Why do so many service rifles look like this nowadays?

Why do so many service rifles look like this nowadays? Did they just become aware of the SCAR like 20 years after it was invented? Why don't they just buy 416's are they stupid?

      Honestly believable. I guess they want something that's 90% an AR-15 and want it small without it being a bullpup.

      True, but it is trying to fill that exact niche.

    jokes aside, service rifles are simple enough that you can make them in your country and that's much cheaper given that they pay taxes to you, and better politically since more jobs in your country is good
    that doesn't work on stuff like jets though

    AR15's a pure cope, a cheap trash rifle for school shootings and hicks to believe that they're "minutemen" (with their cousin only) when any real police officer or soldiers would have them on their knees in seconds. Get a fucking reliable rifle, train past 300 yards of shooting accurately, and start walking 30 minutes everyday with a pack.

              Are you really going to pretend that much of the IDF doesnt still use the M4/M16? Cope harder. Shitty accuracy and shitty trigger, at least an AK does better with the latter.

              out of all the piston cope guns you chose one of the biggest commercial failures. piston is hilariously one of the best ways you can take an AR design and intentionally make it less reliable.

              I like how you were boasting about reliability but the only things you own are plain memes and steaming piles of shit. And your arguments are just copium. Consider bleach for your next beverage you subhuman.

                LMFAO and you were the one saying that I was spreading misinformation. Is Flotilla 13 a rear line unit? Also, why are you pretending that the IDF are the only ones in the desert? Decades of the U.S. operating in the middle east mean nothing? You bought the israelite bullpup because you have shit taste, not because there is any evidence that it is preferred or said to be more reliable by military units.
                >When did I say my C93 WAS a HK33? Uh never, THAT WAS THE WHOLE POINT.
                see post 11/10/23(Fri)12:59:34 referring to your century arms turd as an HK33, dumb fuck. Your century arms is a piece of shit, and century arms has the most egregious cases of terrible quality control rivaling the likes of Olight. And I quote, "Get a fucking reliable rifle". You failed to listen to your own advice, you inbred dipshit.
                >Or like a out of the box rifle that doesn't need an extra 200-500$ to actually work.
                PSA has been pumping out AR15s that are cheaper than your mini 14 dung rifle, and are a better host for optics and whatever accessories. Not to mention that the aftermarket shits all over the mini 14. The mini 14 is just cope gun for ban states, and Bill Ruger himself was an AWB advocate so that he could boost sales of that rifle. Cucked rifle for a cuck like yourself.

                Colt hasn't really done anything new or innovative in 30 years. All they had was their government contracts for M16/M4, and they don't even have that now. So all they can do is maybe make nostalgic ARs, 1911s, and bringing back their snake revolvers. CZ really doesn't have to do much with them. CZ also didn't mess with Dan Wesson when they bought it (aside from phasing out the revolvers). Colt Canada is another thing entirely.

        The XM8 beat the M4 in the dust test, and by a wide margin. I'm going to guess that newer AR18-derived rifles have only become better.

          Imagine repeating a verifiably flawed test as evidence against the M4.

          The sub human monkeys conducting the test didnt know how to use the 3 round burst function and counted every user induced malfunction.
          The early 2000s anti m4 sentiment was caused by the Army itself, both the famous flawed dust test and the bolt and barrel failures.

    retard grunts think the AK is reliable because it has a piston,
    so they asked for ARs with naggerrigged pistons. they're all a pound heavier just for the lolz.
    >plastic fucking hinge
    every single time. none of these are service grade if it breaks when i trip and fall on it.
    but then again, it's not hard to bend an AR buffer at the castle nut, either.

    so clearly we should just use bullpups, because the piston naggers will be satisfied and we can be foldy length 100% of the time.
    civilians hate them because muh trigger muh ergos bla bla bla but they don't matter so who gives a fuck?

    Because the SCAR is a smart design that is worth copying. There are other factors though, the Bren can be considered parallel to the SCAR program, they first drafted the specifications in 2005 when the SCAR was still using SAW grips. Perhaps thats the very reason the Bren doesnt use AR grips, because the SCAR didnt at the time the homework was copied. Another factor is carcinization, if you were going to modernize an AR18, youd give it an extruded aluminum upper, a flat toprail, a plastic lower and adjustable stock. Those are just the obvious features you would give it, and there are only so many ways to skin a cat. As a result, the japs upgrading thier AR18s settled on a very SCAR resembling rifle; as did H&K when they modernized the G36 with the HK433. The MSBS isnt a SCAR copy, its a shameless and embarrassing masada/ACR copy; which isnt exactly the same thing.
