By The Assosiate Press.
After Long dilibrations both Marlin and USRAC have settled there differences and created what they call the "Prefect Lever Action".
Ment to please shooters in the younger age catagories and to be used in direct compition with the AR-15 and other so called "Tac-Cool" Firearms that have caused both companies to go into debt trying to sell a 110 year old product. This new and improved version features a AimPoint, a AN/PEQ Laser Unit and a AR-15 Mag well accepting the powerful .50cal Beowolf ammunition by Alexander Arms.
Will this pull Marlin and USRAC out of there finacial woes sell a obsolete product only time will tell. |
Scary

I'm kidding I made it up.  A Post on another forum a while back gave me the idea.

Ok, but Westinghouse still makes the best all around rifle:
its a 22mm chain gun that serves as a part time airframe for the ugliest plane that flies.
here's a hint: the plane is called the "warthog" designated the A-10.
it's airframe is the Vulcan rotary cannon.
It gets my vote as the best multi purpose rifle!

Well, that new Marchester is interesting- but it'll never sell.
Know why?
It doesn't say "Tactical". Now if it was called Lever Tactical........

1895,
To avoid "Trademarks" does "MarlinChester" suit you ??
I wonder what the cost to machine one would be other then the ton of legal stuff you'd need.

Pauls, the gun in question on the Warhog is the GAU8A, Its a 30mm gatling gun and uses depleted uranium for its projectiles.
Well, beauty may be in the eye of the beholder, but fear is in the eye of enemy ground forces when the Warthog appears over a burm.
The A-10A first flew on May 10, 1972. Best described as a flying gatling gun. The airframe is such that it is essentially designed around the gun itself. High battlefield survivability is built into the A-10 with heavy titanium platen around the pilot and vital control components. Landing gear is spaced to provide optimum placement of ordinance. The large General Electric turbofans are placed high on the rear fuselage exhausting above the tailplanes to partially mask the infra red signature to ground based missiles.
The General Electric GAU-8/A Avenger seven barreled 30 mm Gatling rotary cannon is 6.71 m (22') long and weighs 1,858 kg. (4,091 lbs.) The shells each weigh 0.91 kg. (2 lbs.) The ammunition drum can accommodate 1,174 rounds (high explosive or armour piercing.) There are two rates of fire, either 2,100 rpm. or 4,200 rpm. Two hydraulic motors are used to feed the ammunition belt at the higher rate of fire, one at the lower rpm. The design fire duration is ten two second bursts with a sixty second cooling off period between each burst.
There are eight underwing and three under fuselage hard points for a variety of ordinance/fuel configurations.
