Surley you would change your opinion if one were to make a semi automatic shell ejecting system such as deus ex machina? My only gripe with hybrid cartridges is the fact that they require some sort of shell ejecting system to be used effectively vs a standard hybrid.POLAND_SPUD wrote:ohh damn.... somehow I missed this thread...

while I am not a big fan of cartridges (no need to copy the way firearms work to build something that in essence is completely different from firearms)
That and the fact that its a lot more accurate at longer distances opposed to the 7.62POLAND_SPUD wrote: (the same reason why 5.56mm calibre is still in use - sometimes it's cheaper to stick to what you've already have)
I don't think that is a big problem.. sure overheating might be a problem, but it's not something that can't be addressedBut unlike the traditional hybrid of which you have desribed, the cartridge design allows increased durability because the same chamber isn't subjected to rapid shots until its reloaded.
heh similarly you can replace the chamberAnd in the case that a cartridge is broken, it is easily replaced by another cartridge
I was actually referring to a bolt action design such a BACH but yes I see that would be a problem, I just think that when going for ergonomics, cartridge design is much more efficient and pleasing. But then again we are all entitled to our own opinions.POLAND_SPUD wrote: but if you wanted to compare that to a hybrid that uses cartirdges... lol you'd need 30 cartridges... you've got to fill them first, load them (imagine a magazine that can hold 30 cartridges)... etc.
see my point? it gets pretty annoying if you want to fire more than 6 shots or so
