Bullpup weapons discussion

[Arsalan]

G-3 is a ShiT rifle ...the firs time i fired it ...it blocked my right ear ...the second fire ...and it blocked my left one ...after i finished the whole damn mag ...they were blocked even then ...it kicks like a nasty mule ...better to fire a cannon than a stupid G-3 !

It have killer power, there is a reason Pakistan army is still persisting with this. They opted to make modification to make it lighter but still are using it.

Yes, and the 556 is useless beyond 300 meters! We should try going for the 6.5x39 instead of the 5.56. The Grendel 6.5x39 is a balanced round between the 7.62 and the 5.56

That means an essentially new system, totally different ammunition. Manufacturing of that ammunition will cost millions of extra dollars. Also being different from two most common calibers it will mean next to no chance for any sales, will take decades before this new 6.5 x 39 is common and during that if it fails the whole projects will be canceled. Best stick to the existing 7.62 and seems PA is in full agreement with this

PA should have opted for FN FAL instead of G-3 ...You cannot just switch to another weapon if you have distributed among more than half a million soldiers ...all you will be doing is to to modifications here and there ...

Well. This is a Soviet era SKS carbine converted to Bullpup, what do you say to this :

FN FAL

FN FAL is heavier and larger than the G3! Also, the G3 is proven to be better than the FN FAL many times. Why would they degrade their gun?

Here is an Iranian DIO G3-A3 Bullpup:

Interesting design! Imagine the kick that thing must give.

Actually recoil on bullpups is lower than conventional pattern. And there are other bullpups in 7.62 x 51 like the Keltec RFB (although it's a POS)

No serious shooter would pick it up as a weapon of choice.

Why not?

Keltec RFB

The RFB is more of a DMR type of thing. This G3 Bullup looks like it was designed for CQC.
If the G3 bullpup is in 7.62, It's a bad idea. If it's in 5.56, It's a good idea. I think it is the latter due to the curved HK53 Mag in the picture.

The Iranians make alot of silly stuff which most of the time have no practical use, But they gain experience from that. And after making alot of silly and usless stuff, they come up with something badass like this 12.7mm Gatling gun "Muharram"

Kel Tec RFB james a lot and it has a lot of kick as compared to other bullpups ...!
Why not?

FN FAL vs H&K G3 (IA vs PA)

TAVOR outclass most (if not all) bullpup rifles, reason being its modular, rate of fire,chrome lining barrel,maintenance and ergonomics.

Its locally manufactured variant under licence "zittara"

Zitara with paramilitary

Tavor with SF

It's a knockoff of the NORINCO CQ-A rifle, converted into bullpup. Not really special.

The G-3 is used as more of a marksman weapon these days.

Coming up with a bullpup variant of the G-3 is crazy.

Sanctions had one key positive impact on Iran. And that is know how to make stuff by itself.
