Northern-Ireland cops w/issued "Orbendorfers" (Heckler & Koch G3 Rifle & MP5 9mm Sub-gun variant)
Banned in California, If one can find these rare classic big-bore battle rifles to begin with. They are considered "Evil" by Utopian Totalitarians merely because folding stocks, ergonomic pistol grips and detachable magazines capable of holding more than 10 rounds are features.
M-14 Pattern civilian semi-automatic custom w/shortened tube/muzzle brake, rail system, telescopic sight, fore-grip, tacical flashlight, bi-pod and non-wooden stock. NOT Banned in California if using 10 round limited magazines...

US Airman w/captured "pimped" Gold-Plated AK Underfolder (Iraq)
Hungarian AMD 65 (7.62x39mm) Paratrooper/Officers/Tanker carbine AK variant in California neutered configuration . This is a new FEG arsenal made firearm with matching serial numbered parts (not a "parts kit mongrel"), but curiously, is missing the rear sling lanyard loop device. Customized with an NcStar top cover scope mount, and "ancient" British Small Arms brand "RD30" 30mm Red dot scope. An unmodified blank-adapted version was seen in the film "Death Wish 5", while a regular AK was mocked up to look like an AMD in a "Rambo" film, when these were harder to obtain in western countries.

Early Model AR-15/M-16 with "partial fence slabside" lower receiver shown (1968-"Green Berets")

Early Experimental AR15/M-16 "Shorty" example. Note the "single fence slabside" lower receiver and the early Armalite style "waffle" magazine design.
M-14's with USMC in Vietnam Combat action (M79 and M60  GPMG also seen here); early 1960's prior to issuance of M-16's.
WW2: Black US Troops in combat action, hunting Nazi Snipers in France. M-1 Carbine precursor semi-automatics and Springfield Bolt Action rifle seen here (Black troops were commonly given second line guns and equipment, yet expected to perform on par with better equipped units.  They were always set up to fail, despite proof otherwise, which was ignored, minimized, even outright lied about (For example, all combat medals were routinely downgraded for Black troops when submitted for review)
WW2: Nazi "Penal Battalion" Troops w/ K-98 Mausers and the infamous MP-44  9mm Machine pistol in a rare photo. (Commonly called a "Burp-Gun" by US Troops, who also incorrectly referred to it as a "Schmeisser", which was an earlier model sub-machinegun, the WW1 era "MP-18".  The mis-identification probably started by vets who had encountered it in the hands of the original "Storm Trooper" raiders of previous war).  These scum were all criminals released from prison to fight, and were looked down upon even by their "comrades" as "thugs", but respected for their ruthless efficiency, that is, until it was turned upon them in the last days of the war when they participated in murderous "flying squads" hunting "traitors" retreating from the front....
Hungarian AMD-65 version with wood, rather than plastic grips; USMC Instructor (Iraq)
The famous "U.N.C.L.E." gun, here in the "Carbine" configuration, a semiautomatic double-action 9mm Walther model "P-38" with extended barrel and magazine, "skeleton" shoulder stock, and Bushnell "Phantom" scope; hand filled by Agent "Napoleon Solo" (Robert Vaughn) with  partner Agent "Illya Kuriyakin" (David McCallum). MGM Studio publicity photo-1960's (The Studio was raided by gun police who assumed the prop-masters were "illegally" manufacturing machine guns after seeing these on the TV show. After showing that the guns were blank-firing models only, the raid was called off, and the "authorities" were shown to be gullible fools looking for a cheap arrest, taken in by Hollywood SFX)...McCallum is currently seen in "NCIS" TV series.

Integrated Combat Patrol hunts terrorists with FN-FAL; 7.62x51mm NATO Rifles (Rhodesian Africa Bushwar-1970/80's)
Muscular model w/drum magazine fed M-16 on "rock & roll", Lara Croft style holstered pistols

The now rare Ruger AC556K selective fire "Mini-14" Rifle. A chrome semiauto version of this was used as the weapon of choice for the "A-Team" TV Series. The now deceased Bill Ruger remains unforgiven by many for his turncoat actions during the initial so-called "Assault Weapons" Ban furor. Despite this, the Ruger Mini-14 remains popular in the US, likely due to it not being banned in many states in it's non-military/police versions (unlike the now obsolete above example with the "Evil" under-folding stock, shorter barrel, "pistol" grip, muzzle-flash "hider" & normal capacity detachable box magazine)...See the video I have embedded in the sidebar of Leroy Pyle's "Truth about Semi-Auto Firearms" which demonstrates a Mini-14 conversion in action...
African Amazon Troops w/German G-3 Paratrooper stocked rifles on drill (Kenya)
INSAS selective fire auto-rifle (India). These firearms are so restricted, Terrorists w/AK's rampaged and killed dozens in Bombay/Mumbai before armed troops arrived to liquidate them. India, like their British counterparts, are extremely anti-gun and ineffectual dealing with murderous Terrs because of it, despite deploying effective firearms like the INSAS, a home-grown mix of the AK-47, FN-FAL & Galil/R-4 systems...
Cute badass chick stylin' with her magazine-fed weapon (her beret color indicates she is parachute qualified, & therefore fearless) Italy

Hard-Guy Vietnamese Paratrooper (ARVN) with slung M-1 Carbine (30 round mag "conspicuously protruding" under right armpit) with hands full of captured enemy soviet pattern Machinegun (1970's). ARVN Paras, Rangers & Marines were die-hard fighters, unjustifiably  smeared with the unreliable reputation of draftee ARVN Infantry, which were heavily infiltrated by Cong/Communist sympathizers. US Troops who saw the specials in action knew that the only other Asian/Oriental troops more feared by the enemy than them were the ruthless "ROK" Koreans, who were fond of decapitating any Cong/NVA that fell in their hands. Charlie learned quick that you did not screw with the ROK's...

Rifleman's Creed (USA)
By W.H. Rupertus
This is my rifle. There are many like it, but this one is mine. My rifle is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life. My rifle, without me, is useless. Without my rifle, I am useless. I must fire my rifle true. I must shoot straighter than my enemy who is trying to kill me. I must shoot him before he shoots me. I will...

My rifle and myself know that what counts in this war is not the rounds we fire, the noise of our burst, nor the smoke we make. We know that it is the hits that count.
We will hit...

My rifle is human, even as I, because it is my life. Thus, I will learn it as a brother. I will learn its weaknesses, its strength, its parts, its accessories, its sights and its barrel. I will ever guard it against the ravages of weather and damage as I will ever guard my legs, my arms, my eyes and my heart against damage. I will keep my rifle clean and ready. We will become part of each other.
We will...

Before God, I swear this creed. My rifle and myself are the defenders of my country. We are the masters of our enemy. We are the saviors of my life. So be it, until victory is America's and there is no enemy, but peace!
