Rifles Descriptions
Bushmaster Gas Piston 90294
The Bushmaster Gas Piston System Rifles bring new levels of reliability to the “AR” type rifle platform by eliminating carbon build up, gas leaks and heat within the Upper Receiver. The Gas Piston System operates by tapping gas pressure off the barrel much like the systems found on AK-47s and FALs * Functions with a wider range of ammunition - less gas pressure - lower cyclic rate * Offers improved reliability and control - with cleaner operation and reduced recoil * Keeps carbon build up and powder residue from reaching - and fouling the Upper Receiver and Bolt Carrier * A Detented Plug in the Gas Block allows easy cleaning of the Systems’ Hard Chrome Plated Piston
Walther Gewehr 41
The Gewehr 41 is a German semi-automatic rifle. It had become clear that some sort of automatic rifle with a higher rate of fire than most bolt-action rifles was needed by 1940 to improve the military's combat efficiency. With the requirements submitted to two manufacturers, Mauser and Walther, both set out to create a rifle for said requirements, with both rifles turning out to be rather similar. With the creation of this rifle, some restrictions were imposed on the design; those being that no holes are to be bored into the barrel to tap gas for the action, that the rifles were not to have any moving parts on the surface of the weapon, and that in the event the auto-loading system malfunctioned or catastrophically failed, an auxiliary bolt-action was to be added.
