MMW MkV thread. It's been fun.

Okay. Although if you're thinking the ACR, I'd like to contest that.
Also, while the speaker in this video may be annoying, he's right on this.

I use the ACR...or should I go back to my original M16 replacement the FN SCAR?

What's wrong with the M16? The US military seems to think it works fine enough to keep it for the foreseeable future.

Just saying, these are all the same guy, with the same gun. He might have deliberately sabotaged it, or just gotten a lemon

Why the hell would he do that again?

I dunno, maybe he works for a rival company, maybe he's just a troll. I'm just saying it's a possablity

Update to the Sevvanian revolving carbine. Chambered in 7.62x38mmR, and now sporting a fold-out bayonet (more of a utility knife), and a suppressor.

What era are you operating in? I've always found revolving rifles cool, and wondered why more didn't crop up in the late 1800's

Vaguely in the realm of 1920s-1950s, although it tends to fall closer to the latter end of the timeline.

That bayonet needs to be a bit longer.

I tried, but I couldn't get it to look right. It's more of a utility blade than an actual combat implement.

I don't intend to start a flame war, but the M-16s use by the US military are poorly made with low-grade materials, and did not possess the advantages inherent in civilian AR-15s, which are typically made out of quality parts with quality manufacturing processes. The reason that we keep the M-16 is that colt offense is willing to lower their prices and bribe the government at the expense of quality and the lives of our soldiers.

You mean Colt Defense. And you do know the original issues with the M16 were eliminated with the M16A1 and subsequent models?

I hear most of the problems arise from the lubricants that are issued, STANAG magazines, and the appalling lack of weapon maintenance practiced.

The last two about the ACR are different, although I did edit my post.

Some, not all. But that doesn't change the materials and manufacturing quality Yes, I mean Colt Defense, my computers dictating software sometimes makes mistakes that I don't catch.

I didn't catch that, but they could still be the same guy, or just two more lemons. So far what I've read, heard and seen says that it works pretty well, but obviously there are going to be a few outliers and manufacturing errors

The SCAR, in my opinion, is a better weapon. Of course, if you want to stay AR-15-y, I'd recommend the H&K 416.

Well, there were a lot of manufacturing errors, considering there was a recall.

You should buy my guns.

The hell with it. Changing back to the FN SCAR.

And no. I'd prefer to make my own guns in Lanos.

Please, evidence for the advantages "inherent" in civilian AR-15s?

I don't think there's a conspiracy between the US government and defence contractors to make American military equipment inferior in quality to the rest of the world.

If there was a conspiracy, we would have heard about it by now.

[Samozaryadnyastan]

Well, there is the way in which the M16 often does worse in tests than competing rifles, yet is never replaced...
Plus, they are built down to a price, being government issue. Remember the (former?) Coast Guard here who kept dissing the M92 because of what he believed were its US-mandated parts being of poor quality?

SCAR has its own bed of issues (not that I remember what most of them are - I remember that the SCAR-H actually isn't a suitable platform for taking 7.62, because it's just so light).
I think the HK416 might actually be the best AR-15 family replacement, since it's going to be externally familiar to any M16 shooter.
Alternatively, you could just upgrade all your M16s with aftermarket upper receivers fitted with piston operations.

See, now you're just trying to start a fight.

Neither do I, I just think that some individuals prefer profits to lives.

Usefull for its light weight, Flexibility and Diversity of use its standard rounds are 6.21 mm's but its Round and feed chambers and be Unlocked and adjusted to take smaller bullet sizes. It takes a large number of attachments and ''mods'' But the standard's are a Reflex scope with 16mm grenade launcher.

[Spreewerke]

For example, it has been retrofitted with a nanite "hive" in the stock which consists of an army of several billion nanites depositing lubricants where they are needing and carrying residue or dirt away from sensitive internal mechanisms.

I just got home, so I'm still sifting through pages, but I saw this quote regarding the AK series being attached to cyborgs (or whatever). I giggled a tiny bit.

If your barrel's chamber (and thus, the barrel itself) can be directly adjusted to accept smaller bullets, then by logic it's horrifically complex and going to be of weak construction, due to moving parts. The "more" sensible option is modular barrels for different calibres.

Terrible. I cant fit both my hands on that gun.
