Screw SCAR, pick EBR!!!

No, I'm being serious. The M14 in the photo is beautiful:smitten: and its modern versions are a beast that the US military has been using in Afghanistan as their 5.56 rifles lack power and range in the Afghan theater.

It's also got a marksman variant, the M39

The problem with the EBR is that it's as heavy as the SCAR Mod 20:o:

As far as the actual competition to replace the G3 goes, I'm pulling for none of the weapons. I feel there's better choices out there.

Does this gun works in all weathers ? From plain hot desert areas to High altitude extremely low temperatures ? Like One ring to rule all

Most modern ones do, or can be acclimatized like the HK416N:

But yes, the M14 EBR has seen action in a wide variety of climates and was used by US forces in both Iraq and Afghanistan:

Including by the 10th Mountain Division, who's responsibility is, as their name suggests, mountain warfare.

It works where ever the US military needs it to.

If we Buying Helis from Italy then my two cents it would be Italian Rifle expect a big deal here with italy .
No helicopters deal is not connected with Gun. We would select the Gun which passes our tests. But I can see Frigates and Air Defence systems coming from Italy.
