Heck, if it's the best rifle for the job let's use 'em. I couldn't care less if it was designed by Martians. Just make sure we build 'em here in the USA.

Because the AW ban, plus the Machine Gun ban of 1986, has essentially killed most American combat rifle innovation. There were hundreds of designs on the boards a decade and a half ago.

My father the engineer always said: "good equipment forgives alot of sins."

Believe it.

That's why I wouldn't buy and American car on a dare!
