new double barrel assault rifle

[Walking Dead]

I have a feeling this thread will be locked twice as fast as a regular one.

That's an interesting idea, but not a new one. It reminds me of the Winchester/Olin Salvo rifle that the US government experimented with in the 50's.

It's a pretty interesting concept, but I don't see anything like that ever being adopted by mainstream military forces.

 

[ApacheCoTodd]

Well I had to check but am now twice as disinterested as I was in the .45x2.

Or, am I half as interested as I was in something else which was completely uninteresting?

Now, true, realistic and historically significant like .50X2/4 or twin 1919s or maybe even MG42s... Well.

btw.. 1800RPM = 30 rounds per second, which means .03 nanoseconds from one round to the next...

bullet travels at 900,000mm a second, meaning the bullet travels 900mm every nano second... with a 405mm barrel it takes about .45 nano seconds for the bullet to leave the barrel...

my math could be off, but its fairly close

You mean 33333333 nanoseconds from one round to the next. Your math is way, way off.

I doubt this concept will find any traction. It's most likely photoshopped.

Fixed it for you. You are off by more than a few decimal places.

A nanosecond is one billionth of a second. .03 nanoseconds is 3 one-hundred-billionths of a second.

bullet travels at 900,000mm a second, meaning the bullet travels 900mm every millisecond... with a 405mm barrel it takes about .45 milliseconds for the bullet to leave the barrel...

see.. first of all, this design just isnt worth the added components and width.. so its already a waste of time and energy...

second of all, the only way to make it not insanely complex, is to have a single bolt carrier, single hammer fire both barrels.. the only way you can get both shots to fire at exactly the same time anyway... and if you did this, you double the likeliness of a failure to feed, or failure to extract and then neither barrel works

and yeah, my math was way off, i was up for over 18 hours when i did that, i dont function well when tired, kinda like the rifle in discussion wont function well under heavy usage because youre doubling the chances of failure

And if you actually look at the picture you can tell the second flash hider isn't on a barrel.

I heard it was a 6.8 mm spc

I heard it was a 5.7x28..............

Even the 1 million RPM metal storm gun isn't that fast. It fires one shot every micro second, which is 33,333 times slower than your claim on the AN-94.

.03 nanoseconds would be enough time for a beam of light to travel only 9 millimeters.

---------TWICE THE CLEANING!!

And half the accuracy!

I bet it's going to be the AR-15 version of this trainwreck:

Which means it will still be more accurate than an AK

 

[Kush]

And half the accuracy!



Which means it will still be more accurate than an AK

But would it be more accurate than a triple barrel ak?

 

[allaroundhunter]

But would it be more accurate than a triple barrel ak?

Hmmmmm.....for that no answer I have.....

 

[mortablunt]

Wow, I've never seen a THR thread deteriorate this quickly.

 

[JohnnyK]

dude... me wants a triple barrell AK!

 

[armarsh]

I believe you confused nano with milli, same as the Dems seem to with millions and trillions

You are only saying that because it is true.

 

[Kush]

Only problem with the triple barrel ak (actually called the tkb-059) is the recoil would be equivalent to a .300 Remington ultra magnum out of a 6.4 lb gun, I don't see that being very controllable on full auto.

 

[MachIVshooter]

That triple AK looks like a case ejection nightmare.............

Just reading that made my shoulder sore.

Looks like a single gun laying next to a mirror.

Sub sonic and silenced on one side full power on the other?

 

[Comedian]

Sub sonic and silenced on one side full power on the other?

Only possible if it allows firing from one barrel at a time, and even then it wouldn't be worth the extra weight considering you can switch between sub/supersonic ammo with little more than a mag change in a conventional setup.

"does it come with red dot binoclulers" holy sh**! I almost peed my pants thats so funny!

 

[Art Eatman]

Enuf. Reminds me too much of an Edsel.
