Re: PPsh 41 WTF ? N00b Americanz
 

um, comrade, you are missing my point. It is that our soldier find Russian weapons to be better, so, along with thier weapons, they rbing along russkies weapons whenever they can. We don't need to supply ammo for it, the pick it up off the dead after a battle. I have seen numerous pics and vids on Fox and CNN where half the soldiers are using AKs and only AKs! Personally, to help out Russian industry, Russian national pride, and to help out our soldiers, we should look to the new generation weapons, like the AN90, AK100, PKM, and Brizon.

Comrade,no you do not run and gun at the same time.

Half the group,platoon,squad,or whatever do the gunning and the rest do the running.
Then it`s the other way around.
Then it helps to have guns that:A goes boom when the trigger is pulled,even if you happened to get it a little dirty while running. B has a round that can go through lighter obstacles and still have enough velocity to kill or hurt anyone behind it.
You can ,however ,WALK and gun at the same time .

Niu, you have somehow managed to start with no, then agree with me. And Von Mudra. IN THE ARMY YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO TOUCH ENEMY CORSPES! THEY ARE OFTEN BOOBY TRAPPED, WEAPONS AND ALL! STOP PLAYING COUNTER STRIKE TO LEARN HOW DANGEROUS THIS IS.

Re: PPsh 41 WTF ? N00b Americanz
 

ONe, I don't play CS, two, the guns are probably taken off of stokpiles, not dead bodies. And, you once again miss my point. RUSSKIE WEAPONS ARE BETTER THEN USA WEAPONS, THAT IS WHY OUR TROOPS WANT THEM!! God, you think it would be easy to understnad, but no....

Re: PPsh 41 WTF ? N00b Americanz
 

Agree? Shit no.all i know is that i myself should get me an AK,or PPsH,asap to have a gun that goes boom when needed and fires a useful round,not that 5.56 pos.

Re: PPsh 41 WTF ? N00b Americanz
 

It doesn't matter what's better, you are NOT allowed to take enemey weapons. You would end up with a logistics nightmare. Don't be so foolish, you're not allowed to just go "I think I'll sample one of those guns, that I have zero training and proficiency in, might jam, I don't know the condition of, and very well may be boobie trapped." Most those AKs over there are knock offs, not even real aks, and therefore not up to Russian quality. I know Russians have better small arms, but most of Iraq doesn't. And remember today Russia uses anything from an AK-74 family, to the AK-100 family, all the way to the AN-94 Abakan. So stop, stop being so foolish. You can't take enemy weapons because you don't know what they are. If a Marine is issued an enemy weapon he has a purpouse, in this case it was confusing the enemy forces.

Re: PPsh 41 WTF ? N00b Americanz
 

Oh and by the way, most the AKs that are not ancient (47 or 47M type) fire the 5.54 anyway, (74 family.) therefore you're little bullet rave has gone right by. Besides, 5mm rounds are better against armoured targets, 7.62 is better against softer targets, without kevlar.

Re: PPsh 41 WTF ? N00b Americanz
 

Not allowed to pick up enemy weapons?
Must be the most fubared army around then,if it tells it`s soldiers to die instead of using perfectly usable equipment.
And btw,how bloody hard do you think it is to understand how an AK47 works?
Personally I`ve just recieved a briefing about the AK,never fired one,but was told that it would take me less than a minute to understand it.
But that was 18 years ago so let`s say 5 minutes.

Re: PPsh 41 WTF ? N00b Americanz
 

MG42 is old as well but still in use, just under another name and with minor changes.

Re: PPsh 41 WTF ? N00b Americanz
 

I never said the AK-74 is old did I? MG3 isn't old, but 42 is. Ak-47 is old, but 74 isn't. M-16A1 is old, but A3 and 4 aren't. So what is your point? You're just twisting weapon names to your advantage.
