Assault Rifles:
M16A4:
The M16A4, now standard issue for front-line U.S. Marine Corps and some U.S. Army units, replaces the combination fixed carry handle/rear iron sight with a MIL-STD-1913 Picatinny rail, allowing for the rifle to be equipped with a carry handle and/or most military and consumer scopes or sighting systems. Most of the U.S. Marine Corps' M16A4s are equipped with a Knight's Armament Company M5 RAS handguard, allowing vertical grips, lasers, tactical lights, and other accessories to be attached. U.S. Army M16A4s also often feature the KAC M5 RAS. In U.S. Army Field Manuals, M16A4s fitted with the RAS are sometimes referred to as M16A4 MWS or Modular Weapon System. This model retains the 3-round burst mode of the M16A2.
AK-47:
The AK-47 (short for Russian: Автомат Калашникова образца 1947 года; Kalashnikov model automatic rifle of 1947) is a gas operated assault rifle which was used in most Eastern bloc countries during the Cold War.
Adopted and standardized in 1947, it was designed by Mikhail Kalashnikov and originally produced by Soviet manufacturer Izhevsk Mechanical Works. Compared with most auto-loading rifles of World War II, the AK-47 is compact, of comparative range, moderate power, and capable of selective fire. It was one of the first true assault rifles and, due to its durability and ease of use, remains the most widely used assault rifle. More AK-type rifles have been produced than any other assault rifle type
M4 Carbine:
The M4 Carbine is a family of firearms tracing its lineage back to earlier carbine versions of the M16, all based on the original AR-15 made by ArmaLite. It is a shorter and lighter version of the M16A2 assault rifle, achieving 80% parts commonality with the M16A2. The M4 has selective fire options including semi-automatic and three-round burst (like the M16A2), while the M4A1 has a "full auto" option in place of the three-round burst.
G3:
The G3 Automatic Rifle, standard bearer of the Deutsche Bundeswehr since Germany was again allowed to arm. It is truly the firearm that put the fledgling arms maker on the map. Just up the hill from famed gun maker, Mauser, the former Mauser engineers worked as a team to come up with a design that would supercede the G1, essentially an FN FAL rifle, since Fabrique Nationale in Belgium would not license Germany to produce it. The wounds of World War II were still deep and open at the time, only five years after the end of the war.
G36c:
The G36 is a German 5.56 mm assault rifle, designed in the early 1990s by a team of engineers from Heckler & Koch GmbH (HK) and accepted into service with the German Army in 1995, replacing the 7.62 mm G3 automatic rifle.
M14:
The M14 rifle (more formally the United States Rifle, Caliber 7.62 mm, M14) is an American selective fire battle rifle firing 7.62x51mm NATO ammunition. Although largely superseded in military use by the M16 rifle, it remains in limited front line service with the United States Army, Marine Corps, and Navy. The M14 also provides the basis for the M21 and XM25 sniper rifles (not to be confused with the XM25 grenade launcher).
MP44:
Sturmgewehr 44 (StG44) was an assault rifle developed in Nazi Germany during World War II and was the first of its kind to see major deployment. It is also known by the designations Maschinenpistole 43, Maschinenpistole 44 (MP43 and MP44, respectively) which denotes earlier versions of the same weapon
Sub Machine Guns
MP5:
It is simply an opinion, but one shared by the majority of tactical teams at all levels in the United States. You can sense it the first time that you fire one. The MP5 is the culmination of countless efforts to blend reliability, controllability and firepower into a small package. With the MP5, that design objective has been achieved. The MP5 is that by which all other designs are judged.
Appearing in countless movies of late, it does not have the catchy name of some guns that have been demonized by the press and some politicians, who quake in fear at the mere mention of names like 'Uzi' or 'Tec 9' or 'MAC 10.' Your average street criminal might not know what to call the greatest submachine gun ever designed. Chances are, if you laid one down next to a Tec 9 and asked the criminal to choose one, he might opt for the Tec. So much for good taste. There are many photographs of the MP5. I will share some of my favorites with you here. Just for the record, many published articles designate the MP5 as thus: "MP-5." Not correct. There is no hyphen.
Skorpion:
The Scorpion submachine gun is an interesting little weapon which is somewhat hard to classify - is it a machine pistol (a full-automatic weapon for single-hand fire) or a submachine gun (also an automatic weapon, but for shoulder fire). Either way, there are pros and cons. Nevertheless, this weapon deserved its place in history of firearms. Its development was initiated in late 1950s, with intent to provide various non-infantry units with lightweight personal defense weapon that is more effective than a pistol, but is no more obtrusive. Another niche for Scorpion was use by various special forces, because the selected cartridge, known as 7,65x17 Browning / .32 ACP can be easily silenced. First prototypes of a new weapon were built in 1959, and official adoption followed in 1961, under designation of "Samopal Vzor 1961" (submachine gun model of 1961), or SA Vz.61 in short. This weapon was issued to various units in Czechoslovak army, and also widely exported. Licensed version of the Scorpion was produced in Yugoslavia, where it was widely issued as an military officer's sidearm. At least few Scorpions found its way to the hands of various terrorist groups, which favored it for its small size and ease of silencing. It also can be easily fired singe-handedly, like most pistols.
Mini-Uzi:
The UZI submachine gun was developed in Israel by designer Uziel Gal in around 1949, and manufactured by IMI (now IWI Ltd) since about 1951. UZI had been adopted by police and military of more than 90 countries, including Israel (now only in reserve), Germany, Belgium. It was also produced under license in Belgium by FN Herstal, and without license - in Croatia. More compact versions, Mini and Micro UZI, which were developed in 1982 and 1983, respectively, are adopted by many police, special operations and security units around the world, including Israeli Isayeret, US Secret Service etc.
An interesting question is the ancestry of the design of Uzi submachine gun. Most sources state that it was inspired by the Czechoslovak SA 23 submachine gun, which also had magazine in pistol grip and wrap-around bolt. This submachine gun was adopted in 1948, with production commencing in 1949. There are some doubts that it could reach the shores of Israel the same year it was born. On the other hand, British army tested several prototype weapons of the same basic layout as early as 1944 (see MCEM-2), and it is possible that Uziel Gal had learned about this layout from UK. It is also possible that he "invented" this layout on his own - after all, the very same basic layout has been used in semi-automatic pistols for a good 50 years.
AK-74u:
The AKS-74U is a compact assault rifle, sometimes classified as a sub-machine gun with a folding stock and a shortened barrel that was produced in the Soviet Union from the 1980s to 1991. It was designed to be used by Pilots, Tank Crews and other echelons of the Soviet Army where a full-sized rifle was impractical for defense. In this regard, it is analogous to the German MP5. The AKS-74U fires a 5.45x39MM round, the same as the AK-74 from which it is derived. The AKS-74U is still a frontline weapon in Russia and it is still used by other former Eastern Bloc countries, as well as Soviet-Affiliated states. It is also used by Insurgent groups, although a rarity. The most infamous example of the later is Osama bin Laden, as one is frequently seen with or around the Al-Queda leader in his video addresses. Nicknames for the AKS-74U include Krinkov in English speaking countries and Ksyusha in Russian-speaking countries.
