@[TDE] Smokie Its a shame

A damn shame...

Hmm.

Too deep to even dive for em

So, I took the compass test. I'm apparently more left than I thought? Weird, but oh well.

No not really, I'm fairly lefty

Hmm

Does anyone have any thoughts on the next gen squad weapons that the military is looking into

What would that be

I know they started using some new type of m249 that takes a magazine instead of a drum and looks like a m16

I'm not sure how effective they are

But that was back in 2011ish

The 6.88 millimeter round instead of the 5.56

And they're also thinking of replacing the frag grenade with a better one that you can set the time of detonation

It's about time

We've been using m16s for the longest time

That grenade also has a flash option that can go 2 meters out

Well why replace something that works?

Should be a radius

A 2 meters radius

They hate replacing anything in the military because it costs money

Yes it does cost money everything does but it would be an upgrade to military strength

Yeah, they could of upgraded 20 years ago if they wanted

Yes but with all the new technology we have now is worth the wait

I think the ak47 is a superior weapon except for 1 issue

It's max effective range is 300 meters compared to the m16a2's 800 metera

The AK was built to last and it's easy to swap parts

max effective of 800m for 5.56 is kinda iffy, i agree it's specced for that on a 20" barrel but realistically its more like 600m...which is still double 300

You can throw mud into an AKs chamber and it'll still fire

so your point is still valid

also, quit dropping it in mud

xD

Lmao

That is why the U.S. is looking to upgrade to the 6.88 millimeter round

Mosin nagant doubles as a spear

A throwing spear for when ammo is gone

if a m249 isn't clean as a whistle it'll constantly jam

Russian guns summed up is this

"Keep It Simple Stupid"

Bruh nice AR
