best looking gun?

Actually, the armourers of the British Army, and the Squaddies seem to have a wonderful habbit of hiding away guns after they've been made 'obsolete', and 'finding' them when they're required.good point i suppposes, support in a different way, mind you we have the minimi's insteat of gimpy's now...... oh dear..... 5.56..... sigh
Case in point -
After Korea, the British forces were supposed to get rid of the Browning 50.Cal. Fast-forwards to the Falklands, and suddenly the land forces are being supported by these mythical, strange weapons, mounted on tri-pods that looked oddly like the 50.Cals we'd scrapped 25 years earlier...
The same goes for the Gimpy. '91 they suddenly re-emerged from unit armouries to fight in the Gulf, and the same has happened in Afghanistan. Look at film of Squaddies on patrol in Afghanistan, and you'll see quite a few Gimpies.

haha doubtful he just obsessed with the british army 
Hahaha, I wish I was.
I'm just very interested in history, politics, and military studies. I've written a few things on certain military history things. My specialist subject is armour, tanks of the 1940s to present day.
I'm taking a War Studies or Defence Studies course at uni next year (either Kings or Kent).
I also come from a family with quite a few serving members, and know quite a few current and ex forces through my Dad.
Means I know a fair bit. I read a lot of magazines and books on history, and military stuff. Through that and conversations means I know stuff. Someone once called me the Stephen Fry of firearms (which, is hilarious since I slightly resemble him :lol: )

Totally with you on that one
Also, having owned a crappy G36 I was put off by them, but I'm willing to give them a chance.
Why does everybody hate M4's? I love 'em! I just got a G&G GR16 for my birthday and it is the hottest looking gun in the world (this is a fact).

They are over used, everyone and their grandma has one and they all look exactly the same:every attachment possible on the rail including cupholder, coat hanger and kitchen sink OR fagpul'd to death, whixh reminds me I have a stock to replace.....
I agree, I'm not a big fan of all the attachments, lasers, torches etc... I like mine to look clean and simple.
But the point you made about 'everyone' having them is no reason to not like the way they look, which is what this thread is about.
