Even at the dawn of its history, people have destroyed each other in different conflicts and wars. It seems that humanity will never go away from the principle of "Eat or be devoured." That is why the theme of weapons has always been incredibly popular. It was believed that the weapon should be of high quality and reliable. But often in history it happened that the newest and most modern samples proved worse than those that were issued to them. The worst chose authoritative military expert Kyle Mizokami.
1. Type 38 Arisaka
It's not all Japanese creations always make a splash in your field. Get at least a rifle Arisaka Type 38 rifle. At the turn of the XX century the Japanese copied by many Western technologies. Is no exception and the Mauser rifle. That's only a copy was many times worse.
The rifle was created under the cartridge caliber 6.5 mm in order to achieve a small return, because the average Japanese soldier was physically weaker than the European. arms length was 1.47 m. The growth medium Japanese conscript was 1.63 m. rifle weighed 4.2 kg, while the weight average Japanese soldier was 59 kg. As a result, it was found that 6.5 mm cartridge has a very weak effect of stopping.
2. M16
AR-15 rifle was developed by designer Eugene Stoner. It was easy and deadly. Here are just a modification of the Army M16 everything was very good. In the early period of rifle ammunition used with a very low-quality gunpowder, which created a deposit in excess. This led to intense pollution of weapons, and at the same time to jam or even break at the most inopportune moment.
Rifle taken into service during the Vietnam War. Not hard to guess that, being in the crucible of bloody battles, the weapons began to fail fighters. And although later the designers solved the problem, M16's reputation was severely tarnished. Stigma unreliable weapons hanging on it to this day.

In the mid-80s of the last century British army decided to replace the old rifle L1A1, created on the basis of the well-known Belgian FN FAL, new. This weapon received several interesting "bells and whistles", including a 4x optical sight, which can not be removed.
Immediately after the news on arms were revealed numerous flaws news. Weapons bad threw out of the sleeve, they are too often stuck. Plastic parts rifles were too fragile and often broke. Attempts to modernize this "miracle" design ideas taken so far.
4. INSAS
For decades, the Indian Army was equipped with British small arms. Local factories engaged in production proven Enfield rifles number 1 Mark III and L1A1. The first attempt to make something of their own became the Indian National INSAS program. Later it became clear that the attempt to create their own small arms - all failed. Everything was bad in the first Indian rifle. It was unreliable, fragile, too quickly wore out, and plastic shops INSAS could break out in the cold.
5. AMD-65
On the basis of the Kalashnikov assault rifle created a huge amount of weapons and, in particular, the assault rifles. Most often, these samples were completely reliable. But there are exceptions. For example, here is this Hungarian "hack". Weapons - an exact copy of the Soviet AKM. That's just in its capabilities to any comparison with weapons produced in the Soviet Union is not.
With arms involves a lot of interesting things and facts. This topic can be attributed, and that's the 5 worst Russian guns, according to the AmericansWho understand that from what has to shoot.
