That is nice!

Dang that's nice! Have you had an opportunity to shoot this weapon?

[makarov]

Yes, I have used this weapon. But the outcome was poor. This rifle did(made) spread(dispersion) of hits 20-30 cm on 100 meters. It is very bad. And we have refused usage of this rifle. We have returned this rifle on warehouse(storage) MVD. Probably it was the factory defect, I do not know.

Vladimir, will this bullpup be rebarrelled or reworked to see if it will shoot better groups or will it stay in the warehouse?

Even though I like the standard style/configuration of a battle rifle, these bullpups sure do appeal to me. I do believe that this one is the largest caliber bullpup around.

Vladimir, what kind of recoil does it have?

[makarov]

It is standard model, she(it) is present in the inventory. This weapon furnishes groups special-purpose. It will be used substantially.

But it is made by small quantity.

recoil - small - here is very successful the shoulder emphasis(stop) - it(he) is made is a shock-absorber (and reduces(descends) a momentum(pulse,impulse) in a shoulder(arm))

[jonnyswift]

I'd take a demilled one for the price of a working one . Hell i just might have to build a model myself just for looks and fun , need a project . I just might build it in 3d as well . Decisions , decisions .

You got it right- she. In America too, all military rifles are female.
