im not a big scoped sniper fan....id rather just charge in with a thompson or a MP-40......But for my use id take a m-15 carbine....no scope but a semi-auto rifle wit 15 shoots beats out a scoped bolt action rifle any time
I think i might like the Mosin Nagant a bit more than the Springfield... Icarus405
HK MSG 90 from Soldier of Fortune 2! I like sniper rifles were you don't have to empty the chamber or load the second bullet. They need to have clips in my opnion.
M1 Garand was never scoped. By the Vietnam War, the M1 had been replaced with the infamous M16, much to the disgust of the elite riflemen who had been given the gun to test in the marshes of Florida. They found it constantly jammed, could not take humidity, was overly difficult to strip-down in the field, and seized up in rainfall. Their recommendation was to ditch the M16, but too much money was invested in it.
My choice for WWII would have to be the Russian Tokarev SVT-40 (scoped).It was a gas-powered self loading rifle, and was a major upgrade of the standard issue Mosin-Nagant. Major Konings (you might remember from "Enemy At The Gates") considered it to be superior to the standard German bolt-action Kar. The Germans in fact tried to copy it, which produced the Gewehr 43.
I hate the M-16.Can't they design a better gun.I rather lose my life to find an Ak-47 on a battlefield instead of wondering in the battlefield with a M-16.The m-4 is pretty good. Â
Yes they did design a gun program that was set to replace the M-16 family of rifles, it was a program known as OICW, or objective individual combat system. Unfortunately, these guns were failures because they had weight problems and cost too much.
