MP40 and MG42.
MP40 because every movie depicts every single German soldier in an entire battalion armed with an MP40 and killing innocent civilians for shits ans giggles, and the MG42 because American historians won't shut up about how terrifying it was to their beloved veterans and how it was literally Hitler's buzzsaw
And last probably any of the German pistols because the evil nazi Auschwitz officers used them to genocide 6 gorrilion jewish children just like the marcist teachers told them at school

They think anything with wood on it that isn't an AK is a "hunting rifle".
They also think that hunting rifles are less powerful than AR-15s for some reason, despite ARs only shooting .223. I mean, hunting rifles are specifically designed to kill deer and stuff, why would they be less powerful?

Wasn't really a point. FAL was in common use, did the job well, and they could get parts and weapons from South Africa who also fielded the rifle.

Except for the Gulf and the Yugoslavian Wars (which did involve NATO), where it was seldom present. Almost everything else were skirmishes. Saying it was important just because it popped up on semi-rare occasions is as valid as saying the Stoner 63 was important just because it showed up in Vietnam for one whole week before getting ditched by frogmen for AKs as usual. Yes, "week" it's an intentional embellishment.
>>625868
We've replaced our MD97s lately. In fact, we've been looking for a replacement since the early 90's. It's no coincidence that most countries had already replaced it by the turn of the century. Nothing fetishistic about carrying a brick of steel with double the necessary firepower and half the total amount of ammo to supply and carry than an intermediate cartridge rifle for the average grunt these days.
And no, the FAL wasn't in Korea. It was basically an East Asian WWII epilogue, and the arsenal was just so.

What happened is a bunch of /pol/fags decided to shit up the comment section of that video with a bunch of flagrantly racist memes and bullshit. You might say that's their right, but the overlords at Goolag don't take kindly to your internet spice trade and Ian is already treading a fine line with a channel built around military hardware.
They did that same thing when he started censoring the Nazi flag in the thumbnails. Of course they forget that he had to start doing that because he got a strike before he started doing that.
It's the same reason he had to pull auction house links from his video descriptions. YouTube changed the rules and threatened to shut down his channel.

Also remember that he had a few videos deleted and had to reupload them, and he tried both putting the Nazi flag in his videos AND editing older videos to uncensor the flags before that. And guess what happened? Faggots tried to get his entire channel taken down. /pol/niggers are pretty much doing the exact equivalent of passing an unjust law and then attacking anyone who disagrees with it as 'paranoid'. It's just that their angle is 'anyone who doesn't kill Jews on TV every day must be a commie!', even though the guy is very obviously libertarian and pro-gun. He's praised people multiple times for rebelling against totalitarian governments, he supports resistance movements, and he repeatedly presses the point of wishing automatics were more civilian legal. These fags don't even have an argument, it's just the same old NPC line of 'liberal faggot gay voice obvious ponytail' and being butthurt over a blatant joke video.
If you watch his Rhodesia and South Africa videos with Larry Vickers you can see how uncomfortable he is to have Vickers as a guest, because he doesn't like the things Vick says. And frankly, who would? Vick is obese, egotistical, and terrible at research, getting mechanical and historical details wrong all the time. But he's prominent, so in order to make good connections and get views that's who Ian has to do business with. And people do realise that if he acknowledged the South African genocide he would be kicked off the site for good, right? Google OFFICIALLY denies its existence, so he would be a 'fake news' or 'propaganda' source and he'd obviously be declared a 'fascist'. But /pol/ is anti-gun anyway, so they probably want him banned. Never forget they literally supported the 'accelerationist' idea of reporting all gun channels - that was their actual, organised plan when Youtube announced the rule change.
Besides, he's said since the beginning that he isn't interested in talking about politics not related to guns, so he hasn't.

Alright, you're too retarded to argue with. It's been fun, but you're just embarrassing yourself at this point. This is your last (You), eat it slowly.

You might be the one too retarded to argue with.

>We've replaced our MD97s lately. In fact, we've been looking for a replacement since the early 90's.
Well the 97 itself only game in in the late 90s and comes from a line of earlier attempts to make a 5.56mm FAL. 1997 is in the name after all.
>It's no coincidence that most countries had already replaced it by the turn of the century. Nothing fetishistic about carrying a brick of steel with double the necessary firepower and half the total amount of ammo to supply and carry than an intermediate cartridge rifle for the average grunt these days.
Sure, it's just that Brazil developed a series of rifles that were essentially 5.56x45mm FALs instead of dropping the design entirely like most others. Also the new IA2 have a 7.62mm variant that still uses what are essentially modernised FAL parts with polymer furniture and is likely to be adopted alongisde it, as I recall it's even compatible with FAL magazines.
>And no, the FAL wasn't in Korea. It was basically an East Asian WWII epilogue, and the arsenal was just so.
I never said it was, I just pointed out that it was a major conflict since WW2.

Yeah I realized that after posting. I meant the MD-2, which has been around since the 80's, coming from the earlier M964. A myriad of variants and upgrades for the same exact model gets jumbled up sometimes. While our new IA2s are based on the FAL, they're designed for 5.56 first and foremost to meet the STANAG standard, with later full cartridge versions.
>it's just that Brazil developed a series of rifles that were essentially 5.56x45mm FALs instead of dropping the design entirely like most others
It's just that we dropped the battle rifle version specifically to adopt intermediate rifle models with a tight budget for arms development to save development time and money. There's a reason why we made the 5.56 models, and that is that the FAL was becoming insufficient even for nations without declared enemies.

Fair enough. It's not like the UK did well by abandoning the FAL design.

SA80 was an unfortunate girl, but at least it got fixed with the A2.
How's that new variant coming along?

Less worse anyway.

Afraid I don't know enough to comment. We don't have the arms industry left to build anything anyway.

It's just the same thing but lighter and with standard pick-yer-tinny comparability really.

In either case, they had limited industrial capacity, laregly thanks to Britain's extremely backwards view of even the White colonies, hating the idea of them industrializing and being self-supporting in manufactured goods.
Rhodesia especially had it bad, since it was literally just some guys with farms and nothing else. Like, what was it, under a 250,000 whites in Rhodesia in 1970. They had fucking zero industry. They couldn't even build decent submachine guns of the quality that WW2 Leningrad built.
As far as South Africa went, they had industry, but like everyone else on the planet, felt absolutely zero shame in straight copying technology when they could. So they licensed a Galil copy from Israel and produced it at whatever number they felt like.

The AR-15 simply because of name recognition. Even if they were to realize that there are far stronger weapons out there, they'd still point to it and go
