PSA "Battlefield" Series

[Dan0311]

Just saw this. Not actually "MilSurp", but couldn't find a better thread topic.

Watched the video just a little while ago. I’m excited to see what this series from PSA brings. I’m liking how they started out.

Just watched this a little bit ago. Also intrigued to see what they bring out over the next few years.

 

[Walkabout Dan]

I like it.

I wanna pay attention, but it looks like Hop is wearing a lot of makeup and it's distracting...

I got to handle an HMG STG 44 in 2017ish. It was neat.

I got to fire an original many years ago and it was amazingly easy to control. Low cyclic rate combined with a mild power cartridge and 10+ pound weight gave it virtually zero muzzle climb.
The build quality was questionable but still would take it over a M1 (which are pretty effective).
Question is what caliber to get it in?

7.9mmK of course. Then get another barrel etc. for it.😃

Good question. Maybe 7.62 x 39, although the required magazine curve my throw the whole look off.

Supersonic 300blk might be a good way to go with it. Looks to have a similar case taper, bullet weight, and velocity to 7.92x33 kurz. It'd save the look by not needing a magazine with a strong curve.

Agreed 300 blk would be my choice. I would prefer 7.62x39 but the curve of the mag would throw the aesthetics off.

A buddy had an actual STG44 when I was in college. Wonder what that is worth now?

 

[USMC6094]

Im not that into aesthetics, 7.62X39 would be more economical, mag curvature be damned.

Right!!?? I noticed it on a different recent video. 😂 I said his new cosmetic line is drawing quite the crowd at Shot 😂

 

[pinkbunny]

Sounds like they're coming out with a Chinese spiker AK too?

They mentioned in the video that they have mag inserts so you won’t need to have the typical x39 curve in the mag. As a result, they’re single stack 25rd.

Seems to be PSA has shacked up with HMG. Not really sure thats a good thing. Unlike nodak spuds excellent reputatio, HMG's is in the toilet and its not for bad products its for bad business.

Well PSA certainly has practice releasing new products. Let’s hope they use their knowledge for good.
