Surprising Gun Fact #10: (Birthday Edition)
The Hecker and Koch 416 AKA the HK416 is an assault rifle who's roots is traced to the M4, you can already tell it by it's appearance. The German company collaborated with the famed US 1st Special Operations Unit Detachment Delta or Delta force for it's development. The later wanting a more robust and reliable firearm than the standard M4.
Surprising Gun Fact #9: The M82 .50 Caliber Anti Material Rifle by Barrett has special rounds called SLAP rounds or Saboted Light Armor Penetrator. It basically functions the same way a APFSDS shell would in a tank. It is also available in a wide range of calibers from 5.56, 7.62, 30-06, 30-30, and even 9 x 19mm
What a big GUN. Yep big juicy gun.

Guns shooting.
SFW. Nothing gruesome.
Even satisfying/cartoonish-funny despite slightly grim.
Surprising Gun Fact #8: People in media and also normal people call whatever is the propellant for the cartridges as "Gunpowder". While technically true, if you lived back in 19th century, anyone with knowledge on firearms would say that modern cartridges use a mixture called smokeless powder.
Surprising Gun Fact #7: Mikhail Kalashnikov, the creator of the AK-47, loved his invention but regretted its widespread use by terrorists and insurgents. He designed it to protect the motherland, not to become a symbol of violence and suffering. He said, "I created a weapon to defend the Motherland’s borders, and it’s not my fault that it was sometimes used where it shouldn’t have been."
*chomp*
Interesting Gun Facts #6: The 1960s saw a lot of advances in firearms design. One of which straight up sounded Sci Fi. The Gyrojet is an interesting little pistol that does not use your standard propellant. The bullets themselves have small rockets that twist and propel the bullet to it's target.
Quite Literally the waaayyy smaller version of the Bolter from WH40K
Surprising Gun Fact #5: The AR in AR-15 actually stands for ArmaLite Rifle, and not Assault Rifle.
Contrary to what CNN, Biden and the ATF tells you. A Barret M82, RPG-7, and SCAR-H are NOT AR-15s…
Surprising Gun Fact #4: (This one is for @Simple_Russian_Boi)
While the StG 44 influenced modern assault rifles, the AK-47's design, by Mikhail Kalashnikov, drew from multiple sources. It adopted the select-fire option from the StG 44 but shares the M1 Garand's rotating bolt mechanism, ruggedness, durability, and long-stroke gas-operated piston.
nya.... (tired-hug with pixy)
Surprising Gun Fact 3: Determining the cyclic rate of the MG 42 and its successors is like trying to find out how many workers died building the Great Wall.
Guten Tag ...
Surprising Gun Fact #2: The MG3 of the german bundeswehr is literally the same as the MG42 used in ww2. The only difference is the MG3 has a lower firerate (1100 compared to 1300 rounds) and the MG3 chambers the standardized 7.62 x 51mm NATO round compared to the 9mm Mauser the MG42 used. MG3 is basically the Nerfed version of the MG42.
