Ok guys, been thinking of this question since I read the article on the Dutch Biker group who have managed to send a few members to Iraq to fight ISIS. (Link below in case you haven't read it.) In a few articles I've read they mention they are with their AK's helping the Kurds.
So lets play Rambo here boys. What rifle would you take if you were gonna pack up and head over there. For our armed forces who are actually doing this, God Bless You and I do not mean any disrespect to you by talking about this. You are braver men than a lot of us. But for us who are computer warriors, lets chat it out. The parameters are:
1. Lets assume you could buy guns at the prices the gov't would buy at (because eventually you'd know a guy who knows a guy
)
2. It can be a rifle you went to the LGS and pick up on your way out or something unique and hard to find.
3. Lets not start posting how you'd take a B-2 with a nuke and win the whole war (why do those guys always seem to show up?
)
If I were to head out, Id really be wanting something in 30 cal. Id have a hard time not taking something along the lines of the SIG716 patrol or the like. Its black, its beautiful, and it shoots .308. What more could you ask for? And as a sidearm I'd probably load out with a G17 or HK USP.
So there you have it. Not really many limitations on what you could choose, so have at it boys.
Also, we can discuss this too. Would we, or the dutch bikers, be bound by the Geneva Convention and not be allowed to use expanding projectiles? Even with that a law, I would be hard pressed not to use hallow points agains ISIS. It could also affect the caliber I would be willing to use.
