Quoted: Noveske has a rifle in use by some SOCOM units. The MCX SURG is set to replace the CQBR, so I’d think that will be fairly common, if not the new “standard,” as it were. View Quote Quoted: I thought the URG-1 was the known replacement? Or was that for another group? View Quote You guys are mixing up SOCOM programs with JSOC. The Noveske's (already talked about in this thread) are the issued carbine at DEVGRU (ST6), a JSOC unit. The URG-I and SURG are SOCOM programs. |

Quoted: What does "the best" carbine do for an operator that it doesn't do for anyone else? View Quote I guess it depends on use: I'd love a 10.3, but can I replace the parts that wear out faster? I'd love full auto, but can I keep ammo in it? For my use, patrolling a neighborhood in unrest, for instance, do I need bombproof, or is merely "durable" acceptable? I could NEVER subject a weapon to the sort of abuse the military does in my lifetime. It's an interesting thought exercise. "Best" is a slippery term for sure. Obviously merely wanting something because it's cool is totally reasonable. |

I know a lot of retired CAG/Delta guys seems to be big fans of the MCX, but then they're running those as personal semi-auto rifles.
I've heard though that the British SAS and SBS guys like the MCX as well. Sig has been having a lot of success lately. I wouldn't be surprised if it's their new rifle they're pushing to replace the M4. |

Quoted: Take a look at race cars. They're wicked fast and handle as if on rails. Tires only last 200 miles and engines only 500 miles. "The very best" is different if you're staging one-day assaults and have a large logistics train or if -- as the meme says -- "no one is coming to help you". View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: To be clear, what they need for assaulters probably isn’t the best example of what almost anyone else needs. So, a hard use carbine is not what people need? Take a look at race cars. They're wicked fast and handle as if on rails. Tires only last 200 miles and engines only 500 miles. "The very best" is different if you're staging one-day assaults and have a large logistics train or if -- as the meme says -- "no one is coming to help you". That’s a pretty shit analogy. Generally, what SOF wants in a general use weapon is going to heavily overlap with what the general gun owning public would want. At least in regards to reliability, durability, etc. There’s no guarantee that “one-day assault” is going to actually only be one day and dude’s putting large quantities of ammunition through their guns aren’t going to want to be replacing part after part on a constant basis. |
