No I did not misspell to title, but I think that it may indeed be a fitting name for the officer rifle that shares a VERY similar pronunciation.
For those English speaking people who are unfamiliar with the word, wiki defines it as:
Bollocks: The word is often used figuratively in British English and Hiberno-English, as a noun to mean "nonsense"...
If we translate this whole thing to American English we get the following sequence:
Balac's = Bollocks = Bull****
And there we have it, the Bull**** assault rifle.
I thought that this stuff was pretty important, and that I should of course share this with the community right away.
Your thoughts?

Well, in my deffence, I am an American. Our pronunciation of the word "Balac's" is probably slightly diferent, which is probably where the discrepance is coming from.
But, as an American, I have sucsefully turned the "Balac's assault rifle" into the bull**** assault rifle. It seem like the forum AR QQ was right all along.

Are you saying the Balac is bullshit?
Your first mistake was expecting there to be a point to this thread.

Your thoughts? As for those who are no native english, what about THE DOGS BOLLOCKS, meaning Fkin awesome.
Nope, sorry, just Balac's.

Well, in my deffence, I am an American. Our pronunciation of the word "Balac's" is probably slightly diferent, which is probably where the discrepance is coming from. I'm an American too but obviously I pronounce it differently than you. The "Bal" in Balac's I pronounce as I would in Balance and the the "ac's" I pronounce as axe. Thus I pronounce it as Balaxe; whereas Bollocks I pronounce as Ball-ox.
It's close enough for a joke man. Come lighten up.
