Bout a foot longer, just under 5 foot.

also, on Ravenshield my favorite guns are the L851, the FAMAS G2, and the G36K... are they real guns that are actually used today?  or are they 1) made up names or 2) guns that are hardly ever used or known?

All real, G36 is in service with the german army, K is the carbine version, not sure if its in service with anyone. Famas is french, again not sure if the g2 version in actually in service with them. L85A1 is the british standard rifle, they use an A2 version now because the A1 was a pile of ****e. Did they model the way the trigger keeps falling off in ravenshield?

Looks like a GPMG or a SAW. I see something similar everyday in our stores here.

In your stores? These things can be bought in stores at your place?

yeah l85a1 i meant, thanks  wow you know your stuff! in ravenshield the l85a1 with a silencer is probably the most used gun... a few others i use are the FNC, the TAR-21 (badass for short distances... i like), the AUG, and my favorite pistols would be the mk21 and desert eagle .357

The FAMAS is the standard gun in French military service.

Also, the XM8 is indeed going to replace the M16, I think in or around 2007-2008. The OICW's development is basically paused indefinately, as the guns are way too expensive to make as of right now. When tech improves, we'll probably get it, but as it stands, the gun is actually about 16-28 pounds (something like that.

Little tidbit: The XM8 is actually the assault rifle component of the OICW.

which is itself just a modification of the G36, probably one of the best, if not the best assult rifle in the world.

gotta love them Germans, if there's one thing they know its guns.

While I don't know about the statement about the G36, the XM8 ( I believe it will be M8 in service) is indeed a modification of the G36.


The best thing about the new XM8 is that one gun can be modified into a submachine gun, an assault rifle (standard), a SAW-type weapon, a sniper rifle, and a grenade launcher, all without tools.

AH, THAT gun is the XM8. Looks like it could be interesting, though ugly.

[Unknown Target]

Why does everyone think the OICW is ugly? I think it's very good looking, and much better than the big, blocky M-16.

Because it looks a bit like a stubby SMG with a bunch of plastic stuck on to make it look all 'sci-fi' and 'chunky', I guess.
