There's little doubt in my mind that the person who designed this was actually autistic.

>>34719888
Probably not, it's just over engineered like basically everything else the krauts make

>>34719925
>over engineered
Why is that bad?

>>34719837
What in the fuck could all that shit possibly be doing?

I feel like you could get a passable caseless platform without much more complication than a Kalashnikov.

Was it some sort of west German "make work" program? I know their economy was sputtering along at that point.

>>34719941
More parts to break down I gues

>>34719950
Because 3 round burst with the recoil only being felt at the third round

>>34720002
Amazing

>>34720023
Oh, and it's at a 2100 round per minute rate too.

>>34719950
All that complication is mostly for the 3-round hyperburst where it fires 3 rounds at like 2100 rpm. Same idea as the an-94 except with one more round and it's caseless and it doesn't use a fucking pulley.

The idea around that time period was that that soldiers weren't good shots and wasted ammo on full blast, so they really just need something like a 300 yard shotgun. Hence shit like project SALVO, burst cams, and the g11.

Funfact: they corrected their shots by reading the press about where the shells landed and correcting accordingly.

Once the French got wind of that, they started to give misdirections so that the shots landed somewhere less populated.

>>34721343

So, anywhere it landed?

You do realize that it's the US military that made the requirements, yes?

We didn't. The interim solution simply became the permanent solution without any conclusion or even reference to the problem. It still exists.

Yeah, but it wasn't developed by the US.

>>34723717

There never were any goalposts. I made an observation.
Who's the autist, the guy who says the weapon must fulfil certain requirements, without regard to physical realities and that some of them contradict each other? Or the guy who just does the job of adhering to said requirements to the best of his abilities in the hopes of making money?

Usually overengineering means that the extra effort put into a design doesn't add anything. It's like pouring water into a glass for so long that it starts to flood; the glass is already fill, so nothing is being added but water is being wasted. It's not as simple as that but that's the basic idea.

It was a true testament to how awful the fudd culture really is. We were going to get a sick space rifle for the US military but some general that fought in Vietnam went all "muh M16 is the perfect rifle" and called in a bunch of favors to have the rifle update project buried.

Because Heckler & Koch have deep pockets

>Soldiers complained about switching from the simple, more streamlined M203 to one with more sophisticated attachments. Complaints ranged from the forward grip and sighting system, the pistol grip handle catching on things, and the side loading mechanism. They even criticized its ability to act as a stand-alone launcher, a feature included in response to troops re-acquiring Vietnam-era M79 grenade launchers that supposedly gave better accuracy when fired from the shoulder than if slung under a rifle, although the collapsible stock is somewhat short for the task.
