Date: 2013-10-16 01:54 pm (UTC)Оно и так на пределе работоспособности, а со всеми этими примочками будет скорее ММГ.
А приклад хотелось бы разве что в стиле выдвижных от ХК, так как увеличивать толщину в сложенном виде совсем не охота.

Date: 2013-10-16 12:09 pm (UTC)The USAF awarded a contract to Colt for the construction of four Individual Multi-Purpose Weapons (IMP), as a proposed air crew survival weapon. The original goals for the weapon are a "lethal" range of 100 meters, a weight of less than 1.5 pounds, a maximum length under 13," and a minimum magazine capacity of 7 rounds. Dale M. Davis of the USAF's Armament Laboratory (Elgin AFB) is responsible the stockless bullpup design which others dub an "arm gun." The best known examples of the GUU-4/P IMP are the technology demonstrators chambered in .221 Remington Fireball. However, experimental models are constructed in a couple of .30 caliber wildcats for suppressed use. These cartridges are based upon a slightly shortened .30 Carbine case and a shortened .221 Fireball case respectively (sort of a stubby forerunner to J.D. Jones' later Whisper experiments).
The Bushmaster arm pistol was developed and manufactured by Gwinn firearms, Bangor Maine. It was a direct result of the IMP prototypes made by Dale Davis. Mack W. Gwinn Jr. was totally responsible for the development and production of this weapon. His father Mack Gwinn sr. was on board from the get go as adviser and management consultant.
There was also discussion of building different models in Frankford Arsenal's 4.32x45mm micro-caliber cartridge (.17 Remington), 7.62x51mm, and 5.56x45mm. (The latter idea is developed and marketed commercially years later by Mack Gwinn Sr. and Mack Gwinn Jr. as the Bushmaster pistol.)
