Big Jon,
The recievers on the K2 are not cast. They are forged aluminum. It says so in the manual. Also it would make no sense for them to be cast when Daewoo was a licensed contract manufacture of the Colt M-16 for domestic production and use only. The materials used in the K2 are the same...
There must be a good reason why the Germans themselves use everything HK in their armed forces. Anybody know why they don't use the SIG 226 or the just went with the 550 instead of going through the trouble of producing the G36?
Why do people pay more for handguns than rifles? I don't understand it. $700 for a SIG and Kimber. $1100 for a USP45 Expert and SIG GSR. And there are the $2000+ 1911's. When I see the high prices on "custom" 1911's such as Wilson's, I wonder what fool would buy one. What justifcation is...
The USP45F will win. The 1911 platform is old school. The USP holds 50% more rounds, lighter, has light rails, and designed for punishment. The SEALs like the USP45F. The USP is used by the German KSK and Australian SAS. That's good enough for me. I sold my SA 1911 and never looked back...
Make that five countries with F-15's. South Korea flys the F-15K, the latest and greatest.
