I've always wondered why our SFs don't go after Brügger & Thomet APC series of rifles in 5.56 NATO // 7.62 NATO in place of all these SCAR and HK416-ish rifles (in name of SIG516) or so,

i mean both H&K and FN are messing around with us in name of all muh daanav adhikaar reee then just get firearms from a "neutral" nation like Switzerland that's been going along nice with us. Swiss sold us tonnes of SIG550 series rifles (551/552/553/556) and B&T MP9 machine pistol-SMGs in good numbers...heck MP9 has turned into de-facto replacement SMG for those 9mm "Carbines" in many units.

APC308 in .308/7.62x51mm NATO in two different barrel configurations, with longer one could be used as a DMR rifle

As one can see it's fully ambidextrous rifle with ambi fire selector,magazine releases and even bolt catches (above mag releases), feeds from STANAG // SR-25 pattern mags in respective calibers, has full length top rail and rails on 3-6-9 positions and a length-adjustable+folding buttstock.
