>>27688517Did I say that? No, but if you know the history of the M-16 you know what I said is the truth. You DO know the history of the M-16, right? How it was pushed out before it was ready because of the usual inner political fuck ups?
Want me to make other examples? How about the complete inability of getting a decent LMG? What about the Marines adapting the M27 as a workaround because they can't get new rifles?
Russia on the other hand tends to try a lot of shit, all of it works, they just adapt to the most economically feasible option, not the most politically backed.
>>27688520Doesn't look like they're using old as shit gear, to me. Not where it matters. Would you ditch all M2's because they're "old"?
