Gen. Kayani tests his shooting skills during his visit to witness ongoing training for Small Arms Firing at Mehfooz Shaheed Garrison Lahore.
He is not testing his shooting skills, he is testing the new POF made variant of G-3. "Army has decided to spruce up the G-3 platform with having picatinny rail and other accessories to be installed on it to maximize its accuracy and user-friendliness." - XYON.

From the above image, the newer version of G-3 is quite apparent which the Army Chief is testing.

You can see the hand grip just showing below the Chief's forward hand, it looks they are going to go with what the Norway G-3 looks like. I am not sure if the PA newly testing G-3 has folding stock or fixed stock butt.
Norway soldier with upgraded G-3. Looks cool.

No PR227/2012-ISPR Dated: October 10, 2012
Rawalpindi - October 10, 2012:
Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Ashfaq Parvez Kayani, visited CMH Peshawar, today, to oversee the treatment being given to Malala Yousafzai and to meet her family.
COAS strongly condemned this heinous act of terrorism. He said, the cowards who attacked Malala and her fellow students, have shown time and again how little regard they have for human life and how low they can fall in their cruel ambition to impose their twisted ideology. This is not the first time they have targeted children, the attack on Parade Lane, Rawalpindi is a painful reminder of their bloodlust. They have no respect even for the golden words of the prophet (PBUH) that “the one who is not kind to children, is not amongst us”. Such inhuman acts clearly expose the extremist mindset the Nation is facing.
In attacking Malala, the terrorist have failed to grasp that she is not only an individual, but an icon of courage and hope, who vindicates the great sacrifices that the people of Swat and the nation gave, for wresting the valley from the scourge of terrorism. She has become a symbol for the values that the Army, with the nation behind it, is fighting to preserve for our future generations. These are the intrinsic values of an Islamic society, based on the principles of liberty, Justice and equality of man. Islam guarantees each individual – male or female – equal and inalienable rights to life, property and human dignity, with faith and education as the chief obligations to achieve enlightenment. We wish to bring home a simple message: WE REFUSE TO BOW BEFORE TERROR. WE WILL FIGHT, REGARDLESS OF THE COST, WE WILL PREVAIL INSHA ALLAH.
COAS re-emphasised that the terrorists underestimate the resolve and resilience of the people of Pakistan. It is time we further unite and stand up to fight the propagators of such barbaric mindset and their sympathizers.

Challenges of modern war
October 22, 2012
The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee (CJCSC), General Khalid Shamim Wynne, has warned that unless our future military leadership were to adopt the emerging trends in modern warfare, the country would face a serious threat to its independence and sovereignty. His words: “We are living in an era of rapid technological advancement and future military leadership will find itself at a loss if they fail to keep pace with evolving trends.” He was addressing the passing out parade at the Kakul Military Academy on Saturday. General Wynne’s warning is not misplaced at all. Every age brings in its own challenges and the warfare is no exception, as the military strategists and experts keep devising ever new ways to defeat the enemy, with the lead provided by the latest scientific and technological inventions. The General, however, maintained that Pakistan was a peace-loving country and was eager to see peace prevail at the international level; for, that would be conducive to the country’s own stability. Beyond doubt, peace holds the key to any activity that could usher in an era of better and brighter future for the nation.
The terrorist phenomenon is one that Pakistan has suffered most at the hands of. Where the problem is found at home, so too is the solution. To discuss issues related to this war, now 11 years old, Marc Grossman, US Special Representative on Afghanistan and Pakistan, has come to Pakistan and met Foreign Minister Hina Rabbani Khar and COAS General Ashfaq Parvez Kayani on Saturday. He stated that launching an operation in North Waziristan was for the government of Pakistan, “solely for the government of Pakistan” to decide. Indeed that is so, but the lack of a clear decision from our own government and military top hierarchy is making the confusion worse, while offering no hope for a solution to the problem. It is admitted by all in decision making circles that a military challenge to terrorists wherever they exist, must be issued, or the prospect of more tragedies like the attack on Malala borne. A resolution was tabled in the National Assembly by the government but was aborted by the PML-N questioning that if the culprits had come from Afghanistan (the fugitive Maulvi Fazlullah outfit) there was no logic in moving into the NWA. Hopefully, both the political and military leaderships will take cognizance of the situation before making any decision. But, the decision is becoming more and more obvious to those who fear for the future of Pakistan if we don’t take necessary steps to safeguard ourselves now.
