What is the most accurate assault rifle?

in my opinion, the commando is my favourite assault rifle but i don't think its the best though and also the ak47u and the ak47 is also my favourite also i am not talking about call of duty black ops, another gun witch is quit good is the asp hand gun its really sexy but I'm probably wrong... lol

^^^ Do not under any circumstances listen to the guy above me.... He has absolutely no idea what he's talking about... There is no such thing as a "commando"... "Commando" was part of the name for the Car 15, It was an M16A1 with a shortened barrel, gas tube, different feed ramps and a different buffer weight in the stock. "commando" was to signify the short barrel length. You could say back in the day it was the term for "carbine". The "AK74u" also doesn't exist... The proper name is the AKS-74U. The Ak47 had its time, but the 7.62 is a far inferior round to the 5.56 and 5.45. Don't believe this guy, he's definitely got his answer from call of duty... The ASP being a perfect example.. Only a handful were made and it was never issued to any military... Also since this is an assault rifle post I don't know what a handgun is doing here...

What is the value of a 1918 World War 1 trench knife with brass knuckles and sheath marked US 1918?

The 1918 US trench knife is worth around $300 if it is original, and depending on the condition. Poor condition really brings down the value. Beware though, there are far more replica 1918 knuckle knifes in the world than originals, fake ones have very bright crome blades, and some have the brass handle cast too small. I have a fake in my collection because originals are too expensive. The original sheath is quality made, the repro ones are cheep and flimsy. A repro is worth about 15-25 bucks.

Anywhere from $25-1000. The value of a weapon (especially a military weapon) will be based on condition and originality- as well as the EXACT model. If a military rifle has been "sporterized", it loses much of it's value to a collector. And there were several models of Mauser rifle made in 8mm- both military and civilian.

Use Autosol or rubbing compound and buff it Assuming it is an old button, you do not want to remove the patina. Do not use Brasso or naval jelly.
