about 880m/s using Federal 69-gr. Match, in my STG556e4(16in bbl), i dont know how much that would help because its not exactly the F88

see here.

f1 65gr ball is virtually the same as any other 556 round. it just holds together better at higher temps.

the 77gr round being tested for the EF88dmr is a different story.

specs as of my knowledge 2010. EFY

Thales Australia?s 5.56 mm F1 ball ammunition
meets the essential design parameters of the
NATO STANAG 4172. It can be used in all 5.56
calibre NATO weapons and is comparable to
other in-service natures such as the FN SS109
and US M855 ball cartridges. The projectile
comprises of a hardened penetrator and a lead
slug enclosed in a gilding metal jacket.

Length of complete round 57.4mm (Max)
Projectile weight 4.0g
Projectile velocity (V24) 915 + 10 m/s
Chamber pressure Kistler 6215 transducer < 405 MPa (Avg)
Accuracy Avg Std Dev < 100mm in both horizontal and vertical planes @ 300 m
Action time 0.003 s (Max)
Propellant Type Single base solvent propellant
Temperature range -54?C to 80

Special features
Our 5.56 mm F1 ball ammunition is
manufactured at Thales Australia?s
Benalla munitions facility and is
currently in use with the Australian
Defence Force (ADF) in the Austeyr
individual weapon and F89 Minimi light
support weapon.
Thales Australia?s 5.56 mm F1 ball
ammunition employs a specifically
designed single base propellant with
very low temperature coefficient of
ballistics to ensure velocities and
pressures remain consistent within
variations in ammunition temperature
and altitudes.
The propellant has extreme clean
burning characteristics and is an
excellent replacement for those
propellants that exhibit weapon fouling

more of a tease then an update

consider me teased.

LOVE them

Looking good from afar. Now give us some close-ups

all in given time mate

Looks sick mate, as per usual

looks like you aussies use an unreasonable amount of scopes

why do i love this gun so much?

considering how many different systems the ADF actually use, this is really very discreet, not included are any of the thermal and NV systems or any of the "user modifications" sometimes seen amongst those non conformists from recon and pioneer units.

you have no idea what these clowns do with their rifles.

Yeah, this gun is sexified further by the work and unwaivering craftsmanship of all contributing parties.

And with this post, I claim my rightful place among those ranks.

Tonnie, you truly make me proud to be playing a game that is over 6 years old. If I ever go down under
neath the worlds skirt I will certainly buy you a drink.

That is unless Chuc gets jealous and beats with with his chin-fist.

Do you happen to have a link or a pic to one of those "non-conformist" designs?
A short google search didn't show up anything more custom than Tonnie's masterpieces.

I'll give a few examples:

• Idiotic optics (See RAAF Airfield Defense Guards putting high powered rifle scopes on short-barreled F88's)
• The tacticool mag near the ejection port
• And I can't find it, but a CO taping DPCU scraps to his rifle including over the barrel.

well, contrary belives a long barrel mostly improoves the bullets kinetic energy and not its accuracy

That guy is Darren Hoare, who was killed in Baghdad in 2009 while working with a PMC. He was killed by fellow team member Daniel Fitzsimons. He was a stud of the highest order.

maybe he uses the scope becouse he has a greater fov with it... and use it withoud magnification..

this would make sense i think..sry for my bad english..

'[R-DEV wrote: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...

This s nice,
I thought that Australian faction would be not so interesting,
but they use Stery Aug as a main rifle .
Great !

Not so interesting? you haven't really done your research have you? :\ check out some Australian military history and come back after.
