Personally, I love this gun

The F88 Steyr fires 5.56mm x 45mm rounds and is a semi and fully automatic assault rifle issued to Australian soldiers. One characteristic of the Steyr which sets it apart from most other rifles is that most of its butt group and magazine are made from a high strength plastic. This saves weight and assists maintainability.
The Steyr is fed by a high strength plastic magazine which holds 30 rounds.
The see through magazine means you can with a glance see how much ammo you have left, a nifty feature.
Tested in mud, water, and sand and still fires just fine, sound like the AK?
"It also has been fired at temperatures of -46c to 52c.The Steyr can be fitted with three kinds of bayonets, a blank firing attachment, left hand bolt head and special sights. There are three versions of the Steyr."
"The F88 which is the standard rifle. The F88c which is the carbine and has a ten centimetre shorter barrel. and the F88S which accepts a variety of sights such as night vision."

PERSONALLY, I think Canada could use this gun, I mean it was made famous by a bloody video game called Counter Strike but its still a really durable reliable firearm. Can stand up to the C7A1 at least.
ANYONE ELSE LIKE THIS WEAPON?
