Crimson Guard's Rifle

I don't know much about real guns so please excuse the ignorance. What real life gun is this rifle based on? I'm asking so I can order something similar to equip my Freds with from Marauder!

I'm thinking, because I've been playing Call of Duty 2 for two months now, either a Springfield, a Garand, or a Kar. I'm going Springfield for irony.

i assume he meant so he could get Fred a rifle that matched the single pack CGs.

and i think you are right that Fred's is a Browning Springfield M1, and never put the irony together until you just pointed it out there...

Oh. This thread confused me. Which guard are we talking about. If it's wave 5, AK-47 with bayonet.

If it's the Wave 5 CG, I don't think they're carrying AKs; pretty sure those are some kind of AR-15ish thing. Fred does appear to be carrying an M1.

The wave cg's do not come with AK-47's. Not sure of what exactly they are modeled after but it is definitely not a kalishnikov or even from that family (RPK, SKS, etc.)

Tho technically the SKS isnt in the Kalashnikov family at all.
Its direct ancestor is the AVS-36.
Both were designed by Sergei Simonov.
That being said, it looks like the single pack figs come with something from the Colt's AR/M-16/M-4 family, and Fred comes withan M1 Garand.
