Fun AR-15 lower art.  I wonder if he’s throwing the rifle away because it’s jammed.  Elite Team Fighters don’t panic though, no BS.  More here.

GunPundit pointing out that the short barreled M249 seems to be becoming more common.  Also pointing out that it would appear the Iraqi Army is starting to sport the M16, which they decided to adopt earlier in the year.

I’m guessing the Iraqis are getting a real deal on surplus M16s, since our own military can’t surplus them to the civilian market thanks to Congressman William Hughes, and the National Firearms Act.  As Gun Pundit points out, the US Marines have stuck with the M16 over the M4.  I think this is a smart move, as the 5.56x45mm gets much better velocity out of a 20″ barrel than out of at 14.5″ barrel.  The bullet, having low mass, is going to be entirely dependent on velocity to damage the enemy, so with any SCHV (Small Caliber High Velocity) round, cutting the barrel will hurt you more than in conventional calibers.

Over at Traction Control.

I saw this at the NRA Exhibit hall in Louisville.  It’s a Mark II, Mark III quick change barrel system.  You can swap out barrels in about 2 seconds with this.  Want a 4″ barrels instead of a six inch?  No problem.  Want a suppressed 3 inch barrel?  No problem.  Might be handy if you do multiple shooting disciplines.

Uncle has the pics up.  I was with him when the pictures were taken, and I love the design.  I’d like to be able to shoot one, but the MSRP initially will be a bit steep for me.  If they can get it down to 1600, I might consider it.  This is a very interesting design.

Eyeblast.tv has some pretty decent video of the Kriss Super V .45 Caliber Carbine from the floor of the exhibit hall at the NRA Annual Meeting.  I was one of the first bloggers to cover the Kriss when it debuted at SHOT last year.

I stopped by TDI’s booth to ask whether they had any plans for a semi-auto SBR version of the Kriss, and they indicated that they did. I will definitely go through the NFA dance to get one of those if it becomes available. Obviously, I’d prefer to have the submachine gun version of it, but thanks to Congressman William Hughes, who deserves a special place in Hell for denying me advanced weapons technology, it’s only available to the military and law enforcement.

UPDATE: Robb informs me that it’s his video.  I hadn’t realized that.  Truth be told, I’m still getting caught up on blogs and haven’t gotten completely caught up yet.  I also agree with the people who poo poo pistol caliber carbines.  I own one, and I don’t see much of a reason to get another.  But I wouldn’t mind a semi-auto SBR in a pistol caliber that I could shoot indoors.

Drooling over guns I’d have to sell a car to afford.

If all that is from this guy’s personal collection, you can consider me officially jealous.
