List of combat sniper rifles and assault rifles. Where can I find a list of such?

February 24th, 2010 by eranio

I am writing a book and I want to find a list of the best sniper and assault combat rifles. Can anyone help me out?
I know of the Ak-47, but I’ve never heard of the 196 modle. Or is it an I96?
Also, something modern. Either that or give me a site where I can see how to make a good military grade combat rifle. Sniper and assault rifle. Also, handguns as well. I’m doing alot of research on gun models and how to’s and things like that. And yes, the Ak-47 is a great gun, but I don’t know just how modern it is. I need something more modern if possible.

What is a good book with a lot of information on guns?

February 17th, 2010 by eranio

By this I mean stats and information on the operation of Handguns, Rifles, and Shotguns: Military, Hunting and Citizen Owned. I already know the basics of firearms but would like to learn more about specific guns themselves. And any other books on Firearms would be greatly appreciated if listed! Thank you!

Question for military and firearm experts?

February 7th, 2010 by eranio

If you were in battle fighting for your life would it matter much if your weapon was an AR-15 instead of an M-16?

For those that don’t know, an AR-15 was initially manufactured from Colt who also makes the M-16. Many parts of the AR-15 are interchangable with an M-16. The M-16 has a selector switch allowing single, full auto and three shot burst. If you are isolated from your supply you will have limited ammunition which you are carrying on your back. Using full auto will deplete your ammo in a fraction of the time than using single shot mode. Are you seriously going to use full auto at a rate of 1200 rounds per minute with a few hundred rounds you are carrying? There is a philosophy on handguns that if you got six shots you make them count but if you have a large magazine you are not concerned as much about each shot because you can keep pulling the trigger as a result having a much higher miss ratio

So would it really matter to you if you had an AR-15 or an M-16?

What is the current most expensive production assault rifle, submachine gun, and handgun?

January 30th, 2010 by eranio

I am inquiring as to which firearms for use in the military by infantry currently hold the title as the world’s most expensive.

Examples of assault rifles – http://world.guns.ru/assault/as00-e.htm

Examples of submachine guns – http://world.guns.ru/smg/smg00-e.htm

Examples of handguns – http://world.guns.ru/handguns/hg00-e.htm

I am only trying to find the most expensive guns in these three particular categories. They do not have to be found in the above pages, they simply have to have the highest current market value in their respective categories.

Lastly, I do not own a gun presently and am not affiliated with the military or law enforcement agencies. I simply wish to have this information for my own personal reference.

To all people willing to answer this question for me, thank you in advance for your time and cooperation. Have a nice day.

Where can I obtain a sniper rifle for the purposes of filming sitcom scene? ?

December 21st, 2009 by eranio

Here’s the thing.

I live in the United Kingdom and most firearms are illegal. Rifles, sniper rifles and handguns are all illegal.

I am arranging a scene to be filmed in which somebody puts together a sniper rifle and starts to shoot people. I was wondering if anyone would know where I would be able to get hold of a sniper rifle and a few rounds of blanks?

Can people in the military modify their weapons/gear?

December 9th, 2009 by eranio

Are they allowed to customize their rifles or buy their own handguns, and knives and what not? Or do they have to use whats issued to them?

If no then why are guns and accessories (Hi-cap mags, etc.) commonly sold for "military use"?
How can someone buy "military use only" gear if their not in the military? You don’t know what you’re talking about do you?

There are restrictions on certain things (Hi-Cap mags, certain weapons, etc.) that you need a military ID to purchase…Duh.

Why are gun sales soaring? Gun retailers can’t keep up inventory of military guns and assault weapons…why?

November 17th, 2009 by eranio

Gun sales have been soaring since 2007, and they are still increasing. Military guns and assault weapons in particular are selling like hot cakes… why do you think?

" "We sold out of small handguns yesterday," Barry adds. "Since the election, several models of guns are six months to a year back-ordered."

The models Walker is referring to – the ones that gun makers can’t make enough of – are military-style weapons. During the Clinton administration, Congress passed a ban on these so-called assault weapons, making it illegal for civilians to own them. The Bush administration allowed this ban to expire in 2004. For the past five years, assault weapons have been flooding the market.

The economy’s bad. People are losing their jobs. Most first-time gun buyers are scared. People are scared of armed robbery. That’s why they’re buying guns. That reaches deeper than the Clinton or Obama plan. That’s a social issue." "

What would Private military contractors do with an assault rifle ban?

November 15th, 2009 by eranio

Since they are classified as civilians, if there is another assault rifle ban how will they be able to get their weapons? will they have to use handguns and hunting rifles or what?

As far as handguns go. Is it necessary to replace that firing pin too?
