What is the best grouping you can get on a target when fiting an assault rifle?

March 29th, 2010 by eranio

Hi

I’m sure most of us have seen the picture of, I think it was a british soldier, whose Kevlar helmet stopped 3 AK 47 rounds in Iraq. I tried telling this to a guy a work but he wouldn’t believe me…even thought there is a picture on the internet to prove it. In his own words he says that"it violates the laws of physics" to get a grouping of about 3 bullets in about a 10 inch square area or so..maybe a bit more. To me it doesn’t seem so far fetcher..but i have never been in the military. It was an AK that fired the rounds, but he’s is trying to tell me that NO machine gun of any type can get such a close grounping..even on 3 round burst. So..I want some solid facts to take back to work and prove him wrong. Some links or real data would be great. Thanks.

Serious question: why are all the "black rifles" (AR-15, which is the semi auto ver of M-16) so back ordered?

March 23rd, 2010 by eranio

AR-15 is the civilian version of the U.S. Military primary rifle, the M-16. Of course the AR-15 is not a machine gun like the 16, it only fires semi auto. Anyway I have been looking at them for a while and have decided to purchase one of the higher (maybe the highest? Knight’s Armament) end versions. From checking with all the high end (tier 3) manufacturers and many of the lower tier too, everyone is way back ordered. That really surprised me….American citizens seem to be arming themselves to the teeth…it kind of made me wonder why?

aahhh the messiah…i guess I knew that…is this guy horrible or what? Is he even a real American?
loving, according to the feds, any gun that when the trigger is pulled is capable of firing more that one bullet, is a machine gun….btw I’m a former U.S. Marine and as such am very familar with full auto weapons

What branch of the military should I join?

March 18th, 2010 by eranio

At first I just wanted to join the army for the sweet hunting clothes. But now I figure if I join the military, I want to fly jets, shoot cool machine guns, and drive tanks. I also want my own Hummer with the machine gun on top of the roof.
What branch should I join if I want to fly jets, shoot cool guns and drive tanks? And don’t forget I want a hummer.

In the United States military, how is it decided what weapon or job a soldier in a squad has on the field?

March 7th, 2010 by eranio

Some soldiers might have a rifle, but others might have a sub-machine gun or a machine gun or a sniper rifle. And some people assist the officers, use a radio, or carry ammunition for a bigger weapon. When is this decided and on what guidelines for each?

What is the best and most accurate AEG assault rifle(s) for $100-$150.?

February 25th, 2010 by eranio

I want a good AEG assault rifle but I want it to be fairly accurate instead of a spray-and-pray type sub-machine gun. Also I don’t want anything terribly expensive. Please add a good reference for reviews and a purchasing source to your suggestion(s). Thank you.

Firearms Collectors Permit in New York State?

January 25th, 2010 by eranio

Does anyone know if federal or New York state law allows for a permit for the possession of firearms which are normally considered prohibited, if they can be considered historical artifacts? Example: Fully automatic weapons are prohibited except to law enforcement & military; can someone own a WWI or WWII machine gun in full working order, based on historical significance?

Is there/Could there be a .338 Lapua Magnum Machine gun in the military?

January 14th, 2010 by eranio

I’ve heard some people say that a .338 Lapua Magnum machine gun would be unfeasible because of a] the weight of the gun, b] the weight of the bullet, and c] the recoil of the gun in sustained fully automatic fire [i.e muzzle climb]. Is there such a thing as a .338 Lapua Magnum Machine gun in the military? If not, is it feasible to produce one for infantry use?

Why is it a private “military”/contracor force can own military weaponry including assault weapons?

January 12th, 2010 by eranio

In the 1986 machine gun ban it states that a civilian can not own an assault weapon made after 1986 and yet companies like Blackwater, that are civilian companies, can.

Do soldiers in the US military pick their own weapons/gear?

January 6th, 2010 by eranio

Ok, I was always wondering this so now I am going to ask. If you are a soldier in the Army or marines, when you get deployed into the middle east and go into combat, do you pick what your primary weapon is,(like a SAW machine gun, the m4 or m16) the mods on the gun, and how your gear is arranged?(such as the vest magazine pouches and things like that.) Or do the commanders or whoever is in charge of that stuff do it all for you.

What is the difference, if any, between a machine gun and an assault rifle?

November 17th, 2009 by eranio

Are these two terms interchangable?

It seems as if many people, for some reason, refer to the AK-47 as an ‘assault rifle’- but it is also a machine gun (when on fully automatic).

Do assault rifle and machine gun have the same meaning?

What is the definition of assault rifle?

November 9th, 2009 by eranio

I have seen many definitions.

One is that it is a weapon that can switch between semi-automatic and fully automatic fire. But, a Thompson sub-machine gun can also do this and it is not an assault rifle it is a submachinegun. Another definition is that it fires an intermediate round, something between a rifle round and a pistol round. An AR-15 fires an intermediate round and it is just a semiautomatic rifle that looks "mean"….I don’t consider it an assault rifle, it is just a semi-automatic rifle to me.

The phrase seems bogus to me. It seems that whenever someone wants to make a gun look "bad" they call it "assault rifle". "Assault" also means "attack" so it also seems like the definition depends on what you are using it for. You could assault someone with any rifle…does that mean a bolt action .22 cricket is an assault rifle too?

I feel that if there is no definite defintion that everyone honors and that we should just make up a new term and scrap "assault rifle".
I pretty much have a good idea of what they are, the definition dosn’t seem to be rock hard to me though. A lot of people seem to like to distort it into being something it isn’t. I tihnk we should make a new term and first thing make an accurate definition. Assault Rifle was supposedly coined by Hitler and was not really defined at the time of it’s making thus allowing for all manner of interpretations. I know several people who thing my SKS is an assult rifle just because because it has a bayonet, a grenade launcher and looks kind-of-ish-like an AK-47.

I just think Assault Rifle has been too over used, over defined and has just become a bad phrase.
Now select fire can’t be right because the MP43/44 is only semi-auto and full-auto. There is no burst fire mode. If we make it have 3 fire modes the original assault rifle will no longer be an assault rifle. If we count 2 fire modes things like Thompson’s will be assault rifles and they are not rifles. I find that every option contradicts itself in some way….this is a very complex problem, we are trying to undo 60 years of error.
