They ordered before us, in Paris.

Burma has ordered FC1 not JF17

in laymans terms burmese jets will be coming out of Chinese production lines with 100% Chinese components except for the engine and maybe the ejection seat.

Henry240:


Deathmachine has cleared this one up. He said himself as well as his colleagues are satisfied with it.

The FN-FAL should go to that role of DMR.

I read somewhere(I think it was Defenceweb and a few other sites) that Zimbabwe is also interested in acquiring the FC1 "fighting Dragon"

Odunayaw:

I hope DICON produces 5.56 too cuz the Tavor is here to stay

hopefully I would prophecy more things to b built

Confirmation biase, hence irrelevant

One platform, multiple roles, means logistical superiority and simplified training practices. Would you also like different guns for the carbine and SAW role?

Nomenclature, the JF-17 is a Chinese plane, we all know this.

Odunayaw:

No, it's Pakistani

Hence it has a different name and is sold by a different company

nemesis2u:


in Myanmars case it is politics , they don't see eye to eye with p*******

Patchesagain:


The army held trials for the beryl?

Because the pols are in the process of abandoning it (FB MSBS)

Henry240:


Over the Rohingya issue. I'm sure.

Henry240:
Watch NDA cadets murder it.

Well as it happens, the Nigerian army would order 90k rifles top. There are other things we should be producing ,rifles shouldn't be one of them.

There are simply so many good choices available. If country A says no to a sale, we simply move to country G, that's how widely available rifles are.

Not so much for heavy equipment, APC and ammo which takes time to deliver. We should straighten up our priorities.

Anyway, we'll all wait and see how the production line progresses. However what is actual fact is the M762 Beryl would be made in Nigeria.

I agree for a production line for the Tavor-21 round.

Henry what's your take on radio coms manufacturing in Nigeria?

giles14:
that's great. at least encrypted and +150km range

tdayof:


Henry what's your take on radio coms manufacturing in Nigeria?

tdayof:



DAMN lol.. 150km range. Shiit is too much for a handheld Radio coms to carry.
They can communicate with base stations. However he backpack radio should be able to pick up to 32-50km and communication depends on terrain.

giles14:
its too much,it can be done.

just believe.

Henry240:


Dude, give it a rest. The guy who uses it confirms he is okay with it. He also confirms his mates share the same view. That's all that matters.

We already have the FAL in huge numbers. Adding polymer and a scope would improve general efficiency and outlay instead of simply discarding them.

For SAW, the platform is already uniform, with units taking in more modern and lighter variants but all still chambered in the usual 7.62x39mm.

Pictured below.

Henry240:


You make the Galil in South Africa and call it the R4, it doesn't mean it's not a Galil, it is still a Galil.

Odunayaw:
if it could hold its own since 2015 without being a pain in d patella
then who cares if the poles abandon it

Patchesagain:


1. Still confirmation bias, he hasn't handled anything else to compare it to. If you had been driving a 30 year old beetle you would think a 20 year old VW polo was just fine

2. PKM is a GPMG not a SAW, RPD and RPK are 7.62 SAWs both are obsolete.

3. Accurized FALs are only a stop-gap solution. Most military grade FALs get an M.O.A of 3, at best, (realistically we are talking 6) their bolt assemblys are too tight, free-floating the barrel doesn't help because of the piston and then there is the fact that most barrels have had thousands of rounds through them - they will never be tight enough for accuracy. To truly accurized it you would have to have a skilled gunsmith spend hours and hours on each individual gun.
