HK SA80 (LA85 since 1987)

Britain's first 5.56 gun. It had a lot of teething problems when it entered service.

The Mexicans initially wanted to replace their G-3s with the G-36 but ended up designing a G-36 look alike. Heckler & Koch even thought about suing them but then withdrew after realizing that despite the resemblance the internals of the rifle were different

Sir the INSAS 1B1 and 1B2 variants are the standard issue rifles of the Indian army. The Trevor is used by their special forces.

Isn't this your standrd issue infantry rifle ?

Nope...the pic you've posted is of the G3. The standard issue rifle for PA is the G3A3 and the G3A4 (retractable stock. Pakistani designation G3P4), which are both produced domestically on licence by POF. Reportedly the POF G3s are also a little lighter than the standard G3s due to lighter materials being used in it. The G3S is one variant which was recently showcased by POF but we haven't seen it in service as of yet.
However the army is mostly using Ak variants in WoT. Furthermore the army is also in the process of choosing a new rifle as the future standard issue rifle for the PA. So the G3's days are numbered.

G3A3 and G3A4:
