what is the best assault rifle?

[Jedoro]

H&K 417

It's an M4, but made by zee Germans and chambered for a 7.62x51mm round.

 

[Tangouser]

I would like to nominate the HK416. It's very accurate and it's reliability is unmatched.

The M4 due to its versatility, StG44 for being the first, or the G3 just beacuse I really like that gun and it German

Spoiler: M4

Spoiler: StG44

Spoiler: G3

i have qualified expert on the M-16A2. it was difficult. in the 50 rounds i put down range it jammed twice.
so while i know it inside and out, i still cant say i like it or that i feel comfortable having to rely on it. S.P.O.R.T.S. is not a solution to the jamming problem!

The M16 and the AK 47 are my picks.

 

[Davey Woo]

I like the L85A2. But most games either don't have it refuse to give it it's proper scope and accuracy. If we're not talking about games, definitely L85A2, in games I like guns of the M variety (M16, M4 M249 etc)

I really doubt the AK-47 is the best. Im no gun expert, but I do know the AK47 is a relic and is like comparing NES to a current system. Sure its more loved maybe, but better? Gamers just have a massive hard-on for it I think.

thats actually a good comparison. chances are your NES still works after all these years and while your xbox360 can do a hell of a lot more, it has to be cared for like a baby or else it shits out on you after a few days.

That makes it popular in real use make more sense, but people love using it in games too, which that is not a factor in.

G3, FNC or M4 at a push really.
i don't like the Ak 47 because its in accurate, but the cal. is insane and the reliablity is amazing

You may find it a bit interesting (well ok, maybe not) to know that this thread was completely lost on me. I presume it's because I'm not American. I don't even know if you're talking about real rifles. Are any other British/Irish/non-Americans completely lost?

 

[Mr Mc Twiggy]

Personally i like the Hk53A3 or the L85A2, but i'd take an AK47 if i had nothing else at hand.

 

[cthulhu257]

The G36k is good, as well as the Famas, but I really like the AK-74. I dunno why, I just like the orange clips.

 

[AmrasCalmacil]

I'm jumping on the AK47 bandwagon, the sights are too far forward, but it looks good, it's reliable, cheap, and as a patent was never taken out, can be produced anywhere.

Thanks, Mikhail (sp?).

In terms of what my friend? What are the parameters for best, accuracy, reliability, cost, ease of use...etc? Cos there is possibly a different best for all that criteria.

well in terms of best i think you could leave cost out. i am asking for the best all around. the one YOU would want. so whatever makes it the best in your perspective. if you prefer ease of use over stopping power thats your choice. if you prefer accuracy over reliability thats your choice too. so i guess whatever is best for you.

Did Lincoln pull an M-16A2 out of his hat and blow Batman away with a ratatat-tat?

I rest my case.

But being honest, charismatic and good-willed tdoesn't really qualify as an assault rifle.

My personal choice is the new Israeli Tavor Assault Rifle: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vj5Z5e8CUUM. It is just AWESOME.
