somehow i just think Full leght AssaultRifle didnt work well in both CQB and Jungle enfirontment. Except you go for bayonet charge.2013 Garuda Shield. Somehow I got the feeling most of you has never watched this documentary video
There is nothing wrong with 16" barrel length. In fact, it's just "right", it's not too short nor does it's too long. Having shorter barrel mean compromising performance for longer range engagement. It's all came down to the CQB training.somehow i just think Full leght AssaultRifle didnt work well in both CQB and Jungle enfirontment. Except you go for bayonet charge.
I just think SS2 V5 for KOMCAD is a perfect gun for above condition.
Didn't you think short of same stuff ?
Honestly , i beg to differ on some of your point . While i do agree that relying on a sole suplier was beyond ridiculous . There is still a big merits when it come to a standarized consumable items . A compromising approach would be for an every item listed we are sourcing them from a 3 reliable suplier ( minimum ) . With their yearly PO's quota based on their last year satisfaction rating . So we could create a healthy controlled competition because everybody surely eager to get a bigger pies cut in the next year .
If it come to a peer to peer enggagement those 90 mm surely inadequated . But , we are still in the transition mode here .... And thing still required some time to make doctrins and paradigms to catch and latched on ...
For such a low intensity conflict like a papua and poso even those 90 mm were allready considered as an overkill.....
Is it true in nowadays skirmish the engagement range vary from 100 to 300 m ? But, perhaps it's only occur in open fields. Yet in tropical environtment i will occur in less than 100 m.There is nothing wrong with 16" barrel length. In fact, it's just "right", it's not too short nor does it's too long.

There is still a need for bayonet. In fact, I was told that US force in a-stan do use bayonet for CQB pretty often. The main reason for this is to maintain distance when their weapon jammed or when the shot failed to stop them (lack of stopping power), or a simple case of running out of ammo.
for SS2 V1 it is a long gun with it 18" barrel but for me the perfect length is SS2 V2 16" it not too long but not to short, also it didn't help than they use fix stock instead collapsible.somehow i just think Full leght AssaultRifle didnt work well in both CQB and Jungle enfirontment.

i think it was british not US, i rarely seen US forces with bayonet (footage and picture) in afghan, they at that time started to think about dropping bayonet assault/training at all (which they did) but i seen a lot of britsh forces with bayonet, especially in the early days of afghan.I was told that US force in a-stan do use bayonet for CQB pretty often.

In mountainous terrain, engagement range is typically over 100m, while in non-mountainous jungle (such as those in Celebes) engagement range is under 100m. Although, for hunting excursion in Indonesia, typical range has always under 100m. I usually take down critter such as at around 40mIs it true in nowadays skirmish the engagement range vary from 100 to 300 m ? But, perhaps it's only occur in open fields.

You mean this little guy hereBut im kinda curious tho, why US SOG back then in vietnam armed with shorter AR 15 (around 10" if my braind serve me well) rather use standard M16 (if 16" barrel is kind of do the job?
They using it with 14" M4. The idea is the bayonet serve as last ditch weapon when shit happen (and they always happen)I think i know there's need differnent tool for different job like CQB stuff. Wait wait, does US person that tell you to use Bayonet in CQB stand also use 16" barrel AsssaultRifle?
From what I as told it seem the guys mimic practice (as they usually did). It's not official SOP thoughi think it was british not US, i rarely seen US forces with bayonet (footage and picture) in afghan, they at that time started to think about dropping bayonet assault/training at all (which they did) but i seen a lot of britsh forces with bayonet, especially in the early days of afghan.
