Top Ten Best Modern Rifles/SMG

The Top Ten
1 AK-47

There are over 90 million AK-47s in the world and counting. This is the Glock of rifles. You can do any thing to it and it will still work. The 600 rpm makes the rifle plenty controllable and accurate. The weapon is also very narrow unlike the m4 so it is very comfortable to hold. Lightness means easier target accusation and less fatigue when carrying on a ten mile hike. The extra power of the 7.62x39 cartridge, compared to the wimpy 5.56x45 give it a definite advantage. This also means that it does not loose power at long ranges (the 5.56 proved to be very disappointing when the US troops engaged in combat at ranges over 300 yards due to such a light bullet that looses it's velocity at long range and the cartridge depends on high velocity to incapacitate the enemy). The AK will hit pretty much what it is aimed at and will kill whatever it is aimed at. The US and NATO forces should abandon the 5.56 and change over to 7.62x39 in the AK-47.

This weapon is probably the most durable, cheap weapon on the modern market. It has proven time and time again, that in combat, you can drop it in mud, submerge it in water and get sand in the barrel but it still manages to work. The 7.62 by 39mm round does a great dealing of damage. Also, the rifle doesn't jam AT ALL! Even though this gun does have bad accuracy at long ranges, it does work well at medium and short ranges. But their are alteratives to the AK that work better depending on the situation... Druganov for long ranges, SKS, and AK47 for medium range, RPK for heavy firepower, and AK74u or AKS for short range. Any ways this weapon will not disappear from the battlefield for a very long time.

At least one side in every single war or conflict in the past 30-40 years has used Kalashnikovs. There's a very good reason for that. You walk through a swamp or swim across a river carrying it, the AK still works. It gets run over by a tank, the AK still works. You pour salt down the barrel and leave it for a week in a pool of stagnant water, the AK still works.

Its cheap because of its wooden parts and is pretty efficient. Is stronger than the M4. The AK variants are one of the most popular guns for a reason you know. It sacrifices accuracy for strength but in the hands of a pro that is not a big problem.

2 Heckler&Koch MP5

I absolutely love this weaponif you can't hit the target with this weapon you are a danger to yourself and others. As much as love this gun I can see it being fased out in the future for the p90 particularly in hostage rescue situations the mp5 has a tendancy to over penetrate although to be fair you should be using single shot when your clearing rooms. A note on the SAS for people who aren't aware of how they stand up compared to delta force navy seals and the like all special forces are based on the SAS the navy seals delta force were trained by the SAS or showed the ropes and navy seals and delta force took what they learned and adapted it to their needs so to answer the question of who has the best special forces the answer is simple were all on an equal footing now

Using hollow point 9mm bullets the mp5's damage is good yet controllable.
The 800 rpm is the perfect rof for just about anything.
It looks amazing.
Amazingly reliable.
It's the world's most elite team's weapon of choice.
It's supper accurate and versatile.

The mp5 is by far the most advanced smg. It is the SAS's weapon of choice. The mp5 rarely ever jams and is reliable in every way. The mp5 truly deserves to be the most deadly weapon

Good but you guys know there is an MP7 now right?

3 Kriss Vector .45

The ergonomics are weird and the rof is just plain wasteful. Plus the damage is horrible...

Amazing firepower and looks awesome, kicks a lot though.

This has to be the future of firearms

4 FN SCAR

This is the number 1 rifle in the real world. Ignore the Call of Duty fanboys who don't have trigger time behind weapons.

5 M4A1

Good accuracy and well balanced, the M4 is far better then all other guns in both accuracy and range although the damage isn't as great, accuracy is more important then damage.

Very reliable and a solid weapon system. Trusted all around the world and has evolved sience itwas first deleloped.

6 FN P90

Accurate low recoil, low pentatration good for hostages and such

Its accuracy is good witha red dot sight and has good magazine capacity (50 rnds) as a SMG

7 Barrett M107
8 Remington MSR
9 IMI Tavor TAR-21

Especially the micro version - x95(MTAR-21):
Supreme ergonomics and tiny length, without compromising accuracy, thanks to the bullpup design.

The main assault rifle of God's chosen people. Can't argue with that

Used by the most battle tested infantry.

10 Steyr AUG

The Steyr is a very effective weapon system. It has a bullbup design, making the shooter have more control and mobility. The barrel can be easily switched, and there are many barrel configurations that can be used. Many countries have adopted the rifle, including Australia. The Australians have adapted the Steyr in the F88 Austeyr, which is used in Afghanistan

The weapon itself is extremely practical due to the fact that it uses the "bullpup" design. Another great thing is that it has the option to switch out barrels if one overheats!

It's way better than the crappy AK-47, why the hell is it even on top of the AUG, it should seriously be first, M4 is too fast and unbalanced.

High accuracy, huge damage, smooth control, the best rifle ever.
And about Heckler&Koch MP5, it is not a rifle, it is SMG so why is it claasified here!

The Contenders
11 Knight's Armament M110
12 Heckler & Koch G36

Reiable, short, 5.56 a good round, can be fitted with a wide veraity of attachments, lightwiegth just around 7 to 5 pounds, sleek design, folding stock, ambidextrious for you leftys and ITS HK

13 IMI Galil (IDF Defender)

No doubts, the IMI Galil is your defender anyday, any time, anywhere.

Ak design, accurate 5.56 NATO, and very configurable. What's not to love?

14 QBZ-95

It has the reliability of AK-47 tested under extreme conditions and the accuracy of the M-16. It's the shortest and the lightest assault rifle in the world. It's 5.8mm outperform both the 5.56mm and 5.45mm. It has high penetration power but lower stopping power than the 5.56mm. It's disadvantages are the lack of Picatinny rail and the height of it's carrying handles makes the user expose its head...

15 Accuracy International Arctic Warfare

Fires the longest and is a good all round British sniper

16 M249 Squad Automatic Weapon

Best Machine gun ever, way better than the ak, FAMAS, and most of the guns on dis list

17 Spectre M4
18 Heckler & Koch UMP
19 M16

Very true this is why the us marines use it

20 Beretta PM12-S2
21 Uzi

Just the best for close up and friendly fire fights...

22 AK-12
23 Heckler & Koch MP7

Simple stopping power of assault rifle and as compact as an smg

Slightly excessive rof, low damage, and arguably weird feel. Great for cqb though.

24 M14

Combining the rugged Garand action with the considerable power of the 7.62x51 NATO round, the M14 is a relatively lightweight, accurate, and reliable firearm. First introduced in 1959, its numerous excellent characteristics have kept it in service until today, first as a battle rifle and subsequently as a squad sniper rifle. What more can you ask for in a rifle?

25 CZ Scorpion Evo 3 A1

I love czech guns.
