@Quinnstafer First of all, learn English. You're quite the illiterate prick. Secondly, if the firearm is cleaned and maintained properly, the weapon WILL be reliable. This is not the Vietnam Conflict where M16A1s were not fitted with galvanised barrels, and because of that error the ball powder dirtied the barrel of the weapon. That error was rectified in the M16A2, and consequently the M4 family of firearms.
@lb8068 A rifle should be able to fire when it's not cleaned or maintained though. In dire circumstances, a soldier may not have the time or might be lacking cleaning supplies. You mean chrome lined barrel, not galvanized. The M16A1 had a chrome lined barrel. The error was rectified with the M16A1.
@lb8068 To my knowledge, the M16A2 and M4 did not improve upon the reliability of the M16A1. All the M16A2 added was a heavier barrel with a new rifling twist so it should stabalize heavier bullets,different sight set up, and different furniture. No reliability improvements that I'm aware of.
@Quinnstafer Actully they are very reliable, extremely easy to field strip & clean - It's as reliable as a gun can get if the firearm is cleaned each day. (As we do)
So don't go shouting out pathetic comments that you clearly don't know anything about when I can bet you have never even held a genuine M4 before.
@Quinnstafer oh come on! you nobo... you have just seen those vids for soldiers in nam with m16s and saying this... nam war ended around 1970.. now its 2011 u have no idea what changes they have made on this perticular weapon during these 40 years... for me the m4 and m16 are the most reliable weapons ever (TIP: do a good reaserch before saying a bullshit, not just watching 10 vids)
What I find interesting is that people here in America love short-barreled rifles, but the SAS and other groups use a 16" length version, which is the minimal required length for civilian rifles in the USA.
It's not exactly the same as the 1st ones used in Nam. The front handguard is different, the bore and chamber are chrome-lined and the carry handle is detachable, plus the picatinny rails.
It worked extremely well in Iraq. Afghanistan is a different story, however. My big complaint with it is its usual caliber 5.56mm which is too inconsistent with the damage it does. At certain range it's devastating, too close, it goes right through causing a "clean" wound, too far and it doesn't have enough energy or mass to do much. They should have chambered it in something like .243. USSR did go to small cal after information from Nam was considered. Wonder why.
OMG people' it's for the general public's entertainment. He didn't literally mean they're the same weapons - he's talking practically. Your average joe (especialy in the uk) wouldn't be able to identify a difference between the two.
No the m4 is not in apocalypse now it is was the m16a1 witch was inspired by the armalite ar10 the m4 is the last version of the m16 family of self loading rifles
Apocalypse Now? WRONG. The M4 was never in Vietnam, or in that movie. It's only been in production since 1994... Ouch what a blunder. You'd think an SAS guy would know his shit
@richardmcginty Actually, If you know enough about the variants of the design, beginning with Eugene Stoner's first models, you know to let his comment slide. Minor aesthetic, component, and manufacturer changes are all that separate the early AR's from it's most modern variants. Inside it is essentially the same rifle operating on the same principles as the CAR-15 was all those years ago.
@richardmcginty If you are going to give us your expertise then at least get your facts correct you tool. Mcnab didn't say the M4 was in Nam. He said it's essentially the same weapon system which it is. 'The M4 carbine is from a family of firearms tracing its lineage back to earlier carbine versions of the M16, all based on the original AR-15 designed by Eugene Stoner and made by ArmaLite'
@mickeyeye1 plenty from you mr, he could easily kill you with his bare hands, doesnt matter how big and strong you are, these people are trained in CQB and you would be an easy target, big angry no focus, you have no clue you idiot, people...especially the s.a.s and armed forces are trained to use others weight against them :)
Considering you guys use this rifle regularly, what's the SAS opinion on using the forward assist button on the M4. It's an SOP for us every time we hit the bolt release, and it's a pain in the arse!
it's not really about himself being recognized; aparently there are still people in Northern Ireland that would get murdered by the IRA if they recognize him, from his intelligence days.
He also has a film on Youtube in which he says that the SA80 is a great weapon but something in his tone here suggests to me that he prefers this one - he almost sounds excited, in fact.
Every MG is "the best weapon in the world" if you stand or lay on the right side of it ;) But I wouldn`t vouch for the SA80, at least not for the old model before being redesigned by HK. On several occasions british troopers told me the hated it. Friends who had the chance to try it out affirmed it by stating they would rather stay with their G36. Some of them told me they randomly ejected clips due to suboptimal placement of the release button and it also jammed suspiciously often.
i love all you internet tough guys who talk shit about allied countries like you have set foot in them before. also superman5051 Andy said it was a good weapon and I'm pretty sure he knows his shit. you on the other hand just talk shit.
Fuck all you american twats whining "ner ner ner m4 is not like m16a1 andy andy doesnt know about guns" maybe the sas focus on the application of weapons rather than history. But of course americans with your stupendous lame pride in firearm history must slave over pathetic facts.
@LoveShock2 M4s and M16s are just variants of AR-15s. They are pretty much the same thing except the M16 has a rifle length gas system and a 20" barrel, and an M4 has a Carbine length gas system and a 14.5" barrel.
i'm willing to bet you that there is no more than 1 ( one ) layer of white that the black people transparently stalk us through. that means if you go from white to East asian the black folks have to organize stalk you through white then East Asian and then if that gets saturated move to West Asian so the black folks have to organize stalk you through White then West Asian and keep this going ad nauseum and so on.
@LoveShock2 ......The CAR-15 is literally a shrunken down m16. In a way, he's right in saying it's the same gun, because they're all based around the same direct impingement gas system. Also, he says it's a variant literally seconds later...if you were listening.
@GeeWizzVideos Yep, you are right, the US has been part of a conspiracy to kill any allies it sees in Iraq and Afghanistan. I guess the us military has been successful in covering it up, and not letting wikileaks figure out. Get real, it was a terrible mistake on the parts of the US soldiers involved. I know a US special forces soldier who became great friends with a SAS soldier in Iraq. I think you are just anti-american, plain and simple.
@MpsAREthieves I don't know what your stance is on extrajudicial execution, but personally, the last people I want policing the streets are shoot-to-kill special forces who even the army are dubious about deploying due to their behaviour. Did you hear about one of them who needed to be stopped from executing an unarmed terrorist at the Iranian Embassy?
@SnakeOnAPlane Yes I did and I wish he had shot the bastard. I have no time nor energy for anybody who commits or engages in terrorist activities. It was understandable they wanted to kill him but it would of been against "policy".
@phinch1 Which has nothing to do with public order "riot control" policing. SFOs and SAS have inter trained previously and likely did so at the Olympic village.
@MpsAREthieves thats expensive policing. there not taught to take down low level criminals, there trained to take down high value targets they probably cost well over 100,000 pounds to train considering the price of ammo and equipment and salary
@MpsAREthieves ...or maybe ex SAS like McNab. I think using current SAS troops would be a big "mis-allocation of valuable military resources" (quote from Saving Private Ryan) :D
Actually they are making this ambidextrous, heavy barrel, gas piston, it'll be fully automatic again , and the U.S. Army bought the rights in 09 so companies like bushmaster, H&K, Smith and Wesson, will be able to compete for parts, relievers and such. So honestly to be honest this will be wayyyyyy better than before the gas piston is sooooo much better. So much more reliable.
I realy respect him as soldier or any other soldier as mather of fact,couse soldiers job is war,and war is seriouse bussines,u dont fuck around with war,but i just dont understand those type of comments o they protect our freedom our country our way of life,maybe i am dumb but can someone explain to me how can invading of a country that never attacked England or USA or any other NATO country be considhered as protection of those countries
@Kevin4life616 that is actually very racist one of my friends is Muslim and he's pretty much pacifist it's only the extremist who are terrorists. It's even in the Qur'an that muslims should respect others religions and not harm innocent people
You're right...but I spent 10 years, including three combat tours, in the US Army and during that time one of my duties was an armorer. I simply tried to point out that the Vietnam-era M16 is VERY different than the models currently used by the US military (barrel, sights, etc). To call today's M16/M4 a variant of the older rifles is kind of a stretch.
@dmharvey79 No its not, they all have the same action, the only major difference between the modern upper and the original one is probably the forward assist.
@1ohtaf1 forward assist is the same...differences include barrel twist rate, barrel diameter, handguards, and rear sight assembly. Trust me on this one hero, I carried these rifles for 10 years and there are a lot of differences between the original ones and the rifles being used today. Not going to argue that they aren't great rifles though... (-:
@dmharvey79 Yeah im sure, everyone on here has been on mars and been in this war and bla bla bla. The original M16 did not have a Forward assit, it came in the A1. Furthermore it was a tear drop FA rather than the modern circular one. If you compare an A4 to an A1 or eariler, yes it does have differences they are different ARs but never the less they are both ARs, when you say it is a very different rifle you imply the difference is something like an AK and a Mini 14.
@1ohtaf1 Ok, they are the same weapon...they only have different maximum ranges, different rear sights, and fire different weight projectiles. You got me, I give up.
@dmharvey79 Yeah, 7 grains difference, you saing someone shooting 150gr in their .308 and when they switch to a 168gr its a "completely different gun"?
@1ohtaf1 yep, hand any Soldier/Marine an A1 and see if they don't immediately notice that they have a different rifle. Not saying they are totally different, just very different. Like I said, they only changed the barrel, sights, trigger components, ammunition, magazine, etc...so it could go both ways I guess. (-:
@dmharvey79 If you are just comparing within an AR15 spectrum, yes it is, but the fact that you mentioned magazine and ammunition is laughable as i mentioned in by previous comment. Furthermore you can switch hand guards and the 1-12 twist to the h bar 1-7 twist easily. If these minute changes on the same rifle to you are "a very different rifle" than I’m guessing that you think an AK is a ball point pen?
@1ohtaf1 well yes, in terms of the "AR15 spectrum" and I'm not trying to toss the AK or any other rifle into the mix. We can talk in circles all day long, the fact of the matter is the M16A2/M16A3/M4A2 commonly issued today is a lot different than the M16A1 issued 30+ years ago...as I originally stated. Maybe it would be easier to highlight the parts they have in common?
@dmharvey79 It would be acceptable if you were speaking in a subject just about AR15s but you were speaking about service rifles and a M16A1 and M16A2 has alot of silimarities because it is the same rifle outfitted differently to fill a role better. The parts are swappable between the two. Even in the AR spectrum they are not that far appart, AR pistols, short stroke piston ARs, ARs in different calibers like 6.5 Grendel and 6.8SPC etc.
@dmharvey79 They have everything in common as you can interchange all the parts. Maybe except the Rear sight assembly, but would you consider a FAL with a Hampton A2 lower to be a "very different rifle" to a FAL with a standard steel lower with standard peep sights? I wouldnt even call a rifle manufactured on an existing design "very different" from the original rifle let alone a rifle that just had its sights swapped out.
@1ohtaf1 So the M16A1 is the same as an M16A2 or M16A3 because its possible to swap most of the parts between the three? Once you start doing that you're no longer talking about the nomenclatures outlined above, as they were issued during their respective times in history. Of course the two rifles will have similarities, the A2 did evolved from the A1, but all things considered they're more different than they are the same.
@dmharvey79 In what way? i have explained myself and proved you wrong while you just keep stating your point with nothing to back it up. The fact that the rifle had a heavy barrel put into it and better sights to aid the marine to have better marksmanship makes it more different than the same? The rifles are not only the same action and has exactly the same design and role but was also made by the same company makes them different rifles? So if i change the grips on a 1911 its the same deal?
@1ohtaf1 tear down an A1, tear down an A2, and see how many parts are exactly the same. You'll have a stripped lower, a bolt assembly, bolt carrier, and maybe a couple parts from the trigger assembly that are actually the same...all of ther parts will be different, even if they're similar and/or interchangable. Not sure how else I can put it to you, part-for-part they are different weapons, hence the different nomenclatures.
@dmharvey79 With your logic two A1s are also different weapons, because no one thing can be in two places at once. I refer back to my previous comments and the fact that they are not only the same design but have the same action. And also to my 1911 question to you. What if i switch out the two piece guild rod with a standard lenght gi rod? That and the grips. When you compare that to a stock TRP, part or part they are different weapons, just like a glock and a kabar.
@1ohtaf1 yes, they are two different A1 rifles with the same nomenclature. Now take one of those same A1s, swap out the barrel, install a new upper with an adjustable rear sight assembly, swap out the butt stock/forearm/grip, install a trigger group with burst instead of auto, (basically every major component of any rifle) and you'll have an A2. Then...look at the big pile of A1 parts that are left over and there is how the two models of this rifle are "very different."
@dmharvey79 Yeah because a buttstock that is 5/8 of an inch longer is a "major component" of a rifle, so is the grips on the 1911. There for a trp with cocobolo grips and one with rubber grips are "very different"
@1ohtaf1 that's one of the many differences...I notice you choose to focus on grips for a different weapon rather than address the other difference I've pointed out. Stay on topic...no need to compare apples and oranges. (-:
@dmharvey79 Notice how you completely disregard the fact that these rifles have the same action and same design, just improvements like a heavy barrel and 3 round bursts to help troops be more accurate. You ignore the facts and focus on points like a 5/8" longer butt stock and focused that it had a 1-7" barrel claiming that makes them completely different rifles. And you did not answer my question on the 1911 and my other one on if you feel that glocks and sigs are from different dimensions?
@1ohtaf1 Look at the military specs for the A1 and A2 (effective range on area/point targets, rate of fire, sustained rate of fire, etc). They' are "very different"....
@dmharvey79 So if an A1 and an A2 is "very different" to you, Do you feel that the difference between a glock and a sig is like being in a different dimension?
@dmharvey79 All things considered a springer TRP with cocobolo hardwood grips are more different than they are the same when compared to a TRP with Pachmyer Rubber grips...
@Kcon83 it's personal preference really he spent a decade in the sas and had a huge impact on many terrorist groups so he does it for his and other squad members protection
@rhysthebeastfilms Slightly incorect actually, half of his squad and most SAS members don't have to conceal their faces, the only reason they do is because if people knew what these SF's looked like, it would endanger people who were seen helping them, such as civillians.
sorry but both of your comments are only very minor reasons why he HAS to be covered up.
he was in northern ireland where he worked combating the ira. if his identity was discovered it could potentially put other people in the armed forces and in the SRR in danger as he didnt work as a soldier more of a SF BG and C/T unit
@Kcon83 He has to cover himself up primarily to protect people who have helped him, such as civillians in areas where he may have been operating. Eg. A man is seen talking to someone and seems to have handed him or told him something important, no big deal, suddenly you find out that man was SAS and used that info to destroy a high value target or something of the sort. If someone on the recieving end of the attack finds out this civvie co-opperated with him, bad news for the civvie, real bad.
It's sad how covert he has to be (SAS). The things these heroes have to do for us and what they sacrifice is just unimaginable. My father was in the US Special Forces (Green Berets) and can't tell me anything now. Though I'm inspired by these "selfless soldiers" and want to follow their footsteps, I cannot handle the feats they conquer to protect us. Andy McNab is a true model. If there are any veterans who are reading this, I'm letting you know that I GREATLY honor all you have done for us.

@BeyondLame ...His face is hidden because to this day, there are people (informants) who helped him and worked with him while he served in Northern Ireland, fighting against the IRA.. These people still live there and their lives would be at risk if McNab's identity was known. It's not so much to protect himself, but to protect those that collaborated with him and his fellow SAS mates over there. Read his book, "Immediate Action" it tells all about it and is quite excellent, you will enjoy it.
For all you modern warefare dickheads, this guy has been in actual COMBAT not gaining killstreaks on a video game like you fags. Get a life dickheads and show sum respect.
for fucks sake I am soooo fucking pissed off. everytime I watch a video like this there is some COD playing pussy spouting lies about the weapon. they think they know everything because Call Of Duty can not lie!!!!! FUUUUUUCK
@RICKYRASPER You should learn some respect, this man is has given many years of his life in service of the United Kingdom. He's an SAS veteran and his entire military career he's spend defending citizens like you, I seriously don't understand people like yourself. Don't like the video, move on, no need for personal insults; especially towards someone who has done so much to protect our freedom.
@Sevenoneight7 Dear Sevenoneight,I know personally Andy Mac Nab.I'm an italian parà veteran Italian Air special forse 9th battalion Col Moschin FOLGORE DIVISION. Andy Mac Nab has been himself betrayd too by false poison propaganda made by U.K. and all western Countryes gouvernments.Our TRUE enemy are NOT arabian,but US & Isrealy gouvernment. Do you understand it? If you have eyes to watch and mind to understand it'll be al clear to you.
@Ubaldo421 If you knew Andy McNab personnally and if you were actually a special forces veteran you wouldn't be telling me this. A major part of SF training is not to give away information, especially about protected citizens (which McNab is one, and obviously Andy isn't his real name). He was not betrayed by the UK, he knew what he joined for, he loves this country and he was once the most decorated veteran in the armed forces.
@Sevenoneight7 Pardon me sir, but but this cretin is a CIVILIAN. I'm sure you are aware that a CITIZEN is someone who makes the safeguarding of the world we know his personal business...
@Sevenoneight7 Protect freedom? More like protecting the government that is taking away freedom and forcing you to rely on them for "security" and "safety".
@RICKYRASPER ooh looks like we have a member of the cod squad.. how many years have you devoted to the military? more than likely five years of mw makes you an expert? fuck you and your basement dwelling ways mcnab has devoted years of service to the most prestigeous military service on earth, youre too stupid to talk, go eat a bag of cheetos and return to your box tard
@RICKYRASPER Have you read the bravo two zero book that explanes what he and his sqaud had to go through? also he was the most highly decorated serving soldier in the british army when he left the SAS in 1993. So for a start he got into the SAS. He does not live on his xbox and think if i can shoot someone in the game he can shoot someone in real life. Please show respect or shut up because he has tried to protect you're freedom.
Definitely I'd agree that he is a very skilled, very very real soldier. That's without doubt.
His job was protecting my freedom? I'd find that debatable, considering that I'm a London-born artist, and that one of my work partners and friends is kurdish Iraqi, so we do know what the Gulf War is about, it wasn't about *my* freedom, or for that matter his.
Still, Respect for a Soldier, I fully understand he is not a politician or general.
@crazypunk6396 It would be hard to include the MP7 because that gun is fairly recent & Black Ops takes place in the Cold War era. The Colt Comando(in Black Ops) is the predecessor to the M4.
@chauvesoris Black Ops really doesn't stick to details. I mean, it had some sort of GAU minigun at the 1953 Vorkuta uprising, used by an American who was capture in the Bay of Pigs invasion in 1961. The "Colt Commando" they had in Vietnam was a flat top with Troy sights, something that wouldn't be around for quite some time, same with ACOGs. The SPAS-12 wasn't made until 1979, and won't cycle "Dragons Breath" rounds, which fire little more than sparks. Cuban police had handmade ASP pistols.
So when do I use full auto on an AR? I'm looking at training up however I can to get the capability to play ARMA2 correctly. ARMA 2 is a commercial version of a milsim produced by Bohemia Interactive. So if you go Rambo you're going to end up dead quicker than anything. You need to try to play it like you're out on the field. The same could be translated to the MP game Red Orchestra where they went nuts on realism as well. RO is punishing as hell for any muppet trying to play Rambo.
@johnlinncon I'd never shoot some one for real. I'm just enjoying the hell out of a brutally hard mil sim game. The first version Operation Flashpoint was good enough that the Army demanded that they make VBS1 for their military training. The game ends up being brutally difficult. It's either this or you find a few guys and get drunk and play with airsoft rifles all day.

At certain range it's devastating, too close, it goes right through causing a "clean" wound, too far and it doesn't have enough energy or mass to do much. They should have chambered it in something like .243. USSR did go to small cal after information from Nam was considered. Wonder why.

@Twirlyhead
Every MG is "the best weapon in the world" if you stand or lay on the right side of it ;) But I wouldn`t vouch for the SA80, at least not for the old model before being redesigned by HK. On several occasions british troopers told me the hated it. Friends who had the chance to try it out affirmed it by stating they would rather stay with their G36. Some of them told me they randomly ejected clips due to suboptimal placement of the release button and it also jammed suspiciously often.

So honestly to be honest this will be wayyyyyy better than before the gas piston is sooooo much better. So much more reliable.

You're right...but I spent 10 years, including three combat tours, in the US Army and during that time one of my duties was an armorer. I simply tried to point out that the Vietnam-era M16 is VERY different than the models currently used by the US military (barrel, sights, etc). To call today's M16/M4 a variant of the older rifles is kind of a stretch.
dmharvey79 10 months ago
@dmharvey79 No its not, they all have the same action, the only major difference between the modern upper and the original one is probably the forward assist.
1ohtaf1 9 months ago
@1ohtaf1 forward assist is the same...differences include barrel twist rate, barrel diameter, handguards, and rear sight assembly. Trust me on this one hero, I carried these rifles for 10 years and there are a lot of differences between the original ones and the rifles being used today. Not going to argue that they aren't great rifles though... (-:
dmharvey79 9 months ago
@dmharvey79 Yeah im sure, everyone on here has been on mars and been in this war and bla bla bla. The original M16 did not have a Forward assit, it came in the A1. Furthermore it was a tear drop FA rather than the modern circular one. If you compare an A4 to an A1 or eariler, yes it does have differences they are different ARs but never the less they are both ARs, when you say it is a very different rifle you imply the difference is something like an AK and a Mini 14.
1ohtaf1 9 months ago
@1ohtaf1 Ok, they are the same weapon...they only have different maximum ranges, different rear sights, and fire different weight projectiles. You got me, I give up.
dmharvey79 9 months ago
@dmharvey79 Yeah, 7 grains difference, you saing someone shooting 150gr in their .308 and when they switch to a 168gr its a "completely different gun"?
1ohtaf1 9 months ago
@1ohtaf1 yep, hand any Soldier/Marine an A1 and see if they don't immediately notice that they have a different rifle. Not saying they are totally different, just very different. Like I said, they only changed the barrel, sights, trigger components, ammunition, magazine, etc...so it could go both ways I guess. (-:
dmharvey79 9 months ago
@dmharvey79 If you are just comparing within an AR15 spectrum, yes it is, but the fact that you mentioned magazine and ammunition is laughable as i mentioned in by previous comment. Furthermore you can switch hand guards and the 1-12 twist to the h bar 1-7 twist easily. If these minute changes on the same rifle to you are "a very different rifle" than I’m guessing that you think an AK is a ball point pen?
1ohtaf1 9 months ago
@1ohtaf1 well yes, in terms of the "AR15 spectrum" and I'm not trying to toss the AK or any other rifle into the mix. We can talk in circles all day long, the fact of the matter is the M16A2/M16A3/M4A2 commonly issued today is a lot different than the M16A1 issued 30+ years ago...as I originally stated. Maybe it would be easier to highlight the parts they have in common?
dmharvey79 9 months ago
@dmharvey79 It would be acceptable if you were speaking in a subject just about AR15s but you were speaking about service rifles and a M16A1 and M16A2 has alot of silimarities because it is the same rifle outfitted differently to fill a role better. The parts are swappable between the two. Even in the AR spectrum they are not that far appart, AR pistols, short stroke piston ARs, ARs in different calibers like 6.5 Grendel and 6.8SPC etc.
1ohtaf1 9 months ago
@dmharvey79 They have everything in common as you can interchange all the parts. Maybe except the Rear sight assembly, but would you consider a FAL with a Hampton A2 lower to be a "very different rifle" to a FAL with a standard steel lower with standard peep sights? I wouldnt even call a rifle manufactured on an existing design "very different" from the original rifle let alone a rifle that just had its sights swapped out.
1ohtaf1 9 months ago
@1ohtaf1 So the M16A1 is the same as an M16A2 or M16A3 because its possible to swap most of the parts between the three? Once you start doing that you're no longer talking about the nomenclatures outlined above, as they were issued during their respective times in history. Of course the two rifles will have similarities, the A2 did evolved from the A1, but all things considered they're more different than they are the same.
dmharvey79 9 months ago
@dmharvey79 In what way? i have explained myself and proved you wrong while you just keep stating your point with nothing to back it up. The fact that the rifle had a heavy barrel put into it and better sights to aid the marine to have better marksmanship makes it more different than the same? The rifles are not only the same action and has exactly the same design and role but was also made by the same company makes them different rifles? So if i change the grips on a 1911 its the same deal?
1ohtaf1 9 months ago
@1ohtaf1 tear down an A1, tear down an A2, and see how many parts are exactly the same. You'll have a stripped lower, a bolt assembly, bolt carrier, and maybe a couple parts from the trigger assembly that are actually the same...all of ther parts will be different, even if they're similar and/or interchangable. Not sure how else I can put it to you, part-for-part they are different weapons, hence the different nomenclatures.
dmharvey79 9 months ago
@dmharvey79 With your logic two A1s are also different weapons, because no one thing can be in two places at once. I refer back to my previous comments and the fact that they are not only the same design but have the same action. And also to my 1911 question to you. What if i switch out the two piece guild rod with a standard lenght gi rod? That and the grips. When you compare that to a stock TRP, part or part they are different weapons, just like a glock and a kabar.
1ohtaf1 9 months ago
@1ohtaf1 yes, they are two different A1 rifles with the same nomenclature. Now take one of those same A1s, swap out the barrel, install a new upper with an adjustable rear sight assembly, swap out the butt stock/forearm/grip, install a trigger group with burst instead of auto, (basically every major component of any rifle) and you'll have an A2. Then...look at the big pile of A1 parts that are left over and there is how the two models of this rifle are "very different."
dmharvey79 9 months ago
@dmharvey79 Yeah because a buttstock that is 5/8 of an inch longer is a "major component" of a rifle, so is the grips on the 1911. There for a trp with cocobolo grips and one with rubber grips are "very different"
1ohtaf1 9 months ago
@1ohtaf1 that's one of the many differences...I notice you choose to focus on grips for a different weapon rather than address the other difference I've pointed out. Stay on topic...no need to compare apples and oranges. (-:
dmharvey79 9 months ago
@dmharvey79 Notice how you completely disregard the fact that these rifles have the same action and same design, just improvements like a heavy barrel and 3 round bursts to help troops be more accurate. You ignore the facts and focus on points like a 5/8" longer butt stock and focused that it had a 1-7" barrel claiming that makes them completely different rifles. And you did not answer my question on the 1911 and my other one on if you feel that glocks and sigs are from different dimensions?
1ohtaf1 9 months ago
@1ohtaf1 Look at the military specs for the A1 and A2 (effective range on area/point targets, rate of fire, sustained rate of fire, etc). They' are "very different"....

The SPAS-12 wasn't made until 1979, and won't cycle "Dragons Breath" rounds, which fire little more than sparks. Cuban police had handmade ASP pistols.

ARMA 2 is a commercial version of a milsim produced by Bohemia Interactive. So if you go Rambo you're going to end up dead quicker than anything. You need to try to play it like you're out on the field. The same could be translated to the MP game Red Orchestra where they went nuts on realism as well. RO is punishing as hell for any muppet trying to play Rambo.

@johnlinncon I'd never shoot some one for real. I'm just enjoying the hell out of a brutally hard mil sim game. The first version Operation Flashpoint was good enough that the Army demanded that they make VBS1 for their military training. The game ends up being brutally difficult. It's either this or you find a few guys and get drunk and play with airsoft rifles all day.
