mm Bullpup Assault Rifles, Whats Our Excuse?
www.youtube.com/watch?v=lJ3-5sDnDVc www.youtube.com/v/tMmaIZ8Umnk Yet the U.S. Army’s M16/M4 reloading advantage over the AKM is wasted if we do not drill to a high standard an efficient technique for reloading magazines. If empty magazines are dropped in a firefight, they will likely not be recovered–the M16/M4 needs box magazines to shoot, unlike previous M14s (or NATO FN FALs or the Russian SKS) which could be loaded directly from ammunition stripper clips. The next “M16A5” should have the ability to load from 10-round stripper clips if magazines have been lost. If magazines are lost, they can be used by the enemy firing through their own M16/M4s or made into a “booby trap” for our Soldiers to be wounded/killed. On the Non-Linear Battlefields (NLBs) of today, we do not have millions of men drafted into Army service to be 2nd and 3rd echelons to pick-up the dead and their weapons and ammo like we did in WW2 as related to me by my father a 1945 Okinawa U.S. Army combat veteran.
