Diemaco Posted July 10, 2005 Report Share Posted July 10, 2005 Different indentation above the mag, different pistol grips, the pistol grip on the TM is actually the ones off a 56 Link to post Share on other sites
Surreel Big Fish Posted July 10, 2005 Report Share Posted July 10, 2005 Who cares whether there's extra rivets or not - are you going to stop a fire fight to say "erm Mr. Bad guy - how many rivets are in your reciever??" No an AK is an AK by design no matter where it is made or how many rivets there are <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It was a film quote. Maybe if you had of read it correctly, you would of noticed 'he' was making a statement whilst looking at something. And i'll give someone a rep point when i can if they can tell me the film.

Hood Posted July 11, 2005 Report Share Posted July 11, 2005 G3 variants also used by german KSK. They use the P8 as sidearm, right? Oh, and they have the MP7. Spanish GEO: -MP5, -SIG 552 / 551 -P90 -HK 33E -Franchi SPS350 -PSG1 -SSG2000 -Sako TRG-21 / SSR Mk2, -Sig Sauer P226 I beleive that SEALs sometimes carry a few Type 56...

M1911A2 guy Posted July 11, 2005 Report Share Posted July 11, 2005 depending on teh mission, USSF/SOC groups wil carry Ak47s, Ak74s, An94, whatever the mission calls for. But when they do carry weapons like the AK, they carry the real thing, the Russian AK variant that was copied in the first place. Link to post Share on other sites
The Quarter-master Posted July 11, 2005 Report Share Posted July 11, 2005 There is more than one way to distinguish the 56 over an AK47 <{POST_SNAPBACK}> yes things like the inscription on the reciever in chinese do tend to give it away Link to post Share on other sites

Tirpitz10 Posted July 11, 2005 Report Share Posted July 11, 2005 From what I can remember, the AN-94 is not very widespread within the Russian military; only a few special forces units have access to it as it apparently is more complicated then the kalashnikov and is harder to maintain and is more expensive and difficult to make. The majority of the Russian army uses an AK-74 variant of some description though certain parts of the army may still be found using the older AKMs. As such, I don't think any American unit will ever be trained to use or will end up using an AN-94 because it is very unlikely for that weapon to see widespread use anywhere outside a few select Russian units.

HEaT Posted July 11, 2005 Report Share Posted July 11, 2005 Just noticed tonight whilst watching 'Escape to the Legion' on C4 (very good actually) that the modern day French Foreign Legion were using Famas rifles. Link to post Share on other sites
Hood Posted July 11, 2005 Report Share Posted July 11, 2005 Just noticed tonight whilst watching 'Escape to the Legion' on C4 (very good actually) that the modern day French Foreign Legion were using Famas rifles. What did you think they would use? They only have the FA MAS as service rifle (although they have some MP5s, but those are SMGs), and I´ve seen prototypes of new designs, so I guess they´ll be using the FA MAS forever.

The Quarter-master Posted July 11, 2005 Report Share Posted July 11, 2005 the FAMAS IS the french service rifle. what else would they be using? no offence meant Link to post Share on other sites

Skarclaw Posted July 14, 2005 Report Share Posted July 14, 2005 The Commandos used the tompson. My Grandad got hold of a tompson in the home front, but only fired it, didn't accually use it as he used an SMLE. So someone in the British army had a tompson in service. Anyway, I'm pretty sure the commandoes used the tompson, but switched to the sten due to reliability issues. Link to post Share on other sites
