    Actually, he is right. You are talking about ammo counting in training scenario. However, operational stuff is much different. Quite often, troops will cite higher ammunition spent than the actual amount, so that the remainder can be utilised later without showing anything officially. If we...

    IMO biggest advantage of negev over PKM is the feeding mechanism. Since it only takes up a small space, it can have optics rails on the receiver instead of top cover, leading to higher accuracy.

    Minor changes AKM has grooves in piston for better seal, removed in AK-103 for ease of manufacture. AKM and AK-103 have different size of bolt stem different muzzle break few other minor changes, AK-103 is basically an attempt to standardise the production line of all members of AK family.

    Hmm. I had read it was religious indoctrination, so had assumed it was the usual stuff. Interesting to note.

    Just to point out, the basij were originally crazy suicide mine clearers (literally clearing mines by exploding them with their bodies, to allow rest of the troops to march over them. Same old "paradise hoors" idea). Nowadays the ones roaming around on bikes are those used to terrorise people...

    Bikes will never be used on a battlefeild. They have good utility as personnel carriers for remote areas with poor access, but else it is suicidal to ride into battle on a bike. Bikes are very unsafe as is, under duress we will loose as many to accidents as to enemy fire.

    Yeah got to say, navy blue isnt the ideal camo unless they want to go deep sea diving and hunt there... Without diving equipment ofcourse, that would spoil the camo 😋.

    Are you being sarcastic? Because IMO an AK is decent for a force specifically created for CI/CT.

    Not really, more of a gimmick. Something like glock 43 is in the same size range, except you dont have to suddenly whip out your "phone", unfold it and then shoot the other guy. As for assassinations, using guns nowadays is not that common for professionals (IDK about street thug killings, but...

    To be fair, if used with an optic, accuracy is sufficient till ~400 meters. Beyond that bhagwaan bharose, maybe harrassing fire but you wont hit much. 9 Hole reviews had some tests on AK103+optic, similar should be out of AK-203.

    This is IRRLP incompetency at best, that is literally AK 103. Even the dumbest guy wouldnt buy that when deal was made for 203, and while our MOD might drop some things, they cant be dumb enough to drop all.

    We have the extended lip IG, but not the collapsing buttstock (fine by me, it seems to have issues with QD placement anyway)

    Lmao the top rail is plastic stuck to metal, which has warped already. :pound: What an easy and cheap way to convert AK103 to 203, why didnt we think of this /s.

    yeah the mag variant mounted on a tripod.

    MMG is an outdated word that is no longer in general use - We still use it for a machine gun that is tripod mounted for use in bunkers etc, but firing same ammo as GMPG. Most militaries have just GMPG and HMG, we have tripod mounted mags for ground troops too in emplaced positions.

    The whole NGSW was a big risk IMO, reduces logistics by a lot but forces the army back into same situation as in Veitnam where they lacked suppressing fire.

    To be fair, that seems like artillery rifling, in gun barrels its lot less number of grooves, sometimes as low as 3-4.
