SOME DETAILS:
Pakistani POF group demonstrated in Istanbul modernized rifle G3M, as well as the modification of ukaemu MG3. This first replace the arming of Pakistan Army G3A3 and G3P4.

The main armament individual Pakistani army remains, produced from the 1960s to the license of the German H & K by the state-owned POF (Pakistan Ordnance Factories) G3 rifle variant of G3A3 with the butt of constant and G3P4 with retractable butt (local variant of the G3A4). This weapon is a powerful energy-powered rifle cartridge 7.62 mm x 51.

Industry tried to encourage the army and troops paramiltarne to buy rifles to ammunition indirect. POF has developed even in the years 2006-2007 on the basis of G3 variants PK7 the cartridge 7.62 mm x 39 and PK8 for ammunition 5.56 mm x 45 (New weapon for Pakistan, 2007-06-16). Do not have given rise to greater interest from potential buyers. PK7 proved to be too expensive for the price clones AK / AKM from China, and PK8 rejected the army, deciding to keep the cartridge 7.62 mm x 51 Both structures have been tested factory, but never implemented them into production.
An interesting fact is the lack of handle mounting rail under tension. Representatives of POF argued that this is to reduce the risk of injury during hand reload
In 2007, Pakistan declared the need to purchase from 500 to 800 thousand. construction of new shooting, but the cost of this operation, the estimated time for approx. 2 billion, discouraged military decision-makers. Implementation of the production of the new model proved to be too expensive, furthermore, if the army is satisfied with the design used for archery. It is worth noting that because of the weapons used in the technology of the 1940s and 1950s production G3 rifle is now quite expensive. \
Comparison variety G3S summary of 300-mm barrel for a modernized G3M with a standard length of 450 mm. The mass of the former is 4.5 kg, the second 4.7 kg
In the meantime, POF developed new variants of the G3, including a shortened variant with a barrel length of 300 mm and a variant called G3S parawyborowy of 508-mm barrel DMR Mk 1
The latter were slightly older variant were ordered, inter alia, by Vietnam (Vietnam buys Pakistani weapons, 2007-08-23). Created a modification of the standard rifle called G3M.
New samopowtarzalny sniper rifle based on the G3 - DMR Mk 1 with 508-mm barrel. Older generation models were ordered, inter alia, by Vietnam
Finally, a few weeks ago been decided on gradual adaptation to version G3M all guns used in the army G3A3 and G3P4. Among the changes to adapt weapons to mount additional equipment by placing a section of the universal mounting rail on the back of the receiver, replacing the bed by a team of three Picatinny rails (with the rail has not been cut to a certain length on the left side so as not to cause injury when tensioning rifle shooter) .

G3M rifle has a modified trigger mechanism, a much better, more smooth operation. Furthermore, the muzzle provided a new, much more efficient muzzle brake. This way a single shooter firing much faster can guide the weapon to the target again. In addition, POF has developed two variants of front grip - fixed and rotary three positions (vertical and inclined at 45 ° to the front and back). For now, the army ordered the first 7 thousand. G3M of butts extensible with additional intermediate position, used when shooting from vehicles.
The military plans of the G3A3 rifle adapted to a similar standard, but with fixed and telescopic rifle butts. This last solution is to enable soldiers to conduct fire even when the flask up to the summary, which often takes place during the ambush. Unfortunately, the strong cartridge rifle, shooting G3M with stock rod fully retracted is only a waste of ammunition. POF not yet introduced a telescopic flask (with a movable foot moving on the sleeve of the guide), but it has to be one of the available commercial models on the market. Ultimately, all used by the Pakistani army rifles to be adapted to the standard G3M.
POF also presented in Istanbul slightly modified universal machine gun MG3. Also in that case the rejection of the amplifier characteristic there is a new output unit, performing the role of the exhaust brake. This solution allows you to have the ukaemu much more accurate fire while slightly decreases recoil. It is worth noting that due to the delays associated with the introduction of the weapons successor MG3 in Germany, it is the POF took part in the modernization of 2.2 thousand. German ukaemów this type.
