A little question...

[Walle]

If an american soldier gets a problem with his weapon when on assignment, what does he do?

[Ratamacue]

He cries and asks Sweden to help him.

[USAF G]

Depends on the problem. Is this another thread that will allow you to go on about the superiority of you country's rifle? :roll: Just wondering?

[Walle]

USAF G> Nope, this is a question of curiosity.

Ratamacue> Thats really cute, would you like a hug with that? And perhaps a clean skirt too?

[Ratamacue]

Sure, that'd be great.

[budanski]

He can still whack you across the head with it. HOORAH!

[USAF G]

It could pose a problem if you're 400 meters away, unless armalite has a real long-rifle.

Pun intended.

Well thats a big IF, and we all know that no one would give that a second thought.

Question to you Walle; If Norway again are being attacked by a foreign force; Will your country allow our enemy to use your socalled neutral territory for easy accsess between the different fronts insidde Norway?

And will their rifles be dragged by that train over the railroad tracks while in transit? :bash:

[budanski]

Since were speaking of hypothetics here. I'm assuming hes going it alone right? If not, he'd have a coalition Aussie throw it as a boomerang and take you out or just shoot you himself. But since you only mention one soldier, that could only mean him to be elite soldier patrolling on his own. As far as I know, The U.S. special forces carry the biggest punch in the world with at their disposal a carrier fleet, gunship, bombers, etc. (you get the picture). All he has to do is laser range out 400 meters and tag, youre it.

Well then if he's that elite who's to say he doesn't have a secondary...

[Ratamacue]

If a Swedish soldier gets a problem with his weapon when on assignment, what does he do?

[ScoutRanger]

Leaves it behind, they dont use those things anyway.

[Chet Mystery]

If a Swedish soldier gets a problem with his weapon when on assignment, what does he do?

Why, don't be silly. Swedish weapons can't have problems. I mean its designed to last a WEEK in the bloody GROUND! And can be DRAGGED through a FOREST.

I mean, who cares if they can shoot, let alone accurately, so long as it can withstand that sort of abuse which is obviously part of the Swedish army's SOP with proper storage and transportation of weaponry. I mean, why else would he deem it such an important issue to bring up in comparing it to the M16. All we silly Americans want is a weapon that shoots accurratly and does the job of a weapon, we are so stupid...

[red5326]

use your sidearm.

[Dominique]

What type of weapon is it? Is it an ammo feed problem, are the sites off, is there a foreign object in the barrel, a dud round? lets be specific here. :bash:

[usa320]

I reckon he couldnt give a flying rats ass about guns or military affairs, all he is doing is trying to force his anti-american bull**** down everyone elses throat, only in a subtle manner, unfortunately his true agenda is quite obvious.

[James]

Walle,

U.S. ground combat units have dedicated armorers who are able to fix most things that might break. If they aren't able to, the soldier/Marine will be issued a replacement weapon.

"If an american soldier gets a problem with his weapon when on assignment, what does he do?"

He throws it on the ground and kicks your candied ass with his bare hands.

This is absolutely correct. Although, if it happens in the field it can present a bit of an uncomfortable problem. Still, it is a shame that these questions have to be asked in such a derogatory spirit. The Armalite models are ****e to problems when not kept clean, but most rifles are. The Armalites have just been historically more ****e to it. Still, the simple solution to this has been learned by our combat troops: clean your rifle and clean it often.

[James]

Absolutely. Preventative maintenance is the order of the day. When I was on active duty, we cleaned our weapons often, even wen we weren't in the field. THe armorers also did periodic checks to make sure the trigger was working properly, the chamber and bore weren't worn, the bolt, firing pin, and extractor were in good shape, etc.
