..but wait... us soldiers don´t want to be flamed in iraq for using unlocks... ok... let them all have AK

Well, H&K weapons are VERY good, but they are not a German company any more.  However, they are a bit overly complex.
There are some very good US weapons.

the barret M468

The tavor is pretty nice. While the built on sight is good for speed and zero-retain, I can imagine that being a pain point for many who would say "what if I want another optic?"

H&K are German again. Were bought of Royal Ordinance about a year or two ago I believe by a consortium of German companies.

Future Weapons I think, on the Discovery Channel.

edit:

Confirmed, it is Future Weapons.

I think they should get the Diemaco C7, or TAR-21, not sure about the TAR though, i havent tryed it.
But i shot hundreds (if not thousands) with the Diemaco, and never had a problem with it, its a very reliable rifle build in Canada on license from Colt. but way better than the yank M16.
Its fully automatic and comes standard equipped with a Optical 4x scope.

Ah, a man after my old CS heart!  I think this was my second favorite weapon in the world back then, the first being my good looks.  Hey-yo!!

You should join the NZ Army then, it's our 'weapon of choice' so to speak, (Steyr, not you.)

The American Armed Forces should have switched to the XM8 series. I know the production of them has been cancelled, but they looked wicked bad!

M4 is just fine...and they should bring back the M-60.

Forget the M-60!  I had to haul around that piece of trash.  I would take the M240B any day.  I will take a couple more pounds for a better ROF and a LOT better reliability.

only fun I had with a 60 was in basic training.  when I got my unit it was 240's.  havent seen a 60 since 2000.   240B is a monster.  great weapon.  along the m16/m4.  Its served us well for the last 40 years.

The M240's the US version of the FN MAG isn't it?

Also badhq, lol if only.

H&K 416 - Replaces the M4's and M16's of those who already have had training with M16's.
H&K G36 - New issues assault rifles for new recruits who have no experience with the M16's.
I'm so good, I think about those who complain the G36 looks NOTHING like an M16 and would rather have a rifle that looks familiar and trustworthy...
H&K Weapons don't jam often, the only thing i can think of right now thats WRONG with it, is that for the G36, if you fire blank rounds you might have a problem, and if you have timed field striping, part of the gun might get damaged.
