Modern us infantry

Recommended Posts

I think the XM8 has a lot more "frills" - namely integrated sights and scopes (only need to zero your rifle once) minimal maintenance requirements, etc.

Not all US Army units have snipers attached to them so I am not surprised that some soldiers and their commanders took it upon themselves to equip their soldiers with captured weapons that fill that long range gap.  The only other weapon that does it is the M240 machine gun but that is a platoon level weapon so there aren't many of them.  

Actually, I think most units are starting to adopt a squad structure with a marksman instead of a rifleman in one fire team. Essentially this marksman will have an M-21 rifle with optics, but won't exactly be a sniper. I know the 82nd has used this squad structure in Afghanistan and I think the 101st had it in Iraq as well. I'm pretty sure it's been said that all other active duty units will adopt marksmen as they can afford it.

So should I make a rifle team/infantrymen with a m21 rock.gifrock.gif

why dont you ask INQ? about 98% of us agree his weapon textures are the best. some have a conspircy theroy about in game lag but ill belive it when i see it.

if u use INQs textures use his M14 textures for the M21. smile_o.gif

Um well INQ uses jpeg for textures that's why his looks so cool, we can do that too and I can make these infantry look kickas* if i use jpeg but it will kill lower end machines.

Also on the other point I'll add a marksmen and it can be up to the users integrety to choose the trooper for his, "her" or its missions

If you wanted a good M16A2 in the same style as Earl's other weapons, why not just use Suchey's old marine unit release

Or you could use the M16A2 that was included in the up-to-date MA Pack wink_o.gif

(reading the readme's always helps)

Hmm, yes, it says in the readme that theres a M16A2, but what is the class name?

Wow! They plan on resurecting the M-21rock.gif? I had thought that the US Navy SEALs were the only ones still using the M-21. Interesting.

From what I understand it's a nice rifle, but that it has some reliability problems and is difficult to maintain. I would think they'd use something like the PSG-9. But the decision may have also been influenced for political reasons in order to keep jobs going since the M-21 is made in America (although I'm surprised they're not outsourcing labor to Mexico and China now).

Anyhoo... well at least BIS made a good M-21 rifle. smile_o.gif

c8xm16a2

same magazines as the a4

I see...

But what about models with accessories? M203, acog, reflex etc. Those are only available on the M16A4...

And, what about a M240? You could use some model, but what about "Earl style" ironsights then?

M24?

Just my opinion

Just my opinion

There are several good M24's around already, including ones from TOW and a guy called Andraz Beravs, both of which are excellent. If I'm not mistaken it's the army that uses the M24 though - the USMC use the M40.

Yeah currently the US Army is using the interceptor vest. Only a few units are still using the older PASGT vest.

However if you plan on making US Army soldiers from the first Gulf War, then the PASGT vest would be the vest to make.

The Army uses the M16 A2 (ONLY) and the M4.

M16 A3 is not used by the US Armed forces (IIRC)

M16 A4 is used exclusively by the USMC.

And the M4 A1 is used by USSOCOM and its affiliates.

M4 is being used extensivly in Iraq because it retains the range and accuracy the M16 offers (to an extent) but because of its reduced length, it is better suited to Urban operations...

82nd Airborne, Armoured Corps etc are all using them in Iraq with the AN/PEQ-2 IR Pointer et al

as for the M16's - didnt know all the designations etc, cheers for that DM

There are Images of US Army personnel using the M-16A4 in Iraq.

Do you have any links to these images? Are you sure they were Army?

I have also seen pictures/video of 3rd ID soldiers using the M-16A4. You could probably look on Militaryphotos.net for these pictures, I'm just too lazy right now to find the pics and post them.
