It is.  Those are Bushmaster rifles.  Italians have a bunch of them.  

Right. I was just wondering how they are holding up to real world duties.

Can you believe they took the time to line all those rounds up in front of the mags in the pic of the dead FARCs?

Thanks Lumpy.

Is it me or does the 'big high res versions' not work?

Nothin' like having a back-up M4 to your M4!


Thanks Lumpy...

Quoted: Is it me or does the 'big high res versions' not work?

They work for me but they are not very hi-res, they are only about twice the size as what Lumpy posted.

Completely fucking retarded. OTOH, the guy's actual job is to take responsibility for the next lethal terrorist attack on American soil. While an APC escort is not quite the same as having Rachel Ray ride the toy pony and then make you a sammich with a side of polenta, it's some incentive for 4 years in the barrel.

Negative.  It is Indonesian SS2 V1.  Designed and manufactured by Indonesian National armory Pindad, West Java.  The lower receiver is derived from that of an FNC (they are licensed by FN to manufacture their own version called the SS1).  The upper is a new design which takes a lot of design features from the Korean K2.  SS2 uses the long stroke piston system.  The bolt is similar to that of the M16.

It would seem a lot of designs are copies of others - with a twist - and the Daewoo has some similarities to this one.
