The HK416. One of the most durable rifles I have ever seen. They left it in both sand and water for days during tests and a after a quick shake it can fire again.

I actually do remember reading about this somewhere, now that you mention it. I was under the blind illusion that it was awesome but expensive. However my comment still stands - there are no doubt better weapons and equipment out there, but they're damn expensive. We all remember that quote that was used on Call of Duty 4: 'Your weapon is made by the lowest bidder.'Scolar Visari said:
I know for a fact that at least Denmark is pissed as all Hell because both the rifle itself and the operating system are poorly suited for cold climates. I'm talking serious failures, like weapons exploding or having to stand on the charging handle to cycle the weapon. It's not a piece of shit, but it ain't the second coming of JMB either.baddude1337 said:
You're absolutely right, but that doesn't mean we should just change because somebody created something new. Sure there are some cool rifles available, but they aren't that so amazingly great that we need to purchase thousands and retrain absolutely everybody on some fancy new system.Geekosaurus said:
Oh yeah, they're not gonna do it for the sake of it. They'll hold out with what they have for as long as they can. But if, hypothetically, they wanted to change their standard rifles to the best rifles that money can buy, they'd have a massive job on their hands because pretty much everything would have to be replaced. And then of course they'd have all those old weapons that need selling to developing countries...Scolar Visari said:
SIG SG 553, otherwise known as the .552 Commando's big brother, and replacement

SCAR-L. It provides everything the modern soldier needs.
Unlike the XM8 it's truly modular. (sure, the 5 varients "out of the box" may make the XM8 look modular, but what if you need to a night-vision sight? You can't fit that on the XM8, the SCAR has RIS rails, it can mount such a sight in less than a minute)
Unlike the 416 it has a fully adjustable stock (have fun fitting a rifle that doesn't fold into your backpack ^^)
The only real contender to the SCAR is the ACR, and I must admit I'm a bit sceptical about that... magpul got famous making little rubber things you fit on magazines to make them easier to detach, the ACR is their first real foray into building firearms. FN on the other hand have been making guns since before you (yes, you) were born, they manufactures the FAL, the most widely used western assault rifle. They know what they're doing.

I'm surprised no-one's suggested the H&K 416 yet, it has an immediately recognisable design, it's remarkably durable and has already been adopted by America's 1st SFOD-D.
Haha yeah, saw bunch of videos of the gun literally coming apart on the users hand.Canid117 said:
I not sure why but I laughed my ass off, probably because it was being showcased as 'One gun to rule them all'
A bit unrelated, if the Tavor-21 is as accurate as they say it is then thats a damn fine gun.
Dunno how modular it is though.
No no, its fine. =] SIG are my favourite firearms manufacturer. If I could have any pistol, I would have a SIG P226Geekosaurus said:
This video pretty much sums it up.
Recoil? Low to mid. High Ammo Cap mag, massive RoF, highly adaptable to any situation, And did you know you can use a special sight with the option grenade launcher?
It accually uses a laser range finder to measure the distance between you and your target, and then tells you if you have to raise or lower the weapon.
Its extreamly light, very compact because of its bullpup design, and it fires the 5.56.
Its an amazing weapon, developed for one reason.

But is it enough of an improvement to justify replacing the M-16?
