I think now we should move into the second phase of the circus.

How to improve the M16 and it's relatives without actually replacing the whole line.
I getta go furst!
1)Fixed charging handle on the right side of the bolt carrier, like, you know...the AK.
2)Shorter stock, or a more rugged collapsable stock.
3)18in barrel chambered in 6.5MPC. Switch out the barrels on the SAW too. Uses the same mags, belt links, and bolt heads. Easy to do.

You take over.

gas piston

oh and...

That was more directed toward G-man who got snippy when I called that project "vaporware."

Huh?

Yeah, if we swap out whole uppers instead of just replacing the barrels, I'd go for a piston. They could use one of those small ones that fit under the same handguards.

Well, it was a mix up on both our parts.

You wanted the 7.62mm rifle.

I was thinking SCAR-H and you meant the M-14.

The SCAR-H was the vaporware (ie: not around in sufficient amounts to be thrown into our guys' hands.)

Shame too - I saw LWRC's Sabre 7.62mm with a 12 inch barrel.

Now THAT'S a house fighter. And the Sabre doesn't have those gas tube issues.

Howzabout a real folding stock.

An AR-18 would be great, especially with 80-grain rounds. 20 inch barrel, but a real folder, and a good cocking handle, I'd go with it even if it were only a .22.

Wait. ya gotsa keep the original lower at least and the buffer assy.

I sez 18in barrel for the basic service rifle, 24in barrel for the DMR. An 80grner out of a 24in barrel would be pretty spiffy.

How about the pulse rifles from "Aliens?"

Yeah. We've got millions of hours of muscle memory.

You know, if HK weren't such wankers, the 417 would be awesome.

Not the 416, the 417.

But nein! We suck!

On the improved M16 side of things, Barrett M468.

This is what everyone should be issued. THE PERFECT AR SYSTEM

I move that corn be stricken from the roster immediately.

M468, sure. I'd love to see more business going to them, because fuq HK.

This is the Ultimate Tactical Weapon System for Operators. Maybe we need a new gun for the military because the AR's, like a has-been actor has lost all dignity. This is the Cory Feldman of guns here.

Please don't think for a second that I'm serious here folks.
