To be honest, I can only speculate. I would imagine so considering that a new 7.62x39mm design would provide valuable benefits in terms of reduced weight. But the majority of the designs that were being evaluated initially were 7.62x51mm (with AK-103 and BREN-2 being x39).@Bilal Khan (Quwa)
Correct me if I'm wrong, but the current competitions is for two calibers, right? This would indicate that both the G3 battle rifle, and its current standard issue assault rifle are being replaced. If that's the case, the Type 56 is already been considered for replacement by this very competition.
