I will not comment on if they use or not use the STG44 but this site also claims to be official and atleast to me seems to be more genuine

I would like to thank both of you guys for getting me flagged by Homeland Security for viewing those pages.

The AR-18 looks like a AK/AR Hybrid.

What I understand the AR-18 is better in it's construction then the AR-15 but it was developed too late.

It's also the rifle the British army was going to adopt when we had the ****ing brain wave of accepting the SA80. GG lads

The AR 18 was designed to be built in nations without the United States Manufacturing capabilities.

Look around, it's just a list of assault rifles from around the world.

Go to the pistols section, and you'll see everything from the C96 on up listed.

Kinda/sorta/not-really. The AR-18 is basically the AR-15 with a short-stroke piston gas system and a different recoil spring arrangement (no buffer tube, IIRC, so it can be fitted with folding stocks). The best AR-18-ish implementation out right now would be probably be the HK G36.

If I get "no-knocked," I don't doubt I'll win the initial gun fight.

They'll black bag you like those dudes in that movie! Don't say that!

Saying 'the words that make up the acronym HLS' is like saying Candleja

Difference between me and the people getting black-bagged in V:

I sleep with a loaded gun within reach, and another one ready to be loaded. And they'll need Class III or better to stop what's loaded in the pistol (gotta love that steel-jacketed FMJ Tokarev ammo) or a rifle plate for the other.

I guess it's fair to say that's a tad more effective than hiding under the bed



But in all seriousness, if I could use knives like that dude could I'd probably go on tour.

In all actuality a fair number of STG 44 or MP44 what ever you want to call them ended up being purchased by Israel in their quest for weapons in the late 40's. Since then they are long gone from the IDF inventory but some examples still crop up in the middle east (Iraq, Iran, Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, etc..) and they always have the hebrew writing on them when they were re-arsenaled.
