we might aswell do away with the 5,56mm (223) our armed forces use then and issue them all with 17hmr`s as the seem to kill everything in one shot from 100`s of yards away, we could save a packet in ammo costs aswell :laugh: :laugh:

Don't be so fecking daft.. :doh: Everyone knows .22LR ammo is a lot cheaper than .17 HMR.. ;):laugh:

 

Shouldn't joke about it really, if our armed forces budgets keep getting cut at the current rate they'll end up fighting the taliban with f*****g gat guns and G10 repeaters.. :(:laugh:

Shot the cheytac in Wales last year with solid copper bullets. Awesome bit of kit but the rifle itself looked a little busy.

The 5.56 is in effective in its current theatre in a lot of situations, as it just doesn't have the stopping ability on somebody that doesn't have the same thought process as westerners.

Hence the return of the 7.62 sharpshhoter LM7 and the HK 417.

They both awesome rifles with very little problems, as long as with any weapon you keep them clean.

it was always a fault thats why they never had the full auto version, cleaning it didnt make any difference even if you turned the gas regulator down to zero it still jammed in climates from norway to more sandy :laugh: but for stopping power in a general run of the mill personel weopen nothing came close :thumbs:
