I perfer the MP5 with 1911-a1 on my side when # hits the fan. Benelli auto 12guage (<--Lamer can't remember the model it's older), NOT TO MENTION A SAVAGE 110FP TACTICAL IN .308, and ar-15, and of course FN/FAL....Did I forget anything OH YEAH S&W 640 .357 with glazer safety slugs

Pictures? Pictures are the things that make people day "ooh, ahh" and make them tend to agree with you. And for those not firearm-saavy, we don't even know if this is a handgun or a bazooka.

Das is true. However, try stickign to one primary weapon and a sidearm. Lugging mroe around is unwieldy.

I Agree, but 640 under the pillow, 1911 with me at all times, 110fp sniper rifle, ar-15 with me while I'm out, and I just LOVE the FN/FAL, but to heavy to carry around.

I can see the day when the best weapon of all is a sword like you are carrying glan, and the desire and ability to use it.

urban warwar is dificult to fight. there are so many hiding places an enemy can be hiding. i trained in northern cali. at a mock-up city when i was in the u.s.m.c.

grenades..your gonna need some grenades

It also depends on what you have around you. If you are stranded, your enemy moving quickly onto your position, and all you have around is a half empty AK-47 and a Tactical USP with only 2 shots left, you take em. If you are at base and have the choice, well take what you need. The situation depends on what you would have to use.

is better than the mind. Nothing is more versitile and readily availible, not to mention lethal, as thought.

Useing firearms as weapons, we would be better going back in history as far as warfare is concerned. At least "collateral damage" would then not be an issue. There would be less violence today if people had to fight face to face with sword in hand. Alas those days are history...

Urban warfare has evolved only so little, the same principle of fighting ones way in, and then back out remains. Modern technology has allowed for advanced reconnaissance with the use of thermal and night enhanceing devices.

Truth be known, not everyone has the privilege of useing such equipment, and that is when it all comes down to useing what you have. Haveing rifles and pistols are nice when a threat arrives. Not all threats in an urban enviornment are directly hostile however. So weapons must be saved for last resource action.

I read that about 70% of casualties occur outside of structures. The cause of such being improper planning of and use of tacics. As the G.I. Joe cartoon made famous, "Knowing is half the battle.", and that often is the most difficult part.

To get back on track, weaponry in urban warfare should only be limited to the restrictions placed on onesself. Considerations should be taken as to the possible outcome/s of actions considered, and continued objectivity must be priority. Last but not least, information is the best weapon of all. Without it, nothing can be attained. With it, everything is at hand.

The best weapon you can use any were is one that is reliable, and can use the same type of ammo your enemy is using.

Hmmm, standardized NATO rounds...anyone?

I would use a Ferniri assault shotgun in an urban combat situation. In such close quarters aiming is often a luxury you cna't afford
