I have been interested in assault rifles, however never had the chance to fire one.
G3
I will be in boot camp in two months. [img]graemlins/salute.gif[/img] Turkish army is mostly equipped with G3s and AKs. If I am unlucky enough there is a possibility of serving in the "east" where I will have the chance to fire my G3 at guerillas, hope I won't have to.
M16
I don't know much about M16 but I read that in Vietnam some American soldiers replaced their M16s with AKs. Of course there is now M16A4 most of the problem
should have been overcome.
AK 47
As far as I know AK is reliable, cheap and easy to maintain, while G3 very fragile and unstable while automatic use. That is 1-0 for guerillas.
I only know the names of FAMAS and SA80 (L85).
SA 80 (Her Majesty's Rifle)
FAMAS (Looks Cool)
Have any of you people used these rifles for military or civil purposes? (assault rifle for civil purpose?)
What are your thoughts about these rifles?
What other kinds of assault rifles do modern armies use currently?
