I immediately think of reportage, in which our military gladly talked about the NATO weapons - such as a convenient, easy, high-tech, but this is unreliable. Type in the battle trash. They cited an example - rifle from lightweight alloy is very light (in my M4, but I can lie) fell from a height of board of "KAMAZ" and split in half. Or a machine gun, which produced 45 tape cartridges and barrel "led". And then I remembered the arguments about 10 years ago. Were compared m16 assault rifle and our "Kalash". Well, he says m16 on the characteristics of accuracy, range, and so had a substantial advantage. But Kalash was one of the most convincing - the price. m16 seems to cost about $ 1500, and the Kalashnikov - about 500.
Authentically you? For that he bought for it and sell
In army weapons are not an expert, but I can tell you about hunting. Imported guns for quality superior to our guns on all counts, except for the price (import comparable grades are 4-5 times more expensive than Russian). There is a true mythical custom rifle manufactured in Russia, and which are th-th. But it did not compare correctly. Italian or German you take a gun in hand - can be seen that lovingly done. And about this we can not say. In general, as with cars, and with rifles.
