The 7.62X 51 was replaced by the 5.56 because it was considered by the powers that be to be superior in that context. With the M14 you were not able to carry as much, and when they tried to use the M14 as a select fire weapon this only compounded the problem. Which is why, I have always wondered why our government saw fit to go away from the M-14 7.62x51.Ĭlick to expand.With the 5.56 a soldier could carry more ammo along with his 25 lb flack jacket etc. But in ground force action the FN/FAL out performed the AK-47. Yes, I know, some will say it was the Air Force that really won the war- Yes,True. The Israelies were using the Fn/Fal 7.62x51 Nato Round and Syria,Jordan and Egypt used the AK-47-7.62x39. One of the best arguments for the 7.62X51 over the 7.62x39 can be found in the 1967 War between Israel and (Syria,Jordan,Egypt). Now when I brought out the M1-Garand, using 150&180 FMJ- He sadly couldn't compete in distance or damage. Yes, his AR-15 and SKS out distance my M-1 Carbine, How ever in that 100-150 yard range, My M-1 Carbine did as much damage to the green pumpkins we were using for target as did his SKS and way more than his AR-15. He has a top of the line AR-15 and a really cool SKS. I have a friend in Mississippi, who was giving me hell about my "old fashion ways" telling me that when SHTF happens my old guns and way were going to get me killed. I will put this up front- I don't like the 5.56 or the 7.62x39. Russian troops prefer the 7mmx39 for urban 5.45mm for field use. In Afganistan, the Russians had good luck with it. No real resupply available but what we spare 'n save. Ammo is super cheap, 1080 rounds for $140ish Light small bullet, carry a ton of 'em in the pack Or stock up the camp. Even spam cans for cabins, basements, long term storage.īug out, last ditch- AK74 5.45x39 Like the 223, its made to tumble. Go Arsenal but Centuries can be nice, fixed up- AK is made to abuse. Power of the 30/30 carbine, it will drop a deer. General duty- AK 47, along with RPK for squad level firepower Folding AK's are nice for vehicle. AR is Americas 'assault rifle.' Its a varmint round, but its light, effective enough Not my first choice unless I'm on foot, limited resupply. I miss my old 20'' A2!! Maybe even one of the good guys. 800m zoneĬombat patrols/ vehicle and foot, looting down the street- 223, AR Does not scream 'evil' rifle I can engage out to 300m pretty accurately. You can then right click it, when it begins to play for full-screen video.Full scale war- 308, M1A Long range, powerful, cover into concealment. To retreat, the French patrol had to call on a support unit, which fired a missile onto the Taliban position. The Taliban firing at them were thirteen in number, and hidden inside a house. The commentator says the patrol was made up of 8 soldiers from 8e RPIMa, and the firefight lasted one hour 15 minutes. "Look out, there's a guy on the right! ****!" "Get down!" "See the house? That blue doorway - destroy it." "We haven't got much information on the situation." "(stay down(?)) Come with me! Come with me." "Some women and children are running away. I'll just translate some of the dialogue: The soldier carrying the M4 might be from 8e RPIMa's GCP. 7'62x51mm G3A5 and G3A6 (domestic production G3 rifles, in service since the times of the Persian Shah)." 5'56x45mm-NATO, which Iran is adopting massively for internal use along with the new DIO S-5.56 and KH2002 rifles to replace the old. It has a fire selection switch for Safe, Single Fire, 3-rounds Burst and Full-Autofire, feeding from either 20-rounds or 30-rounds magazines. It comes in three variants: standard assault rifle, short-barreled assault carbine, long-barreled designated marksman weapon. The "Khaybar" KH2002 can thus be considered as a bull-pup conversion of the M16 system. which is by itself a copy of the COLT M16-A1. S-5.56 assault rifle, which is by itself a copy of the Chinese Norinco CQ assault rifle. (State-Owned Defence Industries Organization of Iran) in the early 2003.Įxtrnally similar to the French FA-MAS and the Chinese NORINCO QBZ-95, actually the "Khaybar" KH2002 is a bull-pup plastic shell conversion kit of the D.I.O. "The KH-2002, also known as the "Khaybar rifle" (Khaybar is the name of an historical oasis approximately 95 miles east of Medina, which once was also the largest Jewish settlement in Arabia), was launched by the D.I.O. Actually alot of foreign service rifles look like the Sig556/550 seriesĬheck out Iran's Khaybar KH2002.I can't wait to get a bullet button and 10/30 on one of these
