>The theory is that a bunch of projectiles hitting in a controlled pattern are more likely to hit the target. Project SALVO and all of its predecessors and sucessors tried it, and they never managed to make it work.
Project SALVO worked within reason, the problem was with ammunition costs overruling practicality and because individual marksmanship was still butting heads with that proposed doctrine - hence the M14 being adopted and the M16 being sabotaged through both cost-saving measures and "muh M14".
Duplex ammunition worked well enough that it was seriously considered, double-rifles were thrown out as soon as possible, and flechettes were a massive disappointment, but that's generally where the discussion ends.
Is the Savage 110 still the not-so-poorfag bolt action of choice, or has it been dethroned yet?
>what should I expect
Everything is expensive, every piece of milsurp has been shoved up the owner's ass like a dildo at least once, haggling unless you look like a veteran/old and crusty jackass is impossible. Also people at the taser table will not stop zapping the air so get used to the sound.
>muh dad
He doesn't trust you because you're probably a huge faggot. Next time call your local cop shop and have them tell your retard dad because he's an idiot.
Expensive as in Cabela's pricing.
Half the people there are licensed FFLs so MSRP is going to be pretty common for anything new but everything else is retards wanting a profit on a used and abused piece.
I'm not reading that shit, kike.
They seem to be more collector's items now, though you can occasionally find them while scouring for milsurp. There's also new production magazines from Ohio Ordnance due to their reproduction BARs and the HCAR.
>7.62mm NATO
Not very well, depending on the bolt design. 7.62 NATO is, as you should know, a bit shorter and it's possible for rounds to shift in the magazine during cycling. Rifles like the FR-8 used modified 7.92 Mauser magazines with a shorter proprietary follower/spring and a spacer in the magazine nearest the chamber.
>7.92mm Mauser
Strong "maybe" - are you thinking about slapping a BAR magazine onto a Mauser? You might need to modify the magazine to work with the bolt, seeing as it differs quite a bit from the open-bolt design of the BAR.
Not to mention there's not too much room to work with.
>I'm thinking about a magazine-fed rifle that can accomodate as many different cartridges as possible.
Magazine design is a very difficult task for even one caliber; to make one that's supposed to work with multiple will have many problems feeding.
People also want separate magazines specifically for safety over convenience - keep in mind how many people have blown up their AR-15 when mistakenly chambering .300 Blackout in a 5.56 rifle.
