People that make weapons for the army?

Thee are a number of manufacturers of weaponry for the Armed Forces. One would need to live near enough to such a factory to be able to commute to the plant daily. Remington, Savage Arms, Winchester, Smith and Wesson and others make "small arms" for the services. Those are weapons the individual service member carries. Others make the bigger weapons like cannons. Basically, one would be ahead of the game if one took classes at a community college in operating machine lathes and other metal-working machinery. Your bf also needs to be aware that in today's economy, competition for those jobs is ferocious. A LOT of skilled machinists have lost their jobs at places like Ford and GM and have taken those skills to arms manufacturing jobs.

Here are some of the most popular companies for weapons manufacturing and where their HQ is and some of the guns they make.

Fabrique Nationale- Location, Belgium- Makes, F2000 FN SCAR P90 M249

Colt- United States- M4- M16 and its variants (The m4 and the M16 are the current weapons used by US armed forces

Heckler and Koch- Germany- G36 M416 MP5

Beretta- Italy- Beretta 9mm pistols (side arm used by US armed forces)

Barret-United States- 50. Caliber sniper rifles.

These are just a few, despite some HQs being in different countries, most of them have a location in the United States.

Unless he wants to work for a private company he won't find a job making weapons in the military. He may find a job repairing weapons though. There is a big difference.

well weapons seem to be the only thing the US makes any more

making weapons and joining the military, about the only safe bets for jobs in America

he should probably make the weapons, alot safer

Boeing, Barret, Beretta, a few that come to mind.

no offence but you should let him do what he really wants to do (join the army)
