This gun does not have fixed sights on the hand-side, which would eliminate the fore and aft heavy sights.
I don’t like picatinny rails. They encourage hollywood gun behavior.

In other words, the principle value of these weapons is making you difficult to grapple. I’m kind of a fan of the inverted grip and the spiked handguard. This allows you to use the sword to protect your reloading forearm.

And it is absolutely possible to produce an under barrel 30mm or 20mm grenade. But it appears to be more useful to keep two separate weapons.

(stupid stuff)(gun nerd warning. re: games and movies)
Ok, so yes, dual wielding is stupid if you are trying to aim and fire with two weapons. You will simply be faster and FAR more accurate with one that cycles quickly (esp steel 1911 in 9mm or 38sp). 9MM has a long flat trajectory. Even the old guys who carried two guns was simply so that they didn’t have to deal with slow reloading. Although there are and were trick shot guys who shoot one at a time, it is in fact faster to shoot one pistol at a time.
But if you use one as a shield/reloading and the other offensively, that’s different altogether.
If you train to not use sights but point shoot or hip shoot that’s even better. It takes more work. But I mean, if we are talking advanced skills then … that’s what more work means.
Are you better off with two men with SMG’s? Yes. But they are far harder to hide, and from the evidence, it’s far harder to train idiots to use without killing you by accident.
BTW: the Barretta 92 is a sh-t gun. It’s just durable enough to survive generations of 19 year old morons. There are only three guns I care about 1911, Browning, CZ75, and below that I’m just gonna stick with my Walther for “Date Nights”.
The HK417A2 combines the skeletal features of the M4 with the (thank god) G36(AR18) piston system and 7.62/.308 ammunition – and with full size barrel will reach out to the long distances we have seen in mountain/desert/steppe regions compared to the jungles of the M16 era. The G2 removes select fire (leaving it only semi-auto), and adds steel (upper receiver) instead of aluminum.
My undrestanding is that the military (finally) is seeking an even better munition between 6.5 and 7mm, as well as .300 whisper for suppressor fire.
So the debate over the ‘light’ .556 ammunition is finally over. We are continuing to engage at longer ranges.
I assume that westerners will increasingly seek to ‘own the night’.
My suspicion is that we will develop disposable (explosive) close quarters robots and gear carriers as soon as battery manufacturing reaches the next energy density multiple.
Until the robot itself is the explosive weapon then I think we are not cost effective. Electronics prices are there. The energy prices are not.

I suppose that its not common knowledge but we were doing this back in 2006, and if you’re going to store data in manifolds (topologies) of N-dimensions of relations, then you can used various pathing algorithms and even possibly N-dimensional visibility algorithms to search content far faster than any existing technology.
This was our intention with Runcible’s technology.
It was just too early and I realized that it was billion dollar research and development effort that I am not intellectually or emotionally of Financially or physically capable of managing without multiple nervous breakdowns. lol
The problem at the time was storing data in each geometry but I think that’s teh difference between indexes and content, and that we should view geometric search engines as indexes of n-dimensional relations.
If you have some vague understanding of what I’m saying here, this is why I understood that (a) actions, and (b) vitruvian semantics, grammar and syntax (metaphysics, and (c) Property in toto, provided computational commensurability in an unclosed data store.
Why? Because for humans to understand anything it must be reduced to an analogy to experience, and as such human perception limits serve as a set of units of measure of all of reality.
