That's a really interesting looking gun! Looks quite long too

I think 80cm for a bullpup is not too long.

What is this, 1:1 scale? Looks kinda close to the airsoft FA-MAS I have at the corner. Now that I look closer at the round, matching it against a 7.62x53mmR casing, the dimensions are rather close.
I'm not too sure about the ejection port, though. Even as the weapon extracts dud cartridges only, doesn't the ejection port still open during the action cycling? (bolt assembly moving back) If that's the case, hot gasses or just residual heat may affect the aim a they provide a distraction. I remember how freaky it looked during winter when my weapon started spewing smoke from every crack and seam.
Hey! What If you'd try a cased weapon next, eh? I could convert the round to a traditional 6.5x40mm. That would also necessitate a curved mag.

I had the ejection port in another place in an earlier version but I meant it to be closed during the action so it is no problem.
And I took the same scale you use I just fliped the scale of the bullet by 90Β°, even though I know that it changes the Proportions in Paint, so the actual scale is something like 1 to 1,5.
And of course I'm interested in a new weapon.

The ejection port itself is always a hole, but the metal and the mechanism blocking it is the bolt assembly, yeah? So following that thought, how could the ejection port remain closed when the system cycles? By a superficial examination the weapon looks like a traditional gas-powered assault rifle.
...
Wait... The port's too high... Usually the port is on the same level as the barrel... Oh, NOW I see. The action cycles deep within the weapon and the cover moves only when the user pulls on the charging handle. BTW, is the handle a non-reciprocating design or part of the bolt carrier ?
Still that much distance between the bolt and the ejection port carries with it the risk of jamming, necessitating the weapon to be held upside down to prevent such jams. And the bolt and bolt carrier assembly must be specially designed to allow thru-and-thru feed. The Rk.62, being an AK derivative, fed bottom-to-side, like most assault rifles (actually Rk.62 would mean AR-62 in english). The only weapons I know of having a through-&-through feed are MGs.

That's some hard stuff, dude. I mean I have some problems to understand all this in english.

Too many big words, eh? That's why we have the miracles of [link] and [link] .
BTW, you know the JΓ€ger Battalion 27? Don't google or wiki before answering that!

I think I got some of the things you said earlier
"The action cycles deep within the weapon and the cover moves only when the user pulls on the charging handle (YES). BTW, is the handle a non-reciprocating design <(YES) or part of the bolt carrier "
and With the last part your right I probably made a mistake. Would it be better if I simply add the ejection port at the side of the weapon like normal rifles?
And one more thing don't behave as cocky as in your last post.

It's okay. You know it is just, when you draw a gun, spend lots of time on it. (especially when you draw in such a big scale when you have trouble with your PC that makes it only show a resolution of 640x480)And then some body says there are lots of mistakes in it.

Not necessarily "lots" mistakes. And if no-one points out any of our errors, how can any of us fix them? And if only the minor details stick out, then they can be ironed out in no time (well, depending on what program you're using).
But anyway, I know how difficult it is to draw weapons. I can't draw one from scratch. That's why I use a shortcut: rad's custom guns ([link] ). It allows one to make guns like lego sets. 8though some post processing is done after that).
As I explained to a commentator some while ago: making weapons is difficult, especially if you want to make something new. Whenever I think of something, I often see that someone has already done something.
In that regard, you have my respect for the skill you have with these designs.
As Kalashnikov said: "A lot of [Soviet Army soldiers] ask me how one can become a constructor, and how new weaponry is designed. These are very difficult questions. Each designer seems to have his own paths, his own successes and failures. But one thing is clear: before attempting to create something new, it is vital to have a good appreciation of everything that already exists in this field. I myself have had many experiences confirming this to be so."
Wise words from a wise man. Just too bad he didn't get anything for his weapon family.
I myself aspire to become a weapon designer, so I do not pay much attention to merely the skin of the weapon. I try to see what makes the weapon tick, how it works the way it does.
MAN, that was a long text!

I think that might be the diffrence between us, I'm maybe more of a visual type who creates the cool looks of a weapon and you might be the engineer to make it's interior working. Even though I do have more knowledge of weapons than the normal gunnut I don't have the knowledge the gunsmith has.

I don't know JB 27. And It's of course no problem to google things but it's a pain to look the expressions and then understand it all in the context.

1. Kaiserlische JΓ€ger Battalion 27 (spelling*) has an interesting history, so one ought to take a closer look.
2. The big words are all relating to weapons and their operations, so it wouldn't be too hard to catch on the right definitions.
eg. non-reciprocating charging handle: doesn't move with the action. Used on M-16 series.
Bolt carriage: the assembly which the bolt is attached to (luisti or "slider" in finn.)
