reason why hk 36 over m-16:

because it rarely jams, lighter and in all aspects like an ak which does not need much maintance

Hangun:Glock 18
Submachinegun: HK MP5k
Assault rile:G36
Combat Shotgun: Frachi Spas
anti-personel sniper rifle :WA2000
General purpose machine gun (7.62mm):MG3
Heavy machine gun (12.5mm/.50cal): Browning M2HB

every Soldier would be equipped with special personal Armor
which would be completely sealed from the air (helmet included)
so gas and biologic warfare would be almost useless
The helmets would have stuff like nightvision air filters and a still big
viewing field so they do not obstruct so much

( I know it souns pretty futuristic and VERY expensive )

Yer Welcome, Shadowstalker...my Squad would look like this...

10 man Squad

Every member carries Glock 18 as sidearm, standard body armor no NBC gear (the possible enemies in the sub-sahara theatre don't have NBC capability) and night vision equipment and helmet with integrated radio system linked to a relay station that will boost the reception enough to reach home base.


Lead: M16/ 20" barrel (the 20" makes ballistics better over 200 meters than the 16")

3 Troops with M16/20" barrels

2 Troops with Mechem NTW-20/14.5 (Armor faced in this region ismostly think skinned light tanks) and MP5's

2 Troop with Mini-SS

2 troop with Scoped FAL



Glock 18 Ammo - each troop carries staqndar 20 rd clip in weapon with replacement 4 32 rd clips.
M16 Ammo - as much as possible
Mini-SS ammo - 1 belt in weapon, 2 extra belts in pouches
SS77 Ammo - same as Mini SS
FAL Ammo - as much as possible
MP5 Ammo - AMAP
Mechem NTW-20/14.5 - 10 rounds in each calibre.
