Well what did I learn? I never saw accuracy, just a bunch of people holding rifles and pretty photos. If you don't show accuracy you are blowing smoke up my ass.
FNH gets an A from me for gun design and a big fat old F- for cost of accessories...
It royally SUCKS to have to pay $150 for a sling!!!!! Ridiculous to charge folks what you do for your weapons but the accessories??? COME ON FN!!!!! COME ON!!!
I think you can buy alot better pistols for less (GlocK) and their civilian rifles are OK, but no value for what they (dealers) want for them. Unless we vote out the Democrats and anyone who attacks our Constitution and right to bear arms.. these weapons could very easily be the ones used on you as troops are at your house looking to disarm you someday. Vote pro gun/ votr freedom first!
I know it's been 3 months, but FN sells to much more countries than just the US and Belgium.. Their biggest selling product for example, the FN FAL, was bought by practically half the world's militaries, but not to the US. And then there's the FN Minimi/M249 SAW.
that's because of a very strict gun laws and the governours are agains fire arms in civilian hands and see every reason fit to take away your fire arms.
+ public opinion is also agains fire arms, hollywood brainwashed :s
So that means our military is equipped by a foreign nation, that at any time could decide they no longer wanted to sell us weapons. That is genius on our part.
FN has been making arms for the US miltary since the early 20th. John Browning partnered with them starting at the end of the 19th century. they have a massive factory in the US for military arms like M16s and M249s. They built the Browning Hi Power (JB's improvement over his own 1911 design.) If its military and says Browning it was probably made by FN.
well the FNH F2000 is a semi auto civilian weapon along with many other FNH's but now that i think about it a major power depending on the weapons of a much smaller country doesn't really seem like a good idea.
this is not anywhere near the truth. many weapons that the army has are from other countries and some parts of the US made weapons have foreign parts.
U see that statement is a little wrong. sense firearms have been introduced into the armed services they have been made by private corperations and their manufacturing plants it is much cheaper and faster then having government facilities making them. even if the foreign government stops trade with us doesnt mean the company doesnt have a plant established in the states even if they stop making us guns we have about 10,000 more contractors ready to take their place to get government contracts
in the test by the U.S Army reliability test the XM8 was #1 the FN SCAR #2 the H&K416 #3 the army sad the new mag that the XM8/G36 uses its way it won !! but when it came to price In 2004 Congress denied $26 million dollars funding for 7,000 rifles $3714 each the FN SCAR $2800 H&K416 $800-1500 !!
Yeah your M4 was issued to you because it was the "best" rifle that could be mass produced for the military at the lowest cost. They have a bidding system on firearms in the US military and i dont agree with it as does many of the people the gun is issued to. Obviously. Its been a pain in the ass since it was first issued back in vietnam. Now.. if all of our troops were issued FN weapons of a wide range that would be awsome. But i figure people woudl bitch about them as well when issued.
they used the m16a1 in vietnam for the main assualt rifle.The colt commando was a rarely used carbine version of the m16a1,probably what you got mixed up with hehe.But your right the m16 was a dead mans rifle,very ridiculous.only 20 round magazines(generally)and the piece of shit jammed all the time.I bet if you tried to stick it up the ass of the man who made the gun,it would jam
in vietnam they also had a version that fired the 7.62 and no i am not mistaken my father faught in grenada with delta soldeirs and they can pretty much request any weapon that the us has in use so he likes the heavy caliber so he rquested for the m16 7.62 variant from vietnam
Thats called an AR-10... if anything the m16/ar-15 is a version of the ar-10 not the other way around. Also I'd hardly say it was "from" Vietnam because to the best of my knowledge it was only deployed in very limited numbers.
Most of the guns shown in the vid are Belgian designs, but produced in the US.
Although some of the greatest classic FN weaponry from the last century was designed by John Moses Browning (or based on his designs), he always worked together with Belgian engineers. And they continued the high grade of excellency in their designed weaponry after the death of Browning.
In short, the Belgian weapons designers are underestimated by most people.
FN Herstsal or FNH USA..all well made weapons either way..the M249 is doing work in Iraq killing many allah lovers with its 200rd belts..and for the FNP handguns..very well made. Thank you Belgium for making my beloved carry weapon!
funny that so many americans call belgium surrender monkies (hilariously confusing us with the french), muslim lovers, etc... when FN, a Belgian comany, supplies more than 70% of their small arms.
Belgian owned? It's a Belgian company that has a factory in the US... don't try to insinuate that FN is somehow American ;)
Just because one of their factories is in the US that makes them an American company? It's called a subsidiary, a daughtercompany... FN USA is a subsidiary of FN Herstal of Belgium. The Herstal group owns Browning & Winchester as well. Browning & Winchester are American companies in Belgian hands, FN USA is the US branch of FN Belgium. Note the difference.
I never said they were an American company, just stating they made the weapons here. Toyota has plants in America, but they are not an American company. I was just pointing out that the weapons we get are still made here, not imported, although yes, the money is exported.
In February 1902, John M. Browning came to FN Herstal with the prototype of an automatic shotgun which he had unsuccessfully offered to Winchester and Remington. More far-seeing than these two companies, FN soon expressed an interest in the weapon Most of the relations which FN would maintain with the Browning family originated from this dual contract.
Browning died in his office in Herstal in 1926 of a heart attack, with a total of 128 patents for 80 weapons, ASR Mechanica, 2007
Well what did I learn? I never saw accuracy, just a bunch of people holding rifles and pretty photos. If you don't show accuracy you are blowing smoke up my ass.
