Which would you choose between the Larue OBR, LWRC Repr, or the SCAR-17 for general shtf and hunting purposes?
>>
>>32823814
Out of those three I only own the SCAR and I'm completely happy with it. It's accurate enough (I get about 1 to 1.8 MOA depending on the load when I bench it), it's light for its class, and even without the muzzle brake it manages the recoil very well. It's also the cheapest out of those options.

I'd probably be just as happy with the Repr or an LMT 308 but I've never shot them.

I don't like LWRC as a company. Specifically with the repr they released them with magwells cut too small. The owners have chased off the talent more recently.

The predatobr take down think looks interesting.

SCAR is tits, but it's a one size fits all solution. If that size works for what you want, it's a helluva way to do it.

I own both a SCAR17s and an OBR along with several other 7.62x51 rifles. The SCAR is the best all around 7.62x51 rifle I've ever owned. The OBR is an excellent semi-auto precision rifle, but is much more a niche rifle.

A SCAR isn't an AR. Also for a 7.62 battle rifle it's featerweight. Go pick one up compared to an FAL or CETME and tell me the SCAR is heavy. Yeah a bare bones AR-10 can be as light, but none of the ones actually being used are that stripped.

The more equal and opposite the momentum of the bolt carrier group is to the momentum of the projectile/s and gases out the muzzle, the more proportion of the rearward impulse of the gun against you the spring can reduce, keeping shoulders comfy.
Though with weapons firing from a closed bolt, the forward impulse of the bolt slamming into the shut position at the end of a cycle is unopposed and relevant to keeping the gun steady, so for that reason a faster, lighter bolt can be better at staying on target.

HK MR308
>>
>>32844072
>The more equal and opposite

The force imparted by the projectile and gas leaving the barrel and the bolt carrier group acting against the recoil spring are in the same direction, there is nothing opposite about them. The SCAR is not the AK-107.

Also the recoil spring impulse is a function of the spring weight, not the mass acting against it.

>>32844120
>The force imparted by the projectile and gas leaving the barrel and the bolt carrier group acting against the recoil spring are in the same direction
Pressure works on the piston and bullet, sending the bolt carrier group rearward and the bullet forward. Opposite.

If the bolt carrier group and bullet/gases have equal but opposite momentum after they're done being forced upon, the rest of the gun shouldn't have changed velocity from firing; no recoil for now.

Instead of a bolt carrier group, it could be gases that are given equal and opposite momentum to the projectile and gases going forward, and you could let the gas blast backwards out a tube over your shoulder, giving you a recoilless rifle.

But back to a bolt carrier group, you want those to stop, and doing that is going to push back the rest of the gun, into you. But not all in one sudden slap, thanks to the recoil spring. If your bolt carrier group is heavier while having a certain amount of momentum, it goes slower, which means a suitable recoil spring can push the rest of the gun into you with less force, but for a longer amount of time. More distance for the bolt to travel can also increase the time and thus decrease the force that an appropriate recoil spring will work the gun into you.
>>
>>32844685
>sending the bolt carrier group rearward and the bullet forward. Opposite.

The bullet going forward isn't what causes felt recoil, it is the reaction going the opposite direction (i.e. towards the shooter). Your statement betrays a fundamental misunderstanding of Newton's Third Law.

>no recoil for now

Nope. The reactionary force from the expelled gas has already acted on the shooter at this point (where else could that that force be going)? The advantage of a semi-auto action in recoil reduction is that it has siphoned part of that reactionary force to operate the action.

>Instead of a bolt carrier group, it could be gases that are given equal and opposite momentum to the projectile and gases going forward

And in a recoil-less system the entirety of the reaction force is vented backwards into the air behind the shooter, meaning the shooter is not even part of the system. An irrelevant statement since in this context, the entire point is the issue of felt recoil.

>it goes slower

And it is still heavier, momentum being the product of mass and velocity, so what is your point?

>which means a suitable recoil spring can push the rest of the gun into you with less force

And what prevents the use of a heavier recoil spring with a lighter BCG, which will do the exact same thing with a heavier BCG: spread the force out over more time.

You might want to read about how exactly the AA-12 can behave in that way before posting it again. The key is how much of that reactionary force is siphoned off to operate its action.

>>
>>32844879
>The bullet going forward isn't what causes felt recoil, it is the reaction going the opposite direction
The reaction is a process which I have described sequentially, ending with shooter's felt recoil.

>The reactionary force from the expelled gas has already acted on the shooter at this point (where else could that that force be going)?
The reactionary force from the expelled gas pushes the bullet forward and the gun back. Extremely shortly after that starts, the gas port gets pressure in it, and the reactionary force from the expelled gas also pushes the bolt carrier back and the rest of the gun forward. If the bolt carrier group was sent back with equal and opposite momentum to the bullet, then the rest of the gun would have started and stopped moving. This time is extremely brief, so the distance the gun moves is extremely little, negligible, so there is no human felt recoil with an equal and opposite momentum bolt carrier group/bullet, yet, before the spring's compression.

>An irrelevant statement since in this context, the entire point is the issue of felt recoil.
It's relevant in that it demonstrates what's going on at a certain point in cycling, with the BCG/backblast going rearward, the projectile going forward, and the gun currently going nowhere. It will have the end result of recoiling, but we're not at the end yet.

>>it goes slower
>And it is still heavier, momentum being the product of mass and velocity, so what is your point?
Time. Traveling slower over a distance means the travel takes more time. More time for the spring to work, less force it needs to do it.

>And what prevents the use of a heavier recoil spring with a lighter BCG, which will do the exact same thing with a heavier BCG: spread the force out over more time.
A heavier spring can stop a faster BCG within a given distance, but it takes less time.
A longer spring can stop a faster BGG within a given time, but space is limited within a reciever.

>The reaction is a process which I have described sequentially, ending with shooter's felt recoil.

Your sequence is utterly wrong. Especially the part where you said "no recoil for now".

>If the bolt carrier group was sent back with equal and opposite momentum to the bullet

You mean, the bullet and gas since the two are inseparable in this discussion. And no, this is not what happens in reality, since that would mean 100% of the reaction force is captured by the action. There is no if here.

The reactionary force of the bullet cannot be captured. That reaction is completely translated into felt recoil (and it is not negligible). The reactionary force of expanding gas is what is used to operate the action.

>It's relevant

It isn't because what you describe is not what happens with real semi-automatic rifles. A hypothetical rifle that captures 100% of the reaction force leaving zero recoil when the bullet leaves the barrel would be firing a zero mass bullet, and have no expanding gas leaving the barrel. Literally impossible.

>More time for the spring to work, less force it needs to do it.

Spring force is a function of its compression and its rated weight, not time or mass.

>A heavier spring can stop a faster BCG within a given distance, but it takes less time.

And that same lighter BCG has less energy to impart, so again, what possible comparison can you make here? None whatsoever.

food for thought: energy of 308 ball at the muzzle is over 3kJ and that is 100% felt recoil (unless you can explain how the action is actuated by something other than gas in a fixed barrel system). how is that negligible? this is before any talk of expanding gas, by the way.

A heavier bolt that cycles slowly will take more time to transmit force than a fast bolt. Force over time equals acceleration. More time results in less acceleration. Humans regard high acceleration over short periods to be stronger recoil than acceleration over longer periods. A slower bolt takes more time to depress from the bullet recoil, so that's why the SCAR has softer recoil than say, a bolt action rifle of the same caliber

1. Would go with earlier production Larue OBR when they used LW barrels for semiauto sniping
2. Come SHTF I would favor the SCAR for everyday use from among the choices but I know with optic and loadout I would be putting it up more often and would go back to a lightweight 556 AR.

And yet the force will be applied for a longer period of time... so where does that leave you?

There are two time periods to consider: firstly, the force being applied through the recoil spring while it is being actively compressed to the fixed end (the stock and shooter). This is a function of the spring weight, not the amount of mass pushing it.

The second period is the force/acceleration acting upon the shooter with the spring at full compression (i.e. when the BCG is at its most rearward position). This calculation includes the mass of the entire rifle, the mass of the BCG is irrelevant at this point since the spring is static. The work applied to the rifle is the amount of energy carried by the BCG's residual rearward motion. This is a function of mass and velocity, not just mass.

>so that's why the SCAR has softer recoil than say, a bolt action rifle of the same calibe

No, the SCAR has less felt recoil than a bolt action because part of the reaction force of the expanding gas that would have been fully felt as recoil in a bolt gun has been siphoned off to operate the action. It is the same reason any semi-auto of the same weight and caliber has less felt recoil than a bolt gun. How much less depends on many issues, and I posit the mass of a bolt carrier is of a secondary nature. The primary factor will always be the amount of energy that the action managed to siphon off.

It leaves you with a more manageable recoil, kid. Did you even read my post? You can't comprehend basic physics. You're like that black actor who dropped out of college because he though 1 was equal to zero. He was so sure about it, but he just didn't get it.
>>
>>32854490
Do you understand why a pully is useful?
>>
>>32854576

Already discussed this, the force being acted on the fixed point during spring compression has nothing to do with the mass, but the spring weight. At full compression the mass of the BCG isn't even relevant.

Your post is incorrect garbage. Especially egregiously stupid is the statement regarding why a SCAR has less recoil than a bolt gun because of bolt mass. Are you fucking serious? You have absolutely no clue what you are talking about.
>>
>>32854615

Yes, explain how the concept of mechanical advantage is relevant when the bolt travel of a SCAR is the same as all the other semi-auto rifles.

SCAR. I own a SCAR and OBR, and the OBR weighs a fuck ton and you're not supposed to use steel cased ammo in it. It works well if you're shooting from a bench with a bipod, but for hunting and SHTF the SCAR is much better.

That's nice. Let's see your engineering degree.

>With a lower impulse.

Impulse is change in momentum, which is mass * velocity. A heavier bolt is more mass. So why do you insist the impulse is lower?

>>32856337

Your fundamental ignorance on why a semi-auto gun of any type has less felt recoil than a bolt gun means everything you say on this topic can be discarded.
>>
>>32841141
If it has an adjustable stock and the fixings, seems pretty reasonable to me. Also, the mechanisms seem pretty robust, so you could actually lug it and use it. Granted most of /k/ are a bunch of fat fucks, but they have good knowledge.

I never said I was wealthy. that was merely to prove that SCAR rifles are hardly beyond my reach. the "poor" argument is utterly infantile but i figure i would dispense with that childishness.

Funny. I took the time to respond to arguments I found to be incorrect, and I was met with nothing more than insults. Sad really.

Admittedly, I only have two years of college physics (mandatory for engineering majors) and then one semester each of statics and dynamics (out of academic interest), but really, this is fairly basic stuff.

Definitely the FS2K. It is comfy as fuck.

Tavor has issues with POI shift with handguard pressure.

Au contraire, I think I have a pretty good idea what perceived recoil and impulse is. I have no fucking clue what net recoil is (and by inference, total recoil?). Please elaborate.

Below Serial #HC20000 $2200-2400
Besides wear and tear, these models lack the improved stock latch and the no-rattle stock clip.

2012 you could expect 2700 pre-election. 2600 if you found an exceptional deal/generic % off coupon.

Price increased due to $3000+ post election because of the repeated attempts to pass a new AWB causing panic buying with rare dips to $2900.

You should be able to find one for $2800 if things calm down. $2700 would give some people a semi-erection nowadays.

SHTF like Syria is an extended unconventional war. Real SHTF is usually a long, drawn our process.

Prepare for years, not months. Prepare to participate usefully in a local ad hoc militia, because those form in real SHTF. Ignore all fantasy SHTF and study history.
