Quick question, are M-16s able to have a grenade launcher attachment (or am I thinking of other guns)?

Of course they do.

Yes, ever hear of or seen the M203? That's an M16A2 it's attached to.

And JorBo, while I do like the modability and compact nature of the M4, I really don't like the fact that it's more prone to malfunctioning than the M16A2. And this info. about the malfunction problem comes from alot of armorers.

Congratulations on purchasing a piece of antiquated, conscript issue, Soviet hardware.

I own an M91/30, minus the cleaning rod and bayonet. It was issued in 1941 and came from the Izvesk Arsenal(If memory serves correct.) It has been fired countless times and isn't really that accurate. It is definitely reliable and the Nagant only bolt action weapon that didn't copy the Mauser. By biggest issue with it is that the bolt seems to be hard to open again after firing a shot. Maybe it's just been used way too much. I don't think the barrel has any rifling left.

I also happen to own a British Lee Enfield .303(Good Rifle, with a ten round magazine) and an M1 Garand(Springfield Armory). Both are pretty accurate(Especially the M1)

I have more, but those are the most noteworthy.

Any SKS with a 30rd banana clip is a POS. It works alot better with the standard 10rd fixed magazine and stripper clips. I should know, I have both.


BTW, whats the latest on the XM8/M8?

All I can say is I've never had problems with mine that couldn't be fixed in a few seconds or prevented altogeather with proper care.

They're still working on the XM8. They've given it to a few units to test out.

From what I hear, the XM8 is practically sold as it is. It's cheaper and lighter than an M4/M16 and as reliable as a G36(Go HK!). It's hard to believe that it wouldn't be accepted...

XM8 status update (September 2005): Following several complains about non-competitive procurement of the XM8 system from Heckler-Koch USA, US Army first opened the bidding for contract to other companies, and then, in the July 2005, suddenly suspended the entire OICW Increment 1 program to re-think the entire set of requirements for the possible replacement of current M16 rifles and M4 carbines. These requirements will be re-viewed as Joint Services effort. At the present time, it seems that development of HK XM8 is suspended; it may be resumed if XM8 suit the new US Joint Service Requirements for a new assault rifle system; or, it may not. We will watch this process closely and update this article when new information will be available.


So, if it is resumed for the "Joint Service Requirements", we can expect to see it issued to all branches, right?
