Best 5.56 Assault Rifle?

[Shazam]

FAVORITE 5.56 rifle? Yes .. I called them "Assault" Rifles...

Past, present, Prohib ... Whats your favorite? and Why?

I think the Galil is a contender....

piston, best of AK and M16 in 5.56

 

[X-man]

You forgot a bunch, including the SIG 550, which is my favorite! Short Rifles/Carbines with select fire capability: again the SIG 552/551 are top picks, followed by the M4.

why is the ak47 up there?

I like it and all but it only came in 7.62 and 5.45 not 5.56

Then why do I have so many 5.56 AK mags at home?
also I am including my Valmet 76 in the AK catagory.

 

[Paulinski]

I prefer the AR's myself.

Mini 14

The m16 seems to be doing fine

 

[Grouse Man]

Ahem, we've been telling Wendy and her cabal that 'assault rifles' are nebulous. What you are talking about are military-styled semiautomatic centerfire rifles.

AK's have been availbe in 5.56 for many years. However, technically the AK-47 was only in 7.62x39.

 

[pitdogboy]

Only shot an M16 so I vote for that.

 

[syndochrist]

I vote for the M16/AR-15 due to the fact that it is so versitile and easy to mod the sights, barrel lengths, grips and even caliber's. All you need is one lower receiver and you can do almost anything with it.

wow...nice Galil...yours?

 

[VincentVega]

I vote AK just because Ive only ever fired AR-15 and AK-47

Im pretty sure the AK-74 was 5.56 I might be wrong tho.

AK 74 is 5.45 x 39 mm.

I'll take a HK 33/53 please, or a FNC however I would settle for something in the 550 series.

 

[Speckfire]

The Ak-101 and the Ak-102 are 5.56

 

[dangertree]

Haven't fired the G36, or the Galil. Have fired a few of the modern Euro 5.56mm AK variants.

The light, accurate, reliable one that is easy to maintain, has good ergonomics, easily configured, and is STILL the choice of basically everybody who can freely choose, the M16 family of weapons.

Second choice, from that list, the FNC.

 

[Lee Enfield]

Realistically the minute Eugene Stoner threw up his hands and said "it's finished" in regards to the AR15 rifle concept, every pre-existing weapon was obsolete.

While I like the later iterations of the AK format, ergonomically they have been obsolete since the late 1950s.

While the Galil is a good attempt at improving the AK system's ergonomics, they kind of ruined a great Valmet.

So I have to put the M16 first, followed by the FNC (which is an AK evolution).

If you had the SIG series listed I would place them 3rd mainly because they do not use STANAG mags.
