I mean isn't that so you know when it needs to be reloaded by the feedback feeling different?

    sadly, the production stopped and now the replacement is German rifle

    Fun fact: the m16 has a pew-pew-pew mode for three rounds, but ours accepted only 20- and 50-round mags. (If I remember right)

    30 round banana mags became standard by the first gulf war and were certainly ubiquitous by the time of my pointless rotations hunting wmds. Very unfamiliar with 50 though. That like half a C mag?

    The chuckle I always had was with the thought of the alpha 1s, fully auto, with the 20 round Vietnam mags. That musta been like the BAR in ww2.... and I'm reloading and I'm reloading...

    Surely a metric rifle such as this should fire in bursts of 1, 10, 100, or 1000 bullets?

    It's hard to shoot a gun while you're waiving a white flag anyway.

    The French have won more battles than any other military Ever. Look it up, mate. You sound like Fox News Freedom Fries. Break free man.

    I wonder if they are counting Charlemagne?

    Also, I feel like China would have to have more..... Or do civil wars not count?

    I think no matter how you slice it you could work the stats to go your way on that, but the main point is the French were like a pretty unstoppable land power for 500 years, had 2 bad decades in the 1900s and never lived it down somehow

    When politicians tried to increase the retirement age in France they protested every day and shut the country down until it was reversed.

    The American government has been shut down for a month and people who aren't even being paid are continuing to show up for work. Once every couple months they'll gather in a polite group and say "please stop doing Human Rights Abuses" before carefully cleaning up and going back to work the next day in order to not be too big of an inconvenience.

    I wish Americans knew how to fight like the French.
