DaAwesome1: ..yes na, won't you run. There is no soldier who won't run at some point of a fierce battle. That is why to succeed you must engage them outside their kill zone. You need artillery, mortars or missiles.... or if you have the guts you can hunker down till they run low on ammunition because those things donot come with much due to the weight.... But who will dash you guts when you hear them spitting fire and the ground is shaking. Abeg, these soldiers are trying and we must support them from the COAS down to the infantryman on the field. They make terrible sacrifices everyday. War is bad, very bad. We need political solutions. 3 Likes |

The AK 47 remains the best war weapon in the world. Most people don't understand why the US military don't use AK47...the AK was developed by the Soviet Union, the Us is a weapon manufacturing entity on their own and it's not ethical to them to use a Soviet/Russian weapon.

Most of you just come here to paste what you have copied from the net regarding the efficency of the aforementioned rifles, let's face reality you laud AK47 when the boko haram terrorists use GPMG , do you know for God knows how long we have been utilising the AKs in the battle against the insurgents, do you know how many times we have cocked the so called rifle and round failed to enter the chamber, you talk about how tavor is used for close quarter, do you even know the efficiency and calibre? Do you know how close we get to them during a shootout or you think we shoot from afar, We would even prefer using a Trusted Tavor than an AK that would fail after the second magazine. 6 Likes |

IWI tavor the official riffle of the DSS effective range is 550m(550yard) while AK 47 which the military and police use is just 350 m(350 yard) whosoever thinks AK is better than Tavor is not right when it comes to effective range but on ruggedity and easy mentainace AK is better 2 Likes |

How come Nigeria army don't have the "anti-artillery guns" which were supposed to be used against the insurgence in the Northeast,and if they do, why didn't they used it in the matete fight? Because, some survivors of the matete massacre came online saying the insurgence were better equipped than them, while they were just with AK47. 2 Likes |

Tarvor is an Isreali Assault Rifle with 5.56mm calibre (30 rounds) and an effective shooting range of 550m Ak47 is a Russian Automatic Rifle with 7.62mm calibre (10- 100 rounds feeding capabilities) and an effective shooting range of 350m Both Rifles can be modified with IR Holographic sights etc. The AK47 is the most used/popular firearm in the world today. It has killed more lives than any weapon built in our modern world. So in other words, it is tested and trusted, and used by almost every military and para-military(including ours). Before now we used the Lar rifle, of Danishh origin which is a little similar to AK47 but all iron and not water proof, unlike AK47. It was heavier and had a hard recoil. The Tavor is new introduced late 90s, it hasnt seen much battle (wars) so its popularity/ acceptance is still low, although its pros outshadows the old AK47; it has a longer range, it is lighter cos its mostly plastic and its more comfortable to shoot (recoil is soft on your shoulders) The Tavor is almost impossible to see on the black market and very expensive, cost alot more than an AK47. Its availability is strictly controlled. You will almost never see armed robbers with a Tavor compared to an AK47. The DSS and NIA, dont have the staff strength of the Armed Forces or Police Force, it is easier to procure these expensive FireArms and control their use. With the serious corruption going on in the Armed Forces and NPF, it is almost impossible to over haul their Arms $ ammunitions, besides the AK47s are still functioning well. 7 Likes |

You can't compare AK47 to that X95 TABO that DSS carry. In terms of effective range and how rugged AK47 is. In water you can still � AK. If you aren't in the game you won't know. |

yusufu16: DSS protect politicians, the army protect Nigerians, that's the difference, the NNSBS a specialized unit in the army uses that Tavor riffle too. You must understand that Nigerian defense budget is meager as such there are equipment that will never go round rather it is provided for specialized units. 2 Likes |

[quote author=Nwibii post=73576088][/quote] Nigerian army has all those weapons. But wit the weapons (gun trucks, Anti-artillery guns) and APCs Boko Haram used for that battle, the military division there was not equipped to suppress them. And many of our soldiers decided to retreat. Now the weapons left by our military in that location will be in the hands of Boko Haram. Thats how Boko Haram keeps waxing. So the problem here is not just the military being under-equipped, it's about the terrorist better equipping themselves too via left arms and weapons purchase with the money they are making from ransoms. Hope it can be resolved soon. 1 Like |

FarahAideed:You don't know what you are talking about. In an open field AK 47 is good, in an urban setting, it is not good enough, because of space, you need a shorter gun, there are many hiding spots, so if you are to hide, you must hid yourself completely, not when you hide then a part of your gun sticks out in the open, so it depends on situation. AK 47's rival is M16 AR. The M16 is made and closely guarded by the US, while AK47 was actually made by the Nazis, though they did not call it AK47, any ways you can Google it. 1 Like |

Fortune109: I don’t know what you mean by the best. This is what researchers say about AK47 and American AR15: Just looking at the side-by-side comparison, one has to give the nod to the AR-15. It is more accurate and offers superior ballistics at long range. The AK-47 is clearly superior for reliability and short-range ballistics, making it an obvious choice for anyone who needs a short-range tactical rifle. Therefore they both have what they are good at respectively. AK47 is easier to handle. Easy to be disassembled and assembled by soldiers and good for short range fire. But AR15 is the best for accuracy and longer range fire. No sniper would consider using AK47. That’s what AR15 is good for. Accuracy and longer range. 1 Like |
Re: Why Do DSS Carry Sophisticated Weapons Than Our Soldiers by reformed: 4:02pm On Dec 05, 2018 |
We should be talking about newer variants of the AK like the recently developed AK12 and AK15, not AK 47. Even the Russians that invented it have since phased it out. Tavor over AK47 anytime |
Re: Why Do DSS Carry Sophisticated Weapons Than Our Soldiers by Fortune109: 4:09pm On Dec 05, 2018 |
business4all: If the AK is more reliable and it is almost at per with the AR-15 in every other aspects, then that explains why the AK 47 remains the first choice of cambatants around the world. People would prefer an AK that is cheaper to maintain, durable and easily available to any other riffle. Remember we are talking about real battle, nobody wants to take the risk. 1 Like |
