Track'em, find'em, kill'em!"
the m4 is one of my favorite weapons in RvS - nice find Sir
Nice find Hunter
I like this video because it shows the cycle of the M4 when you have it in Transparent view; Feeding, Chambering, Locking, Firing, Unlocking, Extracting, Ejecting, Cocking. Hopefully we go to the Piston instead of Gas operating system soon. There's talk of contracts. I cant wait.

Personally I think the average American solider in the future, will likely ship out to combat with a weapon, his great, great, great, grand father would recognise as a descendent of his space aged "Self cleaning" rifle from Vietnam.
About as "Self cleaning" as a newborn! Colts contract is up and the Army already said they're not buying back in. Enter the Piston operated system. Even if it does look like Great grandpas, Gas-operated will be a thing of the past.
I actually used my M-14 I got issued in Afghan over my M-4A2 anyday. That rifle was refurbed' in the 80s. Still had a wood stock and iron sights. I have seen only one other rifle more reliable. Im still keeping my fingers crossed though. I bet we'll go with the damn most space aged plastic looking POS at the lowest price. Got me there Spidey.

In the film Armageddon, there's a scene when one of the rough necks makes a perfect remark about procurement:
HAHAHA I remember that line. Too true man LMAO

Scout if you like the M14 and the caliber 7,62x51 (7,62 Nato) than have a look here:

12", 16.1", 18" and 20" interchangeable upper system, 12" for assault and CQB, 20" barrel for the sniper shoot.
In 5.56 NATO and 6.8mm SPC this is a good alternate, something that combines a M4 with the SAW, closed bolt in semi-auto, open bolt in full-auto:

There is also a video under media about this weapon.

Pretty nice the first one. It looks much like the SASS. I like the interchangeable barrel feature especially. Personally I'd give it to Marksmen but not a Sniper. However it is a Great weapon system that has the capability to fire sub MOAs. But I know for a fact that both will not be very accurate after a short time(Doesn't matter so much for the SAW/Area weapon). Weapon systems with upper and lower receivers(split receivers) usually lose accuracy after firing a few thousand rounds. Its those damn pins that hold 'em together. Thats another reason why Im not a very big fan of the M16 or any other variant of it. The upper receiver begins to "wiggle".

Scout, try a rear tension pin from any supplier it helps to minimze it.

Will do m8. Thx for the advice.
