in-built, automatic tactile feedback that you need to reload because you feel 2 shots instead of 3

better than the british solution of “count in your head how many bullets you’ve used and reload when you hit 30”

My thoughts exactly. More guns need better UX design. The Garand had its ping, this gun has its dud-dud, the barret 50 cal blows a lil hiss of gas out the bottom of the mag when its empty like an exasperated sigh, the P90 you can literally just see the last round get sucked into its witchcraft mechanism.

A proper tactile, audible and visual feedback with practical application is called a bolt hold open and it even speeds up a reload.

Wondering if you felt x-1 rounds leave the rifle to determine if a reload is needed is the kind of engineering that made even the french abandon this for a german made HK416

If we’re going by that logic, every house needs two things: a USP .45 and a NIKITA Remote Control rocket launcher.

As much as I love shitting on the French for being terrible with numbers (seriously, how the fuck is the word for ‘99’ ‘four-twenties, a ten, and a nine’?!?) this one seems intentional so you can feel when you run out.

The funny thing is that in Switzerland they commonly say nonante neuf. So it’s not like there is no word for 90

Because way back when, before sensible systems, they used base-20, and despite now running base-10, the base-20 is stuck in the language.

Edit it’s sort of in most languages actually, not just to that extent. I mean, English has “twenty-one”, but no “onety-one”. 1-20 have their own numbers in most languages I think, and after twenty you just repeat the first 10 and add whatever tens you like, whereas the French sometimes repeat the first 20 and add an amount of twenties

English has “twenty-one”, but no “onety-one”.

But you have teens? Thirteen, fourteen etc? It’s just that a dozen was kind of special, so eleven and twelve are kind of irregular, but afterwards it’s just ordinary base 10, isn’t it?

But the endian switches for the teens — twenty three is “tens place ones place,” but thirteen is “ones place tens place.”

Well, English does. Not my native language.

Yes, my point exactly. No “onety-one”, because “eleven”.

Same with other languages.

But “thirteen”, “fourteen” etc, you think are as regular as “twenty one”, “thirty three” “forty five”?

It is base-10 all the way through, but I’m just pointing out that probably at one point in history, even other languages, for some reason, counted 1-20 differently than 20+ numbers and they sort of stuck.

We’re not bad with numbers, just at naming them. 😉 But that’s why we pretty much always use abbreviations.

Abbreviations. Of numbers. Don’t think about it. 😅

Later on they made a variant that accepts 30 round STANAG magazines, but the Army decided not to adopt it. Classic French behaviour.

Fun fact: IRL burst firing modes don’t fire 3 bullets with a single presse of the trigger, you have to keep it down for all 3 bullets.

But, that’s still a single press of the trigger. Perhaps it is more accurate to say a single trigger squeeze, rather than press, but it remains true that it will fire all three rounds with you depressing the trigger once.

They’re to increase surface area on the barrel to radiate heat more effectively.
