Meanwhile in the infantry.

I love you.

You in the military?
obvious question I know, sorry

I went through basic, and right now I am waiting to be deployed, but sadly, my enlisted job has a waiting list that is long, so It is going to be a couple of months before I am deployed.

Respect to you, sir, I'm in the CF as an Infanteer.

Thanks man, Amerifag waiting to get my job as a Security Force fag (I seriously didn't know that their was such a long waiting list for these guys), then after I get my feet wet, I'm going to become an officer and join the PJs.

Ah, one of the Parajumpers, those guys are fucking though as shit and I give massive props to you if you make it. Where did you do your basic?

My recruiter shipped me to I think it was the Lackland Air Force Base, I think... maybe... I don't know, right know I am too lazy to google foo it.

Hey just wondering but how long is basic in the US?
Another of me, as well

For me it was an eight week program

I agree, single shot is the way to go, since you'll usually end up sending rounds over their head and burning out your barrel. But, some people prefer it for building clears in close quarters or you are just trying to get the guy to put his head down, or your SAW has gone down for a moment and you need to fill the void. I'm just saying, options are always the best solution.

the M4 is the M16 CQB variant because the M16 is too long to maneuver around in rooms, as for the SAW which was designed to shorten the M249, it's still too long and heavy thus why now they're changing to the M27, imho the M27 is as useless as an M4 in full auto

**SILENCEnight rolled a random image posted in comment #22 at Funny Signs Part 2 ** so what you're saying is... Never go full retard?

When properly trained, use of fully-automatic fire in combat can be quite useful, especially close quarters. and 5.56 doesn't hurt, even in full-auto. but overall, it is better to stick to semi-auto especially at ranges.

The m16 replaced the m14 because the 7.62 was too big to fire accurately in full auto and the gun was too big and heavy... so why didn't they just give it a composite stock, shorten the barrel, and re-chamber it for 5.56 avoiding all the problems they had with the m16 and probably saving a ton a money?

The reason why the M14 was replaced by the M16 wasn't because it was too inaccurate to fire full auto, arguably, the M14 is more accurate, and not because it was a bit large, it primarily was because 5.56 was a cheaper, and lighter caliber, and because the M16 was easier to mass produce. And make no mistake, the M14 is still being used today except it is not an infantry rifle, like the M16, it got a face lift, and depending on it's purpose, it is known as the M21, the MK 14 aka EBR, among other names.

How do you get that custom made?

That yours? I got one of those receivers as well haha

ohmygod I can't breathe

Upotte may not have been the best anime, or made the most sense, but it did make for some great reaction pics.

Sig is best gun/character.

I think that's a m16a3 or a4 one of em only has burst and no full auto the other has no burst but it does have full auto

Its hard to tell by just the lower reciever but the M16A3 which is what the marine corps generally uses is full auto and semi, the army which is my branch generally only uses M4s, though some non combat arms mos' use an M16A4 which is burst and semi.

OH HERE
thanks

where?

suppressive fire is mostly used when flanking, or having the enemy pinned down disallowing them movement, or in some cases, when you're under fire and you only know the general direction of the one shooting at you

Which is typically used with full auto. why I said suppressing fire.

Most M4s have 3-round burst there, but its just as retarded to use as full auto.

Apparently.

You really do never use auto though.
