[Thunder.Storm]

As it is now fully confirmed that Pakistan has decided to replace G3 with a new standard weapon. For this a board of Army officers led by a Major General will evaluate all major Guns used by leading militaries in the world and one of them will be chosen for Pakistan so it's time to discuss potential candidates and their features.
By the way MPT-76 are first to come for evaluation.

This is fight in Ukraine.
Please look the video.
If you are soldier- Which caliber do you prefer?
You don't see your enemy. You dont know where are they? Your job only firing !
You need a lot of ammo! Maybe your hands, hears and body tired, Because you fired a lot of ammo. You need comfortable , light caliber.
If you are General of the War - Which caliber would you prefer? War and fight in everywhere! Your 10000 soldiers fighting, firing 10 hours in day. Your 10000 soldiers must fight one year everday. How many ammo your 10000 soldiers need in one day ? And how many in one year? Thats why Russia and Usa prefered 5.56 and 5.45mm calibers.
.308win one ammo cost 2dollar.
.223rem 1dollar. If you need 10 billion ammo you can account.

DSEI 2015: Beretta unveils ARX-200 battle rifle

Beretta Defense Technologies showed off its awaited ARX-200 7.62x51 mm combat rifle at DSEI 2015 in London.

Developed to the requirements of the Italian Army, the ARX 200 is currently being qualified according to NATO AC 225/LCG1 rules.

The new rifle draws on the experience acquired with the ARX-160A3 5.56x45 mm rifle, adopted by the Italian Army and numerous other export customers.

Although not based on the ARX-160, the ARX-200 maintains a family look and feel with the earlier rifle, with many features such as the magazine release, the hold-open, and others remaining the same to facilitate training in services using both rifles.

A gas-piston operated weapon with locked breech and rotating bolt, the ARX-200 has no double-side expulsion, brass being always ejected on the left. However the cocking handle can be switched left or right dismounting the rifle, and the three-position fire selector (safe-single shot-automatic) is available on both sides.

The ARX-200 does not feature an immediate change barrel system, a quick change system having been adopted in the form of a single bolt under the handguard, fixing the heavy 16-inch free-floating cold hammer forged barrel to the bolt assembly.

Beretta took care to minimise weight, the upper rail and the forehand being made of a single aluminium piece, which is coupled with a reinforced techno-polymer insert hosting the bolt. The rifle uses the KeyMod system on the forehand in order to install side rails when needed. The ARX-200 has a weight of 4.5 kg, without magazine.

In terms of accuracy the new 7.62x51 mm rifle exceeded company expectations, obtaining a 1.5 MOA accuracy at 100 m using match-grade ammunition, a performance in line with designated marksman rifles. In fact Beretta will soon start developing a DMR [designated marksman rifle] version, modularity allowing the replacement of the fire selector and trigger assemblies; the former will be replaced by a two-position (safe and single shot) selector while the current single-stage trigger, whose pull should be around 3 kg, will be replaced by a dual-stage trigger with a pull of around 2 kg.

What we know for sure is a commitee was formed and many Guns will be tested but those who have 7.62 X 51 calliber

Pakistani keep forcing 7.62x51... Lets make our soldiers tired, lets use heavy assault rifles, lets use ammo that costs twice as much than 5.56x45 M855A1 which costs exactly as original M855.

I did more scourching around the web, apparently M855A1 performance is comparable to 7.62x51.

Imagine how much money you could save by switching to 7.62x51... How much does Pakistani spend on bullets each year? I bet saving would allow Pakistani to buy 24 to 36 more Oplot M tanks...

Sorry but we would stick to 7.62 X 51 caliber and USA and NATO wars in Afghanistan has proved that 5.56 X 45 is not that effective. As for Oplot M we haven't finalized it yet.

Proved what? M855... Not M855A1.
