What’s the reasoning behind the choices? I can’t understand it at all unless its just supposed to represent random rifles. What is it representing (because it certainly isn’t the evolution of war rifles)?
Hmm. Not really sure. I haven’t had an interest or played with firearms in about 4 years. That said, the trends I can pull from this infographic follow. Not much to be done with a basic tool, but I’ll give it a shot (in sequence of the weapons included):
Accuracy boost.
Mass production (decreasing costs).
Speed boost.
Accuracy + Speed boost.
Accuracy + Ruggedness x 2.
Accuracy + Ruggedness x 3.
Speed boost.
Speed boost x 2.
Speed hits upper limit with the M14.
Accuracy boost.
Accuracy boost x2.
The SCAR is dealing with the limitations of human-held weaponry lots of add-ons to augment human capabilities.
Also, there’s a capacity increase trendline that is a function of speed.
I don’t understand. You decided it was important enough to create this picture, writing out all these “facts” for it and everything, but it shouldn’t be taken seriously?
Dude, if you’re going to publish something touted as fact, you should make the minimal effort to make sure that it’s actually factual. It would take half an hour on wikipedia, probably less, to fix this.
Also the G41 was basically a design stolen from the Russian SVT-40 and made shittier.
And really you want the Mauser G98, not the M1903. The 1903 is based on the Mauser action, which is essentially the father of all modern bolt action rifles.
This is insane. You make an incredibly incorrect series of facts, give the wrong pictures for guns and have stupid choices. After people call you out on this, you claim troll.

The M1 Garand is a mistake. That’s a picture of an SKS

Please, Please, do your research and proof read something, like this before you publish it.
If you don’t know what mistakes you made after re-reading it, you should never have made it in the first place.

You dumb fucknuckles. It’s a fucking SKS, Are you motherfucking retarded, Son ?

The first smoothbore flintlock muskets appeared in the early 1600s. The Land Pattern aka Brown Bess was first issued in 1722. C’mon man. Research.

W-what is this..? I-i don’t even…?
This is all wrong.

Why is there a sporterized hunting rifle in place of the Springfield M1903A3?
Apr 23, 2011
Damn near everything about this is wrong. One should not speak upon that which one does not know.

Poor kids. Try to find something useful to be taken seriously on.
Apr 23, 2011
Well you DID do a piss poor job on the information and didn’t even get the right picture for some of them.

Seriously though, the utter lack of research and effort put into this endeavour is appalling.

I bought one of those Garrands yesterday, but it didnt have the knife on it. $800 seemed like alot, but after seeing this I guess its good.

LOL. I didn’t make this, and have no strong feelings towards it one way or the other.
