  Except…

  This works as a tactile feedback that your mag is empty.

  Wine at lunch is just one of their secret weapons.

    I’ve heard this before, and believed it to be a practical design for a while, but when I started shooting, I realized that you can definitely tell when you’ve ran out of bullets in the mag because the bolt typically locks back and feels distinctly different than a normal cycle

      In a combat situation, with other explosions and shit going on around you, it’s easier to feel two pops instead of three or whatever than to notice your bolt locked after three pops.

      It’s designed for war, it’s not a toy for the range.

      The rifle pictured is a FAMAS, and the bolt does not lock open after the last round.

      Though you’re not totally wrong, fewer bangs than you expect on the last trigger pull is pretty easy to notice.

  Look, buddy, numbers in French are hard enough as it is.

    How many 20s is the number?

    • stevedice@sh.itjust.works ⁨5⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      Half to the fourth.

    The French only learned to count to 60 (except for the dialect that learned to count to 70)

    • Tja@programming.dev ⁨16⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      But 60 is divisible by 3.

  Because ammo usually comes boxed by 5’s or 10’s. Mags are often designed to hold rounds in multiples of 5, so ten and twenty can be found for some guns. 3 round burst is common, so a rifle having a 3 round burst and a magazine in multiples of 5 is super normal. Many US military automatic rifles like the M4 also fire 3 round bursts. 20, 30, and 40 round magazines are available for the M4. French ain’t got nothing to do with it.

  It just fires that last bullet three time.

• BCsven@lemmy.ca ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

  Ha. Looks like besides the 25 round mag, a 30 round is available. As is single shot mode.

  Duh, it probably divides by 3 in metric…

• RattlerSix@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

  8 bursts for the enemy, and if that doesn’t do the trick, there’s one bullet left for you

  Once you’ve pulled the trigger for a three-round burst, your hand becomes free and you can change the mag while the first round is still being fired. Duh.
