Oh but Taliban are fighting with decades old weapons so who come Yankees failed to do so with the most modern rifles ?
Jana I don't believe any here has said the AK-47 wasn't a good weapon. The M4 currently in use is a good weapon as well. just not well suited for the terrain of Afghanistan. And actually it isn't the weapon but the weapon caliber. The FN Scar will address this issue as far as special operation forces go. The rest of the army will have to navigate the political aspects of the procurement process to get them. We will see how that goes. My guess is they will get them.
On a side note one of my brothers has an M4 style AR-15 that is made to fire the 7.62 x 39mm ammo.

Well this isn't being effective for them in Afghanistan isn't it? I didn't mean a complete change for their entire armed forces. But at least those regiments that are specifically trained for Afghanistan's terrain.5.56 served the Americans well in Iraq, in Afg the engagement ranges are much more longer. 5.56 was adopted by NATO counteries with the Soviet Threat in mind and for MOUT in the Europian theater. I dont think Americans will change caliber, in terms of logistics they can organise and bear the costs of using both 5.56*45 and 7.62*51.
Which caliber will the US SF guys use for FN SCAR (7.62x39 or 7.62x51)?
You very much misunderstood my post, Pakistan Nationalist...@jackal.......ur doing the same wat the americans r doin.
