here is a good topic, what do you think was the best infantry weapon (rifle)


here are my choices:

World War 2: M1 Garand Rifle: it was the best semi-automatic rifle used during the war, so good that Japanese and German troops would drop their standard issued weapons and pick up M1s whenever they could

Cold War Era: AK-47: It was the more reliable and cheapest weapon. Most produced weapon in history. Period.

Modern Era: M16: It has a bewildering amount of after-market parts and upgrades for it and its highly reliable in its latest form and its very light and easy to shoot.

When ancient Rome was near defeat,
the invincible Tenth Legion was raised:
they beat the barbarians on the battlefield
and Rome gained peace with honour again.
When the traitor, on September the eighth,
left the fatherland in infamy,
the Tenth Flotilla was raised from the sea
and it brought weapons at the cry for honour!

Oh our Tenth Flotilla,
you that mocked England,
you victorious on Alexandria,
Malta, Souda and Gibraltar,
you already victorious upon the sea,
now even on the dry land
you will win!

To you Italian ships, stolen from us
not in battle but by treason,
and to you, our prisoners and dead brothers,
we swear:
we swear that we'll came back,
let this be God's and the Flag's will.
We swear that we'll fight
until we obtain an honourable peace!

Well i must say no matter what war its gotta be a Sniper Rifle, i know theres tons of em but hell when one guy can pin down 20 guys due to a fear that if one guy pops their head up theres a small piece of lead travelling straight through their skull/brain/back of skull lol....

I agree with gbotto except for that the M4 carbine is superior to the m-16
