Home Forums Miscellaneous Topics Military The best infantry rifle

While the Russian 5.45 x 39 AN-94 has not been proven in battle, the Russians have tested it pretty thoroughly. Lack of money is the only reason that I've read or heard for the Russians' failure to mass-produce their new assault rifle and make it general issue. So at least one significant set of armed forces has decided what its future rifle is (some have been issued) and what it will be (lots of troops are still carrying the AK-74). I've read very little about the new Chinese assault rifle and its new small bore, high velocity round. Does anybody know enough to comment on these weapons? Russia and China are serious players, so I assume each has made a reasonable choice for a wide range of applications.
