Pakistan's Service Rifle (G-3, Type-56) Replacement Competition 2016.

[DESERT FIGHTER]

Wonder what's going on with the PK18 development

 

[Scorpiooo]

Questions, if local G-3 "modernization" failed. Then why haven't we tried to emulate (copy) foreign upgrades to the G-3s?

Picture is from the Norwegians.
Even the most well established weapon companies have straight up copied. Example the Galil which is a direct copy of the Valmet.
Or even this is too much to ask from the uncles running our industries

Do uncle of POF cares for anything except there pockets

Pakistan should look into this approach.

G3 size is a huge problem. Plus its weight plus its jamming issues. Plus its rate of fire. Only thing it's great is accuracy.

you can make your own within few months if you have the motive for better platform except your lot think it has to be indias way since there's a big commission to someones pocket its corruption that killing us third world nations just it happened in Iraq yesterday

That’s actually LMG round on automatic fire, the Ammo purchased from SiG got finished in a Year and now Army is using the LMG round for them. Which has more recoil but more kinetic energy.

7.62x51 NATO used in rifles, sniper rifles, machine guns alike, it’s not a dedicated LMG round. G3 uses it as well. He just had rather poor recoil control for the rather powerful round.

Well it was fired on auto and if you would shoot it in auto for the first time, the recoil will come as a surprise. And the LMG round the OFB makes is different from the one made by SiG.

what are you saying, there is no specific differentiation of a LMG 7.62x51, Bolt Rifle or Battle Rifle. Grains and charge are always same for LMG and Battle Rifle ( 147 grain FMJ M80 ball) and Bolt guns mostly use (175 grain M118 Long)....there is a difference but not as drastic!

India has a boat load of 7.62x51 and makes its own ammo....as a matter of fact even the poorest and the most ill-equipped nation make their own ammo, buying ammo from sig is BS sig can barely keep its civilian market afloat let alone military's.

Recoil is not that bad for a bigger guy...muzzle brakes does the trick the sig above appears to have no muzzle brake and the shooter appears to be of a smaller build. Why on earth would India go for 7.62 x 51 is out of my mind as the general build of its army is below world average height.

It’s not about build but about shoot to kill capability, they are more habituated to the intermediate cratridge of Assault Rifles.
