We should start making Mausers again and use them to replace the M16. Chamber them in 7x64 Brenneke and fit them with modern triggers.
>>32977762
Abloo abloo so /k/ le epic idea
>>32977762
Why not the SMLE?
Better action, more accurate, ten round magazine and not five.
Just not the 03 Springfield. That has to be the fourth worst general issue metallic cartridge repeating Milatary rifle of the last one hundred and fifty years.
>>32977762
>replace modern assault rifle with meme
>get rekt in combat
Pick two
>>32978348
Why the hate for the 03 springfield? I thought it was an accurate/decent gun.
>>32977762
Why no K11? Better than any mauser 98 system
>>32979640
It is, better than any German Mauser certainly.
>>32977762
Or just use the M40 in .308 and save a lot of production costs

>We should start making Mausers again
But desu, the company Mauser still exists and they are shitting out rifles like there is no tomorrow.
>>32978348
>Smle
>Better action than Mauser
Um, no.
>>32981980
Pretty sure they also still make the m98. Albeit not in military configuration, but still am m98. Also no one on /k/ can afford them.
>>32977762
Can we have a mauser action but somehow make the bolt bent/location in such a way that it can be fired like the enfield for le ebic mad minute may may?
we should use modernized stuka bombers for CAS though for sure, siren and all
>>32982001
The M12 starts at 1600€ that's not unobtanium, sure the M98 can easily reach a 5digit price, but it's a high quality hunting rifle that your grandchildren and their children will still be shooting
>>32982163
Oh yis, a Ju87 with a GAU-8 instead of the 20mm canons
>>32977762
No we should not.
>>32977762
Great idea, because they would be practically the same with new ammo and triggers. Fuckin idiot.
>>32977762
The correct answer OP was to chamber them in 7.92x33. Not some retard hunting round
why dont we just make an automatic bolt action? then you'd have the accuracy of a bolt action but the fire rate of an assault rifle
ex de de de
>>32977762
Or we could realize it's actually not 1930 anymore and semi-auto rifles are completely superior.

>replace the select fire 30 round service rifle with a 120 year old bolt action
>chamber it in a cartridge that's weak and inaccurate for an intermediate, let alone full power rifle round
Kinda defeats the purpose doesn't it
>>32986480
>m16
>still select fire
>>32978348
The Lee-Enfield's action actually wasn't very strong
Even the Mosin has a stronger action
>>32977762
>7x64 Brenneke
faggot, the perfect cartridge already exists and its called 7.5 Swiss
