Nah, they can just make a belt fed LMG. Like a Pika. It is essentially an AKM upper turned upside down and feed system is modified. Plus, 5.56mm is way better for LMG role as ot is lighter, enabling the carrying of more ammo. CRPF already use a mixture of X-95 and AKs so I don't think there'll be a logistical issue beyond what is already there.
Z 10 Z15 , the AR -15 inspired and essentially different from an AK. How many have you inducted so far in last couple of years ?
This is not denial. I didn't dispute which system is better. These are the conclusions that are based on the experience of 6 years of war. At the beginning, they used everything that shoots. Therefore, you can see both the Maxim machine gun and the MG-34. At the beginning of the war, the special forces actually used Fort-221 (Tavor 5.45), but during operation, the weapon turned out to be rather capricious. Therefore, we returned to the Kalashnikov system. The system itself is not devoid of a margin of modernization, so it cannot be denied, only on the basis of conclusions about the AKM.
In your previous post you outright denied the use of Israeli weapon despite license building it. Anyway..
Not AK, but SVD. These are three rifles per platoon. How much is produced - there is no open information, but it often comes across in photographs.
PKT is already license produced at OFT, and so is Bren. Customer is only army. However for the police forces, getting 7.62*54 ammo of Pika is even more difficult. Since they are already inducting AK based rifles like Ghatak and TAR, and Insas is rarely ordered nowadays. hence a LMG chambered on 7.62*39 mm like RPK is essential for the state forces, for logistical reason rather than Insas LMG. Insas LMG is already there and rarely ordered by state police forces. Based on their demand, OFB has also come out with a carbine version of TAR. Also, as some members pointed that that state police forces are looking for a less bulky weapon compared to Bren.
I won't go further into it but Galil is AK derivative, better built and you conveniently trashed it in the very first post and praised Aks
I meant that a 5.56mm on the lines on the Pika is designed. Plus 7.62mm is shit choice for LMG. NATO, Soviet or Rimmed Russian. A LMG is a light support weapon, which means it needs to lay down suppressing fire in large volumes. Not possible with 7.62mm due to both low rate of fire and weight of ammo which makes it hard to carry enough ammo (maybe 500-600 rds) to be effective. Why does anyone need an TAR style LMG? Also how did PKT come into the picture??
Bushmaster ACR has its own set of issues. And why go for something like that in the first place. Not worth the money at all. It isn't nearly as modular or reliable as an AR-15, let alone the MCX platform.
I think ACR is a better alternative to the FN SCAR in general!!! Plus it's 100% American product.
The Nightforce ATACR 1-8x, Vortex Razor Gen III and SIG TANGO6 1-6x are better options IMO. The first two would be the best.
1-8x is next level!!! Can it be used in a DMR role by modifying FN FAL??
ACR has been discontinued long ago due to unknown reasons despite being an instant hit in civilian market in the United States. Same with SiG-516.
FN FAL? No... The gun itself isn't accurate enough (3.5-4 MOA) with ball ammo.. Maybe 2-2.5 MOA with match ammo. A DMR should be less than 1.5 MOA, at least. We have Dragunov and Sig 716i that are capable of that accuracy with match ammo. Sig 716i should be effective out to 600-700m with 1-8 or 1-10 optic. 800m with Dragunov.
