Jesus, Remington’s been pretty busy over there, apparently. As if the Remington ACR (Adaptive Combat Rifle) and MSR (Modular Sniper Rifle) “leaked” promo videos aren’t enough, they’ve gone and produced and released/”leaked” another video for SHOT Show 2010, this one on the Remington M24E bolt-action “Sniper Weapon System [...]

On December 4th, 20009, DefenseReview published an article on the HK IAR (Infantry Automatic Rifle) candidate–a modified HK416 5.56mm assault rifle/carbine/SBR–winning a U.S. Marine Corps IAR contract.

Now, this is interesting. “The Korea Times” is reporting that some of the 350 South Korean troops deploying to Afghanistan (to protect 120 South Korean civilian reconstruction workers) will be armed with the Daewoo K11 semi-auto, mag-fed 20mm grenade launcher/select-fire 5.56×45mm NATO (5.56mm NATO) assault rifle [...]
