Hi @Freyja ,
I think this is the Barrett MRAD.
Yesterday I was reading about the equipment of the Israel's YAMAM unit,and I saw that the only operators of this rifle are the Israelis and the Norwegians!

That's exactly what it is:yahoo:! .338 MRAD from Barrett.

@Blue Marlin I saw you and Penguin talking about the Ula replacement in the Chinese submarine thread.

It's basically this - An Ula class submarine with a redesigned tower and modern processing systems and an upgraded engine. The basic hull design will remain.

The current tower:

Versus ThyssenKrupp's proposed replacement:

The processing systems will be modernized from their current state:

To what or from who? We don't yet know. The current Ula uses a combination of systems from Thales and EADS and ThyssenKrupp. The engines are also to be modernized and the boats will likely be outfitted with an AIP design.

They already have an X-shape tail plane, but that will be retained on future boats:

The design is to have a length of 58 meters, height of 11 meters, a displacement of 1150 tons and a crew of 21. The current Ula Class Submarines have the exact same dimensions and crew compliment.

DCNS of France is competing against ThyssenKrupp for the tender.

A few more pics of the Ula class:

well the sail planes are for additional maneuverability. its easier putting them on the sail as opposed to the main hull

Is this the HV ?

Yes it is. HV-14 Heron just got their HK416s and were trying them out during the low security exercise Håløyg.

With HV-14 transitioning to the 416, the AG3 is just about done in Norwegian service as only a few more HV groups are using it.

Equipment is flashy and gets all the attention, but someone's got to keep it in top condition.
