The picture has a group of military police on the left and a group of protesters on the right. A male was placing floweres in the barrels of the rifles. I need to know where I cam get a copy of that photo.I think it was taken in the 1960’s
I have put one of these rifles on layaway and I am wondering what is your opinion about the Century Arms Galil rifle, a semi-auto clone of the IMI (Israel Military Industries) Galil rifle used in Israel. I have checked a lot of online forums, gun enthusiast chat rooms, and all I have heard is good things about it. What is your opinion about it and have your fired one, and is it really accurate? Thanks for sharing your answers.
In the state of Massachusetts, it takes the 7.62×54mmR round the same as the Mosin Nagants. Also is it worth getting one of these rifles?
Well what about the SVD Tigr hunting rifle I heard it was a lot more accurate then the military surplus rilfes.
That’s a very small caliber that does not do a whole lot of damage to the target. Why doesn’t the U.S. military uses rifles chambered in something like 30-06 or 7.62×51 NATO (as standard issue for ground infantry units)?
But I heard that 5.56 NATO is designed to maim an enemy soldier not kill him. Why doesn’t the U.S. military use rounds that are one-shot kills, like 30-06
I am looking into buying one of these rifles and, in all of my research, couldn’t find out if it is capable of firing a standard NATO round in addition to something like a .223 Remington. Thank you.
where infantry lines up to fire their rifles, then falls back to reload, while a new line takes their place?
I’ve heard this mostly in historical films used.
They would say something like, "The enemy has 1000 crack rifles facing against us" or "They were attacked by crack troops of the 4th division" something like that.
What does this term mean exactly?
Thank you.

Simple questions for anyone involved. What guns, both rifles and pistols are currently used in the US Military (mainly the Army)? Is there a difference in what the US Army SF / Special Forces carry? What are the differences between the civilian and military versons of these weaponds if any? Thanks in advance
What gun do you get first when you get into the Army?
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!
Students dressed in military fatigue, how I remember the sight during Sundays close-by where I used to live. I even remember them carrying wooden dummy-rifles. All they ever seem to do is march around and get exposed to the sun! Young guys getting yelled at, punched in the chest, made to do push-ups and spend half of what is supposed to be "family-day" in an oppen terrain wondering what they’re there for.
If the point in all of this is to prepare people for a real war scenario, then don’t you think what those poor "cadets" are doing is just a waste of time, sweat and money?
Hott-damn the internet connection here is dead-slow!
Thanks Isabel. Like Mr. White in "Resevoir Dogs"… I don’t smile for pictures.
With the obvious exception of that one…. and my graduation photo…. and my driver’s license.
Seriously folks, ever since they started to let the weaker sex into the military we have not been able to win a war. We did great in WW1 and WW2. But after that once they started to let more and more girls in, we have not done so well. Look at the military right now, bogged down by a bunch of 3rd world country heathens with home made bombs and 20 year old rifles.
Who else is with me on this? Our military has gone soft becuase of all the women in its ranks.
I want to be able to take a civilian course on marksmanship with rifles (bolt action, semiautomatic, automatic if possible), but i can’t find any. I live in Florida and I am hoping to find something local. I’m only fifteen, I understand that most places require you to be 18 years of age. I can wait, but if any don’t require you to be 18 or older that would be great. Thanks for your time.
I’m in the military and I was given a couple of rifles and a handgun when my grandfather pasted away. The guns have been stored with my father in nebraska for years because I have been stationed overseas. The guns are not registered that I know of and a couple are older. I would like to have them with me when I get stationed in Texas this summer.
I have heard that folks in the military are able to keep enemy weaponry that they had picked up during their time in combat. Within reason obviously, like sidearms and some rifles (AK’s, etc.). Is this true?
okay so after high school i want to join a military band. right now in my high school’s marching band im in the Colorguard, the color guard is a non-musical section that provides additional visual aspects to the performance. as in spinning flags, rifles, sabre’s and airblades. I would really like to know if there is either a marching band in the army, navy, marines etc that includes colorguard members.
When did the US Military stop using the state and company system in which everyone was from a particular city, region, or state (ex: 54th Massachusetts, 20th Maine, Missippii Rifles, etc)?
Before I deployed to Iraq out of Ft.Hood I bought a couple of rifles. I am still in Iraq,am active duty. When i get back can i still buy firearms like i used to before i went. To clarify I was able to go to the gun store and show my military ID and orders proving I am stationed in Texas. Is this still the norm for military buyers at gun stores? Do all gun stores do this. Will i be still able to go with my orders and id card and buy firearms?
Whats this i hear about having to get CHL just to buy a handgun? I have no intention on concealed carrying mine. Don’t you just have to be 21 to buy a handgun. I heard of a waiting period now too.
I am looking for some good songs for my witnerguard/colorguard team, military theme, please.
If it helps, the uniforms are going to be camo pants and black and white shirts…. the equipment will be (hopefully) a mud brown floor mat, camo rifles and black and whit flags.
NOT talking about class III firearms. Just regular hand guns and rifles. I want to know if I would still have to pay a fee to get a gun license if I’m (which I’m not) serving in the military.
It’s not like we go around saying your careers are stupid and immoral. And it seems to me that all the people who do bash it all think we’re a bunch of dumb grunts running around with rifles. That’s not true, some of the smartest and most civilized people in history had military backgrounds.
We were told just last month how bad it was for US military to be using rifles with Biblical references stamped on them. It seems our enemies might get offended. So are we now to believe that having openly gay service people will be more acceptable to the Muslim fundamentalist?
ok lets say your the president of a small country like sri lanka or Lebanon and you had 17 billion dollars to spend on your military this is money apart from your national budget maybe donated from various countries what would you spend it on?
Here what i would do:
100 mig 29’s 50 million each 5 billion
8 navy frigates 250 million each 2 billion
500 Leopard 2 tanks 5 million each 2.5 billion
25 gazelle helicopters 500 million
2 billion for armored vehicles and rifles vests etc.
And the rest of the 5 billion will go towards anti missile defenses really big guns and bonuses for the troops.
please no body answer this question by telling me that it should be spent on food or the homeless etc… i like military hardware and this is a military topic so please if your not gunna answer the question with something related to the question than dont answer
I have a french Gras rifle, 11 mm in great shape with the bayonet. I understand that very few of these rifles exhist without the M80 modification. Mine has not been modified. How much is this rifle worth?
