UuzbaGuuzba: Did you ever read about King David? God told him that he couldn't build a temple for him because he(David) had 'shed much blood in my sight in the earth'. David is now in heaven with God. Abraham had trained servants who went after those wh o captured his cousin lot. They Killed those who took Lot. Abraham is in heaven with God. When you kill in self defense then you have heaven's backing |

mrvitalis:M4 is far better than AK. AK is old fashioned |

bettercreature: while AK 47 is our standard issue riffle, the DSS, Navy and special forces use the French FAN Fal and Tavor 21 respectively. CTU uses AK 103 used by Iran. Nigeria is a poor country we can only use what we can afford |

mrvitalis:are you aware that the country that gave you AK 47 have advanced beyond that. |

ReubenE: I doubt if the US will licence you to produce the M4 unlike the Russians licensed the AK. You really want the US to license you to use the carbine? guess you want to fly the raptor too. 1 Like |

jpphilips: I guess our problem is bigger than I thought! Whichever way, our security concern is now bigger than the AK, hence the call for change.... |

erico2k2: All the weapons she mentioned (L115A3 AWM, Cheytac, Barrett .50 Cal, AS50, Dragunov SVD, PSG1, M21, etc) are all marksman/sniper rifles. They are used to take out enemy combatants and sometimes, vehicles, from behind the frontlines. The weapons in the list you shared includes weapons like the M-16, AK 103, H&K G3 and the FN Scar-L, which are all assault rifles. Assault rifles and marksman/sniper rifles are in different classes altogether and cannot be compared together. We also have other classifications of rifles like anti-materiel (not material) rifles and battle rifles. each classification has its purpose and weapons should only be compared with those in the same classes, not in different classes. Also, in the link you shared, you'll notice that the M-16 is listed in number 1 followed by AK 103 in number two and FN Scar in number 10. I do not know if the list was listed accordingly but the M 16 should not even appear in a list of rifles yet it did because the site is American. |

dopedealer: who is this guy? Assault rifle or CIWS? im sure Tavor doesn't make CIWS. So long as you will have to replace your 30 rounds magazine, the whole RPM is for statistical purpose not a realistic assessment. |

ReubenE: You must be in one alliance or another with the US before you can easily have access to their platforms, in most cases, their export variants are stripped to give them superiority against adversaries and friends turn foe. That is why I get worried when kids talk without understanding Global complexities. 1 Like |

SmartyPants: You know the M16 ammo is smaller than the AK47, that should be a determinant of its effective lethal range, i doubt if AK is a mere 200m though, it should be in the range of 350m |

jpphilips: probably true...i was just being conservative |
Re: Ground Vehicle Acquired By The Nigerian Army From The UK by jpphilips(m): 2:21pm On Dec 08, 2016 |
ReubenE: You should be talking about higher variants of the AK, not suggesting a different platform altogether, especially one that is subjected to restrictions, it is one thing to suggest what you think, it is another to read and study widely to know how feasible the opinion is or better still, just ask the right questions. the only problem I have is that I have lived long enough to understand how the world works, I don't know about you. |
Re: Ground Vehicle Acquired By The Nigerian Army From The UK by ReubenE(m): 3:26pm On Dec 08, 2016 |
jpphilips:First, my comment was not a suggestion but an answer to a question raised by a nairalander. For clarity, here is the question I quoted "which riffle is better than the AK?" Perhaps you were too excited so could not read the comments from the beginning. I am not a weapons expert but I sure understand how the world works especially the dynamics of international politics and how it affects nation-states. Lastly, about whether I have lived long enough to understand how the world works, I think I do. Good afternoon |
