--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I am confused, how to classified "gun" as "machineguns"? Was it by the 100 rds magzine it carries? I know Assault rifles like M4 have being fited with 100 rds C-mag but are they considered as MGs? But British Bren only have a 30 rds banana clip and it is still a "machinegun"? can anyone enlightened me please

Didn't the NCC teach you?

How can you suggest sending SAF soldiers to fight in other people's wars when you don't even know such a simple thing?

Rifle: A firearm with a rifled bore, designed to be fired from the shoulder.

Defined by length of bore and grooves in barrel, aka accuracy and rounds with strong penetrating power.

Machine gun: A firearm that fires rapidly and repeatedly.

Defined by the numerous repetition of shots within a short timeframe, thus usually not suitable to be fired without a mount or proper training.

Sub-machine guns: A portable firearm that can fire rapidly and repeatedly.

Defined by lightweight and low recoil (pistol rounds) with similar standards for repeated shots, thus making it safe for shooting without a mount.

Assault rifles: Similar to rifles except it's capable of firing rapidly and repeatedly. Though that will be compensated with lower accuracy.

Pistol : A small firearm designed to be fired from the hand and loads with magazines.

Revolver: Similar to pistol except it's loaded through chambers with revolving cylinders.

Handgun: A generic term for firearm that can be used with one arm.

Musket: A smoothbore firearm designed to be fired from the shoulder using spherical pellets.

NCC didn't teach me though, but my soul teaches me to fight wars andk ill people though, and that's a fact! Twisted Evil

Assault Rifles and Sub-machine guns are totally different from Rifles and Machine Guns respectively.

As discussed previously,

Rifle: Accurate, portable and deadly.

Assault Rifles: Deadly, portable and rapid.

Sub-machine guns: Weak, portable and rapid.

Machine Guns: Deadly, bulky and rapid. (Machine guns do comprise of a barrel that can exchanged due to rapid firing.)

Anyway all u need to noe is to how to operate guns and shoot people and you got a war! Well flame me if you like, but why should i care if u disagree with me, I stood very firmly here and I like war and that will be my fact HAHAHAHA Twisted Evil

U seem to have forgotten that some "machineguns" are modified from assault rifles

Nelstar SG

Wrong. A war is fought between nations. Not just mere shooting of people.

A fight is a scuffle between two parties.
A battle is an armed encounter between two opposing force.
A war is a state of armed conflicts between nations, parties, states, oftenly carried over a prolonged period.

You only know how to engage in a fight. Laughing Twisted Evil

Nelstar SG

Modified after rifles, not from. Assault Rifles are usually called dangerous weapons because the untrained and unfit cannot operate it well.

Caesar95 SG

unfortunately the guns pictured here are catelogised as machineguns

Nelstar SG

They met the requirements to become a Machine-gun.

A mounted stand, rapid fire, deadly.

Nelstar SG

Categorised, not Catelogised.

Catalogues + Category? Laughing

Anyway with a stand, any portable weapons becomes bulky.
