You could add onto it a grenade launching under barrel, and onto that another shotgun frontmount, and then a flamethrower attachment onto that.Toaster Hunter said:The AA-12, because there's no such thing as overkill.
Call it the overkill rifle.

A modified Lee Enfield rifle, converted to .45 ACP with the barrel of a Thompson and the magazine of a Colt 1911. Virtually silent.

It was an experimental assault rifle with modular assembly that could be modified in the field, officialy for 4 variants, the default, cabinet, SAW, and DMR.
Despite the fact that it was over 5x more effective than the standard issue M416 in stoppage tests, the US army canceled the entire project.
Presumably because it looked to damn cool looking.

Pretty much this, if you were looking for one that exists.Wadders said:The coolest gun ever?
Why, it has to be the Winchester '94 lever action rifle of course!

A timeless classic really, sexy as hell.
I'm quite aware of that... but saying it's a wunderwaffle is making it a lot cooler!gamerguyal said:Maybe YOU should look it up, it's spelled Wunderwaffe. You know, waffe as in the German word for weapon.ThatLankyBastard said:The WunderWaffle!

Also, since the mechanism was so radically different from the M4 and M16, upon implementation of this rifle, the military would have had to completely reteach all personnel how to strip, clean, and maintain their rifles, as well as buying completely new tools for the job, which would cost them millions more, and they didn't want to do that.

As I said, in a stoppage test:
"Ten of each type of rifle were used to fire 6,000 rounds each, for a total of 60,000 rounds per rifle type. The M4 suffered far more stoppages than its competitors: 882 stoppages, 19 requiring an armorer to fix. The XM8 had the fewest stoppages, 116 minor stoppages and 11 major ones, followed by the FN SCAR with 226 stoppages and the HK416 with 233."
The XM8 jammed the least.
I can assure you it's not. Maybe some SOF guys have gotten their fingers on it, but it's pretty far off from standard issue.TheYellowCellPhone said:No, actually, I think he was refering to the Hechler & Koch 416 (AKA the HK416)Wadders said:And I believe you mean the standard issue M4/M16 rifle?

I think it's actually starting to replace the M4s and M16s as the standard assualt rifle in the US.
