Pablo Posted July 4, 2005 Report Share Posted July 4, 2005 HK53 Malaysia, Chile and Thailand armed forces. West German police and security forces. Link to post Share on other sites
DarkLite Posted July 5, 2005 Report Share Posted July 5, 2005 Steyr AUG - Irish Army. G36 - Spanish Army. Thompson SMG - British Army Link to post Share on other sites
Cinder Posted July 5, 2005 Report Share Posted July 5, 2005 Lots of US units still use the M14. Now all you have to do is make a list for subguns and handguns. Link to post Share on other sites
sillyrabbit Posted July 5, 2005 Report Share Posted July 5, 2005 since when did the sas use the G36c??? need to know... thanks Link to post Share on other sites
Jules Posted July 5, 2005 Report Share Posted July 5, 2005 The M1A1 was also used quite a bit in Vietnam, as well. Link to post Share on other sites
Thomme Posted July 5, 2005 Report Share Posted July 5, 2005 I thought the Beta Spetnaz was made up for MGS... and the Sig 552 SEALs is just called, "seals," its not actually an official weapon of the seals or anything. just what I thought, could be wrong. Link to post Share on other sites
Pyro Posted July 5, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2005 since when did the sas use the G36c??? need to know... thanks <{POST_SNAPBACK}> They aren't just an Anti-Terrorist squad yaknow, they operate mostly in the jungle and when they do, they take along any AR that uses a NATO round, usually 5.56mm Link to post Share on other sites
sillyrabbit Posted July 5, 2005 Report Share Posted July 5, 2005 fair enough, just curious if they used them in cqb situations, I know mosty Mp5 variations,but wondering if they use G36c's as well add this to the gun list... (P90 is used by the GIGN) Link to post Share on other sites
M1911A2 guy Posted July 5, 2005 Report Share Posted July 5, 2005 I thought the Beta Spetnaz was made up for MGS... and the Sig 552 SEALs is just called, "seals," its not actually an official weapon of the seals or anything. just what I thought, could be wrong. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The tokyo Marui was based off of the AK74-Su, which was featured in MGS2:SOL. Basically, the AKB doesn't exist and was only created by TM as a CQC/CQB weapon for the Ak enthusiast. I'm sure there is some modified Ak of some sort that is short as hell and has the full stock, but it would be custom. PS; Altho the list is , it needs some rehashing. Lots of militaries and organizations left out, the M14 is being used in Iraq right now under the designation M21, and a LOT more miltaries and SF/SOC units use the M16A2/A3/A4. Not just the US Army. You forgot the Marines man! Thats just cruel. Link to post Share on other sites
screamin_weasel Posted July 5, 2005 Report Share Posted July 5, 2005 sillyrabbit can you PLEASE make your silly sig a lot smaller. its doing my head in. its too big, theres too much going on, and it ALWAYS takes up more room than your post does. Link to post Share on other sites
JCYC5 Posted July 5, 2005 Report Share Posted July 5, 2005 Armalite could also go for Canada. Yes, it's not made BY Armalite, but it looks similar enough... Link to post Share on other sites
The Quarter-master Posted July 5, 2005 Report Share Posted July 5, 2005 fair enough, just curious if they used them in cqb situations, I know mosty Mp5 variations,but wondering if they use G36c's as well <{POST_SNAPBACK}> they are starting to experiment with them not sure whether they have actually been adopted yet. as body armour is becoming very easy to get hold of they are experimenting with a 5.56 weapon. the G36c fits that role. so yes they could be used in CQB. just a note the G36 is also used by british police aswell as the US. the M4 or variants are used by greek special forces as is the P90 the SAS, SBS use the C8 basically the M4 Indonsian special forces use the AK or variants not sure about their regulars army though India MARCOS use AKs too Link to post Share on other sites
Pyro Posted July 5, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2005 British Police ain't armed Link to post Share on other sites
ED-SKaR Posted July 6, 2005 Report Share Posted July 6, 2005 British Police ain't armed <{POST_SNAPBACK}> actually not entirely true, scince the handgun ban, regular POs dont need guns so they dont have them but the ARUs(armed responce units) are armed all ARUs - glock 17 most ARUs - MP5 (various configurations) rarely - various assault rifles, including ster AUGs, G36 (unknown varient), and 100 L85A1s that the MOD couldent be bothered to upgrade to the A2 my local ARU (milton keynes) has 8 officers, all with Glock 17s, 4 with MP5seA5(with RDS, 10 round mag, and the 'se' means safe and singleshot, no full auto or burst) rumors are that they are getting 2 of the SA80s soon Link to post Share on other sites
M1911A2 guy Posted July 6, 2005 Report Share Posted July 6, 2005 Armalite could also go for Canada. Yes, it's not made BY Armalite, but it looks similar enough... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Diemaco make the Canadian C8s, which are carbon copies of the Colt/FN M16A2/A4. Also, I think we need to stop calling all M16/M4 variants Armalites. Its just not right. Link to post Share on other sites
Spedz Posted July 6, 2005 Report Share Posted July 6, 2005 what about the endless supplie of 1911 what forces use those? Link to post Share on other sites
M1911A2 guy Posted July 6, 2005 Report Share Posted July 6, 2005 what about the endless supplie of 1911 what forces use those? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> probably more than people know about. I mean, the gun has been around since 1909, who knows how many guerillas and insurgents are running around with them. Not counting the endless supply of SF/SOC groups and agencies(like DEa, FBi, etc) that use a 1911 of some sort. And the funny thing is, the 1911 will be around as long as there are projectile weapons. Gotta love it. Link to post Share on other sites
commandercolt Posted July 6, 2005 Report Share Posted July 6, 2005 Great thread idea. However, to keep this from being a completely pointless post, a few middle eastern govts have accuired uzis on the black market, mainly saudi arabia for special forces etc b/c they were so impressed. Also, i've seen pictures of many french special forces using m4's in africa, and even a sig 550. Link to post Share on other sites
DarkLite Posted July 6, 2005 Report Share Posted July 6, 2005 ARUs use the G36SF (G36 in semi only with 15 round magazine, G36C grips, stock and barrel but normal G36E handle and rail). Oh, and I've seen a few SMLE Mk3s being used by Iraqi insurgents. Link to post Share on other sites

Oh, and I've seen a few SMLE Mk3s being used by Iraqi insurgents. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> ARUs got a load of 5.56mm guns to se witch is the best including (as you say) the G36, also Ster AUG, M4(from the USarmy backup supplys) and 100 L85A1s (the ones the MOD couldnt be bothered to upgrade) probably all of them will be single shot only and 15 round mags on the news right after the two towers fell in new york *respect given* when in the middle east they where celebrating *no coment* there was an afganistan man shooting a PDW2000 (now renamed MP7) in the air the iraqui army(now disbanded), and the free iraqui army use manly AK47s, but also K98s and lee enfields as snipers,AK47(MG varient) RPK and RPDs, RPG7s, also (surprisingly) MAC 11s (though my sorces may be mistaken) Link to post Share on other sites
Pyro Posted July 6, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2005 Mac Series -Greece -Israeli Secret Police for sweeping buildings -Portugal -MANY S.American countries -US Navy has a few. And what so surprising, MACs are used all over the place. Link to post Share on other sites
Prometheus Posted July 6, 2005 Report Share Posted July 6, 2005 AK-BS (Beita Spetsnaz) I heard from Futbolpunk along time ago that the word "Spetsnaz" is some word in Russian. It is the name of their special forces over there in Russia. Hold on a minute and let me check on google.... ~P Link to post Share on other sites
