Yo Kevin you should stop fanboying HK bro I mean they make functional weapons but holy shit you pay such a ridiculous premium for the name that it's just not worth it. Also fuck roller-delayed blowback in anything except machine guns, and the G3 people blow loads over is just a clone of the CETME except with HK's price premium. Fuck that for a joke.
If I ever move to the US and need a carry piece? BHP, 1911 or CZ-75. Non-negotiable. As far as their rifles go, I will probably never own one and nor do I want to. There are many, many far better things on the market for far less cost.
I mean HK rifles.
Seriously dude, I own a No.4 and am in the infantry. I'm all about rifles, just ones that are worth the time of day (not HK ones). When HK makes a rifle that is both sensible (not roller-locked), practical (not retarded like the XM-8), and affordable (lol good joke ross), I might change my mind.
honestly I love the G3 body style, but I would totally get a CETME or a PTR-91. Preferably the PTR-91 since it's generally better quality. I would NEVER waste the money on a civilian HK G3. So over priced. In terms of rifles, I definitely love the design of AR-15's I don't know why, especially with the A4 upper receiver. And like warsaw said, they are so god damn accurate, only problem is they malfunction like a champ. If you have the money, SCAR's and ACR's are no doubt worth every penny. I've handled both (never fired mind you) they both feel very comfortable, light (especially the ACR), they're durable, very accurate, disassemble very easily, and just look awesome. Again, that's if you have the $2300 to drop on them :/ Also FAL's are baller as fuck
Just gonna drop this:
The FAL and derivatives are the only full-size battle rifles worth a damn. I mean look at this shit
The M14 is a glorified target rifle which shouldn't even exist (you Yanks have the dumbest protectionist attitude towards military weapons, you go out of your way to avoid adopting foreign weapons even if the ones you end up using are shit), the G3 is an overpriced knockoff of the CETME and is roller-locked and therefore fucking retarded, and the modern options are all overpriced beauty queens which bring very little in the way of actual practical features to the battlefield. That and you guys have a really fucking unhealthy obsession of trying to make any new rifle as much like the AR as possible.
