Country:  | I still think the M-16 is more suitable, every soldier is trained to clean his rifle atleast once a day, and to keep the receiver clean and the barrel out of the mud, so if you can follow those rules closely, you wont have so many problems,
now at 300 yards away and i am at odds with an Ak weilding man, i have a better chance at hitting him with a double tap, that he has at hitting me with one round, im sorry but i want that type of accuracy, i also want light recoil, A LIGHT WEAPON,
and for those days i want to be stupid, i want to fire the weapon with the butt at my forehead
and the Ak cant give me that type of satisfaction

Country:  | BTW......is only for modern assault rifles? Would a MP44 fit in here?

| The MP-44 isn't competitive with any of the assault rifles above, it was the best small-arm ever to be made when it entered service in WW2 however.

Country: | Hussar, for those days when you want to be stupid reminds me of the first day on the 1000 inch range with the M1 Garand. NCO named Sgt Angel to prove an M1 couldn't hurt you held one to his groin and fired it subsequently to his stomach, his shoulder and to his chin. My recollection was that he did it one-handed. | |

Country: | Yep. Wouldn't feel pleasant, but they don't kick like a .30-06. I'd love to see a video of that M1. Certainly I'm sure there is some idiot that could do it. But don't try this at home kids.

Country: | I have a 30-06 among other rifles and fired the M1 all through basic and I don't know how he did it either. My memory may be faulty but I omitted he held it against his upper thigh also and squeezed off a round. Anyway I was impressed. Actually the Garand has a slightly less rambunctious recoil because of the gas operation versus a bolt action or in my case a lever action. | |

Country: | The thigh. The stomach. The chest. One handed Rambo style. But on the chin or nose. That I would love to see.

| Try shooting a K98k with full power milsurp ammo, the Garand's recoil feels like a soft pad to the shoulder by comparison.

| The .303 Lee Enfield's recoil isn't nearly as powerful, and neither is the M1903 Springfield's recoil, although I do agree they do give quite a kick.
A 198 gr bullet shoved to 785 m/s gives a big kick !
