Real Life Gun Information

Thought I would make this to aid fanfictions that aren't very accurate as far as guns and such.

I will post firearms that seem to be the most mistaken first, and clear up some major things about them that many people get wrong, not to point anyone out. I will also mention little-known facts about other weapons. Bumblebeeprime09(Talk) 23:34, December 15, 2010 (UTC)

TAR-21
The TAR-21 is an Israeli bullpup assault rifle. It uses the 5.56x45mm NATO cartridge, meaning it uses the same bullets as the M16, M4, ACR, G36, AUG, M249 SAW, and many other weapons. The TAR-21 accepts STANAG magazines, the same magazines seen on the M4 and M16 in-game. It is not used by the US or Russia, though it is manufactured under license in Brazil, and is used by the Brazilian Army, so it is possible that Militia people in MW2 have gotten ahold of TAR-21s, making their appearance not very inaccurate. It uses the MARS sight as it's standard optic, and is compatible with many types of scopes. It is compatible with the M203 grenade launcher.

Steyr AUG
The AUG is an Austrian bullpup assault rifle. It uses the 5.56x45mm NATO cartridge, same as many other weapons. It was designed in the early 1970's by Steyr Mannliecher (I apologize if this is misspelled), and was adopted by the Austrian Bundesheer in 1977, meaning it was a prototype before then. The A1 variant can only use the Swarovski scope, though the A2 variant has a Picatinny rail in place of the scope, meaning it can mount other optics. The A3 variant has a Picatinny rail system around the handguard area, so it can fit much more accessories, like the M16A4's rail system. It is used by mostly Australia and Austria. The only US branch that uses the AUG is Immigration and Customs Enforcement, whom are usually seen at International airports.

FAMAS
The FAMAS is a French Bullpup Assault rifle. It accepts 25 round straight box magazines, though later models also accept STANAGs. It is another 5.56x45mm rifle. It is only used by France and a few smal countries around the Middle east and Northeastern Africa. It was designed in 1967-1971.
