| Can you hear me now?  | For me, the sidearm weapon would be M1911, and the primary weapon would be AKSU-74....

| Optio | C8A2 Bias? OF COURSE! It's pretty much a shortened version of the C7 rifle.

| Optio | M9 Baretta and M-4, just the way that it is already set up in the U.S for armored crewmembers. |

| Optio | As for a pistol I'd give them the standard pistol that the ground forces use. Logistically wise it would be one of the best ways of going about arming a tank crewman. However I doubt that a pistol is sufficient so again I'd say that a carabine would the best. |

| Tribunus Laticlavius | It depends where I was deployed. But in general, I'd say the M-4 and a M-9. The AK-74SU is an interesting choice as well.

| Tribunus Laticlavius | P90 due to its short length, maybe Steyr AUG A2 with a 14" barrel if you want ammo commonality with everyone else. By the way, what is the current armament for US tank crews? My friend is shipping off to train to be part of an Army Abrams crew, and he says they get M4s or M240s.

| Milforum Swamp Dweller  | Steyr's been outsourced to an Australian company, so I guess that would depend on the tank's country of origin. Really it's the sort of question that needs to be answered from a logistics standpoint- what is issued to other soldiers, accepted, and standardized?
