2 million dollars edgy looking rifle that shoots bullets

>>33162378
Overpriced and broken at release. It will need expensive and proprietary replacement parts to function as intended.

People who buy it will defend it to the death online despite not getting paid for their shilling.

AR15 pattern rifle in some new special snowflake caliber. has a proprietary rail sstem that only takes accessories made by select contractors in europe. the accesssories are going to be ready 10 years after the rifle.

It was. Just because you dislike the socio-political commentary doesnt make it bad.

>>
>>33162378
now give me ten million dollars. each
>>
>>33162378
Promised features include guaranteed 1/2 MOA performance with any ammunition, quick change barrels with guaranteed return to zero, M-LOK handguard, factory match trigger, all gucci furniture, and a blowjob from their hottest sales rep. MSRP $400.

Wait... we won the contract? per unit MSRP is now $19,999 because of this new stealth coating we added and we can't deliver any of the features we promised before. The first rifles will ship in 2025.

Lots of aluminum, maybe some carbon fiber. All the internals are rapped in a smooth, low drag shell with small rounded windows that allow you to see inside.
Also, the China steals the plans and builds a prototype before it's complete.
>>
>>33163536
The G11 did work. Even the cookoff issue was solved. A combination of the economic cost of reintegrating eastern Germany and the collapse of the Soviet Union were what killed it. By all accounts the final production prototypes worked flawlessly.

No welds or rivets. Assembled with clickbond to reduce weight.

That brown people will overpopulate and destroy the world?

I wonder just how badly Lockheed Martin's reputation has been tarnished by its bungled development the west's new plane. They took and are taking so long to make it that the west has completely lost its air superiority advantage over the east.
>>
>>33169578
>implying anything is wrong with the F35
lol
>>
>It costs $400,000 to fire this weapon for 12 seconds
>>
A $7000 AR-15
>>
>>33162416
Behind schedule
>>
The gun itself would be fairly good, but it'll take forever and a day to ship and cost more than it should.


In the end it will create a fundementally good weapon, which is hated anyway

Face it, anon, Lockheed will still be around long after you're gone no matter how hard you fuck up.

This
>>33169518
Also this...

Integrally-suppressed, fixed electric illuminated optic, electric trigger group including solenoid-driven striker and "more firing modes than any other infantry weapon," maybe an internal magazine just because... they'll have some fancy snowflake term for each feature for the sake of marketing, as well as some buzzword such as "feature-fusion" to describe the design philosophy overall.

Also Boeing, Northrop and Pratt & Whitney bitch to the government about losing the contract, so the government decides subcontract out various parts to nine different factories between all four companies spread across seven electoral districts and Canada. And then suffer budget overruns and an 18-month delay after realizing the separately-manufactured parts don't actually fit together in final assembly.
>>
>>33167666
>>33167666
this is purely hypothetical, but are there any chances I can find one on any kind of market or do I have to break into a museum to get my hands on some German Space Magick?
>>
>>33170052
Pretty much would have to break into a museum or a collection of legendary size.

If you want to see one, you can use the design submitted to the patents office to 3d print the shell.
>>
>>33170108
fair enough, too bad nobody wants to try and do the same kind of crazy shit on a commercial level nowadays
>>
>>33162378
It costs $300M per unit, but don't worry, that cost is sure to drop with further orders.
Your order will be fulfilled in 20-25 years, at which time it will not be fully operational and will require software packages to attain full serviceability.

And decides that the ammunition costs too much so troops are walking around with railguns without any munitions.
>>
An overpriced AR.

What the fuck do you think
Ever looked at the state of the small arms industry lately?
>>
>>33162480
But what does the red button do?
>>
>>33162391
Also "man-portable" at 55 pounds. That is without the battery pack, which costs 3 times the price of the gun.
>>
>>33164002
You missed the entire point of the movie. The real social-commentary is that open borders and unrestricted immigration will turn first-world countries into Mumbai-tier mega-slums.
>>
>>33162378
I'd don't know but if they start working on one now it might be ready by 2025. Its features will be that it has a built in wi-fi hotspot, be five times over budget, and not be able to fire rounds that have been left out in the sun for more than a half hour.

I was going to post a pic of that gun from Beverly Hills Cop 3 but I am lazy and am on my phone.

>Electric trigger and action for guaranteed electrical problems
>No room for internal battery
>Holographic sight mounted on helmet but not linked to the rifle, basically pointing at the same spot all the time
>Caseless ammunition for maximized unreliability
>Full polymer construction for inevitable stress fractures
>Barrel is also polymer
>Barrel has a cooling unit that prevents it from melting
>Barrel has to be replaced after 90 rounds
>Point of impact shifts as the rifle gets hot
>Stealth
>Magazine well has an electrically actuated door due to stealth
>Safety is engaged by pulling the trigger half way
>Safety is disengaged by pulling the charging handle to make the rifle intuitive to operate for soldiers accustomed to video game guns
>Single shot, burst or fully automatic is selected using an iPhone app
>Can't be field stripped
