Are all European army's going to adopt the HK G36 as their standard weapon?

No I am sure,\n\nFrance army never will walk with German guns. They have there own weapon industry. This means lots of jobs in there own country. other big country's like Spain and Italy are also have there own industries. \n\nProbably the east Europe country s will adopt them. \n\nI like the G36 its a fine weapon with lots of good hightec options..\n\nBut you think yourself? UK will take HK G36 as there standard weapon? I cant believe that.

I can understand your wanting to explore "humane" bullets, but the reasons for FMJ far exceed your examples, the cost of FMJ's is MUCH less than say, JHPBT's or JHP's. Considering the average troop in a war situation rarely "aims" his rifle, but more to the effect of spray and pray, it seems logical that the best ammo for the average grunt would be FMJ's, perhaps elite forces or snipers should use this new ammo( by the way, your link won't open) But in all reality, the normal M193 series of ammo will be used.(M193 is standard FMJ .223 ammo the military uses) Occasionally they are issued armor piercing rounds depending on the mission.If the military re-tools for different weapons(already in the works with the HKXM series) I would assume different types os ammo would be used as well, perhaps the bi-metal rounds will find a home.

Aleksander Kashelnikov  (I have seen various spellings) who is the designer who originally produced it for the Soviet Union.  It is still in production and is one of the most widely available automatic rifles in the world today.  Not particularly well-made, but it is cheap and takes a fair amount of abuse so it is ideal for those with little or no training.

First the weapon is secondary to the person behind it, Second there are many different shooting situations so no one rifle will fill all needs ie.. overpenetration, range, application, I own 2 one very expensive one very inexpensive I can get sub minute of angle groups from both.\n\nThe Heckler & Koch PSG - 1 is considered the rolls royce of sub MOA guns.\n\nand the Dragunov is a very inaccurate POS.\nIf you are over 18 and need more info I will give you some good links.

Not any time soon, the new weapons program that also includes the FN-SCAR and the new HK rifle has been bogged down in politics for awhile, Spec-Ops guys might be able to obtain some of the these rifles, but it will be years til the regular infantry sees a change from the current M-16 series of rifles.

Bound's hubby here:\n\nThe 8mm Mauser round should be adequate for deer and boar, provided that you use hunting ammo, not surplus Full Metal Jacketed rounds.\n\nA few things to consider ...\nFirst, make sure you have properly sighted in your surplus rifle. I have a 98K M48 that shoots rather decently to the sights, but not good enough in my book for hunting. My shooting buddy has a WWII proof house 98K that does not shoot to the sights. Consider a Long Eye Relief scope on a forward mount for your hunting needs.\n\nSecond, the 8mm Mauser is kinda like Germany's response to the .30-06 ... German troops fired the .30-06 in their rifles when they ran out, and cound confiscate American ammo ... the 8mm bullet is as heavy as the '06 ... and only a few thousandths larger in diameter!\n\nCheck out the comparative ballistics in the link below!

Some guy in Australia just invented a gun which fires one million rounds in a minute, or over 15,000 each second (its called Metal Storm and it's nuts).\nTrust me, bullets will be around for a while.

Actually, spartanerik, the XM8 program was cancelled. The M4A1 is a good rifle, but I like the M16A4 better. It has a little more power and accuracy than the carbine, and makes for a pretty good sniper's weapon, in a pinch. (With optics, of course)

I've wanted a PDW for a while now, MP7 is the "new" name for it I guess, I like the caliber, it developes enough fps to penetrate several layers of kevlar, but it wont penetrate ceramic armour plating.If it had a little more umph to it, like the FN P90's caliber of  5.7x28mm SS190  \nit would truly be an impressive firearm.

im sure there are plenty of countries using it.... possibly the british army ..... most military branches dont give out information on what types of training exercises they have that could possibly get into the wrong hands

The 9mm will take about anyone. It is very effective here in Afghanistan and was effective in Iraq too. I prefer the M4 and M24 more. Being able to reach out and touch someone before they can fire back is the safest way to go.

Any other markings on it?\nI just looked in, "The Illustrated Encyclopedia of Handguns, Pistols & Revolvers of the World 1870 to the Present" and found no such critter.\nGermany made tons and tons of .25 caliber pistols prior to its defeat and split in 1945. Just because it says it's made in Germany doesn't mean it's "worth a lot."\nSmall pocket pistols made in Germany, prior to 1945, are still quite prevalent. Most of the time they don't fetch much money, say $100 or less.\nQuality on many of these pocket pistols was not good. Exceptions are pistols made by Walther, Sauer, Mauser and DWM. These tend to be very well made.\nCan you describe the pistol better?\nIs it a semi-auto pistol or a revolver (the kind that has a cylinder)?\nOddly enough, Europeans also made revolvers in .25 Auto caliber, so to say it's .25 caliber doesn't necessarily restrict it to a semi-auto handgun.\nHow do you know it's .25 caliber, by the way? If it's truly made in Germany and of .25 caliber it should actually be marked 6.35mm instead of .25 ACP.\nThe cartridges are the same but the Europeans have long used the Metric system when designating cartridges.\nProvide all the markings on that handgun and perhaps I can find it. I could find nothing about Cheyenne, Wyoming or Indian Works.\nIt's not unusual to have European handguns named after the American West. The Europeans have long been thrilled with the West, so their gun makers often gave their guns Old West names to appeal to European buyers.\nThe Europeans are still nuts about the Old West. They even have Cowboy Action Shooting clubs in Germany, France and Belgium today.

I don't know where the current battle rifle is being made but I thought it was being made by the Brits. Before this current rifle they were buying there rifles of the Belgiums who produced the FN-FAL series of rifles. The current Brit rifle is probabaly one of the best rifles ever made as it is customized to each soldlier.

Yes guns should NOT be legalised in britain. It opens it up for any maggot to get a hold of one, One of the nice things about living here is knowing that we have little chance of ever seeing one, let alone having one pointed at us. However we do have the right to bear arms and defend ourselves against intruders. This could be anything that comes to hand, even your hands themselves. Maybe a handy baseball or cricket bat, or a hammer. Personally I favour the razor sharp samurai sword. Nothing says 'get the fuck out of my house' quite like one of those.

No.  The M-14 replaced it in Viet Nam. and the M-16 is what most troops are using now, although some are using the M-4 carbine-which I haven't heard any complaints about that.\n\nThe arguement can be made that the AK-47 is vastly superior because it rarely jams

Definitely not. As a European I can tell that. But maybe there is a small change in what methodes we use. Traditionally it has been with weapons, and we have bad experiences with that. Now, I think, most Europeans try to fight with arguments and solve problems peacefully rather than with violence.\nMaybe in the end it will turn out to be better, who knows...
