What were the Swiss thinking when they made this rifle?

They were busy counting gold. Who cares?

>Swiss

>>32301937
It went bang bang, right? Just ugly as sin

>>32301937
they wanted to have prebuilt sci fi props that could double as battle rifle if needed

>>32301937
"20 rounds of rifle ammunition from a detachable box magazine. Lightweight, comfortable to shoot, has a carrying handle; Patton and his M1 can get fucked. This is the future of firepower."
And desu they were right.

It's Sweden, what do you expect?

I don't know but I want an AMT with the big glove trigger. Something about these guns gets me hot and bothered.

Don't mix up your S's.
Swiss have good guns.
Swedish have good sheds.

>>32301937
That tiny carry handle is adorable.

What is up with those sights? I see the regular flip up front still on. They look like some mountainjew diopter wizardry.

Swedish guns are pretty damn good, too.

>>32302183
Target diopter sights.

The normal Stgw 57 sights are a bit hard to use because you have to see two "bananas" in order to accurately place the properly sight them.

With the diopter you just need to see the circle surrounding the tunnel on front.

>>32301937
Ugliest rifle I've ever seen.

you can get parts kits of those for $700 from apex, but nobody makes 922r parts and receivers. Feels VERY bad, man.

>>32304340
Make your own.

idk i like how it looks

"How can we make a 7.5 Swiss battle rifle that actually is kind of usable in full auto?"

It's heavy as fuck to handle the recoil of full auto, as well as an in-line recoil stock and integral bipod to help with accuracy and recoil control when prone. Flapper-locked delayed blowback to be as reliable as a G3 but with more accuracy because the flappers improve lock-up consistency compared to rollers.

Beer keg charging handle for familiarity with the K31. Winter trigger because it's Switzerland.

>>32301937
It's a rifle for grandpas at competitions. Good luck finding anyone under 50 with one of those.

>>32305859
It's roller locked though

>>32301937
Ys pretty shit in battlefield hardline

>>32302979

Thinks that H&K invented roller-locking system...

What is MG 42...

>>32301937
thats so fucking stupid, I want 3 of them

what's with the charging handle ?
combined with the stock it reminds me of an mg42

>>32309260
The pseudo flappers exist entirely to get around HK patents on roller-delayed blowback.

>>32309626
The charging handle looks comfy.

>Caring about 922r.
Buy a punch that says "Made in USA" if you're so worried.

>>32304340
922r... Well if it works for you the swiss goverment always intended a sporting use for their standard service rifles.

>>32308865
It's not quite a roller. The design is kind of like the PSG1 with something that looks more like a flapper instead of a roller.

>>32313415
Nice. Is that your personal Stg57? How accurate is it?

>>32313630
Not personal. Its pretty accurate in trained hands (not me yet) but I manage an average of 8.5. The guy selling it recieved it brand new, kept it in good condition and only shot OP.

>>32301937
It looks like something my 6 year old would make out of legos but I'll be damned if that isn't one functional rifle.

>>32313680
Match shooters often have the mental capability of a 6 year old and the fudd lore of Metusalem.
