The RDF only just got the steyr. At least give us the chance to break a few before you get rid of them.
Seriously though, if it was to be replaced it would be replaced with the g36k, at least if I was in charge.
Frankly I'd rather see the GMPG replaced with a lighter system for section fsgIt is only by contemplation of the incompetent that we can appreciate the difficulties and accomplishments of the competent.

Originally posted by mugsYea but what with. The brits have had problems with their minimis, 2 squaddies have been killed in training with them.
And we're talking about rifles, not MG's. Everyone stay on-topic."The dolphins were monkeys that didn't like the land, walked back to the water, went back from the sand."

Just thinking, considering irish troops operate wif swedish troops overseas alot and talk of them becoming members of the same european battlegroup then why not replace the steyr wif the ak5.Last edited by mugs; 25 June 2005, 05:36.Theirs not to make reply,

One thing that troubles me about the bullpup nature of the Steyr is that if you're firing around a right hand corner, you have to expose your entire body (or get a faceful of hot brass), thus leaving you wide open to be slotted by any semicunning badguy who has realised that people need to come around that corner. Theoretically, of course.

The FN F2000 is a truly ambidextrous bullpup, the spent casings are ejected at the front of the weapon allowing it to be fired from either shoulder without modification.
The bullpup design must still be considered viable by manufacturers, given the number of designs out there. Apart from the AUG, SA80 & Famas, there is the Israeli Tavor (being adopted by the IDF & trialed by Croatia) Singapore's SAR-21, a South African and a Chinese rifle. The South African rifle was due to be adopted but budget cuts shelved it."The dolphins were monkeys that didn't like the land, walked back to the water, went back from the sand."
