[smash]

^^^ It's real

The bottom bit is a 5.56mm rifle and the top bit is a 20mm cannon with a laser rangefinder that can be used to airburst the 20mm shell.

 

[manny78]

this is the OICW right ? Sounds like the bottom weapon is a M-16 or something similar....

Yeah it pretty much is, its the grenade launching system thats selling it.

 

[bouncer]

Yep Manny it's a Steyr I'm using. It's our standard infantry weapon here in Ireland.
The tank was abandoned by the IDF/SLA on their retreat from South Lebanon. The Isreali's captured a shite load of these during their numberous war's in the middle east and pressed them into service.

SEE THAT OICW?



I OWN ALOT OF STOCK IN ITS PRODUCER....


BY 2009 ALL THE US ARMY IS GOING TO BE EQUIPPED WITH THOSE.



ALLIANT TECH.

 

[manny78]

The bottom gun in the OICW is a Heckler Koch G36K with a 20 mm gun over (6 shots mag).

Bouncer: how is the Steyr ? Never tried it but looks pretty cool. I've only used the M4 (mostly), M-16 and AK-74.....

Manny the Steyr is the best weapon I've ever used. I've used it in competition against almost every other well know infantry weapon and it's beaten them all.
It has a 1x5 optical sight, which doesn't sound much. But has the advantage of minimal image shake, plus the user's can fire with both eye's open !, giving a wider field of vision.
The Irish army is using it in such environments as Somalia (a few years ago) [hot and dusty]. The Balkans in both summer and winter, their winters are extreme. And it's currently proving it's worth with our forces in East Timor.
I could'nt think of another rifle I'd like to replace it with. I'm going on exercise next week, including a live fire exercise and I'll have the digicam with me. I'll post some pix of it in action if your interested.
