Woggy's Zeonic Frolicks
Sometimes I see pictures of these Oooooooperators with their block IIs and I swear I can hear the family snickering on the other side
"look at his little gun, they call that a rifle?"
"awww I know it works and all but come on, it's so dainty and small, tiny little bullets and everything"
They got to slog a real rifle, I guess

@LordMordred Yeah it's from sicario. Guy posted it thinking it was cool and it stood out how weirdly sized that perspective is.
not so badass when you see how tiny it is

what's up with all the runts back then? Did the depression just crater our height standards that badly? The more I notice the size.....it's always the big nosed goblin gi's too

@LordMordred Yeah no duh but grandpa said they felt like carbines were gay back then, too. (until they had to start hiking)

@professionalbigot69 @LordMordred But you don't get a lighter rifle, even the URGIs I see are like eleven pounds.
They always act like they're glad not to have that extra 12" of barrel just to save weight, but then you see they have extra battery holders, steel QDs, tool free quad rails w/ steel thumbscrews, 2.5 lb illuminator with no NV to even use it.....
It's a lie we all play along with

@professionalbigot69 @LordMordred That's gay too but better off. Instead this trend of carbines actually harms readiness on the civilian side, because people have super short barrels with shitty 55 gr FMJ, a far cry from the stuff the government's slinging out of a 10 5
You won't make a sale today bucko, we should have gotten the A5 in 2009, would have changed the industry in a different track. Longer, lighter keymod would have invigorated the rifle side at just the right time.

The whole point of the M16 was to be light as fuck. The ammo was nerfed so you could carry lots of it. This was all done in support of "cover and move" tactics, which were all the rage at the time. While a useful and legitimate tactic, it's not a silver bullet, and comes with significant costs against trained and armored enemies. (As opposed to rice farmers with a rusty AK47)

All in all I put the 7.62x39 and 5.56 in the same general bucket. The M4 platform is a better platform than the AK for well-funded, well-organized armies, and the AK is a better platform for illiterate peasants fighting a guerrilla bush war. Both rounds fit the same general combat niche.
If I had to choose exactly one weapon to equip all the US/Russian soldiers with, it'd be a plastic AR-10 chambered in 7.62x51. A lesser-of-evils compromise among all the bad single-platform options. Heavy, but not absurd. Powerful enough, but just barely. Good rifle, so long as you keep it clean. Not particularly cheap, but won't bankrupt the treasury if a couple get lost.
