When we are going to see this damn force in action?

 

[Khan_patriot]

So the POF will produce firearms for the police, I am guessing most of them are going to be SMG type weapons mostly G 3s, Mp5s and PK 10s, all the other firearms are good but from what I have heard and seen myself is that the POF MP5s tend to jam up after about a magazine on average, the cause being carbon build up or something, so I am wondering why would we still produce it regardless of its shortcomings, I think its time to get a new tender to replace MP5s....

SAR-B6 Most likely.

If bravado and bluster were guns and bullets, Punjabis would be the deadliest people in the world

Why do you have to be 'deadly'?

 

[Chronos]

Why do you have to be 'deadly'?

poor choice of words really. Guns and bullets, I had to end on a similar theme. So guns are used to kill = deadly.

Oh and Indian stereotype humor as well

I'll take that as a complement

 

[Chronos]

I'll take it as a complement

Maybe this is a stupid question

But my understanding is that Punjab has relatively escaped the wrath of the Taliban in terms of terrorism?

Are there similar developments in other provinces?

MASHA ALLAH

Same model should be followed by Sindh, KPK and especially Police force of Balochistan although they need to buy helmets and bullet proof jackets as well from them.

SAR-B6 Most likely.

SAR B6 is a side arm, and undoubtedly a good one, but I was wondering about primary SMG, I think that the PK 10s and MP5s are outdated, we should try and get SAR 223 considering we already have and understanding with Sarslimaz, please clear one thing if you can, some sites say that we import the SARs from Sarslimaz under the POF name and do not indigenously produce it, is it true....

that my friend is correct - personally witnessed it, weapons are turkish, we just stamp them....

talking about the Topic then i guess, they should pick up some G-3 with scope for DMR,
ST9 - and no B6. B6 we get is a lemon.....also they are importing tactical shotguns - so they will be getting that too......

G 3 is a tried and proven weapon so it should definitely make the list, as for G 3 as a DMR I dont think we are going to need that in large number, only a few may be needed for special units, the PSR 90 may also be effective as a DMR and provide better range, accuracy and firepower than the G3s, most of the G3 should atleast have dot sights with picattiny rails for urban close quarters encounters, as far as siderarms in the 9mm caliber are concerned I believe we have alot of options, we can use the indigenous 9mm Beretta clone produced at POF
