Is The Battle Rifle Dead?
Battle rifles are nothing new. When I think of a battle rifle, old M1 Garands, M14s as well as the FN FAL come to mind. The M1 Garand has been out of service since the 1960’s. The M14 actually had a very short life as a primary rifle before being replaced by the M16. The M14 however has still been used in limited situations since being replaced by the M16. I actually carried the M14 while serving in the Navy as we still used them for our topside ship watches. They’ve since been replaced by the M4 which is a shortened version of the M16. The M14 was also revived to do some limited work in the mountains of Afghanistan during the last couple of decades. The military needed a cartridge that could be more effective at distance like the 7.62 Nato round. The FN FAL was replaced many decades ago by more modern rifles that shoot the 5.56 Nato, but in many 3rd world countries as well as conflicts, the FN FAL is still being used.
Tumblr media
So why exactly have these battle rifles been phased out? Even battle rifles like the FN FAL, which is a superb weapon system…the end is hear or very near for these rifles. The main reasons in my humble opinion have been 2 fold. The shear weight of these rifle platforms is way more than rifles like the M16 and M4 rifles. The M14 typically will weigh somewhere north of 12 pounds whereas your typical M16 will be as light as 7 pounds. One could also argue that the ergonomics of the M16 are far superior to any M14 configuration. At the end of the day, when you’re trekking through the woods or desert on foot…ounces equal pounds and pounds add up.
Tumblr media
The second reason I do believe would have to be the cartridge, the cartridge weight as well as capacity. When rifles like the M16 were coming online, jungle warfare was at it’s height during the Vietnam war. Most engagements were of shorter distances and there was less need to a heavier projectile to inflict damage at a longer distance. Ammunition capacity was also a concern. A soldier could carry 30% more 5.56mm ammunition over 7.62Nato. Your standard capacity M16 magazine was 20 rounds at first, then later 30 rounds whereas the standard capacity M14 magazine was just 20 rounds at most. The ability to carry more ammo and provide suppressing fire for an extended amount of time won.
Tumblr media
So even though the battle rifle is dead to modern militaries around the world, it still has a place in many of our hearts. And luckily for us, companies such as DSA and Springfield Armory still manufacture faithful reproductions of these iconic battle rifles, sans the fun switch of course. You can find these in different varieties over at Brownells. I’ve had for sometime now a Springfield M1A loaded model that I swapped out the plastic stock for a G.I. wood stock and scope setup. It’s been an awesome rifle! I’m hoping to one day add a version of the FN FAL made by DSA. They manufacture numerous variants of the iconic FAL with shorter/longer barrels, folding and fixed stocks. So if you’re still in love with these warhorses in the twilight of their life, be sure to pick one up while you still can.

How to Play the Laser Tag Video Game
Tumblr media
Laser tag is a great game for people of all ages. It combines the excitement of video games with the physical activity of sports, and is played in a safe, controlled environment by trained experts.
The basics of the game
In the Laser Tag video game, each player wears a vest that has sensors on the front and back. They also have a gun that connects to the vest. The goal of the game is to shoot other players and score points for your team. Each time you shoot another player, they get a zap on their vest and are out of the game for a few seconds.
Aiming the gun is an important skill in laser tag, and many newer players struggle to aim their guns properly. This is one of the reasons why it is often a good idea to have Steradian Targets set up for the players to practice before the match begins.
The best way to become a good laser tag player is to play a lot of rounds. You'll improve your shooting skills, and you'll get a better idea of what your opponents are doing. Once you've got a hang of the game, you can start to make strategic moves that help your team win. Be sure to check out this website at https://www.huffpost.com/entry/using-lasers-to-make-data_b_10310234 for more info about laser.
Be sure to wear comfortable shoes, and keep your hands free of any objects that could distract you from shooting or aiming. You'll be running around a lot, and you're going to want to be able to move fast so that you can shoot as many people as possible.
You'll want to be aware of your surroundings at all times, so make sure that you're in a well-lit area. This is because you'll be able to see what your opponents are doing, and it can be easy for them to spot you.
Before the game starts, be sure to talk about your strategy. This will help you plan how you're going to attack and defend your base during the match, and it can make you a more effective player overall.
When you're playing the game, don't forget to drink lots of water and be careful not to get dehydrated or slowed down too much. This can affect your performance and can make it difficult to play the game as much as you want to.
Use a laser tag power card
A Power Card allows you to change the way your weapon works. It allows you to customize your weapons with special features such as invulnerability, missiles and nukes. This is a great way to enhance your skills and give you a competitive edge over your friends.
Level up your skills
Every time you earn a Power Card you'll unlock more powerful weapons. You'll also be able to earn different abilities and upgrades that will make you a more effective laser tag player.
If you're looking to take your Laser Tag Singapore experience to the next level, look into a Battlerifle Pro. This state-of-the-art system uses the best vibration feedback in the industry to immerse you even more in your laser tag mission.

Got that Battlerifle in Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 Beta. I was leveling up in order to unlock the MP5. It was a blast (Literally) leveling it up. Very Powerful, 10/10 would recommend. Owned a lot of angry players over the course of 12 games.

One of my favorite battle rifles, the @springfieldarmoryinc M1A. This particular model is the SOCOM 16. Springfield has quite a few variants of the M1A and I currently own 2 of the 3 main rifles and love them all. Which one(s) do you own? . #m1a #socom #socom16 #m14 #battlerifle #screwthefal @walkersgsm @weaponsfanatics @weaponspage @weaponspromo @weaponusa @weaponsdaily @the_greatest_weapons @weaponswow @firearms @gunsdaily @gunfreaks @gunsdailyusa @guns_fanatics_ @mr.gun.official @gundosellc @guns.page @guns_badassery @brownellsinc @subtaccovers @springfieldarmoryinc (at Fort Bragg, North Carolina) https://www.instagram.com/p/CD2cfQYJw-H/?igshid=kf8e4n13jipq

Just needs the racing stripes and it's done! This kit was printed modeled by @misriah.designs and I hope I did it justice for a first attempt. There's more rifle replicas coming so definitely stay tuned! #halo #halocosplay #br85 #battlerifle #haloinfinity #xbox #cosplay #halocollector #masterchief #3dprinting #3dmodeling https://www.instagram.com/p/B8wVg9yHrrv/?igshid=18a7dju2yvicz
