[CharlieDoan]

@TheRalphus666 Up to today, just keep 5.56mm /.223 the same and total re-design new gun, the gun can do excellent like AK and accuracy like M16A2, American can do that without any problems, US had a lot of excellent Engineer..Just put them to work...Galileo of Israel is a good riffles buy from them, coomon American just like to make money, let Israel make money..guns..Not aircrafts or maybe American just worry about lose face to the world!!! (no face so why worry lose?)

@CharlieDoan My uncle who was a Marine Grunt said his company had 2 cleaning rods,and they would risk their ass getting it to a jammed gun.I hate to think how many Military were killed because of a jammed Mattel 16.Yea my uncle told me also the C.I.D.G had WW 2 weapons.

[loopofpoop]

@CharlieDoan Much better, now I understand...

[CharlieDoan]

What are they aiming over there?? Coconut on the coconut trees?? I saw somethings fly up, Not parts of T-54/55 ( I Wish). They got power, over power in 1 place but when they need like la-Rang the VC got few PT-76 then US and South Vietnamese republic Run and Run and Run???? vietnam war is not SET to WIN...just to STOP enemies and to some points American are PROTECTED enemies too!!, For example when they bombs VC then VC go to LAO (vc call safety zone) that US not ALLOW to bomb them!! fuck that

[CharlieDoan]

@TheRalphus666 I saw VC and Communist countriesusing simillar American Ontos but with FULL AUTO for ANTI-AIRCRAFTS.. Killer Russian ...

- They said after they saw American made, they will send somethings later with cheaper, bigger and better. I believed that. In VN, VC already got Ak-47 then South VN soldiers still used Cabine .30 Semi Auto. SLOW kill

Later Ar-15 Still Semi-Auto with (M16A1) PROBLEMS! BAD POWDER and gun came without cleaning kits. We lost to enemies from little thing like this

@arthuro13

US soldiers kinda RICH soldiers, in order to call attack X target:

1/ B-52 Carpet bombs 2/Used CBU bombs (killed oxygen) with in 5km square

3/ 175mm canons make soft the grounds

4/ Send heavy tank M-48 go in front...shoot to emty bullets

5/Next M-113 with .50 shoot without stop

6/ LASTLY..US ARMY with M-4 are looking for birds to shoot make sure the birds are already BBQ with Teriyaki sauce kkk

So, M-4 or Springfield 30-06 can not reach 1.5kms to enemies just EXCUSES

numbers ??

105mm is < than 106mm correct?

- So, the cannon 105mm round (to me) seem to be bigger than this 106mm Recoil less round?? So God damn confuse? - what are they different in numbers (millimetres) or (Calibers?) - I know 1mm = .00392 Not so BIG different to me in METRIC and STANDARD

- By mathematics I undertand but ROUNDS ?? I don't get it?
