Replacement for Rheinmetall MG3

[YeBeWarned]

For decades Pakistan Armed forces are using the Rheinmetall MG3 as their Primary Mounted Machine Gun, its been used in all branch of Armed forces along with Paramilitary forces like FC ( KPK / Baluchistan ) and Rangers ( Sindh/Punjab ) . But I wonder if PA has any plans to replace them with any other better or more modern Machine guns ? ? what could be other possible Options which PA can acquire and locally produce .. will be it a huge burden on our Defense Budget like replacing the main Assault rifle ?

We have an existing thread for this which at the end went nowhere.
The issue was funds and feet dragging by key players.

They are great at providing suppressing fire at an opponent and reliable to boot, so if it aint broke no need to fix.Kudos Starlord

Won't be replaced until mid 2020s. Reason: lack of funding, other programs being prioritised for the time being.

These guns are reliable and cheap, why we need to spend expensive guns which also shoots only bullets not rockets?

We need to do R&D at local level to produce guns locally (modern and according to our customized need).

There is a Polish MG and there is a South African MG which are great candidates to replace the MG3

 

[khanasifm]

why replace them.

Most modern LMG are shorter, lighter and can be easier to operate plus reasonable fire rate 600-800 vs mg3 which has 1100-1200 rate of fire and mg3 mostly need two man team as one carrier of ammo due to high rate plus it’s more of fixed weapon than carry weapon

It’s already replaced in special forces units ssg, ssw, lcb Etc
