Main Military Weapon of Your Country (Mk. IV) The Proper Un

[Soviet Haaregrad]

You're all evil. ._.

We only tease because we love.
Although, now I'm curious if a Garand style gas system and bolt could be built inside a stamped receiver and chambered in an intermediate cartridge.

[Amerikians]

...-Huge pouty quivering lower lip, gargantuan anime-esque puppydog eyes.- I-it's perfect. Got it?

[Vassenor]

If by perfect you mean "threat to low flying aircraft on the third shot".

[Milograd]

The M14. It may not be the most cutting edge weapon, but it works. Considering that our military is small, not particularly well funded and doesn't get involved in many wars, it'll do just fine.

M14 is glory glory. ._.

[Amerikians]

...Anyways, uber-list for this version. Brace for impact.

Small Arms:

Main Battle Rifle - M-14 The M-14 Battle Rifle has served with the United States Armed Forces since 1956 when it underwent trials by the military to replace the M-1 Garand Battle Rifle. It is chambered in .30-06 Springfield and is produced by Springfield Arms.

Main Assault Rifle - Thompson Light Rifle The Thompson Light Rifle was devolped during the opening years of the Second World War; while being considered too expensive to mass produce the rifle saw service with elite units in the United States Army and United States Maritime Rangers in Europe and the Pacific.

The Rifle is chambered in .30 Carbine and is used today by Maritime Rangers and Airborne Rangers.

The M14 is a fine weapon. Combining power, accuracy and elegance, it is the height of weapons technology. Giving the infantryman unprecedented automatic firepower together with highly accurate and effective long range semi automatic fire, it is a weapon that holds the advantages of modern weapons design without losing those of the previous generation of high powered rifles; the perfect compromise, it surpasses its predecessors and successors to become what is without doubt a highly effective, highly usable rifle under any circumstances.needs moar grippod, tho. oh, and add railz, scopes, and heartbeat sensors so it can be moar cod and stuff. put 5.56 nato round liek M4 and plastic parts, and you have teh best riflol evar

Ohh, I can haz M14 in BB NATO?

Yea, try a Mini-14 556 from Ruger.

[Amerikians]

Also, have to say I love that Britannia up there at the top for one reason.

Winchester is love, straight out.

[Greater Arovia]

What says it's the same M-4 you're thinking of? I'm not going to rechamber a plastic-bakelite woman's gun in .30-06, the fucking thing'll break.

[Anemos Major]

What says it's the same M-4 you're thinking of? I'm not going to rechamber a plastic-bakelite woman's gun in .30-06, the fucking thing'll break.

I keep on telling Amerikians to shorten the ruddy M14 and make a carbine.

He keeps on saying no.

I already did that.

[Amerikians]

When did I say no, anyways?

So has SRSS.

[Anemos Major]

When did I say no, anyways?

When we were discussing the replacement of the M2 Carbine because of its underpowered round, and I told you that you might as well cut down the M14 into a carbine if you needed something for paratroopers and stuff, and you said no.

[Oterro]

Piss poor FAL rip off first draft up tonight should all go according to plan...

Oh right, and then Fellow-Whose-Name-Is-Eluding-Me suggested the Thompson Light Rifle; which is why I said no. Then I went and did it anyway.

Holy shit, do you know how fucking light a M4 is, it's fly out of anyone's hand if just rechamber for a 30.06.

Who says M-4 here refers to the real-world weapon?

Bitch please

EDIT: Also, note the insanely thick barrel, largely due to the fact that it heats up.

Didn't get much feedback on this. Coilgun AT rifle, by the way.

It can be inferred by looking at his other weapons and by knowing Amerikians.
