I have 15, which is as much as you can have, so vote! I would go with the AEK-971 good old AK action with the balanced recoil!

Wow, I'm surprised that I've used this photo twice on this forum in a twenty four hour span...

And I can't believe the guy clumped the K1 and K2 together. The K1 and the K2 are very different weapons the only thing they have in common being the caliber.

Where is the H&K G3?

The G36 is the weapon that is to replace the G3.

From hands-on experience, I'd have to say that the best is the Robinson Armament XCR... just love how it shoots, and it's like 12 rifles in one considering all the barrel length and caliber options. The only reason it was disqualified from the SCAR competition was the lack of a blank firing adapter. I think they were only seriously considering FN in the first place anyways though, as they already provide almost all the small arms for our army.

Other than that I don't really like assault rifles, just battle rifles. I really like the Patriot Ordnance .308 piston driven AR, but it's crazy expensive and I only got to shoot 3 rounds out of one. AR-10 and FAL are my more commonly available favorites.

Liability, how can you identify the difference between an Assault Rifle and a Battle Rifle? To me that seems to be the same thing. Unless you are talking about the difference between a Lee Enfield SMLE and an M4 then you've lost me.

Battle rifles fire real rifle rounds like the 7.62x51mm NATO or .30-06, assault rifles fire intermediate rounds like the 5.56x45mm NATO and 7.62x39mm. At least that's my understanding.

I consider that the term "assault rifle" is something that was created by political simpletons.

The M16 is as much a battle rifle as the M1 Garand. Just as the M1 Garand is as much of a battle rifle as the Brown Bess Musket is. The technology advances and the tactics change. But the role of the tools stay the same. The Infantry Soldier's Battle Rifle is the same tool as it was 232 years ago.

the brown bass was a rifled barrel?
