Grandpa because of your age, you find it difficult to make comparism.
There are different guns for different ocassions. M14 is a long range rifle while AK47 is midrange rifle. AK47 is more reliable and easier to assemble and use. M14 is an american gun so americans will also rate it very high but AK is not an american gun.

If AK47 is not reliable, why are people still using it today, despite the fact that it is older than M14.

A lot of people don't argue reasonably jare. How can they compare Naija to US and all, we're just developing nao. And I think naija's armory @ this level is quite impressive. If anything goes wrong in africa, naija can rule the whole africa put together.

Its a statement of fact that naija has one of the best military around the world (land soldiers)

We only have lesser force in AIR and SEA and those things are damn expensive. Why would we want to plunge all our resources into arms when we're not @ war.

Ask the german or american military, they respect the Nigerian army, they know wetin dem eyes see from those ecomog boyz in Liberia.

E just pain me say after all these display, boko still dey terrorize us.

Don't mind them. Nigerian military is still among the best, if not the best, in africa.

sobaemma: hahahahahahha,lol,nigeria rule africa in terms of miltaryare u 4 realsee 4get the peace keeping issue and the au top rating of nigeria,is because of our population,u dont expect us to bring 2000 troops,and niger 200,ghana,400,and they will place them above us,if u think nigeria is that super why did they fought just a tribe 'biafra' that just got independence for few days with no plan of war ahead of them for almost 3 years with the help of the arabs and cant defeat,even when they had no foreign support,they only won afters years through blocking food supply send to them,so nigeria military cant fight??imagine we had war with another nation not a tribe that we dont ve access to their food supply,so wotz next?to me that cowadice act wont work,so dont protray nigeria military as if they are something while they are nothing

Mr knowitall.:
My God This is garbage...even a 1980 M1 Abrams tank is much better than these garbage you call military hardware......what are

people in scuba gears gonna do? You should even be ashamed to show this crap as military hardware...please remove all

these pictures they are distasteful.....there are more like military crap ware....Nigeria should dismantle its military

and contract it's defense to the Chinese government. Those tanks look like tanks for the U.S civil war area...and there

were tanks in the civil war...SHAKING MY HEAD...and why in the world is the Nigeria military still using AK-47? that gone

is a piece of crap..so inaccurate...all these pictures makes me sick..

chris365:

can you be more specific cos you sound incoherent here. are you talking in terms of gear or just the gun?

ogb5: a little of these we were able to force Boko haram to start begging for peace. That's all that matter now.

We are not planning to invade the US so why spend so much money on modern day war machines when a lot of people are jobless and civil infrastructures are in shambles.

Fix the economy first, military hardware can come later

I'm saying special forces shouldn't be using AK-47s, I don't care if its only the Nigeria army using it.

AK-47 is now ubiquitous, almost anyone can lay hands on that rifle, most rebel groups use AK-47s. How can you call yourself special forces when there is nothing special about your force? Special forces and rebels using the same gun, where is the sense in that.

There are many very powerful, accurate, high velocity, light weight, reliable rifles out there, there is no excuse for using Ak-47.

longjon: Vektor CR-21. Made in South Africa

Crassus:

Its cheap. that is why. only irregular armies use it and third world countries. WOW u really dont know anything

duni04: Most of the tanks were procured from second hand shops in downtown shanghai. How can u b even posing with scuba diving gear or parachute that some 16yr old's in some countries can use. Later they'll award 1 billion naira contract to buy 10 parachutes, height of stupidity

Please, go the link below.

Americans will always route for the products. M rifles are of american origin, while the AK ones are of Russian origin.

HAH: Despite all this Boko Haram is resisting them, to an extend they have to agree on both side seize fire.

Who is fooling who ?

I am getting tired of teaching you everything read the Rifle evaluation study charts. on the same page.

Some of you should get yourselves a little education in the art of war.

The JTF is not fighting a conventional war, they are fighting a gorilla Warfare, the enemy is not in a military fatigue, they are insurgents, terrorist, they are in civilian clothing hiding among civilians.

It is not easy to fight a (gorilla warfare), you 'll need a specially forces who are specifically train to fight such.

If in doubt, ask the US military in Iraq and Afghanistan.

I'm telling you! Every now and then we keep having this debate, I keep hearing some people say AK-47 is this and that bla bla bla, I just take it they are ignorant.

AK-47 is good, but there are far better out there

Only someone insane would compare a 1950s rifle to a modern day rifle. They should go to the streets of America and see brand new AKs being sold for less than $200

I'm tired of lecturing some people
