This new rifle sounds like that updated version of the M-14. You know the rifle McNamara killed for the M-16. I think this is the updated M-14 the SEALs are using.

The SA-80 has been a POS. The old FN FAL’s rock.

I am really hot on a DSA Arms updated clones of the FALs.

STG 58’s are a little more moderate in cost:

Who is Law Enforcement International a US company that makes the rifle?

Maybe the U.S. forces can get some of these so they are not shooting dinky .223 in Afghan.

"The SA-80 has been a POS."

Mechanically it has been, but ergonomically, (for me anyways) it's one of the best designed weapons I've ever fired.

That's an oversized M-16 designed to fire the same 7.62mm round that the M-14 does. It's basically a match-grade sniper rifle, and there are only a couple of troops in each unit that can be trained to use it to its maximum effectiveness. It's a very specialized rifle that has more use in mountainous country than in cities.

Here's the gun in question (don't know about that hat though...)

Nothing like an M-14

I must admit, I wish modern military weapons just had a little bit of wood on them...makes them much more human, I think.
