7.62 soviet is still intermediate

Imagine thinking that "muh velocity" or "muh distance" matters in this context 😂

No, you're a complete retard if you're talking terms of stopping power with the 5.56 vs. 7.62 because most modern militaries are trained to fire in a two round burst, which makes the difference between the two rounds irrelevant at short ranges and the 5.56 far superior at longer ranges with its much greater velocity.

Cake "I can't into military theory" Boss

it isn't worth the cost or weight for the slight increase in power, if there even is any increase

Yeah, that was why nobody was picking up AKs in Vietnam. Troops really loved the ability to carry shitloads of ammo that did the same job.

If you think that 5.56 round will be even remotely capable of penetrating infantry armour circa 2030s then the retard is you, 7.62 might indeed retain its relevance for quite a bit longer

>picking up enemy weapons in real life combat situation

it won't, but neither will your shitty soviet intermediate 7.62x39, you fucking tard

I think body armor ca. 2030 will make both the 5.56 and 7.62 irrelevant.

What are you, twelve?

Leaf you're actually displaying your ignorance both by claiming that soldiers never do that and by your complete lack of reading comprehension.

How about the retarded sister of the M16?

It was not common practice like the myths say, but soldiers can and do pick up enemy weapons in emergency situations or for spec ops.

This isn't mw2 online

Why the fuck would you use enemy fire arms that don't have the same ammunition as your service weapon

Which was actually very common in Vietnam.

soldiers do pick up enemy guns

there's quite wide precedence to this

I know I said the last one was a byooty but that's just an absolute byoot there you found, @Bearer Of The Curse, unfortunately, highest I can go is 200$

Sold

Yes, as souvenirs

Soldiers would use enemy AKs because their sound signature and brass casings allowed them to go *incognito* epic style 😎, at least for spec ops. Everyone else used the M16/M14.

@Leaf Supremacist special operations often train with expected enemy weapons in the case they have to use such

Or maybe a better gun if you were using the Matel-16

Leaf you're being a total retard and distracting us from pointing out what a complete retard not gay reddit is so if you could please stop thanks

its not that practical but it happens in desperate situations

using enemy firearms was extremely common in the Winter War. Finnish army deployed literally tens of thousands of SVT40s

But the Finns also had no weapons of their own. 😎

Epic gamer style.

hey

That's captured enemy caches @Xinyue

we had good ones

uh, no, they captured plenty from the field Leaf

That's not picking up an ak off a dead Viet Cong with maybe 15 rounds in the mag

Leaf reveals what a retard he is with every post

Stop this madman

like, as in, took enemy rifles that were deemed superior to what they were handed by the arsenal

Yes but you need the fucking ammo to use them @Xinyue

DP-27 was a very common item to pick up

The Finns were more than happy to take weapons from the Soviets because they were underequipped and nogs.

There is no point to doing that if you don't have a reliable source of ammo to use for them

But yet they did it. So maybe you're missing something?

it seems, iirc, finns used ripoffs of russian stuff

That's a very accurate meme

wasn't simo just using a ripoff carbine version of a mosin nagant

t.Scipio god of boomers and boomer thoughts

> The Finns were more than happy to take weapons from the Soviets because they were underequipped and nogs.

Lies

Say hello to the Charlton Automatic Rifle

What is that supposed to prove

Finns dabbed on soviets hard

like really really hard

Are you saying the Finns weren't underequipped and nogs???

That gun looks disgusting

**Finns Master Rays, Aryan Race Theory Debunked - Fingolian Khanate Reins Supreme**

@Xinyue this but unironically

Finns are baste

that is one uglee son of a gun right thar, sure is, @Bearer Of The Curse

this is unarguable point

Finns are aryans with 3% golian

Mongolian were the real victors of ww2

good prot christians, epic language, and not the worst race in europe

Finns are mongols with 3% aryan

so it puts them at spot #2 in races

know your coming overlords

Finno-Hungarian-Kazakh-Mongol alliance.

its funny, one of the most successful Soviet commanders in Winter War was the commander of the 13th Army, who was a Finn himself

This thing is sexy too

no

I think it's very overrated.

mag out the top is ewwy

Mfw no Mongolian DNA

Magazine-fed LMGs are just a big meme.

I hate the top-mag form

<:rip:521380737765867521>

mfw no qt finngol gf

sad

time to die

@Leaf Supremacist submit to Fingolian rule, rule by your natural superiors

Why live

It's hard to have a bottom-mounted magazine if you're going to be using it in prone all of the time.

top-mag is gay design

an unspeakable abomination

delet this

But this is irrelevant because the only correct way to use an LMG is belt-fed or with a modern gigantic box magazine with a sophisticated feed mechanism that didn't exist in WWII.

Hence why Bren is big gay

only DP-27 did it right

Pan magazines are equally gay

You can store a lot more ammo in box magazines.

pan magazines are bazed

they look stylish

didn't the germans do their mgs right in ww2

They are gay and awkward.

which is the best reason to have them

The only true machine gun design is gatling gun

Everything else is derivative

Gatling guns are not technically machine guns.
