M-14: Bought and used by 1 country for about 10 years, then donated to some allies as nobody wanted to buy it.
FN-FAL: Bought and used by over 100 countries, still being used in many today, being phased out in most from 1985 on.
HK G-3: Bought and used by over 50 countries, remains in use with many of them, being phased out by others since about 1990 on.

Where is your logic?


Dean.

Seeing as how the M14, M21 and M24 are all based on the M1A weapons system and all are still in use by the U.S. Military, I find the weapon to be durable, relieable, accurate.

Just because over 100 countries use it doesn't mean its the best. While the AK-47 is a great Assault rifle it's not bought for caliber or even durability, but because it's cheap, easy to fix and easy to make.

Well, The AK has several variants all around the world! I heard China has made a rifle that resembles the FAMAS. Any idea wad is it and can any one give me some pics?

Uh, the M24 is based on the Remington 700. And I'm pretty sure people buy the AK for two main reasons: price and reliability. Also it's a lot better than most of you American patriots will admit, especially the new AK-100 series.

Crap, sorry I miss read the article. It was M14, M14NM and M21.

The M25 is an M14-derived weapon as well. And the AK-100 series is still an AK...

well, those rifles are still good even if they are old!

Tell that to the U.S. Army about the M16.

Well, no use, they will not listen! Will they?
