Which assault rifle do you think is the all around best rifle? (size, accuracy, range, reliablity, "MODability") which one would you take in to battle in an urban enviroment or open field or jungle enviorment Steyr SUG FAMAS HK G36 SA80 L85 IMI TAVOR TAR 21 AK47 VECTOR CR 21 SIG 550 AR 15/M 16/M4 XM8 XM29 OICW BARRET M468 FN F2000 HK G11 FEEL FREE TO ADD YOUR OWN you can read up on these at world.guns.ru I think the AR 15 M468 16" IMI TAR FN F2000 in no particular order |
of that entire list, the ones I highlighted are either prototypes or have seen only limited use in combat (not sure about the Steyr SUG, did you mean AUG?). In fact, of the ones that you picked only the AR15 has seen extensive action (as the M16 obviously). As for picking the best, only weapons that have proved themselves should be considered, considering that the only rifles listed with a good history of use are the AK47 & the M16 (and , I guess the SA80), so I'd take the M16 20" flat top. |

Phased Plasma Rifle in the 40-watt range. But if they are not available yet i'll take the Robinson Arms M96. http://www.robarm.com/M96%20Recon%20w%20Holes%20Dark.jpg |
Corrected version - Particle Accelerator rifle or EMP weapon (rail gun / Gauss ) (Spelling Police special deputy on call.) +1 for a rail gun - if you could make a repeating version, either magazine, belt, or hopper fed... and keep it cool enough... and generate enough power for it... and keep from laughing yerself silly while yer blowin' holes in the world! In this world? I'd say it depends too much on mission specific details to give a single answer. Things like loadout, resupply, mobile or stationary, urban v. jungle v. arctic v. desert; close-in or "reach out".. little things, really  My top 3? HK91 / G3 AR15/M16/M4 M14 SOPMOD (Of course, wiggy762's AR10/M4 sounds like it's do)  |
I was gonna add the line "Say again!?!? All after incinerators...."  One of my favorite movies of all time!!!!

That would seem to me to fit the description of a light machine gun since it is not chambered in a intermedite cartridge. I am going to go with the M16, but any of the listed rifles would do fine. |

IMI TAR sucks ass. Do you have any personal experience with it? No? Thought so. The USMC and USAF tried a few because they were looking at interim weapons before getting the XM8 (Which itself is up in the air right now due to several failures and HK's inability to meet the requirements) and they found it to be just decent but not worth the sheetmetal they were made of. IMHO, the Valmet Sako 95 assault rifle is the finest infantry weapon ever made. The close second is the SIG 55X series of rifles. Third comes the Swedish AK5 family. |
Hey dumbfuck from TN, you prick. The AK47 has seen more action than the AR15. Also, the SA80 has seen the IRA, the Iraqis, Kosovo, etc. But it still sucks... haha! Also, the FAMAS has killed its fair share of people in Cote d' Ivore, Afghanistan (yes, that's right...), and some other locations... (Haiti comes to mind). Lastly, the G36 has seen action... Kosovo, Macedonia (yup...), and Afghanistan. |
Your the idiot for not reading his post first. Watch calling names in here or you will be shown the door

In green, bitch. I will show YOU the door if you dont watch it... |
Keep it up

This makes sense to me. That's one of the reasons I would chose the M4A1. It's what I have experience with. Funny story, not funny 'ha,ha' funny strange. I was in the Persian Gulf and the British sailors wanted to trade magazines. They wanted our Al mags, while we wanted steel mags. The grass is always greener, I guess. |
