Not with that pis poor attitude, I won't. You lack of knowledge and initiative is not my concern. Just know that your are a gay and retarded homo.

>>63971732

In theory very yes.
In practice? Ehhh...

>>63971732

In some ways, it can fucking rule. Commonly, a lot of people agreed that your infantry rifle being able to also launch grenades (be that with fitting one on the muzzle and sending it flying with a high powered blank, or an underbarrel attachment taking self-contained grenade cartridges), was extremely baller and really useful.

In civilian life, something you will see in some places is combination hunting guns, where you can have something that's like a typical double barreled shotgun, but it also has a rifle barrel too, so it's the kind of hunting weapon which can easily fulfill a lot of different roles depending on what you load it with.
A lot of people think it's easier (and more importantly cheaper) to have just a few different guns for that, but for some, having a single gun which they can hunt all their game with is exactly what they want.

>>63971412 (OP)
Hell yeah. As long as it doesn't significantly interfere with bulk and ergonomics, hence why underslung GLs and rifle grenades were used by everybody but OICWs barely caught on.

>>63971773
Well, not all approaches are sound. The Crossfire dramatically overcomplicated everything because it wanted to be a pump-action shotgun feeding from a detachable tube mag in the stock, and also a pump-action rifle feeding from AR15 magazines, all in the same gun, and it was mechanically selectable between the shotgun or rifle, all with the same trigger and same pump.
Aside from being a complete Rube Goldberg contraption on the inside (to the point that the owner's manual warns you against trying to disassemble the weapon yourself), you end up with a big and clunky gun which is not very good at being a rifle nor a shotgun.

If you look at a typical European Drilling, it's like said, your typical double-barreled shotgun but it also has an extra barrel which is a rifle. Not very complicated, and only a bit heavier than a regular shotgun.

The OICW is cool in kind of a videogame gun sort of way. Goofy as hell, but it's still kinda cool.

>>63971645
I'm going to put you in old folks home if it's not autoloading.

>>63971477
It costs $400,000 to fire this weapon…for twelve seconds

>>63972141
I'm still wondering what the fuck this was supposed to accomplish.

>>63972163
Slav Oicw. Some kind of 12.7mm grenade. From the bolt looks like both are autoloaded.

Masterkey my beloved…

>>63971773
The initial prototype/concept was looking promising.

Haven't lots of soldiers gone back to standalone launchers, though?

>>63972660
Yeah, and in part that's because it means lighter rifle when not in use; but its also because the M320 is awkward as shit when mounted. I think it still would have been a trend if we still had the M203, but it would be much less widespread.

>>63971412 (OP)
Yes

>>63972183
I have a vague idea of it, but I really never understood why both barrels share one bolt carrier, and you could definitely NOT fit very much explosives in a .50 caliber projectile.

>>63972660
Because the M320 isn't a proper underbarrel launcher, it's a standalone launcher which can be attached onto a rail if you want, making it ungainly and bulky as fuck, defeating the whole point of an underbarrel launcher.

>>63971412 (OP)

Steyr's GL40 is a great example of how tiny and sleek you can make an underbarrel 40x46mm launcher if you want, and it swings outward so you can load long shells like big flares or even those fancy PIKE rounds.
Pic related is the one with the mount for the Steyr AUG, there's also one which fits picatinny rails.

The H&K M320 is a really good standalone launcher, it's sleek and compact in that sense, but it's goofy and unsuited as fuck as an underbarrel launcher, it's got all this extra standalone infrastructure which a dedicated underbarrel launcher doesn't need.

Damn shame metal storm 3GL didn't get further developed.
