Finland is going with an M4 derivative. It's a sad time for fans of European firearms design. Oh well, at least we'll get a Sako made M4.

A community for your defence shitposting needs
Rules
1. Be nice
Do not make personal attacks against each other, call for violence against anyone, or intentionally antagonize people in the comment sections.
2. Explain incorrect defense articles and takes
If you want to post a non-credible take, it must be from a "credible" source (news article, politician, or military leader) and must have a comment laying out exactly why it's non-credible. Low-hanging fruit such as random Twitter and YouTube comments belong in the Matrix chat.
3. Content must be relevant
Posts must be about military hardware or international security/defense. This is not the page to fawn over Youtube personalities, simp over political leaders, or discuss other areas of international policy.
4. No racism / hatespeech
No slurs. No advocating for the killing of people or insulting them based on physical, religious, or ideological traits.
5. No politics
We don't care if you're Republican, Democrat, Socialist, Stalinist, Baathist, or some other hot mess. Leave it at the door. This applies to comments as well.
6. No seriousposting
We don't want your uncut war footage, fundraisers, credible news articles, or other such things. The world is already serious enough as it is.
7. No classified material
Classified ‘western’ information is off limits regardless of how "open source" and "easy to find" it is.
8. Source artwork
If you use somebody's art in your post or as your post, the OP must provide a direct link to the art's source in the comment section, or a good reason why this was not possible (such as the artist deleting their account). The source should be a place that the artist themselves uploaded the art. A booru is not a source. A watermark is not a source.
9. No low-effort posts
No egregiously low effort posts. E.g. screenshots, recent reposts, simple reaction & template memes, and images with the punchline in the title. Put these in weekly Matrix chat instead.
10. Don't get us banned
No brigading or harassing other communities. Do not post memes with a "haha people that I hate died… haha" punchline or violating the sh.itjust.works rules (below). This includes content illegal in Canada.
11. No misinformation
NCD exists to make fun of misinformation, not to spread it. Make outlandish claims, but if your take doesn’t show signs of satire or exaggeration it will be removed. Misleading content may result in a ban. Regardless of source, don’t post obvious propaganda or fake news. Double-check facts and don't be an idiot.

Got my AR about 2-years ago. It's so easy in every way it's almost boring. Put a low-end red-dot on it. Can't miss. Can't make it malfunction.
Getting NATO on a standard like the M4 is a no-brainer.
Yesssss, we're slowly turning into a slightly saner /k/ here.
On the contrary, storm troopers do nothing but miss!
That's rebel propaganda. The Stormtroopers had no trouble boarding Tantive IV and people seem to selectively ignore the scenes proving that the rebels were permitted to escape the Death Star so they could be tracked to their secret base.
There are adapters that can go into the frontsightpost to mount a light, or rails that can be fitted onto the clamshell handguard. Or a mount like this. Much better places for a light to be accessed by the hand.
The sling can be rerouted through the stock like so. Without buying additional adapters the front of the sling can be mounted to the frontsightpost with nothing more than a little bit of gutted 550 cord like so. The advantage of doing this is that if you take your hands off the rifle while it is slung to your front, the rifle will not try to flip upside down awkwardly.
Coming back to this later. The light hitting my A sight is painful. Never seen one like that!
What is that sort of adapter called?
The cantilever one is a Mount-N-Slot design.

The rails that go inside of the frontsightpost are more generic and made by many companies, just search for frontsightpost rail.
One of many example sellers.

It's beautiful 😍
Thank you! Inside the dust cover is another Imperial logo and THX 1138. Otherwise, about entirely stock.
Yo where did you get your AR from? I love the star wars look!
It's a Ruger AR-556 Whiteout, pretty much stock excepting the custom dust cover and muzzle device. Got the bit on the end from Canto Arms. Same guys that made my blaster.
Already had the white Olight and the 45° canted adapter. Not a "weapon" light, but it works! Literally drop kicked the gun to test, many times. Slammed it on the ground, many times. Works fine.
Best part, I got a standard 30-round mag advertised as "Stormtrooper White". :) The 10-round mags are easier to use for a few reasons, even though standard mags are not banned around here.
Thanks for the reference that blaster also looks really cool! I might have to copy you cause that gun looks sick and Im jealous lol. Right now I got an AR10 chambered for .308, I like it for hunting but for target shooting not so much. A 556 variant would probably be a lot better for that
I feel you on the mag size, 30 rounds aren't banned where I'm at either and they look nicer (especially that stormtrooper white you mentioned, oh man that'd look so cool!) but I also use a 10 round cause of how much better it feels and makes it easier to use.
Bruh, did you really star wars theme a weapon?
Mostly came that way out the box. Seen my blaster?
I will admit that the blaster looks pretty cool. But I will probably always feel a bit weird about weapons being played with and customised in that way.
Like, if I saw a weapon like that I would assume it's for cosplay and not for killing people.
It's not very likely that I will ever see a weapon like that though since weapons are strictly controlled where I live. So outside of museums and military contexts, the only weapons I have seen are hunting rifles.
