Gun control is evil

[Jeffy-CanCon]

I like the M-16, but it seems that too much political issues are involved that keep it a little behind other rifles. Personally before Vietnam the US should have adopted a rifle that you may consider obsolete, I consider it the best post war WWII rifle. The FN FAL. 7x43mm ammunition, gas operated, just plain goodness. Update it, make it, give it to our soldiers and let them have a field day.

The FN is nice, but is bigger & heavier and the ammo weighs more. Like all battle-rifles of that era, it is uncontrollable in automatic fire. It is supposed to be quite sensitive to dirt, too. African guerrillas who used the FN and the K&K G3 preferred the G3 as being more robust and easier to maintain. Finally, the FN was not invented in the USA. That last factor apparently causes political problems with congress.

Gee, the general public can't buy tanks or self-propelled artillary. That must be why they have problems with those too.

And grenades! Surely grenades would be made better if the public could buy them.

US military has a bigger worry. They're running out of ammunition.

2 BILLION rounds!

Oh pshaw!

We are not! The military has contingency plants for just this reason. If Lake City can't supply, then Winchester kicks in, then the Salt Lake City plant, THEN the Israelis pick up the slack.

We are FAR from running out of anything here.

hey, so whats army's view on the .308 vs the .223?
is it true that M1A's are being issued to designated marksmen out in the desert?

In my opinion the best military rifle to date would have to be the AN-94 nothing compares in my book oh ya and im gonna agree with ARMY on everything cept the M-16 being the best military rifle.
