Best assault rifle in the wolrd ... wich is it ? You have a big ammount to choose from BUT , elements like price , rate of fire , penetration capability and cost should be considered . You don't have to use the exact data if you don't bother to .
Please enlighten me with your thoughts !

Muhahaha , luckely for me i live in Norway so FBI won't get me here hehe :D , i can flee to Russia and buy weapons there :yes:
AK-101(Assault Rifle) a close combat version of it wich is used by FSB ( Federal Security Bureau/Department ) and Alpha team wich is Russian anti terrorist squad . Firing 600 rounds per minute and with adition of teflon bullets , it can penetrate any body armor out there . Range of effective sighted fire is 1000 meters :D . If you add laser sighting to it ehehe It becomes one of the most lethal assault rifles out there . It is also very very very cheap :D

According to the numbers, the AK-47 is the most used combat weapon ever.

It's a simple mechanic, and it works evidentially ;)

atolla

correct , and it's cheaper then AK-101 though it's capabilities are also largerly reduced

IF I recall correctly, the build order the russians gave to the engineer is something along the lines of:

"We need a weapon we can burry for 10 years, dig up, assemble and use. Also every idiot must be capable of using/maintaining it".

The rifle is quite simple, has no "extra's" and is amazingly accurate for a weapon of its size and usage.

If its the best gun, I don't know. But it surely is a good gun for a lot of purposes.

The danish version of the Colt Commando rifle upgraded with optical aiming scope and new barrel is by far the best weapon I tried in the army.

We call it a "Colt M95/M96", the M96 is the same weapon but with a shorter barrel (and thus slightly more inaccurate) and foldable end piece, for use by tank personnel and special forces. There also exist a sniper version with a very long barrel and a light machine gun version of this weapon. For the light machine gun version the techies had to actually move the front support legs back since else the weapon was too accurate for a light machine gun, where you do want the projectiles to spread out a bit. :D

The reason I see the Colt M95 as the best weapon, is mainly its stability. You can litterally pour as much mud and debris into this rifle as you wish, and still it will continue firing. Furthermore it has next to no recoil at all, makes little noise, and is extremely accurate, both at short ranges and longer ranges.

In training while I was in le army I saw both danish and american navy Sea-Air-Land (SEAL) teams use versions of this weapon, and since these units are very picky when it comes to weapons, it speaks of the high quality of this particular piece.

Ive also tried rifles and small arms from a few other companies, but really Colt beats everythng, even legendary H&K. So, if I was to choose a single rifle to take with me into whatever situation, this would be the one.

:D

The only weapon I can imagine coming close to the Colt would be the AK-47, it has the power and the reliability, but it lacks accuracy.

Also the AK-47 uses 7.62MM and thus will propbably kill a man with a hit anywhere in the upper body, whereas the Colt uses 5.56MM (NATO Standard), which will mostly only severely injure an enemy, which is overall smarter in war. (A severely injured soldier is bad for morale since he will scream, will require people to transport away, and at least one medic/doc to attend to. A dead solider doesn't scream, and can just be left at the spot, thus he won't strain the enemy's logistics.)

If you do want a guy dead, the Colt is accurate enough for you to decide to shoot in the upper chest or head, which will instantly kill.

25-02-2003, 17:07
AK47 offcourse, atleast if you don't fire it in to long periods. The heating of the barrel makes is less reliable then :S

Lantador
25-02-2003, 17:11
One shot at a time is the way to go anyway with rifles, even with light machine guns you always try to keep your firing at 3-5 projectiles pr. burst maximum, and always at 3 if you're a good shooter, else you get both low accuracy, and a quickly overheated barrel.

There is also a bad side to this as an injured soldier still can shoot =) I think a mix of both weapons would be lethal thou

with a 7.62mm gun, you dont need to bother if the enemy has kevlar, or hides behind a tree :)

I shot with the Norwegian AG3 (based upon the German HK G-3), and its basicly a hand cannon.

what you really want is some sort of sniper rifle, Dragonov or the exelent Barret one.

In my opinion the AK-47 is one of the best Assault rifles. It is the most widely used assault rifle. The Russian is better than the Chinese version due to the simple fact that the Russian model can be converted to a fully automatic rifle alot easier. Its cheap to produce and easy to sell just look at Nations of Africa and the Middle east. They mostly use AK-47.

Theres been many improvements on the AK like a small scoop placed under the barrel to prevent the recoil that plagued its Rate of Fire and accuracy.

Anyways

If u want a hand cannon try the Browning 12.7 MM Heavy Machine Gun (Infantry Version). It's used in the danish infantry groups, cuz they like to carry 50 kilo tripod mounted guns around (heh). Its also used mounted on APC's and many types of tanks.

Anyway, it pwns anything from personel to APC's, and its mad fun to shoot (I've tried it). :D

The Dragonov or the Barret 0.50 (12.7MM) can hardly be called assault rifles, they're more like moveable tank barrels really, cuz omg they shoot fucking hard. I've seen the barret demonstrated to shoot tank mines from 600 meters away. :D

The Barret can hit targets at 1500 meters.. thats pretty nice :)
Also with a 12.7mm multipurpose bullet (with norway makes, and is "kinda" forbidden to use against people), your sure to kill any human beeing if you just hit somewhere in the chest

Indeed you can kill , but i think each bullet adds an exstra cost wich doesn't make this weapon widely used in big operations

New .50 Magnum can kill a bear


AP - Smith & Wesson has introduced its biggest handgun ever, a .50-calibre Magnum that can kill a bear.

The five-shot revolver with an 8 1/2 inch (23cm) barrel weighs about 4 1/2 pounds (2kg) - roughly a pound (450g) more than the big black .44 Magnum wielded by Clint Eastwood in the Dirty Harry movies.

It fires a new .50-calibre cartridge that the company said produces nearly three times the muzzle energy of the .44 - or enough stopping power to bring down a charging bear.

"The primary market for it is hunting big game," spokesman Ken Jorgensen said.

Steve Comus, publications director of the Safari Club International, said he expects Smith & Wesson to sell several thousand of the weapons to sportsmen interested in hunting with handguns.




Some questioned the wisdom of producing a more powerful handgun.

"It boggles the mind," said Tom Ortiz, executive director of the Violence Policy Centre. He predicted the new Magnum would create "a new order of threat to law enforcement."

Smith & Wesson first brought out the .44 Magnum in the 1950s.

The new gun, which sells for $US989 ($A1,660), is one of nine models Smith & Wesson introduced this week at a trade show in Orlando, Florida.

President Roy C. Cuny said it was the largest number of new introductions in recent years.

The introduction of the big gun marks a sharp departure for the 150-year-old company, which for the past five years has concentrated on the development of lightweight revolvers using alloys of rare metals.

Among the other new guns being introduced by Smith & Wesson is the industry's lightest ever: a .44 Magnum that has a 4-inch (10cm) barrel, scandium frame and titanium cylinder, and weighs in at 1 pound, 10 1/2 ounces (750g).

"We see this as an opportunity for backpackers," Cuny said. "A light firearm of this caliber, in fact, provides protection against bears and other big things."

Despite a spike following the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Centre and Pentagon, handgun sales have long been on the decline in the United States, and Smith & Wesson has struggled along with other gunmakers.

But Smith & Wesson, long the industry leader, also lost business in recent years after striking a deal with the Clinton administration in 2000 to install safety locks on all its guns and change its marketing practices.

Other gunmakers decided not to follow Smith & Wesson's lead, and gun advocates accused the company of selling out.

In 2001, the ailing gunmaker was sold by its British owner to an Arizona startup company that all but abandoned the agreement with the government and adopted an aggressive and unapologetic marketing stance.

Take in mind that with that calibre it doesnt really matter a lot WHERE you hit them.. as long as you manage to hit them. And most of those weapons aren't that inaccurate. Especially the desert eagle. Its huge, cumbersome and totally unpractical and therefore an typical american weapon but, i have to admit, it is pretty accurate for its calibre.

The recoil aint that bad either :D

28-02-2003, 01:37
hm i wonder what you all are talking about , a weapon is deadly , it doesnt really matter which calibre , its not like it is in the film where the good hero gets shot in the arm , takes out his sock, wraps it around his arm and fights the evil.

Most people dont die of the direct weapon impact , they simply die of shock

I bet you wouldnt care much whether you have been hit by a deagle or a .32 ladykiller , both are equally lethal , maybe the deagle will do 2 holes , but i promise you will have better things to think of that particular moment .

And if you get a chest hit , and theres no emergency response team sitting right the next table , both weapons will kill you.

This isnt entirely true. Altho I admit that it wont go as in movies I know of numeral occasions were a guy managed to run away after he was shit in the shoulder. This usually happens when one is hit by "low impact" bullets. IE: relatively slow, big bullets.. strange as it might seem, the bullet pushes the organs out of the way instead of piercing them.. (if yer VERY lucky). This is the one advantage big bullets have.

Smaller bullets tend to pierce more. but its a smaller hole. a small hit in the shoulder really wont stop you. If there isnt much bloodloss, that is.

We are talking about normal bullets here. As soon as we get to the "frazed hollow point" ones I prefer not being the test victim.

Altho I completely agree with steam here, I must add that there are numerous occasions in which the impossible happens and people surive 12 chest-shots.. usually they die of 1 tho :)

You have to put your eye so close to the scope; wouldn't the recoil knock your eye out? Or is there hardly any recoil on those.......this has always baffled me.

if these guns don't have much recoil, why doesn't someone design some badass gun that has super accuracy and like no recoil.

Another Question: Do is there any advantage to using bolt action as opposed to semi?

Lantador
31-03-2003, 16:44
Regarding the sniper rifles, then theres a reason the part of the scope you put your eye into is made of rubber.

Theres also a reason you hold it hard against your shoulder when you fire it.

But when I was in the army I still saw recruits exit the firing range with bleeding eyebrows after playing with weapons, especially with the Heckler & Koch 7.26mm rifles, since they have a lot of recoil.

sa 80
ok, its the only rifle i used except .22 cadet rifles. but iam 20, a student in the uk and have only been in the cadets...

all i can say is that the sa 80's design just felt right, light enough, x3 sight as standard making it quite damn accurate for an assault rifle. also the 'bull pup' (spelling?) degign, (cartrage behind the trigger) just feels betta than the standard layout of a rifle.

just my 2cents

if they have got the reliability sorted out on the latest version then it has to be concidered as one of the best.

Theres also a reason you hold it hard against your shoulder when you fire it.

But when I was in the army I still saw recruits exit the firing range with bleeding eyebrows after playing with weapons, especially with the Heckler & Koch 7.26mm rifles, since they have a lot of recoil.

:)

7.26mm?

I got a slightly bad cheek after shooting with the HK G3.. Probably becouse I got quite long arms, and should have gotten a longer "elbow part".

i guess i wasn't thinking about bracing the rifle against your shoulder....duh <someone smack me>

sure automatics are nice, but i prefer shotguns :) your aim doesn't have to be so good to shoot someone with those

Wtf good will a shotgun do you if you spot an enemy at 300 meters and he has a rifle, and he spots you as well?

aye, thats why I would prefer a G-3 or a M-16 instead of a MP5 in real combat.

:=) couldnīt agree with you more :=)

And Blyr, the post was about rifleīs, assult even, but anyway.
Shotguns are best used indoors, with small narrow turns and short corridors ( hope i spelled that right )

I don't agree.

The single use shotguns has in any army aspect, is blowing in doors when doing "house cleaning".

Indoors, in buildings, vs personnel, a H&K MP5 with a Maglite or similar is preferred by virtually any western AT and special unit.

Its light, can be hung around ur neck and will thus be at ur chest so you can climb/jump/fastrope and so forth, its accurate at short ranges, you can use the Maglite as aim in darkness (and to "flash" enemies), you can clip two magazines together, and it has 3-shot burst capability, which is ideal, plus it will penetrate fragmentation armor at short ranges.

Also I'm not sure how to explain it in english, but you can have a bullet "ready" in the chamber, which will go off just by pulling the trigger without the moving peice having to go back and forward again.

hmm...yes ofc...thereīs alot of weapons better used indoors then a shotgun, what ever shotgun you use.

But, my point was from the use of a shotgun.
THE SHOTGUN is better used indoors then outdoors :)

and that you would agree on, right ?
:yes:

the use of shotguns nowadays mainly is for counter terrorist missions in civilian areas, they don t want a rifle bullet travelling a mile down the road and maybe hitting some civilian. And ofc for hunting/sport they are teh best hunting weapon of all time.

I seriously doubt any CT unit would use a shotgun to avoid bullets travelling too far. First of all most CT units usually hit what they shoot at, and secondly it would be too big a disadvantage.

Agree, a bullet from a MP5 fx doesnt travel that far. Assualt rifles with 7.92mm caliber shots trough houses though, but they are not ideal in house-to-house fighting, specially if the houses are made of concrete or something similar.

Theres special types of bullets made for house cleansing operations, which "disintegrate" when hitting surfaces like a thick wall ... or bone inside a body. This way recouchettes and bullets travelling through the entire house (and possibly injuring own forces elsewhere in the house) can be avoided.

Its well known that for instance the english Special Air Service CT Squadrons use these.

for the record, MP-5's are not classified as "Assault Rifles." They're primarily used by SOGs for close-quarters, while M-4's and M-16's are typically used for longer distance operations.

The M-16, and upcoming OICW, are outstanding weapons. Low weight, high accuracy, outstanding ammunition capacity and versatile. They're a bugger if you don't clean them but doing things like closing the dust covers on the bolt avoid most of the problems.

And don't let the size of the round fool you. Ballistically, they're evil.
