Any possible replacement for G-3?

[Zabaniyah]

We know that Bangladesh Ordinance factory manufactures the German designed G-3 battle rifle.

But, the thing is it is getting old. Turkey already replaced it. And maybe Pakistan might do the same.

BOF currently manufactures Type-56s (AK-47 copy) and Type-81 variants (BD-08).

So, any ideas of a good replacement for the G-3?

Well i think BD-08 is quite a capable rifle...we can run with it for some years to come.

However, we should make M-4 someday...


Cheers!!!

The Type-81 is not new. It is a 1960's design in fact. The M-4 use 5.56 mm NATO rounds, which I doubt we make. Also, the M-4 isn't too new either

My bad, Type-81 is 1980s design.

What about any rifle manf in China? As BD and China are close partners now, BD can get good technology production from China too.

You mean the QBZ-95? That uses the 5.8x42mm bullets. We don't manufacture those. And I do not think we manufacture 5.56 mm NATO rounds either.

The investments for the required infrastructure would be huge in case of the QBZ-95 which use a completely different bullet.

That's why I recommend the FN SCAR-H, whose ammo we already produce for the G-3.
