King Tiger, good work on this!

FN MAG (Mitrailleuse d'Appui General = General Purpose Machinegun) (M63A)= 7.62x52mm NATO

That's 7.62 x 51 NATO, aka .308 Win...The SR-25/D also uses that. These rifles are called Stoner .308's as well.

M60 uses it as well.

The SASR is the: Dragunov SVD -- this uses a 7.62 x 54.. A sniper variant of the 7.62 x 39 used in the AK/AKS series.
Except for the AK-74, which uses a 5.56 mm round (can't remember length).

I also thought the TA 12 gauge was a Benelli M3 Super 90 Tactical.


Most of these guns have civilianized (ie. semi auto) variants that are available for purchase in the U.S. Some are unchanged from their socom twins (like the HK Socom Mk23 or the Winchester 1300).

God bless our tenuously holding second amendment....

[[SS]Fight[r]]

Copywrite issues I think.

[[SMB] KingTiger]

Well I think it's a copyright issue. However, it's wierd how The Kalashnikov Family (AK-47, AK-105 etc.) doesn't seem to be Copyrighted.

Only weapon that I dont see on this list that I'm sure interests most people is the SP-10.

It took me about 3 hours to find any info on the weapon.

Gurza/Vektor (not to be confused with Groza)
SP-1, SP-10, SP-11

The weapon was developed to be accurate to at least 50 yards? (possibly feet, cant remember off the top of my head)

The round used is able to pierce 20-30 (different sites claim different numbers) layers of kevlar vests or 2.8mm of titanium.

The HK5,HK5SD, and HK5K are all manufactured by Heckler and Koch.

All use the 9x19 parabellum round.
