Most prolific bad guy weapons

[Chuck]

Having a wee debate with a mate over which is the most prolific weapon used by baddies today.

OK, so apart from the ubiquitous AK 47, what else does the modern raghead / baddie / terrorist/ despot about town seem to use these days.

Anyone from the forces maybe care to shed a light..could be rifle, pistol or AR whatever..anyone? IED's and MRE's don't count, we were talking fireams.

Depends where you are, some parts have a lot of .303's in the hands of the bad guys.

[Scotsgun]

Other than the RPG and dragunov, i'd say probably the Enfield. It's amazing how many keep the Enfield at home for vermin control and protection.

[Dr. Strangelove]

Although not 'bad' as such the rebels in Libya seemed to have a lot of FN FALs.

[EagerNoSkill]

Ovenpaa is correct where youbare defines the weapon

Some places the AK47 is like a STD everywhere

New weapon of choice in South Africa last few years was the Z88 ( aka Beretta 92F) and the R4 (Galil copy in .223)
Mostly stolen from the cops or rented from cops :G

Here the weapon of choice has 4 wheels and a wing nut driving it

If we want to be technical, and I know you do.

Do the baddies of today have "AK47s", aren't most of them AKMs? The true AK47 only had a very short production run, later, I think early 50s, it was lightened and made more Russian-tractor-like, and became the AKM

[Chuck]

Hmm OK I forgot about RPG, that doesn't count either. Seems we have then

Beretta 92,

FN

AK variants

Lee Enfield

Dragunov..

Hmm not a big mix is there???

maybe UZI is still in there, also Mac 10 / Ingram but that's more a "gangsta shooter" is it not??

Was there not some Nagants or Mausers floating about Iraq..what about Afghanistan,.I'll cheat and stick to common areas of conflict.

[meles meles]

Quite a few Nagants around still, plenty of AK variants.

[Chuck]

Keep them coming. Anyone still using revolvers out there?

[Blackstuff]

Of the news footage i've seen by far the most prolific rifle used (after AK's) is the H&K G3/Cetme, every bugger in Africa seems to have one! Lucky sods . . . :-P
