Does that magazine look like it holds pistol rounds to you? Look how wide that thing is

Here's a render from Reddit



Again, how is that round even chambered? I'd like a bit of authenticity in my fiction, especially concerning modern-like weapon design. This wouldn't be a problem if it was loaded like a regular bull-pup

I don't understand how they couldn't be chambered. You can even see a hole for the bullets on the cartridge. Do you need a vision test or something? Bi-directional springs and/or a vacuum/air pressure/gas operated system.

Wow, well the gun did look cool... until that magazine location.
Hopefully they just rotate that bad boy to fit the magazine style of a bullpup and not a look like a red headed gun stepchild.

I really do hope we get more Bullpup styled guns though, big fan of that particular look.

Re: Nanite Systems SMG Work w/Arclegger


This thread kinda reminds me of something. We lament over the fact the weapons models and ballistics characteristics differ only slightly with each new gun we see and yet when we get something "off the wall" like the flare gun we think it is too outside the box. Well with such low TTK and limited amount of options, conventional type weapons are about to run their course. Maybe Clegg and crew would appreciate some ideas for future weapons to keep pushing the envelope forward? I'll have to start thinking along these lines myself but maybe others could pitch in. Maybe a new thread Hamma?

Top feed does not mean it cant chamber a round.

It might be uncomfortable to shoot or aim but I dont see a function issue.

The curved magazine definitely feels clumsy and makes zero sense, sci-fi or not.

As for loading the rounds however, they could be pulled into the chamber magnetically or in some other way. There certainly is no way for the bolt to cycle over the magazine like a conventional weapon.

I'm not a big fan on this particular issue, its true, but I like the general look of the weapon otherwise. Plus its a bullpup, this game needs moar!!!
