So, what is this mysterious "mechanism" that sets this marvelous Aztec marvel of engineering apart from its primitive German copy? Koalorka (talk) 22:23, 22 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

i doubt it is real -84.57.201.206 (talk) 15:58, 28 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I doubt you are real! Nah, j/k. Where did they obtain all that technical information? no source is listed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.130.153.107 (talk) 04:41, 29 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I just noticed this treasure:

"Another notable feature of the FX-05 is it's delayed recoiling barrel action which effectively delays the gun from recoiling until after the round has left the barrel. The way this system works is that when a round is fired, instead of directly using the gas from the round to reload the chamber, the gas pushes the barrel back inside of the body which then triggers a locomotive pulley which both refills the chamber and pushes the mechanism back into firing position. Because of this system the FX-05 can fire a three round burst before the gun even recoils by allowing three rounds to be fired within one barrel retraction and because all three rounds are fired without recoil they all hit the exact same spot allowing penetration of even the toughest body armor. The lack of recoil also makes three round burst firing of the FX-05 extremely accurate with the three rounds hitting the same point with a margin of difference less than 1.690mm at 400 meters. Using this system allows the FX-05 to fire at it's extremely fast rate of 2100 RPM although when fired fully automaticaly the mechanism self-regulates itself down to 750 RPM after the first three rounds."

Just wow..... What's even funnier is the see-through cut-away picture provided reveals the gun actually is a straight copy of the G36, with the same short-stroke gas piston system, rotating, lugged bolt etc etc. Does anyone want to attempt to fix this before I step in?

By all means, step in and save us poor souls from ourselves.172.191.152.94 (talk) 02:50, 16 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I seriously doubt the thing has a recoiling barrel. IMI Tavor TAR-21 is not a comparable weapon it is a bullpup etc. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.200.149.201 (talk) 21:50, 4 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Where did anybody get the info about the 6.8 mm Rem SPC? Mexico only uses NATO ammo, and 6.8 SPC ain't yet. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 200.94.105.82 (talk) 05:57, 12 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

yeah Mexico paid 22 million pesos for technology transfer. the documents have been in the press, so the information that the project was aborted before any technology could be sold is wrong. --2.240.7.126 (talk) 23:23, 24 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
