thats why FN was contracted for the FN SCAR project: making a reliable, low maintenance, enduring gun, thats enabled for battle pickup & such for behind the lines ops.welsh said:That and that it's too complicated and subject to malfunction on the battlefield. One would think the ideal weapon would be light, easy to repair and rugged.
basically, simple, ugly & deadly
i prefer the F2000 though
well, thats true for almost all modern assaultrifles... communist or otherwise. to gravely wound a soldier takes 2 or more guys out of the fight, to kill a soldier only takes out 1..welsh said:But then what do you expect from a weapon created from a communist assembly line that was built to maim, but not kill, people.
suppose so. sturdy, easy to maintain & light.welsh said:However, I would think that the average guy in the field who is under fire and spending many days and nights in the rain the mud would want a weapon that's dependable. Isn't that why Glocks are so popular as handguns- dependability?
too light (and too ugly) for my tastes.
