Which defense company would be the best stable investment?

September 24th, 2010 by eranio

For firearms, my guess is HK, because they seem to have a wider product range that proves popular with military customers (G36, 416, etc.)
I don’t know much about aerospace, I only know of Lockheed Martin, although they seem to be doing good.

Also, would private military contractors like Blackwater, or Xe as they now call themselves, be a good investment? How about DynCorp?

Ignore the username "Osama Bin laden", I just use that to troll the politics section.

Why are US military weapons foreign made?

April 6th, 2010 by eranio

Most small arms in service with the US military are foreign made.

FN (Belgian company)- M249 SAW, M240, M16, Browning m2
Beretta (Italy)- M9
Benelli (Italy)- M1014 shotgun
HK (Germany)- USP, MP5, HK416

My question is, why is Europe making our guns? Shouldn’t we? We could easily make just as good of a product.
BTW, I put browning m2 in FN, because FN owns browning
No actually I dont know why. A glock lacks a safety.
Colt still makes the M4. They sold the m16 design to Fabrique Nacional (FN)
