Mission 52 - Weapons
Escape from Asadabad

 Friendly Forces
M16A2 Assault rifle
M16A2 Assault rifle
The M16A2 is the standard issue for the US Army. With a heavier, firmer barrel than its predecessor, the M16A1, the A2 allows for the firing of NATO standard SS 109 type (M855) ammunition, also used with M249 Squad Automatic Weapons (SAWs). [show more...]

The rifle cartridge range is farther and more effective than ever before. The M16A2 can also fire all NATO standard 5.56mm ammunition and, equipped with the M203 Grenade Launcher, can fire 40mm missiles.

Lightweight, air-cooled, gas-operated, magazine-fed, the M16A2 can be fired from the shoulder or the hip. A selector level allows the soldier to shoot in modes of automatic fire, in 3-round bursts, or single-shot semiautomatic fire. A muzzle compensator improves the control and accuracy of the M16A2, and a fully adjustable rear sight has been enhanced for wind and range changes.

Factoid:The M16A2 has a modified upper receiver that changes the way cartridges are ejected. They used to hit left-handed shooters in the face.

Effective range:550 meters
Reload time: 4.9 seconds
Cyclic rate of fire: 800 rpm
Maximum range: 3,600 meters
Weight (loaded): 8.79 lbs
Length: 39.63 inches

5.56-millimeter M4 carbine with M203 grenade launcher
5.56-millimeter M4 carbine with M203 grenade launcher
This weapon was designed as a shorter, lightweight alternative to the M16A2 rifle, to give soldiers the ability to engage the enemy with accurate, lethal fire at close quarters. [show more...]

Gas operated, and air-cooled, it has a collapsible stock and can be fitted with rubber bullets for crowd control. The M4A1, the version made for Special Operations Forces, has a full automatic mode. But the tradeoff for making a shorter, handier version of the M16 has been in penetration, velocity and accuracy over longer ranges.

Primary function: 5.56 mm rifle for close-quarters battle
Weight: 7.92 pounds (3.6 kilograms)
Maximum effective range: area target, 2,624.8 feet (800 meters); point target, 1,650 feet (500 meters)
Rate of fire: 45 rounds per minute, semiautomatic
Other features: Can be fitted with M203 grenade launcher
Used by: Marine Expeditionary Units and U.S. Army units


MP5-N submachine gun
MP5-N submachine gun
Manufactured by Heckler and Koch, the MP5-N can be fired in an automatic or semiautomatic mode. Recoil operated, the MP5-N has a unique delayed roller locked-bolt system and boasts an illuminating flashlight, which aids in reconnaissance and battlefield missions and is operated by a custom fitted pressure switch on the pistol grip. [show more...]
Both the suppressed and the non-suppressed versions of the MP5 offer our soldiers supreme firepower in a compact size and light weight. The MP5 is the ideal weapon for fighting in close quarters with the accuracy and lethality you would expect from Special Operations weaponry. Marine Corps Force Reconnaissance Companies and Marine Security Force Battalions consider the MP5 the foremost weapon to do combat in close quarters battle (CQB) environment.

Factoid: The MP5 is the chosen weapon of the world’s most elite counter-terrorist organizations, as well as the FBI's preeminent Hostage Rescue Team.

Length Collapsed: 19.29 inches
Extended: 25.98 inches
Weight: 7.44 pounds
Bore diameter: 9mm
Maximum effective range: 328.1 feet
Rate of fire: 800 rounds per minute


Enemy
AK-47 Kalashnikov rifle
AK-47 Kalashnikov rifle

Durable and widely available, the AK-47 is a Russian 7.62mm assault rifle. The AK fires 100 rounds per minute even through extreme conditions such as low temperatures, from moving vehicles, and after being dunked in water, mud, or sand.

One drawback is low muzzle velocity, which makes the relatively heavy round arc at long ranges. Other drawbacks are the jams, dents, and overheated barrels that can make the weapon tough to handle. But the downsides pale in comparison to what the AK-47 offers a fighter: an easy-to-maintain gun that can deliver a high volume of fire. This is why the AK-47 has been one of the most used assault rifles in the world since the early 1950s.

[show more...]

Factoid: The AK-47's inventor never earned a single ruble for the 100 million AKs in the world today. He didn't patent it.

Primary function: 7.62-mm assault rifle
Weight: 9.4 pounds (4.3 kilograms) with 30-round curved box magazine
Rate of fire: 100 rounds per minute/cyclic 600 rounds per minute
Effective range: 990 feet (300 meters)


RPG-7 Rocket Propelled Grenade Launcher
RPG-7 Rocket Propelled Grenade Launcher

A shoulder-fired, muzzle-loaded, grenade launcher, the RPG-7 fires a variety of grenades from a 40-mm launch tube. It's light enough to be fired by one person, but an assistant usually stands to the left of the gunner for protection.

The launcher first ejects the grenade out 10 meters, and then the grenade's internal motor ignites and speeds it toward the target with fins that cause it to rotate slowly. Crosswinds can cut accuracy down by 50% for the gunner's first shot, but the shaped charge in the grenade can punch through all known armored vehicles.

Rate of fire: Four to six rounds per minute
Ammunition: 85 mm grenade
