Pakistan's Special Operations Forces: SSG | SSGN | SSW | SOW | SOG

[blain2]

Assalam-o-Alaikum brothers! I have a question, if some experienced or well informed person can answer.... Can an Engineer in the Pak Army join SSG? like, after doing BE in their respective discipline & passing out as Captain after 1 year training at PMA Kakul, can an engg. volunteer to join SSG?

Yes they can. As long as they are medically fit and have 18-24 month service. On the second condition, there may be some changes, but the answer to your question is yes.

thanks Gen. blain2! one more thing i want to ask, when the Engineers finally pass out from PMA after 5 years, they have the same same seniority as the ones who joined the corresponding PMA Long Course with them instead of TCC, is the 24 month period included in seniority as well? which is a pre-requisite for joining the SSG.. can they directly volunteer for SSG as Capt. after passing out?

They will get an ante-date seniority which would be at par with the date when the corresponding long-course went into PMA for training, but dont worry, you would be thoroughly rubbed in PMA and wont think much of this seniority business.

why not SSG given special type pf guns why old AK 47 AK 47 till now has more fire power and won many battles over american guns but times have changed american 6.55MM Grendal same as M 16 same range and more range tham M 16 and more fire power than AK 47 must check it out

No one uses the 6.55 and it's too expensive to adopt in numbers by Pakistan. SSG are already using a wide variety of weapons from H&K MP5 to M4 carbine. SSG have no issues with small arms, but I think the regular forces are due an upgrade from the G-3 and Type 56. At least our Type 56 have proven to be reliable and superior to anything in northern areas and Kashmir. G-3 proves useful in open long range engagements but I am not sure how well they fair in the desert with all the sand. Many of the POF G3 I've seen have been of low quality. Same goes for the locally produced MG3, they just don't seem precise like the factory HK products. MP5 are pretty decent though.

 

[Super Falcon]

yes G 3 definately due to be replaced with equally matched new contander what weapon do you think is good to replace our old G 3 Rifle this rifle can be its succesor.

so what do you think of our Type 56 Norinco made how do you compare it with original AK 47 what you think is better Type 56 or AK 47 in my opinion i think Type 56 lacks may be im worng if im correct me

Type-47 is an upgraded AK-47 better accuracy,range etc... but we r using SMG which is an upgraded variant of type 56.
Made by POF its a little heavier then type 56 but its accuracy,range and other features are improved.

This weapon is made by POF upgraded with an 800 $ day n night AIM COM sight, and modular rail forend, rail covers,front grip.

The differences are that the Type 56 has a closed circle front sight,
and no muzzle break. Also they have a folding bayonet or no bayonet. AK has detachable bayonet. Here is some facts from a website regarding the differences. I've had both rifles and I prefer the lighter and cheaper Type 56. They are pretty much the same thing.

Both the guns have similar dimensions but the AK-56 assault rifle is a bit lighter, weighing 3.8 kg compared to the 4.3 kg weight of the AK-47 rifle. They both use 7.62 mm cartridges and have a 30 round feed system meaning that one magazine can hold up to 30 bullets. The AK-47 is also compatible with a 40 round box or 75 round drum magazine. Here the box and drum refers to the shape of the magazine. Both of them have a gas-operated, rotating bolt firing action. Gas-operated loading action uses the pressure of gas inside the cartridge to eject the spent case and mount a new cartridge. They both have a maximum effective range of about 400 metres. The AK-47 is very soldier friendly and can be used in any possible condition, even underwater and under mud. Its simple design and high reliability makes it one of the most highly produced weapons in the world.

The only visible difference between the AK-47 and the AK-56 is that the AK-56 has a fully enclosed, hooded front sight whereas the AK-47 sports a partially enclosed front sight. Some versions of the AK-56 also have a folding spike bayonet whereas the AK-47 has a detachable knife bayonet. Apart from these it is almost impossible to visually distinguish between the rifles.

The AK-47 rifle is produced in many countries including Germany, Poland, Israel, and North Korea and even in the USA. But finding an original and genuine AK-47 is rather difficult these days. The AK-56 rifles were the standard weapon of the Chinese military until the 1980s. Many other countries and liberation groups use the AK-56.

I would like to see the next generation battle rifle produced by POF. There should be a full size version and a lighter, shorter assault version for special purposes and a squad assist version, perhaps even a marksman rifle of the same internal mechanisms. Many rifles fall in this category it just comes down to cost. Pakistan military is going to squeeze another few decades out of the current weapons like G3 and the assorted Steyr AUG, M4, MP5 and so on.

They have replacement choices from all the major gun manufacturers. I would choose FN SCAR system. Produce the Heavy version for regular soldiers to keep the advantages of the big 7.62x51 round. Add a long range scope for marksmen. Give forward units, police and paramilitary the smaller 5.56 version. Perhaps down the road better options will open up. So far though POF and military are content. I would like to see some changes. The SSG soldier in the picture above is a good sign of some change.

Pakistan Zindabad mp5a3 is the standard CQB weapon of Pak army which is being replaced by SMG (POF).
