What do you think the next US Army battle rifle should be and why?

 

[BrunoNorway]

FN SCAR-L 5.56x45mm

and

FN SCAR-H 7.62x51mm​

 

[BrunoNorway]

By the way, why isnt HK 416/417 represented in this poll...?
Wouldnt it be a fine candidate for the new battle rifle...?

[Firepower!]

other

I think Hk G36 is far superior services rifle than ones listed.

My second choice would be G3 for it hard hitting.

Third choice Ak 47 for its ultimate reliability.

Last but not least AKSU 74 for its compact yet awesome FIREPOWER!

 

[AutoPistola]

something bigger than .223!

 

[J.Smith]

G36 all the way. Also I've seen some pretty interesting weapons on future weapons that I cannot remember the names of, but they made my jaw drop.

 

[smenkhare]

Steyr AUG.

works great for us.

How are they working over there? LEO end users here are reporting quite a few problems, and little support from HK.

 

[Firepower!]

I am surprised that there are no votes for AK, even though there is a big AK following no matter where you go in the world.

 

[gyp_c2]

hmmm...

...new Magpul/ACR hybrid...

have heard nothing but good things about it here... tha Norwegian armed forces uses them both...

in a competition over the contract, the hk416 won over:
Colt-C8 IUR
Colt-C8 R 1077
H&K-G36
Swiss Arms-SG 551

hope they perfomes good...
and by the way we have chosen the H&K-mp7 as the new CQ/SD wepon...​

 

[Firepower!]

Very low polling out here....


Well if George said it, it's a word now- just like quizabug!

 

[UniversalFrost]

my vote is for the garand

actually I would have voted for a 98k or an 03A3 but that's just me

Exactly my thoughts...

[Teppo Sensei]

Magpul Masada (Bushmaster ACR) US made is a plus
barrels changes are easy and ambi controls

TAVOR if bullpup is desired

a better 5.56 round would help
maybe a 7mm round that is frangiable

 

[hknut]

I say M14 or HK 91!
