Let's talk about the OICW.

What about it? People shit on it because it was huge, but they forget that it was pretty flush and practical by the end of its life cycle. Combi-guns are a stupid clunky idea to start with and it would never have been that great with only a 20mm launcher, but Id have been curious to know just how small and handy they could have gotten it with 2017 electronics and design approaches.

Looks like something a mobile suit would wield in Gundam.

That must but it, because it looks way too fuckhuge to issue to infantry.

Government reveals secret mobile suit research when?

It is finally dead. It took "just" 25 year to recognize it is violates laws of war when anyone who can read could see it straight from the beginning. Stupidity of US military industrial complex is unbelievable.

>It is finally dead.
But its not you tard. The army cancelled thier contract with Orbtial ATK because they were being letiguois little shits, the contract with H&K persists.
>It took "just" 25 year to recognize it is violates laws of war when anyone who can read could see it straight from the beginning.
Wtf is this absurd bullshit. Its a grenade launcher, no laws are breached.

>The filing said Heckler & Koch had queried whether the weapons, which target enemies protected by walls or hidden in hard-to-reach places, would violate international laws of war.
>The filing also said that after receiving legal opinions, Heckler & Koch had said it would only supply the weapons if the U.S. government provided a special certification, which the government refused to do. Informal mediation failed, and Heckler & Koch refused to engage in formal mediation, the filing stated.
Burger war criminals BTFO. The LAW is the LAW.

I guess every army that employs artillery and PGMs are now war criminals

Europoors, everybody!

This why Euros can't win wars anymore.

They queried
That means asked, not stated

Cite the specific rules you imagine OICW would break then supply evidence it breaks them.

Then you don't know what you are talking about and are just shitposting. HK are from Germany which is completely leftist so of course they are scared.

>>34073786
there's a comma between light level and detonation

>>34073796
There will be a reason. I suspect H&K are hoping the military will just give them a juicier contract in exchange for shutting the fuck up about this, or something to that effect.

This is one of the last known prototypes

Yeah, there was still plenty of room for further streamlining, even with 2005 technology.

>>34073945
any chance for a left handed version?

A solution desperately in search of a problem.

Nobody needs a magazine-fed 20mm grenade launcher that's 4x the size of their rifle.
>>34072114
>Id have been curious to know just how small and handy they could have gotten it with 2017 electronics and design approaches.

The real limitation is the fact that it's a magazine-fed 20mm grenade launcher. You can only make it so small because the components and space needed to fire and cycle 20mm grenades is massive.

Even the sight can only be made so small; go look at the XM25, basically a slightly larger version of the grenade part of the OICW. Massive sight, and it was developed in the late 00's.

>>34073976
>being this clueless

I feel like they should've gotten some field tests using converted M203s before ever going ham with the semi auto combo gun. Then at least we'd know how well 20mm/25mm airbust actually works on targets

>>34074584

Dude...the OICW was in development for over two decades.

I assure you that they did some fucking tests.
