friend, stopping power of x39 is higher. After 100m, 223 loses a lot of kt; there are many charts around to show you this.

Two major factors come into play to determine effective range: weight/type of ammo, and barrel length. The barrel length in the infographic above converts to approx. 16 inches!!! So the barrel length could hardly get any longer. That leaves the type of ammo as the major factor. There are two 'related factors' which determine max range: sights used and the shooter.

One of the best rifle. Design, performance, built all is perfect.What i like the most in it is next to none recoil and so smooth barrel.
I wish we select FN Scar for G3 replacement.

Per Pundits CZ is influenced by SCAR, internal mechanism and external finish plus 70-80% of the price

CZ 807 BREN has emerged as the finalist in Pakistan Army Service rifle trials to replace 7.62×39mm Chinese Type 56 rifles, ARMÁDNÍ NOVINY reported quoting Director of Military weapons in České zbrojovce, Martin Šanda. Special version CZ 807 BREN (Soviet 7.62×39mm) was offered to the Pakistan Army.

"Czech arms industry has successfully participated in the tender for the rearmament of the Pakistani army with it's CZ 807. Of the original eight candidates which met the extremely rigorous demands of the Pakistani army, there were only three finalists, including the CZ 807. For an idea of the scope of testing, I can say that the tests were conducted throughout 2016, in all weather conditions from the Himalayan glaciers, where the temperature dropped below -40° C up to the jungle or desert, where they climbed to the contrary, we recorded + 54° C, "
commented Martin Šanda, on the Pakistani tender.

"Apart from these tests conducted directly by users of the combat units and weapons, they were tested in laboratory "under applicable methodologies". CZ 807 was evaluated as the best in the context of user tests, for example, but also as the most accurate direct comparison of standardized absolute world elite. Additionally, the testing was attended throughout by CZ representatives who collected valuable data for further development of service weapons. Some of them spent most of the year in Pakistan in difficult conditions," Šanda added.

Do we have any news about the replacement for the HK G-3? I heard that FN and Beretta were the final contenders.

Excellent choice, although i would have waited for the SCAR X39 model to arrive. If we pick SCAR to replace G-3s then it would have made sense to have just one single production line for all rifles and training. Now we would have to train soldiers on two different rifles. By all means CZ-807 is an excellent platform to replace the good'ol Type-56.
These two (BREN and SCAR) are extremely similar regarding operation and build. I think that training on these two platforms would also be almost identical.

It's actually true. These two platforms are extremely similar. Build, operation and looks included.

BROTHERS YOU NEED TO PURCHASE THERMAL IMAGING RIFLES FOR THE SPECIAL FORCES UNITS DEPLOYED IN HIGH ALTITUDE SNOW CAPPED MOUNTAINS REGIONS.
What exactly are these "THERMAL IMAGING RIFLES " you are mentioning? Rifles don't image, it's the work for the optics.
And I think we are already using these optics in our Spec Ops units.

How heavy is this? Do you know? This looks pretty heavy to me, may be its all composites so it would be lighter when you hold it. But AR type rifles are much less of a weight to keep in your hands. A soldier needs to be agile and be holding lighter weapons for quick reaction.
I think Pak army soldiers, who have been carrying G-3 for decades now, won't even feel this one. And our army is actually very tough to begin with. You don't need to worry about it.

Ever fired an AR? It has less recoil than a 9MM Pistol.


Hello sweetheart, what's your name? You need to be in America. Let this Cowboy show you Texas, where everything is bigger and better :lol:. She looks like a typical Texan, blonde hair, green / hazle eyes and carrying a weapon. That is as Texan as you can get. The rest, I can take care of. Phew, she is hot. Just the way I like'em :cheers:
 
I gotta feeling the SCAR will replace the G3s. It's a perfect replacement
 
Now waiting for G3 replacement winner
It may very well be the Beretta, don't be too shocked or saddened if the SCAR doesn't win the contract.

Again, to me it is increasingly likely that the Beretta will replace the G-3.

Who knows, maybe we'll be surprised and CZ will bag the G-3 replacement contract as well.

will never believe until i see them in solders hands
you're gonna be waiting for a few years, if you only believe what you see. Infantry likely won't see the rifle at least until 2018-2019.

SCAR is mostly likely the winner. Deal with SCAR is going to take place. Many friends who visited IDEAS talked to both POF and SCAR guys and it seem SCAR will strike the deal with Army. Berreta chances are further reducing not increasing. But now I am interested in whether we are also going to produce some 5.56 caliber assault rifle or not

SCAR no doubt a good rifle, but during tests it rear sight bcm loose after intensive u. It make her unsuitable for mountainous use. My unit mate was PN rep for rifle tests team!
