New Canadian Service Rifle

[Kirk Freeman]

I don't know what to call it, and the Canadians don't either.

Two-tiered platform that fires grenades, shotgun, rifle, or round pieces of ham which they call "bacon" to confuse their enemies.

Man that thing is dumb. Why not fire an ar from the hip. The bore/sight axis would be about the same.

Is that a 22 zip?

Butt ugly.

The only thing missing is a side folding stock. Then it would be more tactical. Maybe a flashlight or three.

 

[boogieman]

did anyone else notice how thick the mag was in the bottom pics. It is twice as wide as a normal double stack mag.

 

[BogWalker]

Looks cumbersome, awkward to maneuver and use, and probably ludicrously expensive.

As somebody said on the comments on the article, good luck laying prone with this thing.

Maybe the enemy will fall over laughing?

I think it needs a Leopard Light.

good luck shooting at 10 yds, 50 yds, 100 yds and 400 yds without totally over/undershooting your target...

and yes, super ugly

 

[DeadeyeChrista'sdad]

I'd call it the "sleeping bear". Overweight and grumpy.

And legal for coyote in Indiana.

Truly ugly and I don't think they are known for good looking woman either ..... So go figure !

 

[yote hunter]

Now I can't wait to see how many INGO members want to show off there new gun.... lol

 

[freekforge]

i wonder if the one in the first pic is man fireable?

So, it's the OICW that the US military dropped, basically

I would be more concerned about the 40mm grenade launcher breach about 1.5" from your face!

It's good to break out from the normal conventions from time to time, that's how we got the Henry repeating rifle, the M1 Garand, M16, AUG, etc. You'll notice that a great many established devices have origins in very strange, awkward prototypes.

The mag does look a bit large, quad-stack maybe? That would be cool, especially since it doesn't look as long as the surefires.

Pretty much. The South Koreans built a version as well, and did a very intelligent thing. With the OICW, the semi-auto launcher was very large, expensive, and picky. The ROK made theirs a bullpup bolt-action, and called it good. Like how the US spent millions on researching the space pen, and the Soviets simply issued pencils.
