    The USMC provided the vast majority of training to the Georgian army prior to the Russian invasion, and it was indeed the fact that there was a sizeable number of US troops in Georgia that pissed the Russians off.

    If you click on one of the threads I linked to, there are more pictures, including one of the President of Georgia handing out the Bushies to the troops, where the troops are all in Marpat.

    The same country that will try to convince themselves that their DPMS carbines are "just as good" as Colt....

    This is serius stuff you know... Polish police believed that Turkish clones are as good as original HK MP5 for CT unit - lives were lost... they got G36C, G36K and HK416 now as replacement

    Also our best SF unit (GROM) uses Bushmaster carbines (plus some KAC). Luckily in last few years all were replaced in 1st line teams with HK416, but 2nd line (pencil pushers, but in those unit all maintain some level) still use those well worn out Bushmasters and KACs.

    For people who were made those purchases at very early '90s, all "M4s" looked same, and Bushmaster was cheapest to get...

    BTW Sorry for kicking up this zombie - got pointed to this tread from other and did not notice how old is last post

    Of course. From our (mean Polish Army) point of view HK beats KAC at:
    1. Better "name", as worldwide recognized big manufacturer.
    2. Cheaper price.
    3. Better performance on designated fields of use.
    4. Better service and support (exists!).
    5. More reliable partner to work with and depend on (not liabilities like changing moods of US foreign policy or Department of State or ATF entaglements).

    10.5", 14.5", 16.5" plus some HK417 in different barrel lenghts as well.

    Our 1.PSK (equivalent of Rangers) got HK416 in 14.5" and 16.5".

    After all, BM does have a bootleg copy of the TDP...so they could.
