I was wondering what the best gun so far at least is best to limit the use to even replace the M16/M4 Assault Rifle for the US Military. I know the XM8 Assault Rifle was stopped being developed in 2005. I also know that the SCAR-H/SCAR-L Assault Rifle is being tested or in somewhat to decent use by the US Army Ranger 75th Regiment. I know that the Bushmaster/Remington ACR (Adaptive Combat Rifle) is being developed ( at least that was what it said when I goolged searched several sites about the ACR at least a month ago) and might soon enter testing when completed if still being developed. Also I know there are other guns that might be tested and maybe come into limited use like maybe the M416 I think and that there is also the light machine gun in use by the US Military which I think is called the M249 Light Machine Gun.

P.S. can you tell me if the SCAR-H/SCAR-L is in use and if it is the US Army Ranger 75th Regiment offically using it and using it instead or the M16/M4 or at least around half and half for both guns and also can you tell me if the ACR is still being developed and if it is not being developed is it rejected and forgotten like the XM8 Assault Rifle or is it being tested and maybe in limited to decent usage by the US Military.

I don’t care if you take it from a civilian or military perspective, I’m just curious. There are a million m-4′s, AR-15, now there are SCARs, the US military is looking at XM8′s right now, Bushmaster just came out with the ACR, every gun company under the sun has their version of an m4/ar15. If money is no issue, what are the pros and cons of all these straight out of the box? (feel free to add any other 5.56 nato round shooting assault rifles)
Reading the first answer I got maybe I’m not being clear. Yeah no crap about full auto not being legal, I’m not retarded, I’m not 12, I own several firearms of my own. I’m trying to find out the major pros, cons, and differences of all these new assault rifles that are on the market and that are coming out.
Ahem, once again, reading some of the answers, this is not about ammo, this is about guns, thanks
Reading more answers…..I’m NOT asking "What is an assault rifle?" I’m DO KNOW that I cannot get full auto…thanks

Are they worried that sonic weapons will be used on US soil and citizens, is this why they are up for cuts in the military.

Do Tranquilizer Rounds exist for use in regular or slightly modified firearms? It is for Law Enforcement/Military applications (possibly hunting). I need to know and what guns have special tranquilizer rounds/which guns can be modified for using tranquilizer rounds. I would like to have detailed information (pictures & diagrams of the round(s) and or the gun(s) that use tranquilizing agents) but anything that can help would be useful.

Both are on airsplat. I was looking for a review of the guns. Thanks a lot. I will award 10 points to the answer which has a review of either or both guns. Thank you very much for your time.

lock her up too.
I see we have a couple of yahoos who think I am anti-gun. Not the case, I have about a dozen guns, rifles, shotguns, pistols. And I got my 1st gun at 10 or 11 yrs or so. Sorry to sink your boat. We’re talking a 9mm assault rifle, not a .22 or a .410, which is what a 14 y/o may be responsible enough to handle. Take a look at the cache they found in his bedroom. You gonna tell me mama didn’t know that stuff was there? And what did she thin he was going to do with it? A 14 y/o DOES NOT need that kind of stuff, period. Anyone who would argue that his is an ok situation is either really out of touch with reality or just arguing to be a smartass.
oh, yes, I am a parent, to a 14 y/o & a 17 y/o. Both know how to hangle a weapon, but have access to light firearms, when I unlock the cabinet.

Both of these guns include scopes. Also I am a beginner air soft sniper and want the best but cheapest rifle.

Standing in Walmart today, I was reading a gun magazine left by the cash register.

In the magazine, there was literal ‘flood’ of articles and advertisments, most full-page, of military-style rifles. LOTS of various scopes, some flashlights, and a variety of accessories. Very few guns.

Reading that, I assume that in the military, most of your targets are a distance away. But what about fighting in towns and cities. A handgun, or the rifle with all the accessories?

Ive been looking at several different Paintball "sniper" rifles online and I’m just not sure which ones are good I have a tip man 98 custom and I know those are always good and reliable. All i need is some more input on some different guns and maybe some websites or links.
P.S I would like to have one that comes with the kit like a scope and maybe a bi pod that kind of stuff =)

Thank You

I have seen all of these shows that show the futuristic weapons that have been developed, but are we actually using them? I am talking about the things that you see on "Future Weapons" like the soldier carried UAV, metal storm, remote controlled robots with mounted guns, etc. Has anyone here that has been in Iraq or Afganistan actually used any of these future weapons? Are any of these things actually being used by the military today, and which ones?
Also, if these things are being used are the basic ground soldiers using them or are they just being used for special operations.

I know this is a bad category but I don’t think there is one for guns or if its actually possible in real life.

First, if your just going to say "take away the 2nd amendment, its outdated" don’t bother answering this question. Like EVERYONE says, if guns were outlawed only outlaws would have guns, then how do stop a person in your home to injure your family? Ask them to stop? This isn’t Russia. What will happen if Obama is voted in (besides us all moving to Canada)? Is there a real possibly of the 2nd amendment taken away? What would happen to us all who have firearms legally now? Will the military just go door to door basically taking guns?
Yeah, im a redneck because i go to the gun range an care if my family lives or dies by some thug wanting easy money….

Just curious. Instead of using a M40 or 50 Cal or something, is it possible to snipe with a bow or a crossbow?

Snipe = sharpshooter
All definitions of sniper don’t have anything about guns.

This bill has been floating around now for a couple weeks and I saw another story today on it and how its making an appearance on the hill. HR45 would make the "assault" rifle ban in 94 by Clinton look like a walk in the park. Assault rifles would not be banned for several years like before, they would be banned permanently. You would have to have an FFL in order to legally own a firearm in HR45. How would the government go about confiscating legal firearms from tax paying, ex military, clean record Americans? Liberals may ask, why do you need an assault rifle, why do you need guns, its not a matter of need or want, but of the God given right provided to all US citizens by the constitution. If two men can get married, or a woman can have an abortion, why cant I protect my family from a possible threat? Why does this administration want to take away the right to defend ourselves? Obama has already said that he will not weaponize space, he will cut our nuclear arsenal, and now he wants to take away our guns….somethings fishy here.

Hi, I am really into guns and I was thinking about getting a job at a military weapons factory (in other words a factory that produces class 3 weapons). In order to have a decent position (,000 or more per year), what major would I have to take while in college? Do any of you guys work for gun manufacturers? What are your experiences?

So i was watching the history channel and saw some soldiers do some training exercises and saw a squared shaped orange object at the end of the guns. The guns even looked like they were being fired and whatnot. Does anyone know what exactly what that was. I know it wasn’t just a airsoft gun with a orange tip, looked like it stopped the bullets or something of that nature.

Section 311, Title 10, United States Code (a) The militia of the United States consists of all ablebodied males at least 17 years of age and, except as provided in section 313 of title 32, under 45 years of age who are, or who have made a declaration of intention to become, citizens of the United States and of female citizens of the United States who are commissioned officers of the National Guard.

Based on this, could it be argued that everyone fitting this criteria who does not own at least one firearm suitable for military use is in dereliction of duty?

Note: I am pro-Second Amendment, and have no problem with people owning assault weapons.
Sprint383, I never said that ONLY people who fall under the militia category should be allowed to own guns. I simply asked whether people who fit the criteria should be REQUIRED to own them.

I am not new to guns in general. I have a .243 Remiginton 700 and my dad owns few rifles as well, but I dont know much when it comes to civilian assault rifles.

What would you recommend as a first assault rifle?
Penelope…Not the point here, thats a whole different argument. And CIVILIAN actually notates a certain version of an assault rifle, so its not an oxymoron.

Group A: People who go to licensed dealers and gun show and purchase their firearms where they are registered with the federal authorities. They obtain permits to carry concealed firearms after hours of safety training and hundreds of rounds of practice fire and after intense scrutiny into their criminal record. They spend hundreds and even thousands of dollars on high end firearms and ammunition that is held to the highest level of quality and safety control. They spend hundreds of hours and countless rounds of ammunition a year at the range. Some are former law enforcement and military personnel. They are some of the safest firearms operators on the planet. They purchase their weapons for hunting, sport, to exercise their God given right, and to assure the safety and well being of themselves, their loved ones, and their property. What they DO NOT do is perform drive-bys, knock off Seven-Elevens, mug people, and commit murder. For that matter they don’t commit hardly any type of crime because they have to maintain their permits to CCW.

Group B: People who commit murder, perform drive-bys, knock off Seven-Elevens, mug people, and generally have little to no regard for the law. What they DO NOT do is purchase their guns from licensed vendors or register them with law enforcement. They do not purchase high end equipment and ammunition from reputable dealers. They do not obtain legal permits to carry concealed weapons. They do not go through training in weapons use and safety. They do not go through any kind of screening process to weed out criminals (because that’s what they are). They purchase their fireams for any one of the aforementioned reasons

You still with me?

Now, using gun grabber logic, you can stop and prevent Group B from committing all the terrible things they do by taking guns away from Group A.

If you disagree, then please enlighten me.
