What do you think the US military's new rifle should be?
The irony of guns, is that they can save lives.

jord/GS/s3v3n/USM/whoever, is that against the rules to do?
It depends if whoever is with you is a scouser or not, I had 3 in the section, plus a scouse corporal and a scouse sergeant lololol
But it's not compact which is preferred by some.-Sh1fty- wrote:

Eh... We generally have 6 man teams, not 13. We also only have one officer per platoon, not per section.jord wrote:
You can see by this equation the distinct advantages this system has over the americans
8 men v 13 men
13 men includes 1x officer
13 mens effectivness divided by officer equals -3 men
This concludes the lsson
2 teams (SGT leading each) = 1 squad (SSG leading).
4 squads = 1 platoon (2LT nominally in charge, SFC really in charge).
2 platoons + HQ section = 1 company.
There will be 4 officers in the entire company. The CO (Captain), the XO (1st LT) and 2 platoon leaders (2nd LTs).

I like the SCAR personally. I don't see all the M16s in the Army's inventory going away anytime soon. Not with two wars going on and millions of rifles to replace.War Man wrote:

infantry that is. I know this because I seem to have always been in a 3rd platoon.
Psyop is different though.

We only had two platoons in each company in my battalion. Most battalions don't have a Delta company and we did.eleven bravo wrote:

depends. When I joined there was an echo company with a 4 platoon structure for my osut battalion. When I was in 2/7 there was a delta along with other infantry battalions in 3rd brigade until about year before OIF II when the delta companies were phased out.JohnG@lt wrote:

Well, I also wasn't infantry so that comes into play too I mean when I was in basic there were 4 platoons in my company. In AIT there were 3. At my PDS there were 2 so I assume it's set up with some logic to it.eleven bravo wrote:

I mean we technically had a Headquarters Platoon but it was just mechanics, the NBC chick, supply and the arms room guy. Probably only 15-17 people among them so It's more of a section than a platoon.

It's really down to preference. They have pros and cons. The M16 fires a small 5.56mm round very fast and very accurately, whilst the AK-47 fires a big heavy 7.62mm round slower and more inaccurately, but has more stopping power.Hurricane2k9 wrote:
jord what's a better rifle the M16 or AK47?
Why don't they use the P90, it rapes people on CoD:MW?
only with double tap

I originally was rooting for the Bushmaster ACR but it's a little too pricy. SCAR is nice though and I think it would be a nice replacement for some M16s/M4s. It's as reliable as a HK416 and versatileJohnG@lt wrote:
