Overkill much?
I was kind of disappointed when I saw the M14 for the first time. What good are all those rails if you're not hanging $2000 worth of battery-operated crap from them?

"Slang" isn't an excuse for popular misconceptions.
It's like excusing the people that call a computer case a "CPU" and a monitor a "computer" by calling it slang.
A bullet is not a cartridge and a clip is not a magazine, period. It's not pedantry or nitpicking, it's just how it is. And it literally takes NO effort to call something what it is rather than to perpetuate ignorance by being habitually incorrect.

Dems fightin woids. I say we have a gorefast off on my server this Friday. First person to die does not win. Instead, the first person to die will lose. This should make things more interesting, I think.
P.S. - Bring your mags and your clips.

I am a former Marine as well. I served from 2000-2005. I am a Marine, but it would be more precise to say that I am a former Marine or a former active duty Marine if I want it made clear that I wasn't a reservist.
ex-Marines rape, pillage, and assassinate presidents. Marine is a title that is earned, but I can be taken from you in the eyes of those who really matter--other Marines.
The only time I hear of a murderer or rapist being referred to as a Marine is by the press because they like sensationalism and organizations falling from grace. We had two Marines get charged with attempted murder of an inoccent woman. They stopped being Marines at that instant. They are disowned ex-Marines. The title is gained and lost through actions. Period.
The other gentleman said that the avid gun nut living in the woods knows more than an average grunt about the internal mechanisms of his carbine. He is absolutely right. The grunt is not a gunsmith. The gun zealot in the woods may vary well be. He may also fill his rounds, know exactly when his rifling is worn out, etc. The grunt is trained on how to neutralize the enemy without getting himself or his team killed. He knows everything about his weapon that allows him to do this. Do you think an average NASCAR race driver would rebuild his own engine like a master machinist? No way.
However, his statement about only 100 rounds a year is complete shiii. While it may apply to Canada, it is not the case with Marine or Army grunts. I don't know where that even came from. It surely wasn't from a infantryman in this country (active duty).
Great dialog, though. You both had great points.
P.S.
The SCAR is fine the way it is. Maybe take the scope off and put it on the sniper's MBER14.

5.56x45mm NATO and 7.62x51mm NATO.
No problem, nothing a little Googling won't do as well.
Truer words have not been spoken.
I'd like the EBR to have a foregrip, some kind of peripheral and a torch (flashlight for you americans) attached, seeing as the EBR has a very TACTICOOL appearance.

Yes, god forbid a thread about guns have people who know about guns post. Thankfully we have your valuable contributions to balance it out...

You are debating guns in a game where grenades are less effective at killing things than xbow bolts.
Consistency gentlemen, consistency.

Oh god, such a shame
lol. you are right, a Cluster-F typo. Thanks. Shame a typo on a SEAL weapon makes a Marine loose all credability.
I would have loved to have even touch the EBR. It is weird they didn't put a scope on it for the snipers yet they did for the assault variant of the SCAR for the commando.

Absolutely. It almost makes it excusable when people who don't know better start dropping them like firecrackers on FF servers. Who would think that a mostly naked mutant standing in the kill radius would need more than one?

You can try to be cute, but the bottom line is that you and others that are making mountains out of molehills by others correct use of slang, are tilting at windmills. So have at it.
Methinks someone is making such a big deal about because they are trying to impress others. Let me break it to you gently... No one cares.
