1911s just fit in my hand well and have great triggers, I think they're a great military handgun, just not a concealed Carry/LE pistol, Id prefer DA/SA

However, beyond personal preference the best warriors in the world use AR. The people that put their live on the line choose AR. The tip of spear choose AR. It's not my opinion it's a fact. This video is what made Blackwater famous. The video shows Travis Haley and few Blackwater contractors repelling hundreds of insurgents trying to overrun their position. What are they using? AR15. They could have picked the FAL or M14 or G36 or whatever, but all of them used AR15. Why? Because it is the best weapon. The AR15 is the rifle of choice for contractors in Iraq, Afghanistan, and around the world. It's not my opinion it is a fact. http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=bcf_1190074398 Travis Haley is now employed by Magpul under the division name Magpul Dynamics. He still using the AR15. The best warriors use AR15. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=segtXBwglj4 The Navy SEAL that killed the three pirates used mk-11 (SR25/AR10) which is the big brother of the AR15. The US Army is replacing their M24 with M110 (SR25/AR10/Mk-11). The M14 is being replaced by the M110 as the primary designated Marksman rifle. Why? Because the AR accuracy is superior to bolt action rifle. No other auto action rifle can do what the AR does. US Special Force as well as other nation can use whatever weapon they like. Yet almost all Western SF units choose AR. Why because it is the best. |

Or they just get the most training on the AR-15 and want weapons systems they are familiar on for training purposes. The AR-15 is good, but not all-powerful.

But it shoots bullets made of compressed death, it is 100% accurate, never runs dry and it improves gas mileage on your car by 25%, how could it not be all-powerful?

Again, this is not opinion. It's fact. If you look at the weapons of most of the SFs that are pro-U.S. (or at least not overtly anti-American), you'll see all of them using M16s and M4s. Surely, you can't deny that that is significant? BTW, I'm old enough and have been reading gun rags long enough to remember all of the new rifle platforms that came along over the years which were touted as superior to the M16 and M4, and then wound up failing to gain acceptance. Especially the ones built by H&K. People have been criticizing the AR platform for decades now, and yet at the end of the day, its popularity has endured. No other rifle platform, even "improved" ARs like the H&K 416, has yet managed to eclipse the popularity of the traditional direct gas impingement M16 and M4. |

If you never took combat/small arms training or been in the military. You might want to take a look at Magpul Dynamics - Art of the Tactical Carbine, (3 DVD Set). It is inexpensive compare to going to class or buying other videos similar to it. http://www.bravocompanyusa.com/Magpu...d%20dyn001.htm PSYWAR1-0 did made some interesting points on the AR15 about the SCAR. http://www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=6&f=2&t=276835 I have held the SCAR but never shot it or did a complete disassemble of the SCAR but PSYWAR1-0 is in the industry so his comments have weight.

In military and LE, they have objectives like defending or taking territories (rescuing hostages)but rarely both. In other worlds there should one attacking and one defending team. Each team have an objective. The attacking team trying to take the defending team territories, while the defending team trying to prevent it. I don't remember how their disable bomb mission works but what I do remember is that I thought it was silly. It's all about clear objectives. TF2 while doesn't have realistic guns it does have clear objectives and I think it is one of the best tactical FPS out there. |

One FPS I recently got the chance to play was the STALKER series, including Shadow of Chernobyl and the prequel Clear Sky.
The first one handled firearms very well, with semi-realistic performance and a variety to DIE for. The second one got lost in weapon upgrades which is still believable but not perfect. The weapons are also a mix of East-bloc surplus and mercenary imports, and include handguns with an impressive range, with no clear standouts. From a gameplay balance standpoint, it sucks, but from a gun-nerd's view it's awesome. SIG Sauer P226s, HK USP, 1911, Beretta 92FS, a weird anomalous Desert Eagle(shooting .45ACP), Walther P99, Fort MK12 etc. Plus they portray multiple types of ammunition with different qualities and ranges. Rifles are well varied too, but the G36K is portrayed as the end all beat all rifle. Tragically enough. Also, the only SMG is an old model MP5. In fact, the IMFDB page on STALKER is really good! I've said too much now I think. Suffice to say Clear Sky wasn't as good. |

I think Arma was the only game to successfully capture the realism of military and shooting. The gun is even more to the right of the screen in FPS since most shooters fire from their right shoulder. And no "from the hiP" crap that every FPS has for some reason. Sniping is pretty cool too.

You think guns ejecting cartriges to the ledt are wierd? Try Battlefield Vietnam. All the guns are lefteies fired right-handed (exept for the M60 and RPD, the belt-feds). It's realywierd when you have a leftie bolt gun fireing right-handed. Truly bizzare. Also, the game has no medic class and. while slightly better than Battlefield 1942, isn't great. I bought Battlefield 2 and thought "wow, i can use the sights" and i have only killed one friendly for being stupid. good game
