^ Because the 553 never jams while the AR does choke every now and then. The 553 is also much smaller folded up. That and its way more awesome

Now now, the HK products and a few high quality guns / makes like KAC ect are pretty good too.

This thread is still going? They didn't shut down the plant completely, they just downsize it, chances are when they get another government contract they will ramp up the plant again. as long I can remember SA prices have been creeping up almost every other year, so shouldn't be a big surprise to anybody.

Wait a minute. I thought AR's were just as good? What's with all of these elite units using SIG 550 variants?

Many of those elite units named also field AR's and probably in larger numbers.

It seems crazy because the notion of Toyota's factory floor having no "normal Japanese citizens" and sweeping statements like "Japanese cars manufactured in country are built by BRAZILIANS" is kinda crazy. I've no doubt that there are south americans working in japan, but instead of reading about it on the internets, talk to people who are in those Toyota factories on a regular basis and you will see what I mean.
Trying to make an analogy between the seasonal agricultural industry in Ontario and the automotive industry in Japan is kind of like comparing apples to oranges.

Toyohashi-shi in Aichi-ken prefecture is the largest and "main" import/export port for the auto industry in Japan. Go down to the docks and you will see Honda, Toyota, Mercedes, BMW (and nearly every other auto manufacturer) with their signage at their respective ports. On the south west side of the bay is the Tahara-town Toyota plant. Go down there - factory tours every Monday to Friday (except holidays). You'll have to book ahead of time, but I don't think they take any groups numbering less than 10 people, though that may have changed. Lived in Toyohashi for 18 months before moving north to Takikawa-shi on Hokkaido.

FTR I did talk to the Japanese workers from those factories on a regular basis - I was teaching them English 1-3 times a week. Like I said, the factories aren't void of Japanese, but the ones who are there are all managers and engineers. An extremely large number of worker bees, however, are Brazilians.

Don't bother anymore. We have tried to explain to him. You have lived their for 18 months. But he knows more cause he talked to someone once.

that went pear shaped fast enough.
