"Designed for the navy seals"? I though it was british...

WOw I think some of you guys take your knowledge of guns a little too seriously...so what if someone who plays COD is interested to see what the real deal is like?

@willthedumbass just because it is british doesnt mean it isnt meant for a diff army or country

[mrajr005]

This weapon is fucking heavy

@Daemeon93 It's not unheard of for weapons used by certain countries to be designed or made in other countries. Look at the MP5, that SMG has been used by Americans, Brits, Japanese, but it's German, look at the FAL, that rifle was used by nearly all of Western Europe and Canada, and was Belgian made, the same company that made the AS50 also made the AWP for use by the Swedish. Is it that hard for people to believe that countries can use foreign guns?

@Sagramorbald Mind explaining their coverage of H&K weapons, or the AK series? Heck did you see the Military Channel's special on Spetsnaz?

@jnapier32 i agree if these guys was real gun nuts they would be happy to get people interested into their shit also mw3 brought me here and i dont give a single fuck

@Alteonify Actually I do. Discovery and History channel - every US weapon is "ultimate", every design will "change wars forever, yada yada yada.

Other countries? They don't exist. The best tank? The M1A1, not the Leopard A7+. The best attack helicopter, the Apache, not the KA-50 Hokum (or the Ka-52), the best AR, the M-16 family, not the G36 family, the best artillery, the Paladin (and not the PzH 2000), the best IFV, the Bradley and not the BMP-3 family...

Need I continue? Propaganda.
