Top 5 Rifles Ever Made

[slopeslider]

And "reliable" is nothing to what a Ak47 can take. I've seen them dunked in water, sand, mud, beat with a hammer, then still fire off a clip.

I saw one that was filled with sand.Then thrown in water.Then driven over.And it still fired off a clipMAG.

CLIPS are what the m1 garand `and Lee Enfield use. (They actually CLIP them together)
M`AGS are box-type things that hold bullets over a spring that pushes them up thru the top.
Never again.

Sorry about that.How did i not know that?.Because i´m not a gun nut.

My little sister doesn't know much about aviation. If she called a helicopter an airplane I'd correct her too. "But they both fly and they both go fast and they both have propellers and I don't know the difference!" Doesn't matter. Im sure you'd correct me If I said Cliffs Of Dover has the best Bass guitar solo's ever. Only I would accept the correction and not be all 'oh well Im not a instrument nerd'.

Right on, eh? That's the thing - no one appreciates the massive difference in engineering between the two. My Mosin-Nagant takes a clip, while my 1911 Mark IV takes a magazine (obviously). S'not right fuckin' that up.

[Shadowed Intent]

1.) Mosin-Nagant
Cheap, made in the Soviet Union (mostly Georgia), wide variety of models, M44 had built-in bayonet.

2.) AK-47
Once more, cheap, excellent design philosophy, amazing ability to not jam under stress, fires accurately for what it is, and is amazingly cool looking to boot.

3.) Colt 1911A1 (Not a rifle, but it gets a special mention)
Let's face it - this is the classic .45 and will remain so well after I die. It's just too kickass, too simplistic, and too dependable to die within the next 50 years.

4.) Saiga-12
Ridiculously cooler than the USAS-12, this AK-based 12-gauge is the ultimate in firepower and delivery. Especially for the price (once again, cheap). The Saiga 12 also has a wide variety of synthetic bodies you can switch out for, making it totally awesome.

5.) Remington M870
After taking this beauty to the trap range one too many times, I fell in love with it. It's just too damn accurate on its full-choke, wooden stock/foregrip sexiness. 25/25 targets. No other shotgun has pulled this off, even the Berettta semi-automatic I was using last month in skeet.

You wouldn't happen to be from /k/ would you?

You wouldn't happen to be from /k/ would you?

Not quite sure what you mean by that. Care to clarify?

Oh, I guess not then, I just meant that I would expect very similar choices from people who visit /k/.

 

[Skeleon]

In no particular order:

Gravity Gun (Half-Life 2)
Painkiller (Painkiller)
Portal Gun (Portal)
FAMAS (in any game, really)
Rod (sniper-subroutine, Tron 2.0)

As for real weapons, besides the FAMAS? No clue.

Nope - not familiar with what you're referring to, but I'd be very appreciative if you could grace me with a link (either here or via PM), out of curiosity.

 

[WickedSkin]

AWM (or AWSM, ENG, Is THE best sniper rifle as of now)
HK G3 (GER, when you make a list like this, the G3 must be mentioned)
M-14 (USA, It's still used today, that's your why)
IMI Galil (Israel, reliable)
FN FAL (Belgium, It has proved it self time and time again)

Honerable mentions goes to:
MP44 (GER, first assaultrifle)
M1 Garand (USA, It's a very sexy rifle)
Steyr AUG (Austria, fist bullpup rifle)
FN SCAR (Belg, Because it's awesome)
XM8 (M8) and XM29-OICW (M29) (USA/GER because whenever HK is in the picture, you know it's going to be great)
FN F2000 (Belgium, Just look at it!)
FAMAS (France, the frogs made a great rifle... really)
AK47 (RU, It's popular for a few reasons)
Enfield SA80 (ENG, Brilliant rifle)
Mosin Nagat (RU)
Mauser 98 (GER)
HK G36 (GER)

Oh there are so many.

 

[JohanGasMask]

Im a big fan of Russian And German weapons, so if id make a list i wood get alot of messages saying that the M1 grand was better the the Gewehr 43 or the Springfield wood destroy the Mosin Nagant.

Thats not a rifle

winchester 1887 because it is fucking sexy

if you saw zombieland then you have to agree

The Winchester 1887 is a shotgun. You might be thinking of the other Winchester lever actions, like the '94

oh sorry i some how missed the rifle part but the lever action guns are cool all around

The L85 is a piece of shit whose engineers hired H&K to fix their shitty design to make it mediocre at best. I've fired it and it is a piece of crap.

The Valmet is just an accurized AK. It is nothing new. Galil will do the same shit for alot cheaper.

Yes please explain about the FAL. It is obviously a capable rifle which has the 3rd highest production after the AK and M-16. It has been dubbed the Right Arm of The Free World and is used by real men, not armchair commandos.

Haha! The FNC, the one that failed to sell and was cancelled in favor of a better design? I would have respected you a little more had you said the SIG 550 or the StG90.

You are pretty much dead on with the M-16 and any models A2 and above.

You can hit the side of a barn with an AK if you put it on SEMI and not AUTO. AUTO is a waste of ammo. Real men use SEMI in combat. Gamers and illiterate conscripts use AUTO in combat and end up dead from those who fired back in SEMI.

The L85A1 was a piece of shit, yes, but the A2 is a great gun. At least from some UK Army boys I've spoken to. The A1 jams a lot due to the design of it's charging handle, it can easily deflect cases back into the chamber as the bolt carrier heads back forwards. The A2 fixed this by designing the charging handle so that it would deflect spent cases if they were hit by the charging handle. That's one of many fixes to the design, it wasn't the design of the gun that was wrong, it was the manufacturing itself.

I haven't handled a Gali, only a Valmet.

The FN FAL is a real man's rifle, you hit that spot on at least.

I named the FNC because I like the gun, especially the AK5 variant that the Swedish Army uses, haven't handled or fired a SIG 550.

Auto? What's that? Oh yeah, it's a setting nobody ever uses. I know that you don't fire an assault rifle on full auto normally, semi is used 99% of the time anyway. Oh, and it's a figure of speech, meaning that the AK47 has shit accuracy, at least past 100-200 meters.

 

[Sgt Doom]

1: The L85A2, the best NATO rifle around, and the best assault rifle today. Extremely accurate, compact without sacrificing barrel length, extremely reliable. And gotta love the SUSAT sight too.

2: The Velmet RK95, fuck your shitty Ak47. This is where it's at, the same durability, reliability of an AK with the accuracy and precision of a NATO rifle.

3: The FN FAL. Really? Need I explain?

4: Automat Karbin 5, the AK5. An FN FNC variant made for the Swedish Army. Basically an FN FNC made even more reliable and durable, and fixed it up ergonomically so you can comfortably use it with winter gloves. It's accurate and reliable, although it's a little heavy.

5: The M16A4, I don't like it much, but still, it's a pretty damn good rifle. Accurate, reliable (keep it clean, people who don't clean their rifles = morons) and light weight.

Why isn't the AK47 here? Because it's a piece of shit. Sure, it's a piece of shit that works no matter what you do to it, but you can't hit the side of a barn with that thing. Sure it's very symbolic and it's used in all resistance movements/guerrilla fighters, but you know why? Because the gun is so simple a child can figure out how it works.

Valmet's AK variants might be nothing new, but they're damn good quality AK variants, though i'd say Galil wins over simply because it's not using 7.62x39. (I admit defeat on the cost part) Makes me wonder, the reason Finland used an AK variant in the first place is because Russia is pretty much the greatest threat to our national security, so in any war with them, (assuming they don't just bomb us) being able to scavenge ammunition off them would be very useful. Wondering if they're considering a 5.45x39 variant, since they halted production of the RK-95s. I'd rather have 5.56, but an improvement it would be nonetheless.

[backinthepresentfuture]

i would have to say the H&K g3, mainly because i find it sexy and also becuase it's everything a combat rifle should be: sturdy, reliable , easy to clean, easy to operate, accurate, powerful, and somewhat customizable.
and anything that can't work effectively and reliably in combat conditions can piss off. (i'm looking at you m16a2 and FN FAL)
