This "Bullpup" conversion was released back in 1984 by Armament Research Corp to convert HK91 rifles into compact carbines. However it found poor sales due to ergonomic concerns.

Does anyone know about this automatic rifle?, This is the only image of it i have seen so far and seems to have some parts missing. I believe it was under the Paratroop Rifle trials prior to adopting the FG42. http://www.rediscov.com/VFPCGI.exe?IDCFile=/spring/DETAILS.IDC,SPECIFIC=16555,DATABASE=66572468

I know of 'F-19' models being released to the public during the Cold War to distract communist spy rings from the F-117 Nighthawk as it was being developed, But i was thinking would the "F-19A Specter" aircraft design be feasible for a Jet Fighter?

That movie is pure sick!, I love it! It reminds me of the 1980 movie 'The Final Countdown' when F-14 Tomcats fight Japanese Zero planes. I found an image of an AH-1 Cobra flying around 1549 Feudal Japan:-D http://www.lovehkfilm.com/panasia/samurai_commando_1549.htm

Below are some links of proposed ultra sized land dominating tanks of the third reich, which would have used Battleship turrets and U-Boat engines. Other than that, they would be able to literally flatten cities in no time http://strangevehicles.greyfalcon.us/Landkreuzer%20P1000%20Ratte.htm http://www.vincelewis.net/ultratank.html If anything, they remind me of the 'Megaforce' toys i played with when i was a kid:-D: http://www.toyarchive.com/Megaforce/Megaforce.html

The XR311 was made by FMC but the Teledyne model was ok though. The Lamborghini Cheetah was supposed to be a 'rip off' of the XR311 but had a rear passener section and was made from fibreglass. Only one was made and it crashed by accident during the US Army vehicle trials. As for the contaminated website, Here are some images i salvaged from it: http://img161.imageshack.us/img161/6981/fmc1li8.jpg http://img110.imageshack.us/img110/2905/fmc2xv6.jpg http://img110.imageshack.us/img110/4909/fmc3zh5.jpg http://img110.imageshack.us/img110/5725/fmc4sm3.jpg http://img113.imageshack.us/img113/7476/fmc5ds7.jpg http://img113.imageshack.us/img113/2185/fmc6th5.jpg http://img113.imageshack.us/img113/8969/fmc7bp8.jpg http://img110.imageshack.us/img110/7083/fmc8va7.jpg http://img161.imageshack.us/img161/8099/fmc9iy7.jpg http://img110.imageshack.us/img110/2289/fmc10oz1.jpg And some images of it before/after pimping up: http://img161.imageshack.us/img161/8558/fmc11bo6.jpg http://img161.imageshack.us/img161/9064/fmc12br9.jpg http://img161.imageshack.us/img161/3289/fmc13nv8.jpg http://img113.imageshack.us/img113/6973/fmc14jd1.jpg http://img110.imageshack.us/img110/1967/fmc15dz4.jpg http://img161.imageshack.us/img161/7823/fmc16xj3.jpg

Welcome aboard to the HMVF Forums!, and hope you enjoy your stay!

Yo Wassup! Im new here and wanna say hello to all HMVF Forum users from the United Kingdom! Not to forget, Im also one of the moderators at www.themilitaryforums.com.

I know its a Belgian vehicle rather than German but i wasnt sure where to post it. Has anyone here ever came across one of these Trikes before?. It was issued to Belgian ParaCommandos and saw service during the Congo era. http://www.maxmatic.com/threes/fnas24.htm http://www.3wheelers.com/fnas24.html

The XR311 "GI HotRod" was one of the origins of the Hummer used today by the US Military. Personally, i find the design of it feasible even today and thought somthing heavily based on it could be a cheap solution for Foreign Militaries who want somthing less expensive to run etc or even a variant for the civillian market. A 'Schwimwagen' variant of it could be manufactured for the likes of the Marines.

Now here is somthing cool to show all users Man-portable nordenfelt gun of the Soviet era that apparently provided 'near minigun' performance by combining the ROF but to be suitable for a soldier to handle. It uses the 7.62x39 round but the ammo supply was limited as the weapon is magazine fed. The Pribor 3B still worked but was also quite hard to control due to the recoil force, Cartridge ejection is downwards BEHIND the magazine area as the weapon uses a gas/recoil operaton similar to that used in the AN94 Abakan assault rifle currently used by Russian special forces. Another variant of the Pribor-3B was made from AKM smilar parts to ease production. The Pribor-3B would be more practical as a tripod mounted machine gun if its possible to make a belt feed device for it.
