What is your favorite infantry rifle?

Good point, as the Soviet made weapons are more "sincere" than the tools of the Capitalist oppressers.

The inventors and manufacturers of revolutionary weaponry such as the AK-47 labored for the good of mankind, seeking only to liberate the working class from the oppression of parasitic western democracies. Eugene Stoner designed weapons in order to further his pursuit of filthy lucre.

If we are going with "weapons and their innate intentions" I think the Nambu 94 must be classed as one of the greatest weapons in the world.

It was a downright pacifistic weapon. More likely almost to kill its user than his target, and capable of blowing off the pride and joy of Nippon with a mere slip in the mud. Hats off to you Kijiro Nambu for being on the leading edge of a massive cultural shift in Japanese thinking.

Rune is a man of brevity, incorrect *is* incorrect...seems that when people go at length to disabuse people of notions they are "yankee imperialist scum cowboys"....seeing as how Rune is danish that's likely hurt his feelings.

You can make yourself ridiculous in 4 short words. Like Rune has shown you dont have to go to lengths when saying 'I am an idiot'.

I see, so Terminus was correct and the bloodlines of the MG-4 run from the G-36 then?

If so, somebody better let H&K know since they don't make that claim so far as I know. The LMG-36 is another matter entirely. Perhaps Terminus and by extension you yourself can explain to Heckler and Koch and we other wargamers why H&K markets an LMG-36 AND a(prior to the German forces naming it the MG-4) an MG-43. Seems to me that some moron at H&K forgot a hell of a marketing angle if it is indeed counter to what herr Iversen says "made this from the highly successful 36 family of weapons.....

because GermanFan help me it looks to me like H&K is marketing it as the "German Minimi".

They stepped so high
and they made the bugles ring
we stood beside our cotton bails
and didn't say a thing

we fired our guns and the british kepa commin
there wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago
we fired once more and they commenced to runnin
on down the missisip to the gulf of mexico![:D][:D]

oooh come back proud Canadians
Before you had tv
No hockey night in Canada
There was no CBC

In 1812 Madison was mad
He was the President, you know
But he thought he tell the British where they ought to go
He thougth he'd invade Canada
He thought that he was tough
Instead we went to washington
And burned down all his stuff!

And the White House burned burned burned
and we're the ones that did it
it burned burned burned
while the President ran and cried
it burned burned burned
and things were very historical
and the Americans ran and cried like a bunch of little babies
wa wa waaaa
In the war of 1812!

Now hillbillies from Kentucky
Dressed in green and red
Left home to fight in Canada
But they returned home dead
Its only war the yankees lost
Except for Vietnam
And also the Alamo
And the bay of... ham

The loser was America
The winner was ourselves
So join right in and gloat about
The war of 1812!

And the whitehouse burned burned burned
And we're the ones that did it!
It burned burned burned
While the President ran and cried
It burned burned burned
And things were very historical
And the Americans ran and cried like a bunch of little babies
wa wa waaaa
In the war of 1812!

In 1812 we were just sittin' around
Mindin' our own business
Puttin' crops into the ground
We heard the soldiers coming
And we didnt like that sound
So we took a boat to Washington
And burned it to the ground!

Oh, oh...
We fired our guns
But the yankees kept on coming
There wasn't quite as many
As there was a while ago
We fired once more
And the yankees started runnin
Down the mississippi to the gulf of mexico
They ran through the snow
And they ran through the forest
They ran throught the bushes where the beavers wouldn't go
They ran so fast that they forgot to take their culture
Back to america, gulf, and texico

So, if you go to Washington, its buildings clean and nice,
Bring a pack of matches, and we’ll burn the White House twice!
And the White House burned burned burned
But the americans won't admit it!
It burned, burned, burned,
It burned and burned and burned
It burned, burned, burned,
Now, i bet that made them mad
And the Americans ran and cried like a bunch of little babies
waa waa waah!
In the war of 1812!

[Twotribes]

Yup, the British won alright. And last I checked the "invasion" of Canada was a secondary affair conducted on a shoe string with a minimal force AND we burned some stuff as well.

Also one MIGHT want to check their facts as to exactly WHY the war of 1812 started,

For me,best assault rifle is AK-47[:)].

[Twotribes]

Ak-47 is a spray and prey weapon, designed for the most part to be easily learned and used by people from any weapon or non weapon background. Most of them are useless if you actually plan to aim and fire.

The M16 can be used the same way but is generally well made and the sights and trajectory can be used to engage single targets at range. The M16a2 is even better.

Though I prefer a heavier round. The M1 Garand is my favorite, if I ever had the money I suppose I would love the M14 as well.

For close work I prefer the M1 Carbine, effective to 300 yards ( though your probably not gonna stop much out there) it can fire fast and load fast, very little recoil, Good for the 50 to 200 yard range ( though at 200 one should still be useing the garand) and good for tight spaces as well.

For close work I would find an AK-47 acceptable, easily maintained, can take a beating and works in most any condition you might still be able to fight back in. Owned one once, sold it quickly since the sights and such were so bad one couldnt reliably aim at anything. ( to be fair it was a chinese made version)

I notice, the way the words are written it fits nicely with "The British Grenadiers."

Now, in defense of my American bretheren, I would like to point out that you Brits burned Washington.... after we burned York. So Canada got burned first, we win. [:D] Plus we stopped you guys cold at Baltimore, so it wasn't a COMPLETE loss.

Hmmm? new round? must read...
(Read articles...done)
About time they started thinking again. I never did like the .223,... I wonder if the Russians will go back to the 7.62x39? - probably not...probably make a new 6.5x39 or something.

Anyway - All Hail the end of the .223! [&o]
