But on the flipside
I'm in the military I constantly a lot of money being almost thrown a way
Wasn't the M60 supposed to replace the M1919? And that got a bad rap too
Needed several upgrades
Yeah it replaced the BAR
And I think they pretty much just gave up and went with the M249 in the end
throwback to folding stock days
the m60 was just to unwieldy
But it looked cool in movies <:makes_you_think:382980749780844554>
The corrent equipment is still much better than the original m16
And the 249 shares ammo with the m4
Allows more ammo to carry and Inter-troop armament
FN FAL, I believe the US demanded they change the calibre so it'd accomodate .308
Then after they did that
US didn't use it and went with the M16 anyway
Wasn't the FAL 308 in the first place
I think the one we use is m240
But we don't call it that
240B is the larger model
I think it was supposed to use whatever most EU countries were adopting at the time. Pretty sure it was smaller calibre than the .308 though
This is it
F16 has been in service since.. 1978?
F18 since the early 80s
M1 Abrams around the same time
They've tried to replace all of these, multiple times
A fighter jet takes literal trillions to replace
If I can remember the program names I'll go dig them up
Because they cancelled all of them except the F22, I believe
And what a shitshow that's turned out to be
The stupid hurts
We would all die
