17 people, and not one death.
Crazy former marine in a clock tower = 16
French paratrooper = 0
And one of them was a 3 year old boy shot once through the heart and again in the arm. Seriously, what sort of assault rifle can't kill a toddler with multiple hits, one of them being through the heart? That aside, thank goodness no one was killed. And it shouldn't matter how often you participate in something like this. You should be triple checking every bullet in every clip out of paranoia of Murphy's Law if nothing else. |

FAMAS G2 actually looks like a pretty nice gun. Is there anyone in NATO besides us still not using a bullpup design?
The German H&K assault rifles are of the more traditional design and are widely used in various armies. E.g. Norway just selected the HK416 (essentially an improved version of the US M4) as their standard assault rifle. |

Canada still uses some sort of rifle that very much resembles the M16 visual style of rifle.

That HK416 is supposed to be a great improvement over the M4. I think the one biggest improvement that could be made is that we switch from direct gas to a pistol driven design for our service rifle.
Also, I was in Djibouti training with the Foreign Legion and I can vouch for the FAMAS being crap. And their boots. Actually, all their kit was garbage.

When she crossed over, she was just a ship. But when she came back... she was bullshit!

I guess it's just me liking bullpups, then. Got to fire a Steyr AUG once and fell in love, the handling of a carbine without giving up the muzzle velocity.

I have never fired a bullpup, but I have always hated the look of them. FUGLY.

We use the C8 Assault Rifle. Couldn't tell you what the difference is, but apparently it works well for us. Y'know, when we use it.  |

I expect any differences are trivial. The one you picture there has an M203 grenade launcher mounted (or some extremely close equivalent).  --Dave |
