Cabatli i have a question. Does MKEK produce any 120mm Sabot rounds ? I know they have 105mm ones but do they make 120mm ?

As far as I know MKEK produced some because They were introduced in MKEK stand in IDEF 2009...
 
Looks beautiful........... hope Pakistan buys it.. or creates somethin similiar.

Anyways Congrats.
 
it seems nice but i couldn't see a handle. Is there a handle? Mr. cebatli_53 what do you think about its weight? isn't 6.6 kg a little heavy? if you can compare the similar systems, 6.6 kg is good enough for this type guns??

6.6 kg is not heavy at all: Minimi weights 7.1 kg and Negev weights 7.4 kg. I wonder however if barrel is exchangeable, since I dont see any handle.

Also since Turkey ditched 5.56mm HK416 based assualt rifle, its unclear how could it need 5.56mm machine gun. Prolly just for export or SF.
 
Its not belt fed.

oh! cmon ,even AK 47 can accommodate a drum magazine .
insas lmg can also be altered if required
IA dont favour belt feeding other wise that's not a problem for indian ordinance factory.

any way how an 5.56 round have an effective range of 1km as claimed about of this MKEK LMG

Machine gun needs belt, without it its just heavy assualt rifle. Drums are too expensive and long to load.

Max effectve range of 5.56 is 800 m, even less.
 
it is just another copy of the FN Herstal Minimi. The Minimi is already in service with PAF SSW and SSGN
