what is the difference between machine guns and submachine guns?

True machine guns fire a RIFLE round, whereas submachineguns fire a PISTOL round.For example, the military M-60light machine gun fires the 7.62mm NATO (.308 Winchester) round, and the H&K MP5 submachinegun fires the 9mm pistol round.

M-16s?  No.  Not powerful enough.\n\nDillon 20 mm mini-guns installed on HUMVEES and Apache helicopters.  And land mines.  Let's not forget land mines.

yes\n\nit's the  KPV heavy machine gun ( 14. 5 mm ) it entered the service in 1949 as a infantry weapon later it became more in use as a light anti armour or anti aircraft machine gun and bullet has 2 times the energy of a classic .50 ( 12.7 mm ) round

An M4 is capable of full auto fire and has a fixed carrying handle, an M4A1 is capable of three round burst fire and is equipped with a detatchable carrying handle mounted on an accessory rail, and the M4A1 Sopmod is has the full auto feature and the M4A1 style accessory rail.

a tippmann 98 custom because you can turn it into a mega gun for almost half the cost of the big ones.  plus it is tournament legal right out of the box

The basic rifling machine is called simply a rifling machine.  Most modern firearms manufactuiring use a swag method where a super hardened spud is turned down the barrel blank to force/squeeze the metal into the proper land and grove pattern and twist ratio.\n\nThe best infor I can remember comes out out books by P.O. Ackley and Col Townsend Wheley or Whaley or similar.   These two engineers did a lot to improve modern rifling techniques.

Gun shots are louder and deeper. Firecrackers have a quick, high, sharp sound. Guns have more of a deep thunder, depending upon caliber. If you're shooting a .22, there's little difference. If you're shooting a 9mm, then the difference if obvious.

it really depends on the area you are playing. i bought an automatic submachinegun that has long range, accurate, and power, but it's $300. if you buy the rifle, you should buy a pistol for back up if someone comes right at you. just e-mail me if you have any question

i would have to say the ak/sks hands down. no matter if there is mud or water or anything. rack a round and that sob will shoot. unlike the m-16/ar-15 there prone to more jams. my romanian ak has never jammed on me that wasn't my fault. such as not loading the rounds right or having the tip not over the follower. my dpms panther has to be babied after 300 rounds.i have to clean the bolt and receiver out to clear out the build up of powder.

I like electric the best since you don't have to cock it and you don't have to buy gas and they don't hurt too bad. Spring guns are the cheapest though

Hey, folks.  You need to know that India and Pakistan have subs.  Very important distinction, they also have nukes.\n\nPakistan have several French Agnosta class subs with torp tubes.  The tubes may be retrofit-able to "dry" launch cruise type missiles, which Pakistan also has.  (Dry launch is launching the missile from the chamber before the rocket fires).\n\nSleep tight, everyone.  \n\n(May I recommend Guiness and Jameson?)

...the term "better" is very subjective; no doubt each has its strengths and weaknesses.  Judging strictly by the calibre rounds used, I would suspect (not having fired either) that the AK-47 has more power and the AK-74 is more accurate.  \n\nAs far as durability goes though, it would probably be tough to beat the AK-47.  It's quite a feat that a weapon designed in 1947 is still the assault rifle of choice for the majority of the world.\n\nAlso, I'm not sure but I think the AK-74 might be classified as a submachinegun whereas the AK-47 is an assault rifle.  If that's true, the 74 was designed for close-quarters.

Good luck on finding machine guns for sale.  You will have to jump through hoops that founders of this country would never would have wanted.

The original definition for the term "Assault Rifle" is a fully automatic gun that shoots rifle caliber ammunition and is designed mainly for military use. The gun grabbers have corrupted the meaning of Assault rifle to include semi-auto only versions of these guns. \n\nSo, an AK 47 capable of full auto fire would correctly be termed an Assault Rifle, the semi-auto only version would not.\n\nAll "Assault Rifles" are machine guns but all machine guns are not "Assault Rifles".

The widespread use of the Thompson was due mainly to the fact that it was the only allied submachine gun in mass production at the beginning of WWII. It had several weaknesses; e.g. weight and control. The Sten, for example, which was of stamped and welded metal construction and finished with a paint-like coating, scored higher than the Thompson when such things as simplicity, accuracy, weight and reliability were measured. \n\nThe .45 caliber M3/M3A1 are far easier to manufacture than the Thompson, and have a number of excellent design features in addition. The low cyclical rate of fire makes the gun easier to control than most submachine guns, not only the Thompson. The weapon's straight line of recoil thrust also adds substantially in controlling the gun in automatic fire. The gun's loose tolerances allow for reliable operation even if very dirty and, with its bolt and guide rod design make it more reliable than the Thompson under adverse conditions.\n\nThe M3/M3A1 is only capable of fully automatic operation; however, with its slow rate of fire, an experienced shooter can squeeze off single rounds.
