I like the M4, but the TAR is a good weapon. It's meant to have the damage ability of the AK with the range of the M4. Add that to it's slightly more compact body and it's an ideal weapon for more close combat and going round corners as well as range.

I am going with the Hk-416 it is insanely reliable and can stay accurate in what seemed like full auto. You can't really say that about many rifles espicially the AK which has a large recoil and is more so used in modern operations by insurgents as Spray and Pray. However that does not mean it cannot be accurate in the proper hands.
I don't think that's right. The high velocity of large (but relatively lightweight) bullets like a 7.62 means that they often don't have the stopping power of a smaller round like the 5.56 NATO, which is part of the reason why NATO adopted a smaller cartridge. Also part of the reason why when the Russians came to redesign the AK to create the '74 they produced their own smaller cartridge to go with it. What won over the Americans in Vietnam was the discovery that their smaller, slower rounds caused horrific injury due to the way they tumbled after entering a body, while AK bullets are more likely to whiz right through and cause much less damage.TestECull said:
Of course, at longer range, the large bullets are more damaging, because the smaller ones haven't the powder to carry them at high velocity. But most modern small arms fighting takes place at relatively close range, where the smaller rounds are more effective.
Add to that that the western rifles carry an accurate burst option, and they're definitely the ones packing the heavier punch. And sure, the AK's got reliability, but so has a stick with a pointy end...
They had a number of issues including distortion of the scope in high heat and grips that broke off!Anoctris said:
Rumour has it that the only reason the British forces went for the the original SA80 was to keep Royal Ordinance in business. It was a fucking disaster. The newer version is much much better. I love the design, apparently it's much easier to use indoors when clearing houses than any of the M16/M4 variants.
Hey, I found this video hilarious and thought you might like it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6TLhY4irvDM It's kinda smart@$$ but amusing.Nueemann said:Well, I was looking at a number of different rifles and I decided to ask you all the question, which one do you think is best?
Personally, I think they are all great weapons, but I would vote for the G36.
Also, the country listed is where the rifle is from, not necessarily the country that uses it.
Here are the rifles in the order they're listed on the poll.
G36
C7
HK-416
M4
Steyr AUG
L85
TAR-21
Man, way to give the M-4 an unfair advantage by using a picture of one with a grenade launcher mounted on it.[sub]Just kidding.[/sub]
Although I've never fired any of these guns(I would like to), I'd have to say it's a tie between the G36 and the H&K-416.

the Thompson its made in the USA (I dont know how to place pictures)I just like its design
or the Automatov Kalasjnikof model 1947 (AK47) due to it being pretty much indistructable if I had to choose I would personaly go for the tommygun

Damn you for making me choose between an M4 and an AUG...
I like the AUG more, but I have to give a mention to the French FAMAS

The M14 in my personal opinion based upon the effectiveness of the 7.62 nato round also the accuracy at longer range of the M14
I knew i wasn't the only one, but in terms of modern rifles i'd go with the AR-15 mostly because i have used it for something beside huntingCody211282 said:I have a soft spot for the M1 Garand
I have 2 at home.
