The USA's M4 Carbine Controversy
[Copy link]
|
|
|
Readers may recall "2006 Carbine Competition: What Happened, Revealed" back in February 2007. It discussed an Army solicitation for competitive procurement of 5.56mm carbines, which was withdrawn once the primary manufacturer Colt dropped its prices. The DoD's Inspector General got involved, and the Army dissented, defending its practices as a sound negotiating approach that saved the taxpayer a lot of money on the contract. As it turns out, there's a sequel. A major sequel.
It seemed like a routine request. Order more M4 carbines for US forces in the pending FY 2007 supplemental, FY 2008 budget, and FY 2008 supplemental funding bills. It has turned into anything but a routine exercise, however |

Apa masalah M4 carbine ni...betul ke senang jam bila digunakan di kawasan gurun berpasir mcm di Timur Tengah??
Malaysia pulak baru je nak decommission Steyr dan ganti dgn M4 carbine ni.Alasannya ialah boleh dipasang dengan pelbagai kits, mudah dikendali serta tepat utk engagement dalam jarak 300 meter manakala Steyr mudah jam dan panas bila ditembak full auto. |

Mcm tu ler lebih kurang, walaupun aku nie tak berapa arif sangat tapi M4 nie sensitif sikit. Masa us dari perang teluk yg 1st lagi dah ada masalah nie so us ader serahkan kepada 1 syarikat jerman bt modifikasi M4 dan terhasilah H&K 416. model nie diorang siap test tanam dlm lupur la n mcm lagi masih lagi ok ..tembak ngan mod ful auto pun masih okey. Dlm tahun nie H&K ader bt demo kat mesia .. Kalau aku ader silap info sesiaper tolong betoi kan aku eik .... |

HK XM-8 kan........?
XM-8 ni bukan PDRM ke yg dah test drive? Ada terbaca dalam Tempur pasal XM-8 diujinilai oleh PDRM bukan Army. Army dah setuju nak angkat 20k pucuk M4. (pucuk??)  Anyway..nanti aku check balik Tempur... |

Forget it with the SS2, why should we support them. They have never supported us. Choose weapons based on needs and performance. For instance, not every abu, atan and ali needs to be carrying a brand spanking new M4 type carbine with laser illuminator. A Vehicle mechanic can get by with the old M-16, or Styer. It seems to me logic and rationale acquisition is beyond us. |

Agreed. I also agree with what CW had said earlier. |

No it's not Sg webbing CW, i know it looks like the Ephod copy they had used earlier before the intro of the new vest. The badge gave it away huh? (AARM) hehehe |
