[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Top Ten Combat Rifles

Posted: 3/3/2007 12:36:20 PM EDT

I just finished watching this program on the Military Channel for the second time to get the order straight. Here it is.

1. AK-47*
2. M16**
3. Lee Enfield SMLE
4. M1 Garand*
5. FN FAL**
6. Mauser 98K
7. Steyr AUG
8. 1903 Springfield
9. Sturmgewehr 44
10. M14

* own one
** own a representative

These were based on the following:

Innovation
Combat Effectiveness
Handling
Accuracy
Service Life

I guess the Steyr Aug got in there on "innovation"?

It has seen combat with the Aussies and in U.N. ops, personally I think the HK-91/G3 probably better deserved that spot.

I agree.

As above the m-14 deserves that spot the AUG hasn't earned the right to be on that list patroling in little police actions for the UN doesn't make the cut.....seeing action is more than sitting at a road block hoping you can lock a mag in place without violating ROE.
