Ah but the joke is on them. The US Army does not just "buy" things.

It's not ideal, but I think it is the best my person can afford at the moment (I'm rp-ing in a Ukraine\Syria type situation where the weapons are what ever the rebels smuggled in) which I hope to replace with a SVD as soon as I can.

Might as well accept 7.62x39mm as SPC, in use for certain elements (Assault Engineers, amongst them), without replacing 5.56x45mm or 7.62x51mm.

It's honestly going to be something more like an "optimal" but probably less.
Probably like .264 US or 6.5 Grendel, which might actually just replace 7.62x51mm NATO and allow the continued use if 5.56x45mm NATO.
Which again I think that the best version of 5.56x45mm that proves to be a more suitable choice than the heavy AR round is going to be the 77gr Mk. 262 Mod. 0/1, but really more fire means more suppressing more suppressing means more killing and more killing means less dying
As for caliber swap, it's not useful outside of a limited spectrum of uses and certainly not for everyone.Prosorusiya wrote:Any opinions on the SVT-40 as a sniper rifle in a modern setting?
They initially had a lot of vertical drift. This was fixed but it wasn't worth it.
You can afford SVDs. SVTs were rare at the height of their use.
There were more SVDs built than there were SVTs by a huge margin.The Federation of Kendor wrote:How does modern infantry works?
Infantry take and hold land, conduct assaults, and dig themselves into positions and defend them.
They support and are supported by tanks, AFVs, APCs and trucks.
You can't win a war without them, and likewise infantry can not win a war on their own. Your question is a broad one. There are hundreds, thousands of books written on the subject of modern infantry. Specific questions are needed to really learn or else you'll get lost in the sea of information.

Behold the bicycle infantry
http://www.combatreform.org/atb.htm
Here is where I got most of my facts and ideas. The writer has made a very good argument for bicycles to be used in coexistence with light vehicals and even tanks. Though he does talk about paratroopers most of the time he does mention ground forces several times.
My plan is to form Regiments of Motor Cyclists (need a name). These regiments would comprise of two battalions each with all infantry mounted on light trucks carrying about 8 people each with the bicycles folded up and hanging on the side and in storage racks. Every Battalion will have a Heavy weapons company equipped with 80mm mortars (possible mounted on a ATV or maybe just carried around) and an anti tank section with RPG 29s. (Possible mounted on atvs or carried on bicycle) the the remaining 4 companies would be regular rifle companies. (Should I have a logistic section in each battalion or wait until regiment)
Then at the regimental level possible 120mm mortars mounted on Polaris Rangers would be used for artillery (us military are experimenting with this system of 120mm mortar, also possible keep a heavy anti tank section at regimental level?) Then at regiment a logistics company would be attached.
The idea of this setup is for light infantry to be able to move strategically in trucks then dismount and ride bicycles supported by ATVs/Rangers for weapons carriers across rough terrian or even regular terrian to gain tactical mobility over so called foot sluggers or even dismounted infantry. (Though I do not plan to use them against mech infantry unless supported by attached tank units)
So tell me my infantry experts. What do you think is this a feasible unit with genuine advantages or just junk. (Ps. The largest combined unit would be Brigades with about 5 of these motor cyclist regiments combined with maybe a tank battalion)
Any suggestions to make it better if it's good would be open.

So apparently it depends on the year of manufacture for the Norinco model. Early models were terrible, newer models are good. But that isn't absolute. I know a guy with a mint condition original Winchester and he bought a Norinco not long after they came out for sale here so he could have a "cheaper" one to play with, and he swears by its build quality. I also know a guy who got one for Christmas recently and it's already broken twice.
