I did search and read! What's the hostility all about? Why can't I have an open debate with you? You people have tons more experience than the Dutch have, I'm just curious about your findings on topics I like. That's all. I mean no disrespect whatsoever. Why am I being kept out? Because the M1 Carbine happens to be the one and only firearm I ever shot? Because when I applied for a job as an officer in my Army I got rejected simply because the pathetic psychologist who was doing the interview asked me the question on how I would treat my men while in harms way didn't like my answer, stating: 'I'd never order them to do something I wouldn't do myself, and I would turn to God for comfort after the mission got done'? Please, try to see it in retrospective: you can't discuss home improvement with a plumber because you aren't certified for that job?! I won't dicuss military history with my ever-interested nect door neighbour simply because she doesn't have a degree in history? Come on......! Again, I don't mean to troll your website or invade your community or whatever. I'm just interested in your straight forward feedback as a professional. I'm just a student from the Netherlands [a NATO ally!!!!] that happens to have a lot of respect for the experience and knowledge YOU [SOCOM] have. So why close yourself of from society? The military should be standing right in the middle of society.... (By all means, agree to disagree......)
I agree on the narrowing down to one weapon/caliber, but I'm just asking a straight forward question about these two. As general service rifles. Not too many people here care what they say on other forums or what your friends think. You know how opinions are.
Indeed. Neither do I care about other forums, that’s why I came to you guys in the first place. I want to know what the man on the ground with a track record thinks about this and that, not what some gun nut or desktop warrior claims.
I didn’t join PS.com to just ask gun questions. Not only, but in this topic yes I did.
Yes, with the proper paperwork and semi-auto only one can own a military grade rifle. Although gun regulations are very strict overhere and the Peoples Republic of the Netherlands has no such thing as the 2nd Amendement. So please forgive me for my lack of first hand firearms experience.....
And let me make it clear that I’m not some guy that made up an identity for himself. I really am who I am. If anybody around here feels the need to verify me with my professors/references: just PM me and I’ll give you their coordinates.
@Justinmd
That sounds interesting. Could you give me specifics about those ‘insights’ on the ACR [chambered in 6.8, not 5.56] and the 6.8 round?
