I feel as though CZ - as well as other hopefuls - would need to show how rapid their iterative cycle is in order to really have a good shot at bagging the Army's order. The SCAR hype is certainly coming from somewhere, otherwise the Army could have just not let it stick around this long. But if CZ can give us an improved make of their design during the trials, then things could get very interesting.Money is sure a problem. We may have funds set aside for the gun procurement but you know that the idea of saving some of those to be spend on some other project can be lucrative. It is not like we have billions we are looking to throw around. This is the reason I feel that money too will be a point to consider and given the gun is performing OK as per our requirement and is coming cheap we may very well consider going with that. For me CZ BERN may be that option and you rightly point out to MPT-76. The other main thing that will be considered will be the side benefits. Who will allow us to manufacture this at POF and then who will allow us to export it as well. Who will offer POF to be a registered supplier of their gun or gun parts. These are purely business decisions and these all will have their say in the final decision.
