What do you guys think of the RS556 rifle made by Rheinmetall

>>32620807
OP i have no thoughts what so ever on your rifle but I did have a question that I didnt want to start a new thread for.

Weapon lights. I mount my light under my muzzle. It doesnt cast a shadow, doesnt get any dirtier than anywhere else. Why do guys mount lights on the side? Ive never seen anyone except in movies with the light mounted under the barrel. What gives?

>>32620830
If the light is mounted to the right side of the rifle, it's pretty easy and comfortable to manipulate with your fingers. If it's under the barrel you might have to change your grip o operate it properly. Just my hypothesis.

>>32620863
I use a vertical grip. I actuate it with my knuckle, or if I actually have time I can just finger fuck it on. I only use on/off lights no strobe.

When will this meme die already

>>32620830
The theory is that you want your light to see what your barrel and your sights see. Which is why you mount it between them.

>>32620915
but mounting it under puts everything in a line.

It doesnt really matter, I was just curious why it seemed I was the only one doing this. Thanks for the input guys.

Here is my rifle without my gangsta grip for reference btw.

It does matter, and having it inline isn't really important. You want your light to be able to see what your sights can see and what your bullet can hit.

I am not talking about mounting it on the side either, I am talking about mounting it between the sights and the barrel. The make cantilever setups that bring the lights closer to your barrel.

Also don't forget about being able to use your rifle from cover and resting it on cover.

Try your setup in a class, and you will see why it is no longer a popular way to setup your gun.

>>32620959
They make rails that attach to the circles on the top of that hand guard. Regardless you are negatively effecting the harmonics on that barrel by hanging a light off of it.

When will the not being able to identify internal inline piston weapons meme die?

>>32620990
It hasn't affected my combat accuracy at all. I've never tried bench shooting so I have no idea if it's fucking with it on that level. I like my mount. Simple. Affective. Not stupid expensive.

>Mounting a light to a gun
It's like you want to get shot.

>>32620807
Well lets see

Pros:
>isnt made mostly of plastic
>doesn't have a fucking plastic trunion
>doesn't have the ridiculous carry handle
>much thicker barrel that wont loose accuracy past 200 meters when it heats up

Cons:
>Its a fucking piston AR
>Carrier tilt (probably)
>Bayonet lug on barrel

I'll say this, I'd much rather run into battle with the RS556 than a (((G36)))

When will this meme end?

>>32621187
>believing ((their)) lies about the G36
Whatever goy

>>32621222
As soon as they find a way to manage the heat issue.

>piston AR
You brought this upon us americlaps. All new service rifles from now until infantry is replaced by robots will be piston ARs. I hope you're happy.
>>32621187
Is the bayonet lug on the barrel a problem? Btw. german army doesn't even use bayonets, so it'll likely disappear from the end product.
