This. It’s not like the Armalite tranny rifle ever actually won a war. It’s just been shilled by POG guardsmen that bought that have never actually been in a firefight and are scared of recoil breaking their fragile non milk drinking collar bones. They’re all a bunch of bitch boys if you ask me.

>grandpa GWOT era m4s
I had the displeasure of clicking on some genx retard's video where he's complaining that the US isn't doing enough incremental improvements past the outdated quadrail, nonfreefloated heavy barrel M4A1 and then in the same breath claimed the M4A1 was the exact same as the M4, ignoring the incremental improvements that were literally his whole argument. He started the video being mad about M16A2 in bosnian peacekeeping when canada had the C-whatever with optics and a toprail.
>>
>>65261577
Ah yes let me unbox my 5moa gun that was shit even when it was originally adopted to fight in a desert (exposed action btw)
>>
>>65261584
Well he’s right. All they ever really did was shorten the barrel to make it MORE anemic than it already was and slapped an ACOG on top.
>>
>>65261587
I’m not saying the M-14 wasn’t a piece of shit anon. I’m just saying it was INFINITELY BETTER than the M-4 because it doesn’t fire a woman’s round.
>>
>>65261558
You are fat, brown, and noguns.
>>
>>65261584
Well he’s right, it’s been decades since the M4A1 and it’s probably still the most commonly issued rifle today. Like for civilians, it’s not difficult to get a free floated, CHF non-govt profile barrel with a better gas length/system and some of them can probably withstand higher pressure ammo far longer. It’s stupid that they haven’t really updated it except for the URGI which is only going to select units

M855 to M855A1, they upped the pressure and added a steel penetrator. Also heavier barrel means longer sustained rapid fire.

Just like the M7 going to select units.

A slightly better carbine is already going to the units that are most likely to see combat and a slightly better carbine isn't going to be a significant factor in the way the US fights wars, which is all about using overwhelming supporting artillery, missiles and aircraft all guided by superior communication, intelligence and command, control, communications and computers (C4) all backed by a superior logistics with a superior budget that buys near infinite ammunition and supplies.
>>
>>65261686
17 pounds for the SAME amount of rounds?? What if they carry 17 MORE pounds of 5.56? You’re just fucked, it’s over in any scenario

(plus a whole bunch of older bigger-caliber rifles)
>>
>>65261686
how many rounds would 37 lbs of 5.56 be?
>>
>>65261688
Well the M7 in theory is going to all of the infantry units while the URGI is exclusive to army special forces pretty much, huge difference there in terms of availability. And you’re correct! They’re not the main killers of infantry, however, that doesn’t mean they won’t see extensive use in any conflict. Ukraine right now, while it has its own specific circumstances and conditions that aren’t always applicable, the vast majority of casualties are caused by artillery and shrapnel. That doesn’t mean dudes aren’t actively shooting each other on the daily with their rifles. I think a slight upgrade program instead of a terrible new rifle would be the more cost efficient and frankly superior option here

7.62mm DMR is just an inferior M240B which will have a better hit rate and effects. Hit rate is probability of at least one hit in an engagement, not hits per round fired. Setup the tripod and the 240B is a laser, mogged only by the M2A1 .50cal.

9mm strikerslop is unironically the best at everything a pistol needs to do, enough powah for niggerblastin while small and controllable enough to conceal for basically anyone. they're also incredibly durable and simple to operate/clean, which is always a helpful trait for a gun you keep next to your sweaty body all day. rifles are specialist tools, ARs are awesome but more often than not you need a different tool and/or caliber for the job, especially in places with grizzly/moose/bison to contend with.

M7 is dead, and all existing M7 rifles will be upgraded to the M8 configuration.

Theres effectively a single unit in Big Army that has done testing with both versions, and the reports still came back with that its heavy as shit, the optic sucks ass, adding a PEQ and flashlight to it makes it suck even harder, in order to get any use out of the more powerful round you need an LPVO which adds a ton of weight, and it basically doesn't work without the suppressor and even with the can, it feels like you're on the verge of sustaining TBI after an extended shoot.

If the M4 were to get an upgrade, an Mlok rail, a reprofile of the barrel, and an extension of the gas systemis basically all it needs. You could swap out the bolt for any of the enhanced reliability bolts I guess, but the M4 still works pretty fucking okay for most things.

6mm arc, case technology pushing higher pressures, and pxt barrels to extend life is the future of the AR platform.

It's gonna be 556 pushing 80k PSI.

>>65261398
And that is an outdated variant of the HK416, which itself is behind no less than three generations of piston ARs explicitly designed to surpass it.
People in glass houses shouldn't cast stones, and at least the M16/20" AR offers some things other rifles in the current meta don't.
Also that's an airsoft gun, a decent one, but airshit nonetheless. I know you're an underage noguns but at least bother to find a stock image of an actual 416 before posting bait threads.

This is ample proof that soldiers are just making up reasons why the rifle is bad because they want to carry a light rifle even if a heavier rifle were better in everyway. You can't feel a TBI. Soldiers saying this has as much credibility as "The vibes were off bro".

>>65265832
Suppressors especially on the M4 are nice. Being able to commubicate without earpro and comms, makes coordination far more facilitative than without. The thing is, the suppressor does fucking little to make the M7 feel less like you just got fucking kicked in the head, and I can only imagine how much worse the M8 is with even less barrel.

Shooting a MK18 with a 10.5 already sucks ass, we might see guys fight over who gets to carry the M250 because it weighs as much as a loaded down M8, with a sane fucking. barrel length. Plus, seeing as its inheriting M240 doctrine of use, you'll only ever be shooting it prone. Yeah maneuvering sucks ass, but I'll take it over the M8

High pressure 556 just mean pistol, magnum pistol and shotgun powders heavily compressed. Ergo much higher velocities at much lower uncorking pressures, you might have to enlarge the gas-port though.

What your room temp IQ doesn't allow is the understanding of objective improvement verses subjective lateral change. If you think that the crane-O-ring, m4 cuts, h2 buffer, and socom profile barrel coming from the standard m4 is equivalent to the faggot shit now, you are retarded. Mlok is a weaker and less durable attachment method than picatinny, made for consumers and pussies. This is non negotiable, that is why every top attachment method remains and WILL remain picatinny. LVPO's are inferior to ACOGs in every measure in the real world, not faggot planned competition or theory gaming. LVPOs are heavier, larger, weaker and must be raccoon hand fucked. I don't need or want shit moving on the thing I am dependent on saving my life and taking them. Lift and stop being a dumbfuck faggot consumer.
The market continues to make solutions for problems that don't exist to trick retards into giving them more money. Retards keep buying it, always, every fucking week. 'Buy this faggot angle grip for 40 dollars that give you zero leverage on your rifle'. Then you are constantly front tipping your rifle. Kill your self.
>>
>>65268065
And yet the entire tier1 military ar15 space is downstream of the civilian enthusiast market. And if you cant realize that MLOK is far more durable at a normalized weight against picrails than you are the most smoothbrained mongoloid on this board, and that is saying something.

Swing your mlok rail against a tree, post a video. I throw my shit around like it owes me money. I have a ras 4 that has survived 7 deployments by dumb fuck army infantry and I still throw it in the back of the truck to go hog hunting. Keeps zero and not a dent.
>normalized weight
There is the cope, constant unnecessary trade offs are not an objective improvement. Look, your ar and my ar are the same just with different crap put on them. There has been zero mechanical improvements for a solid 15 to 20 years on this platform. Your 'tier 1' guy gets flown in, does an op for 10 to 30 minutes and then flies out. They have an entire logistics and support system behind them. We don't. They can afford failure. We can't. Stop using zogbots burning our tax dollars as an excuse for your shitty spending habits.
My A4 hits 28" steel at 660 yards with pmc m855 just fine. 350 and in on 18" is a cake walk. Why do I need to spend another 2 to 4 grand for high-speed bullshit? Most you people have never shot past 200 but need a 1moa spr and lvpo. This industry is a fucking joke.

I want you to play insurgency or a similar game for exactly 5 hours
I want you to only use irons.
and then I want you to come back and tell me how often you even saw the person who dunked on you.
fuck irons.
I tried so hard to be stubborn and like them but they just are bullshit.
irons are for poor africans warlord underlings that would get btfo by drunk airshit players.

The M4A1 and it's direct derivatives have killed the XM8, G36, SCAR L, M416, and still counting. The only problem with the M16A4 was short women and browns, as well as the dependence on mechanical infantry tactics. The IAR was an interesting idea but again ruined by retarded bean counters and under the table money grubbing. Shit constantly falls off, constant heat issues and complete lack of support and logistics from any other AR platform. The SCAR H is finally dead, S to spit, which was just an over priced and over hyped tranny FAL. I would love a better and improved system but there just isn't one, and year after year that rings truer and truer. This platform peaked during gwot and the rest has been incompetent consumer garbage to maintain a dieing and uninspired industry. How fast did we forget bendy bill and actual technical findings over flashy youtubers and marketing. Same shit as getting into debt for a 80,000 truck that won't last 5 years to show off to the people at 'church'. We haven't fought a near peer in nearly 80 years and we continue to lose, it is time to start asking questions. What do we do instead? Print more money and throw more shit against systems that actually work and would have kept working. Oh, well.

I said weight normalized, you can buy the military grad mlok rails from hodge, dd and geissele or even the new hk rail if you are looking for ultimate durability.

>There has been zero mechanical improvements for a solid 15 to 20 years on this platform

I agree that there are a lot of aspects of the rifle that havent received sufficient attention, but:
- the drop-safe triggers(with the safety on "fire", the mil-spec fcg isnt drop safe there) with much faster lock-times(3-4 ms insted of 9+ms on mil-spec)
- the improved buffer systems like jp rifles but especially the ones from the ppc 9mm space are much better
- the kac-gas system and the new noveske with the straight gas tube(Introducing - Wide Feed Ramp System) are major upgrades

and m855 is just shit ammo, nas3 are changing the game, soon 11.5 inch barrels with be the new 20inchers.

Okay dude, keep huffing the copium. Not really my problem.
>straight gas tube
Yeah, because the standard gas tube in semi automatic systems blow left and right. You must have personally blown atleast 10 to warrant such a substantial deviation from the TDP.
>11.5" is the new 20"
NO. FREE. LUNCH. You MIGHT see a slight ballistic improvement but that also transfers to the 20" system. Also, good thing you got those straight tubes ready to make up for the bolt breakages due to pressure increases. I sure hope we don't have a global supply chain break down! Sure would be nice to have a low pressure 500 yard capable system that almost never experiences internal mechanical failure. You one of those that think chicken comes from the grocery store? Trade short term clout for long term stability. Niggas think that money and youtuber words is going to beat physics.

Compared to what at the same cost, availability and performance? I don't want to be shot by it and I assume you wouldn't either. I never said there wasn t better for more specific use cases, but again trade offs. Most of the world is using steel case put together by children or blind women in the desert. Don't bring up the skinnies either, investigation proved that was due to misses under severe stess. I hit you in the head with a rock you are going to have problems. A 62 grain object traveling at 3000 fps though? Just fine, right? You are a spoiled brat with severe marvel syndrome.

you said there were no improvements, i said the gas efficiency of gas tube and gas block can be improved
>NO. FREE. LUNCH. You MIGHT see a slight ballistic improvement but that also transfers to the 20" system
on a properly set up high pressure loading can drive any available bullet to its maximum velocity within 11.5 inches

>Compared to what at the same cost, availability and performance?
compared to any modern military, duty or hunting ammo in 556

>efficiency of gas tube and gas block can be improved
Once again, that is not an improvement. You have to damage the logistics of the system for ZERO gain. Higher pressures result in bolt failure, eroded gas ports and worn springs. Blown tubes are extremely rare unless ran like a LMG.
>on a properl.....
You have to invent problems to solve the problems you invented. We already had a properly gassed system, had one for 60 years. You want to ruin the systems design to run a short barrel which is shit other than saving space for a suppressor. IF you run a carbine gas with high pressure loads and a suppressor that is a very short lived and expensive commodity. You will not beat physics.
>compared to...
Not at the same costs, availability or performance. I use and stockpile 77gr SMK but that shit is almost always out of stock and over a dollar a round. I have 10x the amount of m855 stocked and I can buy it at any time for around .40 cents a round right now. For a do all general purpose round out to 300, maybe 500 yards, it can't be beat. It kills hogs and deer just fine in my experience, just know its limitations and work around that instead of throwing money at the wall and still sucking ass.

>>65268705
You are a braindead luddite, btw if you use high pressure cases with pistol powder you get max velocity and a gun that doesnt cycle because the gas port pressure is too low.

Lmfao 20" owners are such fucking brainlets. Random ass 55gr is better than m855 let along any JSP, BT, or OTM. It's the dane cook of 5.56 loads.

>loses the argument, pisses his pants
What is the expectation here? Using powder optimized to burn at 5" in a 11.5" sbr? You think a straight gas tube will fix operational function?
Niggas would rather use a 1500-3000 dollar D.I. bolt gun with lower velocities than a fucking 16" or 20". I hate shorty faggots so much.
>>
>>65268745
Retard, the high-pressure ultra short barrel velocites are more than a 1000fps faster than brass out of a 20 inch.

You can't read. I run SMK and M855 in my 14.5, 16 and 20". Unless I am trying to do unrealistic bullshit there is no tangible difference out to 300 yards, not in my experience. Do you not understand gives and takes? Do you not understand cost to performance ratios? Would you want to get shot by either?
Also, 55 grain performs worse in every gun I own except my Block II Colt. It is the pickiest rifle I own, it only shoots federal 55gr and Razorcore 77gr below 3" but those two loads are close to 1" in it. My Block I Navy (BCM) and M16A4 (Colt) are consistent 2" to 2.5" moa rilfes. PMC XTAC performing the best. Which is plenty for a man sized target out to 500 yards if the shooter is up for it. Under high stress that is pretty damn good out to 300 yards. I also have a 11.5" (BCM) and a 18" (FN) with mlok that sit in the closet.

You are claiming 4200 fps out of an 11.5"? Just so we are clear. You are also claiming that you couldn't increase the 20" in the same manner? You are also calling me a retard while ZERO governments, corporations or agencies are not immediately directing all funding and R&D into this? I mean this is Earth shattering stuff here and all you had to do was swap a lower performing faster burning powder? Wow.

Yes, Hodgdon universal as a powder for example, gets 108 grain 6arc to 4700fps.(What is the LIMIT for 6mm ARC? (DON'T TRY THIS)

>You are also claiming that you couldn't increase the 20" in the same manner?
Having full powder burn before the bullet even starts to move massively increases the thermal efficiency of the heat reaction propelling the bullet. The energy contained in the gas is "spent" well before 11.5 inches of barrel.
>You are also calling me a retard while ZERO governments, corporations or agencies are not immediately directing all funding and R&D into this?
NGSW is eight(!) years old at this point and HICAR was announced last month, also you dont know whats happening behind the scenes.

Great, another overpriced low availability meme cartridge that will die after it has been pumped and dumped after draining consumerists retards of every penny. How many of those are we up to now? How many rifles will you have to build before the hole is filled? In other news, .308 and 5.56 still march on globally.

>>65268853
Are you trolling? I cited that 6arc loading to demonstrate the performance you can do the same thing in 556 and 308.

Never Going to See Warfare is dead, every branch other than the army rejected it (150 Million flushed) which led to HICAR. HICAR is the indian call center of firearm programs. I will believe it when I see it, right now it is all talk and tax theft.
>>65268862
Said the same shit for the last 10+ failed M4 replacements or 'improvements'. Give me the meat, where is it? Meanwhile every other Military in the world continues to use what has worked for the last 60+ years. Nothing in combat, other than drones, warrant such a change. It is to the point that a single infantry man could run around with a handgun and it wouldn't effect the over all outcome. Modern govt. small arm weapon programs are scams, simple as.
We are in the the fall of Rome, an age of complete greed and incompetence. We have removed all the spirits that laid the foundation of today and replaced them with mouth breathing consumer retards. Keep praying to daddy govt. for your next fix, I will continue to train with my M16.

Agreed on NGSW but HICAR is fantastic massive improvement to the m4. Also agreed on the failed m4 replacements.

So ah why didnt the US Army adopt the AR-10?
