I've heard of some PD's going with AK's and Mini-14's instead of AR's and MP5's.

AK-103
Only modern assault rifle there firing the more powerful 7.62mm round. With all the reliability of an AK47 and the modern technology of the 101.
Sounds like what everybody wants. Best looking gun has to be the FAMAS or G36 series though.

I don't quite know what sort of Steyr the Aussies ended up with but I have never heard a good thing about it. Can't say its the same out our way, AUG in service with DF in Ireland works like a charm (no smart arse comments about lucky charms).
they have us surrounded, the poor bastards.

I too have heard that the Australian AUGs are nothing but trouble. Perhaps it's a problem with the tooling or manufacture of these domestically produced weapons.

My vote would go to the Tavor, or the HK-416. But that is from talking with people and technical comparisons, not necesarilly using them in the field myself, which could yield different results.

Eh
I'm sorry but the AUG works just fine and is extremely durable. I think you may be getting into a which one looks nicer thing there and that is down entirely to opinion.Weapons of war should be made of wood and steel, not alloy and plastic.they have us surrounded, the poor bastards.

I think this takes the cake as the best in the world.

Already becoming popular with LE agencies and being tested by the US Army, although as usual I don't see it replacing M16/M4 weapons systems as a general issue anytime soon.Last edited by leib10; 21st January 2007 at 22:31.

I think it'd be reasonable to replace those M16s that are worn out and going to be sold or donated to other countries. The differences in training would be miniscule. Originally Posted by leibstandarte10

H&k 416
I like the H&K 416, a very nice assault weapon, high capacity ROF,. short easy to maintain.
Some of the weapon's mentioned IMO fall into the battle rifle catagory, by that I mean wieght of weapon and ammo that can be comfortably carried for a sustained period of time, on an assault, maybe I'm wrong.
The weapon's that I have used:-
M16A1 (Expert)
M16A2 (Expert)
AUG
AK 47
FN (L1A1)
G36
G3
L85A1
UZI
MP5
Sterling
I chose the M16A2 due to my experience.
How many peeple chose the G36 without having any experience with it?
Toe.Yet another ex-tankie of 1 RTR origin.
