Because we weren't fighting a full-fledged insurgency back then! The G-3 is ideal for conventional warfare but CQB and Room Clearance besides other aspects of LIC don't usually agree with the G-3. However, that's covered. The Type-56C are doing fine for now and will be replaced by a similar rifle. The G-3 on the other hand is undergoing a cosmetic and functional upgrade. Complete with retractable butt, picatinny rails (Over and under), new stalk and flash suppressor. That should help extend the rifles life!
Hmmmn...that sounds about right ! Reading some of the posts or rather most of the posts it came across as if the Army was going to replace the G-3 as Pakistan's battle rifle with something else. It appears the word 'alternative' suggested in the title rings more true than I had anticipated...apologies !
