My god,such a huge post and virtually all of it without any redeeming value what so ever,some people appear to have a lot of idle time on their hands it seems.
I especially like the part where you took the image that I posted,which I thought proved my point pretty well by the way,and stuck a couple of arrows on it,for what exact purpose I dont know as it doesnt alter the contents of the picture in any way or what it clearly shows ie the very clear similarity between the scar grip and the the zolfaqars which ironically is what your own arrows appear to be highlighting.What really cracked me up tho was you actually agreed with my point and I`ll quote you
See?,that wasnt so hard now was it?,altho if the zolfaqars ergonomics are "poor" then doesnt that also follow that the ar15 and scars would be too then?,I think you might have a fair few people,not just me and amir,disputing you on that one,but thats just my opinion.
Actually I do and frankly I`m more than a little amazed that you felt the necessity to post not only the wiki link but in addition 2 separate videos as well as 15 lines too.However despite all that your only points seemed to be:
For a start I never claimed "that you can give it [the barrel] a misalignment with barely touching it's tip",you claimed that you saw this in the unveiling video,yet no matter how hard I studied the sequence in question I never saw any evidence of barrel deflection and as I in fact said in a previous post even a polymer barrel wouldnt deflect that much.
Now as for the "this rifle can't really be "free floating", considering it uses a short stroke gas piston operating system",well technically you`re right its not a true free float BUT Free float with gas-operated rifles has come to mean that the barrel is not influenced by any stresses applied to the fore-grip which could alter barrel harmonics,so there you have have it.
And let us not forget the "missing" connecting rod
Well basically I would think that the simple fact that you dont see any connecting rod is because......there isnt one!!,the piston itself just hits the carrier group back, and cycles the weapon,well thats how it works in the scar anyway and I see no reason why the zolfaqar doesnt work exactly the same way considering how many other features it has borrowed from the scar.
Now as for the magazines:
I would imagine these are simple good old magazine witness holes so at a quick glance one can get an idea of how much ammo one has left in ones clip,you often see them on the side or the rear of the mag tho a better solution would be to use a see-thru/translucent polymer window or for the entire mag itself.
And lastly:
Quite right BIG2 I couldnt agree more,well said.
