I was thinking a military training rifle from WW2.I like old fashioned stuff.Any other suggestions?
I want a .22 rifle,and i’m not a huge fan of ruger.
is the five-seven really a good defense gun?I admit I was very impressed with it in writing,but I thought it was only good for vest penetration.Also I don’t think many criminals carry a 1000 handgun with 2$ bullets.

For me:
Weapon- a rifle with a long, sniper barrel and a scope that shoots electricity and water-filled glass orbs. When the projectile breaks, the target is shocked by electricity, which is conducted by the water.
Vehicle- a hovering aircraft with 3 front turrets, 2 10 soldier capacity passenger chambers, a cockpit, and a thick, glass bottom for viewing the battlefield. It would be used to transport troops, and launch assaults.
Oh and E. Bunny, your wierd.
Ok people, it’s not that I like war, cause I don’t, but right now! You just wanna be creative! Please, don’t say a gun that has projectiles of world peace! Be creative!

Fictional book written between 1998-2005. The CIA/Militrary has a lab. They inject a soldier with something and it transforms him into a superhuman creature who kills everyone. This"tracker" (who just located a lost child in either the mountains or the dessert) is called in to help a Special Forces team track and kill this creature. This creature is hard to kill because the more he eats, the faster he regenerates. At one point in the story the SF team shoot this creature with 50 cal rifles and it seems to slow the creature down. There is also a women in the story (I think she is part of the SF team). I am not sure of her name. The story moves to a few locations, but the monster is hunted in possibly the South Pole, the jungle, or a dessert.

I grew up with guns. My father had Rugar, Winchester, some military issue rifles. We had several pistols but I had to give them to my aunt because they are illegal to have in my home state. My grandmother had a rifle that could be used by a woman or a man and had a clean shot and not that much kick back but the rifle was so old it has rusted away and is useless. It had been lost in the basement and ruined.
What would be a good brand of rifle to get that I can purchase that I can use and my girlfriend can use for home security? I was looking into Winchester or Rugar.
I am so dumb. I think the weapon that Nana had must have been a shot gun. I remember Dad showing me how to use it as a kid. That must be it. It was shorter barrel than the weapons he used for hunting that were the rifles.

Im a automotive electricion and mechanic and recently discovered that the us military will only take me as a rifle man because im red green color blind. also i found out that as soon as 2nd grade that it was in my record that i should b discouraged from perusing a large list of jobs because of it. So if nobody will take a color blind person why is that not a disability.

i heard this rifle was discontinued in the early 70s when noble went out of business after mass producing other weapons strictly for the military if that’s true this rifle is in excellent condition for being almost 40 years old if anyone has info it would be much appreciated.

now i know the M4 is a lot more compact than the m16 as well a lot smaller lighter and easier to carry, thus making it ideal for close quarters combat and fighting in urban operations. HOWEVER the M16 (primarily the M16a3 and A4) are number 1. a lot more accurate, number 2 have longer range, as well as they pack much more of a punch with the 5.56 than the m4 does due to its longer barrel and higher muzzle velocity. and the thing with firing a substantially small round for an assault rifle is you need a rifle that is capable of firing it effectively enough so it can drop the enemy with 1 or 2 shots. and thats exactly what the m16 does, the m4 having a shorter barrel fires it with less ferocity thus making the initial wound as deadly as if i were fired from an m16. it also pierces body armor better than the m4 and is more reliable (m4 jams like a ***** from what i hear). so feel free to correct me if im wrong i’m just a die hard m16 fan and i think the US military is making a huge mistake by choosing to replace it with the m4.

so two weekends from now im going to a gun show. they military surplus rifles and such. last time i went i found someone getting rid of a mint condition Enfield that someone was selling for 100 dollars. im walkin in with 150 bucks and leaving with a rifle. alternately, i found an add for a guy selling a "new" unissued Mosin-nagant (dont know what model yet) with all the goodies like a bayonet, oil, pouches, etc. for 150 bucks. what rifle would be the best to get if i can find it? like, between an Mosin Nagant, Enfield, etc..

note: if i find a nice looking 03′ Springfield im jumping on that. I buy american guns before anything else.
also i don’t know if i should buy it from the one guy for 150 or wait until two weekends from now and go to the gun show. because at the gun show i just have this feeling that i might be able to find the same gun and all that stuff for like 100.
it’s the 91/30 model, so the most accurate and prolific of the different models.

Rich-it’s the standard russian infantry rifle of WW2. they’re a penny a dozen.

Here is the sentence:
"When Military Scientests descovered that the standard issue assalt riffles were to large and slow in face to face trench combat, the submachine gun was created and put into play, these guns were as powerful as a assult rifle but the size of a second hand pistol."

Here’s some of what i’ve narrowed it down to.

-HK416/417
-SCAR H/L
-knights armament PDW

Note: I am not a gamer and have never played call of duty in my life.

Note: We shouldn’t use the 5.56(x45) anymore, we need to get into something between the light/weak 5.56 and the heavy/powerful 7.62mm. maybe the 6mm or the 6.8mm.
Good point aden, if we replace the m4, it needs to be something more reliable if we can’t change the caliber.

There are 2 questions here, but they relate to each other.

Stories of jams in military M16/M4 rifles and civ.ARs are numerous due to it’s DI gas system. But from all I have heard most of it is due to love and care of the rifle including what kind of lubricant, how much of it, and where you put it are tremendously important. Is the military gun grease and common technique of application adequate? I have met and read of people who say their civ. ARs can run many, many rounds even dirty with a very good lube or grease and good knowledge of how to use it.

I have also heard that there are some people complain specifically about civ. Colt ARs compared to other brands. I know well that Colt has lofty standards as being mil-spec and there are people who shun any civ. ARs except them. However, combined with stories of military M4s jamming in warfare I think it is a fair question to ask if the AR/M4 design is good, but if there are certain design flaws besides possibly due to Colt designs and not DI gas system.

These are questions from a civilian who has gotten in to guns only in the last year or so and going to buy his own AR. I am not flaming the AR system, Colt, or GI gun grease. I’m just very curious and these thoughts come to mind.

I’ve seen in several military documentaries soldiers would band one magazine to the other where one would be upside down in the complete opposite orientation as the other. Is this technique effective? And if so what’s the correct way to band the magazines together with what material.

Wouldn’t we be better off to just have private citizens and private industries worry about these things on their own?

Let citizens have their own guns and rifles to take the law into their own hands (like the Wild West)…let citizens buy their own fire extinguishers and hoses from private entrepreneurs and the free market….let people have doctors that visit homes like in the old days and have people solve their illnesses on their own with their families using hot water in bathtubs….the FDA is a wasteful government agency as well…just let people inspect food from grocery stores and restaurant themselves when they open it….

Let’s take our country back people! Down with the government!

Guns given to Iraq forces are missing
Pentagon can’t find 190,000 rifles, pistols – some fear they may be in insurgents’ hands

(08-06) 04:00 PDT Washington — The Pentagon has lost track of about 190,000 AK-47 assault rifles and pistols given to Iraqi security forces in 2004 and 2005, according to a new government report, raising fears that some of those weapons have fallen into the hands of insurgents fighting U.S. forces in Iraq.

The report from the Government Accountability Office indicates that U.S. military officials do not know what happened to 30 percent of the weapons the United States distributed to Iraqi forces from 2004 through early this year as part of an effort to train and equip the troops. The highest previous estimate of unaccounted-for weapons was 14,000, in a report issued last year by the inspector general for Iraq reconstruction.

The United States has spent .2 billion trying to develop Iraqi security forces since 2003, the GAO said, including at least .8 billion to buy and deliver equipment. But the GAO said weapons distribution was haphazard and rushed and failed to follow established procedures, particularly from 2004 to 2005, when security training was led by Gen. David Petraeus, who now commands all U.S. forces in Iraq.

The Pentagon did not dispute the GAO findings, saying it has launched its own investigation and indicating it is working to improve tracking. Although controls have been tightened since 2005, the inability of the United States to track weapons with tools such as serial numbers makes it nearly impossible for the U.S. military to know whether it is battling an enemy equipped by U.S. taxpayers.

I’ve always wondered the answer to this question… If you have served in the U.S. Military and completed your service HONORABLY, do you get licenses that might be difficult for civilians to obtain for yourself? (Like the right to own/carry a handgun, last time i checked that was REALLY hard to obtain). It would make sense, right? You trained with one, you know about all the safety, you are a gun expert, you know how to do anything with one, and you were trusted with one in the defense of this nation. It just seems right. And does honorable military service also grant you the right/license to own a rifle/shotgun? I know you can’t keep your guns that you were issued because they are property of the U.S. Government, but can you be given to go off after your service and by your own guns (Handguns and Rifles/Shotguns)?

The military has been looking at the next generation rifle and caliber. Where does the 6.5 rank in the competition?

Share This

1) is there a 2011 M4 replacement competition

2) if so what are the competitors

3) are any proven 50% better than the M4

4) could any replace the M4 to justify the cost of all new rifles and train all of the soldiers

5) how many more years will we use the M4

6) if the M4 doesn’t get replaced when will the next competition be

Is there any way you can choose what type of weapons (I.e. Pistols, assault rifles, etc.) you get to use in combat? Like could you pick up an AK and use it throughout your campaign? Also, does anyone know if there have been any confirmed kills with a .22??

How do you report it to the armory and stuff?

If you get shot in the chest area with a 5.56x45mm NATO weapon(M16A2) 15-20 times from close range(30 cm chest-to-gun barrel) what are the chances of surviving?.The way to get it done is put the gun with the buttstock on the ground aim it to your chest and pull the trigger with the big toe of your foot.If you do survive can you be normal afterwards or will you have problems?
