 [No title]
Read their promotional materials and discover that Diemaco describes its C7 Family of Combat Weapons as \"a highly engineered and ruggedly constructed small arms system.\" The International Committee of the Red Cross, among many international organizations, is alarmed at the growth of the small arms trade and its deadly consequences.
Yet before the changes were finally allowed, Diemaco had already lined up contract bids abroad, and moaned that it might lose jobs and future opportunities if its contracts had to be cancelled because they did not receive Ottawa\'s approval.
And we will hopefully set in motion a campaign of nonviolent accountability which will expose and transform the Diemaco \"family\" from the illicit shadows of the murder trade to the light of positive community development.

 Airsoft Canada - Diemaco sold to Colt
The C7 is a far more superior rifle then the M16, our rifles don't jam up as much as theirs, its a shame that our rifle company is being bought out by the states.......only supports my theory:
Ah I didn't mean they stole it or anything, it's just the same design (with some improvements, the C7 is better then the M16 sure) but I just think it's funny how much the designs are pimped out and other companies make bastardised versions of it.
02-16-2005 11:29 PM Perhaps Colt bought Diemaco to learn some of the proprietary processes which might be why their rifles are better.
