If not the M4, then what gun for the military?

September 4th, 2010 by eranio

The article indicates that the M4 has been failing at the worst times during heated battles. If so, then what gun should our military be issued?
@shadow: would an AK fail under similar circumstances?
The Galil combines reliability and accuracy.

is the m4 still the best all around assault rifle?

August 22nd, 2010 by eranio

if not counting reliability, is it still the best because of its direct gas impingement related accuracy?

What is the most accurate civilian accessible semi-auto rifle?

July 16th, 2010 by eranio

I am in the market for a semiautomatic rifle that could fill the position of a sniper rifle. I would like it to be military grade(reliability) with high knockdown power. Now obviously i am not expecting the pin-point accuracy of a real conventional sniper rifle. The reason i am asking is because i want a rifle where i can mount it with a maybe 4-24 or 6-28 sight for pretty long distance shots but i want the gun to also be able to work as a combat rifle(hence the semi-auto)

What do Americans look for in a handgun?

June 18th, 2010 by eranio

It could be you personally, but I would like to know what have historically been the features of handguns that make them preferred by the military, law enforcement, and your average firearm owner. I’m looking for things like, "pointablitity", balance, weight, concealment, cost, reliability, consistency, ease of maintenance, maybe the ability to customize. What has really sold it to the American public, and why?
Thanks everyone, keep them coming!! I’m not so much looking for a handgun personally, as the best overall balance of all the traits and what balance has made a gun popular historically.

What is the reason for making so many different AR style rifles in .223, or 5.56?

April 9th, 2010 by eranio

What is the source of their popularity? I know one guy who owns a gun chambered in .223, and from what he’s told me, the only advantage to the round is expense, a .222, 22-250, or 25-06 will outshoot it. Do these guns just trade on looks, or is there an inherent advantage to the AR platform and the .223 round? I have an SKS, not the greatest gun in the world, but the ammo is incredibly cheap, and it is about the most reliable semi-auto action available. I know some people call 7.62×39 underpowered, but to me the reliability and expense make up for any and all deficiencies, if there are any. So I’m not dumping on surplus or military style guns- I know that for a multi-purpose gun, you absolutely can’t beat surplus guns. But it seems as though a quarter to half of the new semi-auto rifles in catalogues are AR in .223. The rounds not underpowered, and I’m sure they’re very accurate, but why so many of the exact same design? Especially since the action isn’t the most reliable.

What are some good military surplus rifles?

November 5th, 2009 by eranio

I’m looking to fill my gun cabinet with a few surplus rifles(mostly target shooting and maybe varmint hunting). When I think of surplus rifles I think of the mosin nagant, kar98, springfield, lee enfield, sks, ak47, and other popular military rifles. I want reliability, cheap ammunition, and decent/good accuracy. Whats my best bet? I would like to pay between 0-0 for each rifle.
