US marines are switching to M27 rifles

The United States Marine Corps has announced the purchase of more than 50 new M000 IAR (Heckler & Koch 27) automatic rifles, reports Warspot with a link to thefirearmblog.com portal.

US marines are switching to M27 rifles


The letter of intent states that the Corps will purchase "50 M814 Infantry Automatic Rifles (IAR) from the German company Heckler & Koch."

"The notice of intent is not a tender, and the choice of model weapons made at the discretion of the government ", - stated in the documentation. However, other companies may also submit notices and offer their products.

“The M27 IAR is a Heckler & Koch 416 rifle modified for the US Marine Corps. Since 2010, this weapon has been purchased by the Marines as a replacement for the M249 machine gun. In the fall of 2016, the experimental Marine battalion received an experimental batch of these rifles for testing as a replacement for the M4 automatic carbine. In particular, a study was carried out whether the HK416 meets the requirements that were previously put forward for the M4 carbines. The new rifle has successfully passed all the tests, but had a considerable price - in the basic modification (without sight and other accessories) HK416 costs about $ 3000, ”the author of the article writes.

"Crash test" rifles HK416

It is reported that the main difference between the German automaton and the American model lies in the vapor system: the HK416 uses a short-stroke gas piston circuit, “borrowed” from the HK G36.

HK416 is made from 2004 year and has several modifications with different barrel lengths.

        Your policemen bought it from us very actively, so don’t star here, and no matter what the hole will be from Kalash or from this device with or without a collimator, it depends on the shooter's training.
        Someone from a sports sniper will miss, and wait for the Evenk and the broken-up carbine with a gross cartridge just in the eye.

        Shutter designs (and this is the most important thing in automatic weapons) came up with a million species. But only a few took root. The Germans, and indeed the Americans, did not come up with anything special in this area - all the wars they waged showed this, which is why they change machines like gloves at a construction site and steal ideas from around the world.
        And what you consider “embarrassing” - for you Americans - is still unattainable, and therefore you are opening pirate AK factories on your territory. Transforming AK into a weapon of the future is much easier than a beautiful machine gun from the Germans, because the platform is promising and indestructible, and inserting electronics is no longer a problem.

          AK pirate factories

          Is it pirated illegal? This is not true. The Russian Weapon Company (RWC) used to be an official importer of assault rifles in the United States, but after imposing sanctions, it simply stopped working with Kalashnikov and then introduced new AK-made models of its own production adapted to the local market. and that’s it.
          And the shelves in the arms stores are already packed to the brim with Bulgarian and Romanian clones, for which for some reason no one has filed lawsuits.
          About ordinary US soldiers with AK in their hands during the fighting can only be heard from Russian fairy tales (or from staged photos)
          I’m not even saying that it’s for the civilian market, it’s understandable. Or piece by piece for elite soldiers because of the prevalence of cartridges of this caliber in combat areas.
          Maybe the party will be sent to the Syrian rebels, everything is possible in their production. For the Syrians, this weapon will be like a native weapon. It will be easier to find and maintain it and spare parts

            On December 23, 2015, the American company Kalashnikov USA LLC filed an application for registration in the USA of the Kalashnikov trademark for classes related to weapons, ammunition, ammunition, repair and maintenance of weapons. On January 14, 2015, the same company filed an application for registration of a visual trademark in the form of the letter “K” in the USA, the basis of which is a curved vending machine shop.
            Such an image is the fruit of more than six months of work by the Apostol Center for Strategic Communications, which won the 40 millionth tender for brand development and other services for the Kalashnikov concern.
            Kalashnikov USA LLC is registered in the USA, in the “offshore” state of Delaware on 5 of January (the application for registration was filed on December 23 of 2014 of the year). In the Kalashnikov concern, Izvestia was told that they had nothing to do with the American company and were not connected with it at all: this new company was registered by RWC Group, the exclusive distributor of products of the Russian concern in the United States. Representatives of Kalashnikov USA and RWC did not respond to Izvestia’s requests. On January 20, RWC CEO Thomas McCrosin announced that he owns the American brand Kalashnikov and plans to launch the production of weapons under this brand in the second quarter of this year.
            As the Kalashnikov concern told Izvestia, the Russian company itself did not register the trademark in the United States - "due to anti-Russian sanctions, the process of registering a mark in the United States has been suspended."
            “If the Americans have patented the brand for themselves, they will be able to produce weapons under it, and the question of the similarity of the samples is not simple and difficult to prove,” said military expert Igor Korotchenko. - In this case, the concern needs to provide full protection to the Russian brand.
            According to sources close to the concern, in the 1970s
            technical documentation was received by the USA. As explained in the concern, to date, after the statute of limitations, they have lost legal force. However, according to experts, the United States can now use the technical documentation obtained in those years and independently upgrade weapons for its needs.
            RWC CEO Thomas McCrosin made a statement about setting up production in America at the world's largest arms exhibition Shot Show in Las Vegas. The impressive RWC Group booth with Kalashnikov’s weapons obtained prior to the imposition of sanctions was designed using the brand updated by the Apostle. According to the concern, the American company managed to use the new corporate identity when creating the stand in order to maintain identity with the weapons of the Russian manufacturer.
            The American company decided to create its own production because of the sanctions imposed in the United States last year and prohibiting the import of Russian weapons into this country. At the same time, the Russian concern in January 2014 signed a contract with RWC for the supply of small arms to the United States and Canada for a period of 5 years. The volume of exported weapons under this contract was to be from 80 thousand to 200 thousand items per year. At the same time, it was announced that 90% of the civilian weapons exported by the concern were delivered to the USA.

            About ordinary US soldiers with AK in their hands during the fighting can only be heard from Russian fairy tales (or from staged photos)
            When in the early 90s the American marines were transferred to Iraq, the cameraman and TV presenter, in my opinion of the Vremya program (Russian Federation, if anything), filmed the training of these same marines. In particular, they carried out firing at targets on the deck of an aircraft carrier. So one of them stuck M-16. It happens to everyone. Jammed and jammed. But here it stuck tightly, so that the soldier could not distort the bolt. And this is in sterile conditions, where there is not even a hint of any possibility of clogging weapons.
            When the operator asked what happened, he complained that it jammed and there is nothing he can do on the deck and will have to be repaired in the workshop. "But when I set foot on Iraqi land, I will definitely get a Russian AK." It was live and censorship did not manage to adjust the report (image after all). So there is no need for staged shots - realities correct the attitude to reality.

            It is worth recalling that all the successes of the American (in quotation marks of course) cosmonauts are connected with the period when the captured fascist engineers were alive. As soon as they left, something serious the Americans did not succeed. It turned out that even German technology has been lost. And the USSR possessed rocket technologies even before it received German first-hand laptops. The successes of the USSR are connected precisely with the fact that they were able to unite Soviet and German knowledge. The Germans in the USA bent their line and, as a result, came to a standstill.
            All attempts to change concepts have not led to anything new. Even Musk has returned to the old scheme.

You see, dear friend, the 223 Remington cartridge in its 5,56 NATO military incarnation was created on the basis of the quite good Benchrest 222 Remington, "finished for warriors." Only here is the news. This cartridge was not designed specifically for automatic weapons, IT'S A BOLT RIFLE CARTRIDGE. !!! Questions? The design of the cartridge itself is flawed and incorrect as well as the construction of the AR rifle according to the "precepts" of uncle Hugo Schmeiser. From there, my friend’s lid is .... from there, and not only her. What else do you have there? And yes, you change the batteries once a year ..... Where? In the tactical Teddy Bear's soft toy? ))) You’ll hold a rifle in the frost then on the street at least a day, and see how it lasts for you “year” ... And AKOG?

And here’s what I have to tell you. IT DOES NOT GIVE ANY BENEFITS. Without making shots, either more precisely or “faster.” Possessing normal vision and the skills of the shooter, it equally accurately and quickly hits targets at an effective distance with and without collimating sights. Even having shooting experience in US shooting ranges, I advise you not to forget the code that these are “ideal conditions” for weapons and that their work there is only partly indicative. The real test is dirt, water, sand and frost, rust from uncleaned gunpowder, and much more that weapons in shooting galleries never encounter. As they said "Kozma Prutkov" "Look at the root" ....

                In my opinion, Tavor is a step forward compared to the HK416.
                First: it is much more compact with the same barrel length
                and cartridge.
                Secondly: Tavor has a barrel and a pitatinny rail - one factory
                integral part. What provides the maximum possible parallelism
                barrel and sights. Hence the high accuracy.
                Default on Tabor is a collimator. Includes 4x Wide Angle Sight
                and night sight.
                Tavor's disadvantage: manufacturing complexity.

                        When you lie, you yourself see nothing: we have dry grass and large stones (you can get crushed stone from your own rebound into the eyes). When you stand, he is the target. From the knee, the store does not interfere.

Dirt, cold, frozen fingers, the machine is covered with a crust of ice - and a brave marine, heroically trying to disassemble the machine. Offset!

        This is what interested me - at the 28th second of the first video, a soldier lubricates the bolt (dripping from a nipple into a hole). Is this a necessity? It turns out that without lubrication the machine will not work. And if so, then it is necessary to seal the bolt frame very well, because if anything, then a dust cluster on plentiful grease is provided. And this is a delay in shooting and an increased risk of being helpless during the battle.

I like the fuel and ignition systems more, and they were wise with a gas pump, they could do a simple submersible car like on yap and Koreans but in another simplified to disgrace.

          The main thing is to look at the temperature-controlled mechanical valve on the air duct, you can "throw it out" in the summer, but in the winter there must be otherwise the throttle valve will freeze.

        Don't ... la ... la
        Before Rogozin arrived, our media and generals in the Moscow Region (before Shoigu) all said that the AEK-971 passed the tests ... More precisely, the factories should immediately present three types - the machine itself, the sniper rifle, and the machine gun ... so, then Degtyarev factory from Kovrov won in all respects! Moreover, Kalashnikov was not even allocated state funding for further tests due to overt loss, and was given time to develop fundamentally new ideas, but at his own expense!
        And as only Rogozin came, so immediately there was silence about Degtyarev! Generals from the Moscow Region were also fired, and AK immediately surfaced, all the same old as Mammoth! Only a little ergonomics added ...

          By the way, in Kazakhstan they considered the purchase of this machine, but your experts and the media did the anti-advertising.

            wassat bully And actually the party in the field didn’t have enough of your governors to try? bully We kind of landing for their specialists Kovrov ordered. But somehow .... annoying me is the presence of additional and rather fragile nodes in AEK. The machine is really for trained people. Kalash last in this regard is preferable to the infantry. But frankly, I just like Gryazev and Shipunov’s bun ... I just like everything. Well, A -91 / ADS. And the Baryshev Rifle under the Mosin cartridge, as well as its grenade launcher. The store would have to fix it somehow, under the tape and without.

              I don’t know if the Italians won’t be smart enough, they shoved 160 y. To Berret and bought a little more than 300 trunks. Although there is a desire for 20 thousand for the structures. But now there’s a lot of money that is being allocated for the purchase of aviation.

            AEK-971 is an excellent automatic machine. It does not need any advertising or anti-advertising! Normal fighters and their Commanders understand this, and they don’t give a damn about the corrupt Generals, and the corrupt Generals are apparently afraid of such fighters, because they can easily offer such Generals to fight in remote combat with their AK ...

            Therefore, in Russia, AEK-971 first began to enter the Vityaz detachment of the then internal troops, and now the 45th separate guard brigade of the special forces of the Kutuzov and Alexander Nevsky special forces ...

              So the purchase was planned not for combatant shooters, but for the forces of special forces.
              Another feature, if you start releasing weapons under 6.5X39, this will be a breakthrough.
              By the way, the cartridges with such a caliber were earlier in the union, for hunters. So there is experience, though it will be interesting which sleeve will be taken for the main one.

                  And we wanted to buy for competent fighters, although it is easier for the Kovrovites to organize production from us, the invested funds will be on deposit, wherever they want. Whatever they fly by, the main production and local ones. These are the conditions for all investors with us.

            This is not anti-advertising. This is a healthy criticism. Is AEK bad? “No, he's quite good.” - Is he good enough to replace them with 15 million Kalashnikovs (or at least one million in the regular army)? - No, the advantages of AEK are not so obvious, and the disadvantages are visible to the naked eye. That's just Kazakhstan and could buy a batch of a hundred thousand trunks for its quite a small army. It would not be worse.

        "We are waiting for weapons based on other principles" ///

        It is not a matter of other weapon principles.
        The point is in other sights. They improved radically.
        Previously, only snipers had any sophisticated optics (day and night).
        Today - every mediocre, seedy footman.
        Therefore, weapons must be improved (or developed from scratch) AT SIGHTS.
        To use their capabilities 100% WITHOUT SHOOTING and quick-detachable.

          14 August 2017 17: 24
          Specificity. Optics is not a panacea. And does not change tactics revolutionary, and does not give dominance on the battlefield. All the same, the infantry will be divided into ordinary shooters, "Marxman" and LMG, even if their weapons are of the same type, like a modular one, for each specific soldier. Small arms themselves reached the pinnacle of evolution. The widespread implementation of “intelligent” sights is still far away, but even they will increase the effectiveness of fire far from as high as some expect.

          Well, they’ve survived, now they’re developing weapons for the sight, it’s not easier to produce under the existing cartridge.
          By the way, I heard from a relative that you did Galil that under 5,56x45 for the variation of the AKS-74 U, you did it. In Mexico there are a lot of them, I really don't like them.
