Nor do they need to portray being the worlds superpower with the latest high tech gear We've got a bunch of international students in the school I am going to. It's interesting to see that several of them have militaries smaller than the population of many US military bases. Many countries have re-thought the role of their military, see no immediate threat from their neighbor, and aren't in the mood to project power throughout the world. Regarding the outdated equipment....I still have the LBE I put together as a private. While I've moved on to better things, the LBE still works. |

Sweden may or may not still be issuing AK4s to the home guard? We still use them. A new carbine will be fielded around 2020 and will replace both the AK4 and AK5. We don't know what carbine will be chosen since the trials will start in 2018, but the SCAR, HK416 and G36 are believed to be the top contenders. |

It seems the G3 design has something over the FAL.

Notice that all the countries who could afford it used FALs (except us of course). Not entirely true. Mexico and Turkey replaced the FAL with the G3 for the most part as did Germany. As did Sweden. The FAL was issued in small numbers as AK1, an indigenous rifle was tested and designated as AK2 and 3, but eventually the G3 won and was designated as AK4 with almost half a million being made in Sweden. |

Most Turkish units who would see any sort of combat have HK33's available to them. In some cases AK47's too. But yeah, G3 is still standard issue. Hk ceased manufacturing the g3 and hk33 ages ago. Where so they get replacement parts or new rifles? Does Pakistan still have a plant? MKE is still making them in Turkey. |

M4's aren't relics, son. M16A2's are relics. Someone will be by shortly to call me "son" and tell me about A1's and M14's.

The rumor I heard was the Brazilian military wanted M-16s, like many of their National Guard (think Trupa de Elite) and SOF dudes carry, and were told, no. I think that all the Baltic states transitioned to 5.56 rifles for the regulars. Not the Estonians. The 5.56 Galil is their standard rifle. The various G3s, and others are not standard A. |
