Wondering whether to use black or tan mags in the SCAR?

And if you're wondering about the SVD's size...I'm 5'9 and it comes up to my chin!!

First posting of my gun pic :-) JG Sig 552 purchased from forum member. I have added some externals to it as it was already upgraded internally. So the suppressor, light, grip and red dot are new to the gun, still waiting on a cheek riser.

First skirmish with it this Sunday.

It's well made but the proportions are well, shall we say 'off'

The 2cm Flak sits on a flat metal turntable with 3 'feet' to adjust for rough ground. It's wheels are part of a separate carriage that the gun is raised and fastened in to turntable and all. Those wheels are the size of car tires on the real thing.

German 2cm is way over engineered for the size of gun.

British Army 20mm mounts were a lot more compact and simple

Not really over-engineered, just a different beast. The British one has a carriage that just about sits on the ground; the recoil would be transmitted pretty much straight down so the flexing of the base is supported. The German gun is more versatile; it was used as an anti-materiel weapon as well as anti-aircraft so the additional weight would allow greater accuracy.

 
I suspect the French Commandos who faced one at the casino in Ouistreham on D-Day would probably have agreed with you. If that poxy thing had been less accurate their job would have been a lot easier!

 
It's not the accuracy it's the size of the mount. It's a perfect example of a weapon designed in a time of peace. Later models of the German weapon were cut right down, the lost the armour plates for a start. There used to be a great big power operated 20mm mount that the RN used back at the start of the war. It was abandoned in favour of the simple pedestal mounted gun and powered 40mm mounts.

Here is a fine example of an over engineered gun.
