THATS why it failed <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
the model itself would be pretty easy though.
no sale.

nevertheless: UGLY AS HELL! <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
Heh, thanks.
Well, looking over it... I think it's a rather ingenious design for a magazine.. looks a bit clumsy, though.
Doesn't the Bizon use something like this?
Ok,so it doesn't look pretty.I've seen plently of non-pretty guns make it into NS.So how about we pretty it up.Someone do a render of it in 3d,and we all say how we should edit it to make it look better.At the most it's simply a waste of time/space,noone really cares if it drops into nothingness if it was an ugly model.
and it's better then a <a href='http://world.guns.ru/shotgun/sh20-e.htm' target='_blank'>Shotgun Uzi</a>
Actually, they used slightly redressed Calicos in Spaceballs
and i utterly love tihs gun
one reason the gun have not sold that good was that some peoples hurt themself on the ejection port while firing, because they were to stupid to hold the gun right...
oh..and then was this (assault) automatic weapon ban...wich limited the magazine capacity for civilian automatic weapons to 10 rounds, the calico doesnt sold that well for the military and police..so the civilian market was the only one left... this stopped the calico production at all..
i would say if this one is getting produced again it would sell way better now..
and i say the helical magazine concept is maybe the most ingenious invention in magazine technology ever...the most compact high capacity magazine solution at the moment..the biggest helical mag for the calico isnt longer than a p90 50 round double stacked box magazine ...and holds 100 rounds . they look very complex, but the magazines are very durable and reliable .you can drop the magazines and kick them around if you like but I wouldnt since they cost $125 apiece.
oh..and that star wars thing... next to spaceball it was used in tons of rather bad Sci Fi B-Movies
Not very efficient.

what to hell are you talking about.... <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused-fix.gif' /><!--endemo--> the cut away shows a half (half is a very aproximate value..) filled magazine.. they are complete full... and read next time..long as a p90 magazine with 50 rounds, but holds 100... thats not efficient?? <!--emo&:0--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wow.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wow.gif' /><!--endemo--> oh..and guess how much space a regular magazine spring takes in a full loaded box magazine... thats not "efficient" either
but you are right, thats why i brought it up as a very effective means fo getting rounds to the gun
Reguardlessly,anyone planning on modeling this anytime soon?
But this can be forgiven; the G11 is a black box but it's also (in my opinion) the best assault rifle ever made.
Yes, the Bizon-2 uses a similar mag design where the magazine is placed underneath the barrel, horizontally - where it doubles as the foregrip of the weapon. It holds 66 rounds if I'm not mistaken ?
And for some eyecandy, a cut away pic of the calico
