Good summary on SCAR vs AR - from the horse's mouth @abingdonboy @rkhanna @Johny_Baba

:facepalm:

Okay guys...been away from small arms programs for a while. Can anyone tell me what's the status of the 5.56x45 carbine tender? The previous one was cancelled and the new one was to have MII clause, we talked about potential bidders, concluding that IWI Carmel or perhaps some new product from...

Interestingly, the 'ledged' fire selector is now omitted from the 200-series

Turns out the regulars are not replacing X95. ARAD will go on to become standard for SOFs though.

Apparently, Israel will be retiring Tavors from IDF infantry units, and will be replacing them with, hold you breath.... ...the AR-15 (IWI ARAD). https://www.jns.org/after-a-mere-decade-idf-retires-futuristic-tavor-rifle/ I'll wait for more details but as per this source, Tavors will be...

Outdated models, sh!tty quality, exorbitant prices. What else is new in OFB?

Slightly off topic, but still 'tactical' related in a way... Got my hands on Armasen's 35Ltr Assault Backpack...been intending to build a Bug-out Bag for quite a while, was looking around at materials & the 1000D Nylon that Armasen was using for this was worth the buck. A military/law...

In service, our 203s will probably look similar to this config: (^^ that example is 5.45 AK-74 but other than the mag, rest all is pretty much the same between 545 & 762) > Non-standard vertical/angled grips of some kind (ProMag PM007, FAB TFL etc are some models seen with likes of RR and...

Wut AK103/203 as well as the old Krinkov stocks all fold to the left, not right. Far as I know, only some variants like the MPi-KMS fold to the right...and those wireframe stocks are shaped in order to not obstruct the fire selector as much as possible.

On the topic of free floating, an opinion from someone with a lot more knowledge & hands-on experience with firearms & their design than me: " You cannot free float a long-stroke piston gun. Period. Recall free body diagrams from high school? For free-floating a barrel, you basically have no...

Do you recall the noises made by Pakistanis that they were all but signed on to a deal with the Polish for rifles :daru: like the whole SCAR fiasco it too faded away.

This was statement from more than 2 years ago. I had tweeted exact same words (from translation) in 2019. Much has happened since then and right now what we need to know is that the latest known configuration of Indian AK-203 will be like this, as was shown in DEFEXPO last year: But even...

They already tried MCIWS and failed. Designing firearms, way I see it, is not a job for scientists but rather a skill of workmanship. In a country that values getting a worthless degree over developing an actual skill, that is hard to come by. But for skills to develop, first there needs to be...

Gen-2 ACE

If you're looking at a service rifle in large numbers, I wouldn't rank any AR higher than HK416 - because no other AR has seen as much action as it has, and no other has been as consistently been refined into better & better variants with quirks being ironed out. And to top it off, HK quality...

Basically, a heads-up display that shows maps, waypoints, digital night vision, etc. https://sofrep.com/news/the-armys-ultimate-heads-up-display-the-ivas/
