Indeed... looks like a nice toy, but M16s were never intended for the sustained fire or even burst fire roles... it's kind of an after though... I wouldn't rely on it.
Yeah. It's cool for the intent of this video, but as an actual weapon, I would doubt it's purpose. It wouldn't have the accuracy of the rifle, and could definitely not replace the C9 from it's LMG role. There is no support, so the ONLY thing I can think of for using it as, is a room clearing weapon, but that still pales in comparison with the C9, C7 on automatic and a 12 gauge. Still cool, though.
I'll take one. Looks like it still takes a normal mag, And if something bad ever happened to your C9, anyman could still lay down the same amount of fire they just lost. Not that it is sustainable without the changeable barrel, but if it gets you out of hot water, I couldn't give a crap if the rifle turned into a daisy after the trouble ended. Oh well, it gets my vote as a pretty fancy firearm.
That's not a quick change barrel. It's just removable... note that there's no carry handle, to remove or attach it, you have to grasp the barrel itself, after firing a belt of 200 rounds, the barrel would be extremely hot...
Hey, that looks kinda cool- a belt/mag fed upper for the Ar15 lower. Nifty. Not sure if it's ever gonna see much real operational use, but then again I suppose it's another way to lighten the C9 and make life a bit easier on the armourers and logistics train. And of course, since it seems capable of having rail interface handguards, imagine one of THESE with an M203. You'd have your ultimate support system. Not that I expect it would be used as suhc, but it's a neat though.
I suppose this piece of gear has potential; I'm sure someone somewhere will pick it up for a special forces team or whatnot if it proves reliable.
Actually it's an insert that goes into the mag well and clicks in like a normal mag. On the bottom of the insert is a bracket like the one on the C9. You can jsut hit the mag release any time and slap in a mag if need be.
