[TempesT]

I'd blame the chicken wing Bring that elbow down a bit. Square with your target. Oh, and take the safety off.

Oh dayum.

[anglomanii]

got a little bit more info on F88's. i am only hearing about this now so i dont actually know how long this programe has been active. no more than twelve months though because it wasnt in 2008/2009 buget papers.
thales has given the ADF a few intergrated hand control communication units to trial for use on the F88.(the yanks and Brits got some aswell) The unit replaces the foreward hand grip with a multi touch control unit. this inables use of GPS, radio, and visual assistance units, with out releasing or having to adjust your grip on your weapon.
this looks like a step towards the possible use of VIKING II digital optical devices, that were trialed in 2005. the VIKING II(or DIOSII*) supposedly this unit combines a digitally enhanced optical camera/sighting system, a laser rangefinder, infered and light intensification capabilities, as well as IFF capabilities, compass,GPS, comunication and tactical mapping technology in a insight picture HUD like system. all of this looks like spin offs from the Advanced Land Warfare Programe.

*DIOSII is the acronym used in the material i was reading i understand it to refer to Digital Intergrated Optical System II. however other more ambiguous referances where made to C4SIR and OSRE of which no explanation was made. (if anyone knows what this refers to please let me know.)

once again this is only in testing phases so no intergration is expected for many years yet, so your safe ok tonnie, i figure you'd love to read all the above and be thinking oh **** he's done it again and now i have to change that bloody gun again. but no not yet mate, no not yet , any way why would i bother doing that when i just got some awesome leads on the DFSW project, so you never know all these problems we(you) have had with the Gus and the LAW (trying to get the right mix) might not matter because from one of the things i have heard is they are looking at replacing the whole lot, but i haven't had any confirmation on that yet other then that a variant of the SMAW is officially in contention, and a new improved version of the Gus is supposedly being tooled up to compete as well. so really with things like that on the horizon why would i bother messing you around on the F88, i mean i couldn't possibly be that mean.......could I?

[[MPN]Slouch2]

anglo that stuff is a very, very long way from being issued- the development cycle for that has at least another 5 years to run.

[anglomanii]

Shhh... you'll tip him off.
remember you need to read the WHOLE post, not just the first bit...




geez talk about failing the ambush.........

[RHYS4190]

I just thought I would add, I don't know how different the iron sights would be on a F88 (if they exist) but when firing this AK at around 40-50 meters at orange clay pigeons set up on a mound of dirt, it was extremely hard to get an accurate shot...

You could practically take a bite out of that chicken wing. if you want practice you know you don't need a license to fire a gun in Australia, you can just go to your local firing range and fill out a forum and then they will let you shot as a guest using club owned rifles.

And you will probably never have to get a licence.

Well that was taken after he took the one from the front of the barrel (a bit offset) so there wasn't any way I'd be holding a gun pointed at my brother with the safety off

[Tonnie]

[I_am_a_Spoon]

Tonnie;654085']Things To Add to F88's
- Strap Rings
- Nut On barrel
- Cocking handle hole (The hole the cocking handle slides up and down)

I will be lowering the tris on the sight tonight...
Ok still trying to work on the smoothing groups on the pistol grip but yer...

Hate to be nitpicky, but the pic has "Defense" spelt wrongly. That's American spelling. In Australia it's "Defence".

Sorry...

If you hit Q while reloading, do you shout catchwords?

[anglomanii]

Hey Guys.
I've been asked to help task in the final re-texture of the F88.
Not sure if a New Variant will be modeled or not.
Anyway

THESE ARE WIP. Only up for Color Schemes.

What looks better? 1 or 2??

1

2

[Gunner4712]

I like 2 based on that 1 looks too gray to me. imo

[BloodBane611]

I agree with gunner, my vote is for 2.
