“Good enough for me, unless you want to go for lesser, American-designed options.”
It’s bad enough that we have laws that limit development to large companies, now we have to deal with the contempt of our fellow citizens - that American designs are inferior. Geez. Is it any wonder that so few want to go into engineering? Law and business is so much easier and more profitable.....
Especially when trying to compete with state-owned companies.
That “contempt” comes from knowlege of the designs, not any particular derision of American companies or designers.
Get over it. FN makes a great product (as does Colt).
Our soldiers deserve THE BEST equipment, not equipment that you find politically expedient. If an American company (Magpul, for one) can step in and make a weapon that competes with the SCAR, the HK 416, and others, FINE. If not, that’s just the way it is.
