PureSilver Posted April 9, 2012 Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g290/Anfrax666/DSC01206.jpg JG Steyr Aug with H-bar kit and custom drum mag! You know, I can see why the HBAR never caught on. That bipod is just a big lever bending the unsupported barrel upwards. It looks like if you set it down too hard it would snap, which is a shame because it's a beautiful gun... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WhiteHawksan Posted April 9, 2012 Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 it did catch on, with the autsrian army. The support is with your shoulder where the weight is, it's biggest issue is a simple one, mags. Bullpup rifles are awesome, but you can't put drum mags in them comfortably.

PureSilver Posted April 9, 2012 Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 (edited) it did catch on, with the autsrian army. No, it didn't. AFAIK the Austrian Army uses the MG74; it doesn't use the HBAR much if at all. I don't think they use the HBAR-T much either - I think their primary accurate arm is the SSG 69. The second-biggest AUG buyer (Australia) doesn't use the HBAR or the HBAR-T at all (relies on the Minimi and HK417 as SAW and DMR, respectively) - the only buyer of the HBAR I can find is that well known military power, Luxembourg. The support is with your shoulder where the weight is, it's biggest issue is a simple one, mags. Bullpup rifles are awesome, but you can't put drum mags in them comfortably. Though this is the DMR thread, not the LMG thread, this is a valid point. The problem with the HBAR was the tiny magazine capacity and the lack of a quick-change barrel. These problems meant that the weapon wasn't widely adopted, which is why they didn't bother to fix that bipod. The problem with the HBAR-T is that the barrels were designed for LMGs - i.e. medium rates of fire, not accuracy, and that they didn't bother to fix that bipod. It's one thing to have a non-free-floating barrel - it's another altogether to have the barrel be the only support for the bipod!

PureSilver Posted May 3, 2012 Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 Surely 'bolt-action' and 'DMR' are mutually exclusive? It's a lovely rifle, anyway. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

As soon as the weather clears up and I get some decent natural lighting, I'll post some more pictures. I'm keeping my fingers crossed as the Aussie furniture kit is currently 3 days away from being mine. Cheers, Piano Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Scuffer Posted May 6, 2012 Report Share Posted May 6, 2012 Are bolt action rifles 'DMRs'? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PureSilver Posted May 6, 2012 Report Share Posted May 6, 2012 (edited) Surely 'bolt-action' and 'DMR' are mutually exclusive? It's a lovely rifle, anyway. Are bolt action rifles 'DMRs'? All designated marksman rifles in use today use a semi-automatic action, with some also being able to fire in full-automatic mode. So - I was right?

Scuffer Posted May 6, 2012 Report Share Posted May 6, 2012 Yes you were. In short, they should be in a different thread. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
