Yes but Pakistan is also looking to replace MG3 and for that MINIMI 7.62 X 51 are most favorite
Doubt that.
MG3 is an excellent machine gun.

I had also no idea that we could have been thinking of replacing MG 3 anytime soon it's one MOD of this forum who broke the news to me that not only Assault Rifles are being tested but Pakistan is also testing HandGuns and Machine Guns.Doubt that.
MG3 is an excellent machine gun.
Agreed.Mg3 is good in fixed palcement or vehicle mounted but not for dismounted troops, too heavy and big by today's std.
thats a Beretta ARX200!
Agreed.
MG3 had it's place in history, but it's time to move on. It's more of a liability now to infantry, than an asset.
That is exactly what we are doing MG 3 will remain in service but where it could be placed stationery for fire support but on section level lighter machine Gun is needed.Eh, I look at it as a usage issue. It's big and cumbersome making it great as a fixed gun emplacement or ship self defense weapon, but poor for maneuver warfare or supporting fast moving infantry. As such you typically see it used in such a manner.
No one's going around firing the damn thing from the hip like a 30 cal Stinger.
For supporting infantry assaults, lighter weapons are always going to be preferred.
The gun is fine. How it's being used needs to be reexamined and a shift in tactical usage reassessed.
That said for infantry support I whole heartedly support a shift towards a lighter more portable weapon like the FN Minimi.

Meanwhile Pak special forces are already using minis.Eh, I look at it as a usage issue.

Are you sure that is the ARX-200 ? 2nd or 3rd rifle (starting from SCAR) is a Minimi. I have seen a report debating it's presence among the weapons shown to former COAS.
BTW, I just saw the below pic of a CZ 807 from IDEAS 2016. Look what is written in the background.

Pakistan is pretty much using both Type 56 and G3 as standard Assault Rifles.@TheOccupiedKashmir So CZ-806 Bren 2 type modified CZ-807 has been selected to replace Type-56? Is Pakistan going to use it as Assault Rifle i.e. in border areas as Type-56 is the standard Assault Rifle of Army?
that is ARX200 and a Italian guy from Beretta is standing in front of him infact there is a video and pics of that table in the pinned thread.Are you sure that is the ARX-200 ? 2nd or 3rd rifle (starting from SCAR) is a Minimi.

Well the cz that guy is holding is 807 in 7.62x39 for sure, based on the curved mag. The chart does say the ammo is 7.62x51 but doesnt specify the gun ... could be scar h, arx200 or g3 or even your speculated bren 2 in 7.62x51. Cant say anything for sure ... to me it looks like the rifle name should be written on the chart, but gun seems to be in the way.Are you sure that is the ARX-200 ? 2nd or 3rd rifle (starting from SCAR) is a Minimi.
