according to military today, only a small number of ma1/ma2s are in service with most already replaced by the bull pup ma3. However that doesn’t seem to be the case in recent combat footage and pictures. So is it even true?

So if u look carefully, it looks like the stock is similar to adjustable stock length wise to the M4 and Ak12 with lots of pictanny rails

the waffle magazine design appeared on the older MAS sniper rifle magazines and the Ma mk3 (QBZ Knock-off) rifles so it is possible that they had these for a while. The stock and pictanny rails probably came either from technological exchange with the Philippines or Serbia where Serbia manufactures the same type of rifles (Gailils) domestically.

This is probably an updated .50 sniper rifle from the experimental BOYS anti-tank rifles seen early in 2016. Looks a lot like the beretta .50 cals and a welcome change. The stock is also adjustable if you look carefully.

The new MAS looks like a scaled down version of the .50 cal, but if follows a more design philosophy of the newer semi automatic sniper rifles from Russia. Looks like the trip to Serbia really paid off for the Defence industries here. Note the stock is also adjustable and it would be nice to have a 20 round magazine instead of a 10 round one

Our concept of LMG is quite pathetic. Just look at MA2, its just MA1 with extended barrel. Visually judging there is nothing more to it.
Instead of upgrading with all those fancy rails, maybe we should take reference to singapore ultimax 100 design.
Pretty similar in overall layout compared to MK1 version.
