What's your favorite assault rifle?

[QUOTE="-Jiggles-"][QUOTE="duxup"] No zebra stripped pattern available. *thumbs down* What if I'm firing while in the middle of a pack of zebra!?!?? duxup

Oh, come now, no rifle is perfect. :P

[QUOTE="Immortalica"][QUOTE="Iced_Earth_Rulz"]I forgot the name of the rifle but its supposed to take over the M16a in the US in a few years time if the tests go alright. Anyone know?Bloodbath_87

I've always loved the MP5, ever since playing SWAT on the PC years ago. AirGuitarist87

MP-5 is a submachine gun, not an assualt rifle though.

L85, British assault rifle. Of course, that's based off of Project Reality and Battlefield 2 gaming sessions. It looks so nice with that green. :DCyrax-Sektor

Then you should know in reality, L85, SA-80 is one of the most notoriously unrealiable assualt rifles in the world today, even more unrealiable than the M-16. Early version were know to jam when gears broke, the plastic furnishings melting in the sun or sand. rifle apatures getting clogged with dirt. Despite improvements, realiablity are still a issue. several years ago, the British government were even considering replacing it with the G-36. But local pressure prevented it.

The M-41A Pulse Rifle

My favorite is the FAMAS. I got to fire a fully automatic one and it was amazing. The gun is reliable, accurate (effective range 500 meters), 3150 feet per second muzzle velocity which is wicked fast, and 1000+ rounds per minute. Unlike most assult rifles it uses a blowback system instead of gas operated like the M16, AK's.

Edit: Did I mention build in bipod? Very handy!

AK47 or any abbrevation of the original design. last thing i want is weapon jamming. :)BiancaDK

Imo the AK-74 is better than the AK-47. The ammo is better (flatter trajectory, higher velocity and increased flesh wounds) combined with the AK's reliability =:D

In all seriousness, although I hate the way Israel acts and the blind eye the West turns towards them, they do make some great weaponry. (funded by the US taxpayer). Their new Tavor Assault rifle seems very impressive. IF they just got rid of the 5.56mm NATO round in favour of something with a bit more range, they'd be perfect.

Either the SCAR

The HK416

Or the XM8

All are great and far superior in every way possible to the current M4s being used by the US. Hell even the M468 is better thanks to the stopping power of the 6.8 round.

Plus all of them are flexable and come in diffierent variants for diffierent needs.

I would assume the majority of the people on this site can not really have an opinion on this matter because most of them haven't shot any of these rifles or any rifle at all.

The M16 is a great weapon for medium to long ranges but many engagements now are close quarters so i defnately prefer the M4.

your right the SA80 has had problems but that was the first version the British Army now us the L85A2 which has be widely praised for its reliability and is attracting state Armies into adopting it now it performed well in the war in Iraq and is now performing well in Afghanistan to .

LOL! Indeed, paying for that would be the best thing that anyone bought. :P

I like the G36K too.

I've not really played around with assault rifles all that much enough to decided upon a favorite...but my favorite assault gun by far is --

The Sturmgeschutz III!

[QUOTE="luamhtrad"][QUOTE="noswear"]Guns are designed for killing things.AirGuitarist87

actually, iirc, guns (military guns I mean) are made in accordance with the Geneva convention, and the Geneva convention states that the purpose of guns is to "harm" or to take out of action. They hardly use the word kill or lethal.

This is why certain guns are not to be used against humans because they are too lethal (i.e. 50 caliber rifles cannot be used offensively against humans, and why theyre refered to as antimaterial rifles) and why others have been entirely outlawed. The stats support this because if you look at the deaths against wounded, wounded is often triple what deaths are.

I know, its hairsplitting, but that is how it is supposed to be.

While it is not a "true" Assault Rifle, as it uses the 30.06 rifle cartrige and it came 2 years before the Sturmgewehr, my favorite "automatic" rifle would have to be the Fallschirmjagergewehr 42.

It has many of the same characteristics as assault rifles of modern day. It used a rifle bullet, so therefore it was accurate enough to be used as a sniper variant, just as the G3 and Steyr AUG are sometimes used. It was also bi-pod deployable, making it like the RPK somewhat, as the RPK is a Kalshnikov 47 converted into a machine gun. Being so versitle, and just so unique. It is my favorite assault carbine, and one of my favorite firearms. After the Mauser Karbiner 98 Kurz of course...
