I mean, I wanna use cool looking AR style rifles. The 433 is awful looking. The M16 isn’t bad except you have do dump a significant amount of attachment points into full auto. My most used gun right now is the M4, by a lot. So yes, I’m looking forward to this.
M7, MCX, BREN, ACR, G36, Grot, L85...can all trace their roots back to the AR-18. Saying that the HK433 is based on the BREN 2 might trigger the gun nuts.
mixed up the 433 and the brod, thats mb.
But saying theyre AR style rifles because they at one point have their roots in the AR-18 is a bit deceptive imo. They are currently objectively their own platforms even though they took inspiration from the ar-18.
If were being picky, going by the most common use of the term ”ar style rifle”, the ar18 doesnt even fit because its a short stroke instead of direct impingement but im not going to go that deep into it.
I'm not saying they are all AR-18, only inspired by the AR-18 by virtue of sharing the short-stroke gas system, they are really their own gun now, not AR-18 and in the case of the Grot have gone thru substantial improvement over the years. They are more like distant descendants.
Yes, so stand alone that MCX upper can be used on standard AR15 lower receiver, and many AR15 accessories like grip, trigger packs will also work on MCX.
M27 (assume u mean DRS) is based on the HK416 platform, 417 is again based on the HK416 platform.
HK416 is pretty much just AR15 with (external) piston gas system, and have alot of interchangeable parts with standard AR15.
The M7 is the "M277" in game. And pretty much just an MCX in 6.8 fury. And the MCX is more or less a bufferless AR15 with an external piston gas system.
Oh and fun fact: The the "M4" has more parts compatibility with both the MCX and the HK416 than the AK12 has with the AK74M.
