They will adopt the M4 because it's cheap and the French COS do so much of their training at Benning and Bragg anyways. At least they will have the same gun then.

France, I know you want to be a special snowflake (FAMAS is a meme gun btw) but just accept we make superior rifles already

VHS 2 is very advanced. Longest barrel, shortest overall length, castings expel on either side with no tools, can be fired with one hand because of weight distribution. It's got a lot going for it.

Personally, I think it would be best if the French army used rusty AKs because their recruits were raised on those anyway.

From personal experience the HK416 is pretty reliable, and the norwegian army has had to make one modification since they was delivered from factory.

The French would get a later version with certain modification for their use, and a pretty reliable weapon.

It's expensive though.

It's probably as effective as a lasgun, too

>>80155688
Fluff-wise lasguns are about as effective as modern firearms (covering the whole spectrum, too - they have a power setting, low it "non-lethal", standard is roughly equivalent to auto-guns (basically modern ARs), at max it's like .50 caliber but burns through the battery), while being more reliable and easy to produce. They're only "flashlights" when compared to bolters, pulse rifles, shootas etc.
>>

>>80155775
Walloons are essentially French, the differences between the two are smaller than the differences between you and the Flemish, and even then there's barely a distinction.
>>
AR-15
>>
>>80156259
They're also flashlights when used against anything other than shitty flak armour or bare flesh, excepting Space Marine skin of course
>>
>>80152822
I always thought bullpups were cool until I held one. The balance is shit compared to an AR. With all the weight in the back of the rifle it makes shouldering it awkward maneuver.
>>
>>80156742
I remember lasgun blowing and Ork's arm clean off in some source. It's not consistent, and well, they're effective enough in games, both TT and video ones. They're not worse then modern firearms (well, their accessories usually are, I guess).

it's not that lasguns are shit in 40k it's that everyone else's armor is so insanely durable you may as well be shining a flashlight at them

Bullpup guns, like the AUG and L85, are superior than your overrated M16s that couldn't do shit agains Peasants in Vietnam.

Nah, they're roughly equivalent to auto-guns. Remember, there were dark years of technological stagnation between our time and the 40k:

The SCAR-L in 5.56mm is not so much a POS as it is unremarkable for the price it commands. The SCAR-H in 7.62mm is where the platform really shines.
>>
>>80148925
Having spoken to a guy who is involved with doing ballistics and gun research for the French government. None of these are all that great for French needs. The reason being is that France still uses rifle grenades. This requires the guns to be much stronger than what would normally required. And none of these guns meet those requirements.
>>
>>80152743
Most of them use M4 though
>>
A-556 desu
>>
>>80148925
>no M4
>>
The M4 is honestly a fantastic firearm. In its current iteration, it is the least likely gun to have a catastrophic failure (require a specialist to fix). It was more likely to jam than one rifle the US tested (everyone assumes the HK), but jams can be cleared by soldiers in the field.
>>
hk416 easily. More reliable than M-4, same build. Also combat proven by multiple top special operations across the world.
>>
>>80166019
Ignoring the fact that an AR-15 bolt converted to short-stroke gas piston suffers from serious bolt tilt and thus needs quick replacement from heavy use. Not an issue with special forces which have the high budgets for these maintenance requirements, not so much for general service. In due time armies equipped with the HK416 are going to see maintenance costs rise up.
