Whenever we talk about rifles, two names come into mind for sure.
M16
AK47
The first one is known for its high accuracy and the other one is known for the powerful ammo it uses. Both the rifles are effective in different scenarios. However they can be used anywhere.
Here's what I am trying to say
What if these two guns are mixed together and a new rifle is designed which is as powerful as AK47 and as accurate as M16. That will be something to rely on in any situation and region of the world. The outer design can be adopted from either rifle. I mean it can look like an M16 and have deadly power like AK47 or the opposite.
What do you comment ?
AK47+M16=M47

Just stumbled upon your blog here and wanted to toss my two cents in. The M14 or its replica the M1-A is by far one of the finest rifles I have ever fired. The AK 47 is a cool rifle but isn't known for their accuracy however you can roll over the damn thing with a tank, drop it in an ocean and pick it up and fire it.
ReplyDeleteIn WWII the M14 was the M1 Garand and then became the M14 which was used in Vietnam for a while until they switched to the M16 which many soldiers despised for jamming and misfire issues. They finally fixed this issue but unfortunately many people had already been injured by the weapon and it earned a place in military infamy
By the way the top photo you have labeled an M16, this is actually an M4 Carbine with the collapsible stock which is a chopped down version of the M16 but a different weapon.
Good points, but I disagree with that last sentence.
ReplyDeleteWell, the M16 is a baby gun, the calibre is .223, in civilised countries that is not dimensionally large enough or powerful enough to humanely kill a person. In Australia, we use it to shoot kangaroos, Australia's 'deer', but it would be considered barely enough to kill a goat (except at short range), and while many pigs are killed with it, it is definitely inadequate.
No, the problem is since the second world war, American soldiery has distanced itself from the enemy. They give the poor a chance to redemm themselves by fighting in foreign wars for undeclared reasons. Six weeks training and they are supposed to be "ready for battle" with someone defending their homeland from foreign invaders with an undeclared reason.
Americans believe in the notion of 'firepower' over the accuracy of the single shot: if you can't kill them at 100 meters with one shot, kill 'em with one thousand shots somewhere in their direction. Well they have to give their boys each a machine gun; it has to be light enough to carry around all the time; which means small cartridges with small bullets. Inhuman human 'killing' weapons. If you are going to kill an animal, you have to do it humanely, you have to be at least that much humane if you are going to kill a person.
Second, accuracy is not an attribute of the catridge (and some are better than others); accuracy is in the hands of the shooter who provides stability to the shot. You can imagine how young kids from the streets do, in that category.
There is no doubt that the .223 is an accurate cartridge, which is proved in rifle clubs all over, but they are experienced shooters not under the pressures of war.
Therefore a hybrid weapon must be one that has the American looks and Russian firepower, the reversed combination is unworthy of consideration in either looks or firepower.
Teaching the kids off the street to handle such a weapon is a different story.
