TOP 10:Combat Rifles - Springfield 1903 (NO.8)

Ugh, almost everything you said was incorrect. The Sig 550 is a very accurate rifle, just ask the Swiss. The Sig 550 would actually be quite good in full auto, it weighs alot for a 5.56x45 rifle so it is controlable in full auto. The US DOES sell old M16's to other countries! Look at Israel, they have dozens of Vietnam era M16s. Countries tend to only have one infantry rifle today. They might give second like troops old rifles where the first line troops get the new rifles.

Ugh, if you evn bother to read, i said before that i confused 550 with the 552, also, yeah they do sell in israel and turkey since they own those countries with their americanization.

But they dont sell to european countries

WHAT? The AK-47 is older than the m16. It was adopted in the 1940's M16 was adopted in the 1960's.

the AK47 was adopted in 1950 but it was replaced by the AKM (Avtomat Kalashnikova Modernized) in 1960 and by the AK74 in 1975.
The m16 was adopted in 1960 and the m4 in 1995.
The gas-operated system that modern fireamrs use was introduced in 1905.
When people say AK47 they most likely mean AKM or AK74, which are newer than the m16

But you cannot argue that the AK series is infact older than the M16 series.

yes the first ak is older than the first m16, but the AK is a more advanced 4th generation

how about mosin nagant?

well ak47 accuracy is also average and the SIG 550 is very very similar to the AK but they are hands down effective. a friend who has shot the sg550 told me that the recoil was very very light.

the sig 556 is crap, its tweaked to suit the american market.

In full auto the recoil increases alot..ohh wait that was the small version the 552, never tried the 550

yep the 552/553 is like a sub machine.
