The Lyrics

During WW2 the US was behind severely in small arms and initially relied on old Springfield rifles until the M1 arrived and the Carbine version. But they came across the German assault rifles after D-Day and marveled at the STG-44 which also became the basis for the postwar Soviet AK-47 (of which over 60 million copies can be found all over the earth). Now in 2013, the Iraq and Afghan Wars proved that the Colt M4 is a POS and that US troops wanted the German XM8 which was basically a HK G-36 built to US specs and in conjunction with ATK. It was going to win the ACR competition but for a third time Congress halted it and bailed-out Colt again in 2006. HK angrily responded with the 5.56mm HK-416 and the 7.62mm HK-417 which are used with US SFs along with the Belgian FN(H) SCAR. SOCOM forces use German HK SOCOM .45 pistols, HK UMP 45 SMGs, HK P-11 underwater pistols, and HK MP-5s (of many configuations). Rheinmetall AG has been working on a new plasma rifle since 2003...
[World War II]

Ask any GI
you happen to see,
What's the best rifle?
German STG (44)

Even the Russians
did not disagree
Made their new rifle
The AK copy!!!

[Now]

Ask any soldier
you happen to see,
What's the best rifle?
HK 416

Colt's M4 burden:
mediocrity,
SFs use foreign:
SOCOM family

STG= Sturmgewehr or Assault Rifle (personally named by Hitler himself in WW2)

The AR-15 variants are making a comeback at the gun shows. Ammo is still $15 a box. Lots of 30 round magazines on the store shelves. Without ammo to fill them, the demand has fallen. Knew a Vietnam veteran who hated the M-16. Another VN veteran (ARVN) tells me he preferred the M2 Carbine. You could carry a lot more ammo for one of those than an AR or AK variant. AK just feels clumsy in my hands, the Carbine balances better. But, for the moment, there is plenty of AK ammo around, mostly Russian steel cased stuff. Most shooters turn up their noses as steel cased .223.

No "railed rip-offs" for me! I always prefer an AK series to AR and just put back the pieces of flash suppressor, AKM bayonet, a 30 mag and 75 rd drum, pistol grip, and can convert back over to FA. Add a scope and a bipod and good to go... just heavy. Ultra low maint. and reliable for lifetime. Am curious about the Nikonov AN-94 that is replacing it, slowly. Looks bad-ass and mean. But is 5.45mm.
