Are we going to get them considering that current sub machine guns and rifles (MG-3 and G-3) are German sourced and built under licence by POF

It will have a fat price tag so very very unlikely for now.

man if we can design and produce our own tanks why don't we design and produce our own machine gun

Considering its recoil and agility PA can use it as an assault rifle ( Better than G3)

Which tank?

 

[Zabaniyah]

It can even carried around and fired from any position with ease. And fires 7.62 rounds!

IMO, a fine weapon indeed. HK really know how to make guns

Which tank?

AK..........

I am in love with this machine the moment i saw the video. Its one hell of a weapon to fire the 7.62*51mm ammo.

I think PA should serioudly start thinking for the HK417 & HK121 induction, if not in short term then planning in the long term should start. Awesome weapons from HK.

Heckler – Koch HK 121 universal / general purpose machine gun is being developed by famous German arms-making company Heckler und Koch, as a possible replacement for ageing MG 3 general purpose machine guns, now in use by German military. This weapon was first announced in 2009, and by now (mid-2011) is still in advanced test and development. Apparently, it was built on the base of the previous HK machine gun, the 5.56mm MG 4, but with few parts being actually interchangeable due to different calibers and sizes.
Heckler – Koch HK 121 machine gun is a gas operated weapon, firing from open bolt in automatic mode only. It has quick-detachable, air cooled barrel, with conventional rotary bolt locking. HK 121 gun is belt fed, using standard NATO disintegrating belts with M13 links, fed from clip-on 50-round containers or separate belt boxes. Gun is equipped with pistol grip and rifle-type trigger. Side-folding shoulder stock is made from polymer, and a small folding forend / forward grip is provided under the gas tube. Conventional folding bipod is attached below the gas block, and the gun can be installed on all mounts and tripods originally developed for MG 3 machine guns. In accordance with modern trends, it carries integral Picatinny rail at the top of the receiver, which can accept variety of day and night sights in addition to standard iron sights, which are provided with the gun.

No machine gun sucks when you consider what role the machine gun plays on the battlefield. You can probably do as good a job with WW2 German MG34 as modern machine guns.

Machine guns are meant to lay down suppressive fire so that enemy cannot freely operate in an area. All you need is a weapon that has a fast rate of fire and a good cooling mechanism.
