I think they should use the alien dancing raygun from the first episode of south park. Go on america, you have a huge military budget, you know you guys can make one. Get to it.

The M4 is a piece of crap, even in comparison to the M16. I used them when I was a tank driver and I can honestly say I would rely on my pistol before I relied on my M4. The infantry units attached to my company used M16s and I was intensely jealous of them, I knew why I couldn't have one (won't fit in my vehicle) but that doesn't mean I was happy about it.Cody211282 said:It was replaced by the M4 already.
I read an artical here on the escapist that the ACR from cod does exist in its very very new stages, research and first prototypes i believe. Very few people previously knew it even existed. I think thats in line to replace the scar that is currently weapon of choice. Or still being integrated.sansamour14 said:Well ive been looking at the m16s history and i find it had to believe that it has been in service for almost 60 years with no replacement in sight i know its a good rifle but i think its about time we equip our soldiers with better tech cuz like a computer u can keep upgrading it but eventually you'll have to replace it.
Wat are your suggestions please have the name, manufacturer, country of origin, and why it should be the next primary infantry rifle and if you think the rifle shouldn't be replaced please elaborate.
Please also take into account that if your rifle were to become the next standard our soldiers will have to use it so please dont choose a rifle just cuz u think its cool but think of does who will have to use it in combat.
Ive had basic training with this modified version but never got the chance to fire it with live ammunition. It im a pretty good shot with the old bolt actions though, reminds me of the SA80 which i thought was our current gun no?Trivun said:Here in the UK we use the L-98 series. Single-shot, have to cock it after each shot, but a very good range and easy to use and maintain. Easy to strip down, too. I trained with a cadet version when I was in the CCF (Combined Cadet Force) in school, RAF section, and it was so easy to handle. It's a modified version for cadet use of what the British troops use in the field out in Iraq and Afghanistan and wherever, though I'm not sure how long it's been in service. But surely, for all countries, weapons should be recycled and a new version or a more advanced weapon be made available when new technology is developed? Upgrades can only get you so far, eventually as the technology changes military forces need to change with it, right?
As far as I'm aware it's the L-98, but I only ever used it at school, which I left two years ago, so it might have changed since then. Haven't spoken to anyone still there in the CCF for a while so I don't know. Never used the SA80 myself, but the L-98 was what we always used on our own shooting range, plus when we did 'field days' training at nearby Army bases, we'd use them. I recall using laser ammo on the 'SAT' ranges (firing virtual rounds at a screen, like with light gun arcade games), and again it was the L-98 (modified to fire laser rounds rather than actual ammo).BiscuitTrouser said:Ive had basic training with this modified version but never got the chance to fire it with live ammunition.

I was going to say this. Quality gun without being loaded up the arse with every piece of military tech known to man.Dmatix said:Well, the Israeli's are currently replacing the M16 with the TAR-21, or Tavor. The gun had showed to be more accurate and reliable then the M4 in field testing (Looks pretty badass too).
Project was canceled a while ago I think.AWDMANOUT said:By this... You mean the US military... right? You should be a bit more specific.
And well, I dunno. What about the XMB Battlefield has been so apparently crazy over?

MUCH less accurate and tends to break down often.Sacman said:The AK-47/74 duh...
