Best rifle pistol combo of the 80's and 90's

[Savage Jav]

What would be the test rifle and pistol one could own in the 1980s through the 1990's. Approaching this from a fighting rifle and side arm. Curious everyone's thoughts, my answer will come in the form of a picture when the rest of the parts arrive.

Looking like a Bren ten and original AUG.

The same as today. AR-15 and a Glock; boringly reliable and predictable. Unfortunately, guns really haven't advanced in the last few decades.

 

[edzz]

AR-15 or a FAL and a HK P7 or a CZ-75.

Beretta 92FS and HK MP5

1911

Beretta 92

CZ75

Glock 17 or 19 first generation for the 90s


FN FAL/L1A1, either British, Belgian, or Australian.

HK91 and G3
Edit, it was the 80s. We had the Rhodesian war, and all the mercenaries, then the Central-South American revolutions/juntas/drug wars...

No way Glock 7... It's a porcelain gun made in Germany. It doesn't show up on your airport X-ray machines here and it costs more than what you make in a month!

and for the long gun...

 

[GWS]

Browning High Power and an FNC in the 80s

Glock 19 and an AR for the 90s

 

[CamoDeafie]

For the 90s, it's gotta be Colt AR or nothing. At that time Bushmaster and even ArmaLite were not as highly regarded. Budget ARs were either DPMS or Rock River Arms.

Edit. The question was "best combat duo". Gotta say for rifles in the 90s, HK is hard to beat.. particularly the HK 33 and HK 91, PSG-1 infamously. Handguns.... Dan Wesson 1911s?

The M95? Why that over the M82?

This is the answer

OP never specified century…

 

[Savage Jav]

Since I can't wait. Car 15 with an aimpoint and a Gen 2 Glock 19. Pretty well armed in the 90's and pretty well armed today. Even the sight is very usable but we've come leaps and bounds with light technology.

P.S. If anyone has a Car 15 stock (or repro) please reach out.

When I imagined the thread I was things guns from my childhood, but I forget some of you were born back then.

 

[oremike]

Back then it was 45 Colt and a 30-06

If I had to pick between guns made in 1980 or 1880. I'd be picking the 1880s.
