I was thinking about the requirements of a new breed of rifle - not the MBR, (main battle rifle), but the MSR,(main survival rifle).
I think the selling points would have to be;
1) Durable as all get out, able to take minimal maintenace without a hitch. ie, if I get dropped into Land of the Lost with this, 1000 rounds, and one little bottle of Break Free, how long will it run?
2) Available - no plasma rifles in the 40 megawatt range.
3) Common parts. Can I get parts for the beast? Springs, etc?
4) Common ammo - as much as I love my Mosins, the ammo is not found at WalMart.
5) Bolt OR semi. Doesn't matter
6) Combat proven. A former, or designed for the military arm, is usually one that has been through some rough trials.
7 Portability. No Solothurns!
8 Magazine fed - box or internal, no single shots.
9 Lethality - able to defeat both man, and most medium and large game.
10 Price - as a state slave, I make squat, so it's gotta be affordable.
Now what equals all these requirements? The rifle is NOT meant for long term combat, but skulking and hunting, staying OUT of combat if possible, but able to handle it should it arise.
I have a few ideas, but am curious what you guys think.....
