@liquidsnakeckw they are, considering the ACOG(Advanced Combat Optical Gunsight) is a 4x scope that trijicon has been making for only about 10 years. Everybody sees a low power scope nowadays and thinks its an acog....thanks to these video games, everybody is so misinformed now...like the fact that they rate the power of a damn Makarov PM to being Higher than that of a 1911....Not to be an asshole, but if its not made by Trijicon, then its not an "ACOG"

Wow. The Armalite plant was in Hollywood, CA back in the day. So much has changed for the worse.

@alekzander2010 any hk product Is not less expensive. Not to mention 416 crams a piston on a BCG design not meant for one and causes excess buffer wear,receiver wear, and bolt lug wear. It fucks with the locking time. People been putting pistons in te m16 platform sense 1970 and it didn't catch on then. U want a piston buy a gun designed from ground up with one.

An M16 with marksman sight and an M203 grenade launcher is unbeatable. Nothing could change my good opinion of this gun.

[alekzander2010]

@AtOthenewbkillah m416 is a german re-make its more reliable and cheaper if am not mistaken the XM8 (Also german) was rejected the plastic melted over the barrel in full auto and the SCAR is for spec-ops the ACR however might replace the 16

[jacki4805]

now the m4 took place of the m16

[FALCON131001]

@AtOthenewbkillah Dont worry they wont those guns are written in the history nothing can replace them ;)

[Pinter333]

@Tennessee0331 True that. Those blasted videogames makes everyone think their weapon experts. It's annoying.

[AlllamericanQB]

They used to not like low caliber weapons, military views are always changing nowadays



[AlllamericanQB]

@Tennessee0331 I believe u are a saint sir for what u have said. how can a Makarov PM be stronger than the .45 ACP's stopping power? it's bullshit

[AtOthenewbkillah]

Too bad they might replace the M16/M4 systems with SCAR, ACR, XM8, or the M416 models.

[AtOthenewbkillah]

If they don't like low caliber weapons than how come the M1 does less damage than an M1911? Doesn't make much sense...
