OH! I know this one! I use to play a free video game called America's Army. It was a high quality first person shooter game put out by the US Army. They said it was "not" a recruitment tool, but it gives you the virtual experience of training like a soldier and then you get deployed into combat. You can it was a multi-player and it was an AWESOME game. In the game you only get actual firearms that are currently used by the US Army. I was usually the designated sniper and used the M24 bolt rifle in .308win. The bad guys had an assortment. One of which was this rifle.

This is the VSS Vintorez. A Russian special sniper rifle. It was chambered in 9x39mm heavy 9mm cartridge known as the SP-5. It's basically an AK-47 round (7.62x39) but with a 9mm diameter bullet. It's a select fire gas operated rifle. Build loosely off the AK design it had a long stroke gas piston system. Similar to the AR platform, the bolt had six locking lugs, so it secured the gas system just as good. Much like the modern Glock (and most tupperware guns) it utilized a striker fire system.

Following the lines of the HK MP5-SD, this rifle used an integral suppressor. The suppressor is the length of the barrel. The barrel had small ports drilled into the rifling, which allowed the gasses to bleed out as it traveled the length of the barrel, bringing the sound level down dramatically. Externally, it looked much like a AK. It just had a smaller cartridge.

With a heavy bullet that had a hardened steel or tungsten core, the ammo easily penetrated most body armor. Even when traveling at a subsonic speed (less than 1050-fps). This came with either a 10-rnd or a 20-rnd magazine.

A truly awesome rifle that was built in Russia, by the Tula Arsenal and used primarily by the Russian Special Forces (Spetsnaz). It's inception was back in 1987 and is still used today. The side scope mount is an added plus. It allowed the use of mounting a variety of optics, including night vision and thermal. The sights on the rifle can be used even when the optic is installed.

Last year, a group of US gunbuilders attempted to build a US version and market it. With a barrel length of only 11.5" AND being a suppressed rifle, it would fall under NFA restriction and require a double $200 tax stamp. On top of the, the targeted price tag of the rifle ($2,000).

I may have to buy one... yeah, right. Not in my budget for 2014-2015. :)

A modern version called the SR-3 "Vikhr" is also out. Very similar to this rifle, except the suppressor is not integral. It utilizes a shorter barrel that has a threaded flash hider. The long suppressor thread to the flash hider and off you go. Although not as quiet as the VSS, it does offer a more compact gun for normal use, and then a twist-on suppressor for stealth. Yes, that is a folding stock. :)

The above pic is an airsoft shotgun. Here's where it gets fun:

If you own a Mossberg 500, Mossberg 590, or Maverick 88 12ga shotgun:

5461

You can visit Brownells and purchase this kit from Adaptive Tactical and convert your shotgun to accept 5 round magazines or 10 round drums.

5462

Black Ace Tactical have joined Forces with Mossberg to create a Mossberg 12ga that uses Saiga magazines. Now you can have a 10-round mag or a 20-round drum from ProMag.



So, it CAN exist. Hey, Fatbob. I see a tactical quail hunting shotgun in your near future!

This is the Pistol that was used by Rick Deckard (Harrison Ford) in the 1982 movie Blade Runner. This started out as a real gun. Actually, two real guns. A Charter Arms Bulldog 44 magnum revolver and and bits n' pieces from an Anzhultz bolt action rifle (well, at least the magazine).

The front trigger is a prop and does not move. The rear trigger actually fires the Charter Arms Bulldog revolver that has been "casted" into the prop. Is it safe to shoot? I doubt it. I don't think they used any real barrels.

This is a nice piece from the good ol' boys of Phoenix. The McMillan Brothers introduced their CS5 Sniper Rifle at the 2012 Shot Show. CS5 stands for โ€œConcealable Subsonic/Supersonic Suppressed Sniper System,โ€ Get it? A C and 5 S's... :)

Also known as the Suitcase Sniper, this bolt action rifle, chambered in .308win can be broken down to a small package, small enough to fit inside a small suitcase. Besides being small, it's also lightweight and can shoot 1/2" groups @ 100 yards (sub-MOA)

The rifle pictured above has a short 12" barrel. This puts it in NFA territory as a SBR (short barrel rifle), not to mention the suppressor sitting below it, which is also a NFA item.

This link brings you to more information about the rifle and also a non-NFA 18" barrel version.

Scally Hill Systems was one of the first companies to integrate the AR platform into a chassis for bolt rifles. Their design was pretty revolutionary. So much, in fact, that they licensed the patent rights to several BIG name companies. Eventually, they sold the rights all together and closed shop. Good for them

What is pictured is the Scally Hill Systems Mk4 Mod Mod 4, which uses a a Savage or Remington host barreled action. The barrel is cut short to 13.5", threaded and an AAC 51T flash hider is installed. The flash hider is a QD setup for an AAC Suppressor. When a suppressor is not in use, a SSS QD Brake Shield is installed so all the gas (and noise) is projected forward. Normally, the Savage or Remington host barreled action does not use a large detachable magazine. This chassis system uses AICS magazines.

Note: AICS Stands for Accuracy International Chassis System. Accuracy International is a BIG name company (hint hint) in the long range sniper industry. They offered one of the first large capacity magazines (meaning more than 5 rounds) that was used in a bolt system. They were the only ones for awhile, and now have become the standard. It's no suprise that Scally Hill chose to use their magazines in the design.

The chassis was machined so standard AR-15 grips can be used. The stock is also set to be released or folded. Current bolt action chassis also have incorporated the AR15 stock into the design.

There are currently several companies that offer bolt action chassis systems to retrofit your existing bolt rifle.

Ashbury Precision Ordnance

MDT Engineered Accuracy

XLR Industries

LARS (Long Range Aluminum Rifle Stock)

Competitive Machine, Inc (recently moved from CA to AZ)



There are also companies that have built their own chassis systems utilizing their own bolt and barrel systems. JP Enterprise, Masterpiece Arms, Competitive Edge Gunworks and more.

You can find most of these by Googling "Bolt Action Rifle Chassis"

Look HERE, too! Lots of pics and info.

This is the famous WW2 German MG42 machine gun. A Lightweight (for it's time) machine gun capable of firing 1200 rounds per minute. The rate of fire was increased to 1800 rounds per minute by the middle of WW2, and was deemed "Hitler's Buzz Saw".

The video below gives good information.
