I reckon they will go the upgrade route for now and eventually the A3.Cost too much to modify the ROPS,stores containers,LTAV's etc.

"Let us be clear about three facts. First, all battles and all wars are won in the end by the infantryman. Secondly, the infantryman always bears the brunt. His casualties are heavier, he suffers greater extremes of discomfort and fatigue than the other arms. Thirdly, the art of the infantryman is less stereotyped and far harder to acquire in modern war than that of any other arm." ------- Field Marshall Wavell, April 1945.

If I was youngish serving soldier with a likelihood of deployment to afghanistan or similar . I would wish for a 7.62 Nato upgrade .. But as I am not and will most probably only be carrying small stuff for my very close protection in the forseeable future then a 7.62 inter would do . Dont know if u could have a 7.62 version of a bullpup ,probably not

From what I seen, all it does it eject the round into that ejection tube and the force of ejection forces it down the tube, so the following rounds push the previous rounds out the tube.Don't stand there GAWPING, like you've never seen the hand of God BEFORE!!

The FN was a great wepon only problem being it was too big and okward and a bit on the heavey side i had left the army before the steyer came into service but have heard it is very relibale. Anyone got any ideas if the steyer is being replaced on bringing in the Heckler an Koch MP7 as far as i know it's chambered to fire 5.56.Last edited by seven.sixtwo; 15 June 2010, 03:06.
What good is in youth when it's ageing what joy are in eyes that cant see when there's sorrow in sunshine and flowers and only our rivers run free.

I think your thinking of something else.
Do you mean the Hk416?

Would the DF consider moving away from a bullpup design, I wonder ?
What about the HK G3 ? Good enough for the Germans.... ?"Well, stone me! We've had cocaine, bribery and Arsenal scoring two goals at home. But just when you thought there were truly no surprises left in football, Vinnie Jones turns out to be an international player!" (Jimmy Greaves)!"
