Armours aren’t needed to place rails on rifles.. anybody can do that..

You proved you are a lego fighter who wants his armed forces to play with toys while the rest of the world buries people from satellites.

Listen dude it’s breakfast time here .. Sehr or sehri whatever.. and I didnt/don’t want to argue with you.

As for scopes etc.. even the new rifles will have to be modified/equipped with picatinny rails for optics... so your arguments don’t even make sense.

As for our soldiers gears.. it’s much much better..

P.S; india hasn’t selected the AK-103.

There new so called multi caliber rifle has failed and they are back to INSAS & AKMs from the Warsaw Pact countries..

The Portuguese Army gave the G-3 very hard combat use in Africa during their colonial wars there. The Portuguese Army was made up of draftees which after basic and infantry training were sent to the combat zone majority armed with G-3s. The strange part was these soldiers rarely cleaned their rifles unless an NCO or Officer put a boot in their soldiers asses to clean them. In combat they ran their G-3s dirty and wiped the outside and put oil on the bolt. The Portuguese always bought German weapons. Their thought was if it was good enough for the German Army then its good enough for us. A lot of G-3s survive in Africa today either as former Portuguese Army rifles, Somali, Saudi, Pakistani, Iranian, and German Army surplus given to those nations.

Thats right, we cal them girlfriends! Their worst part is the magazines, the rest of the weapon is working just fine. Many of the Iranian and German weapons were made in Portugal.

Thanks

Iranians make it under license dude...

So do the Saudis,Turks,Pak ...

And the rifle does jam.. specially in cold areas like Siachen... that’s why AKs are prefered by Pak Army troops serving in -50.

Pakistan and India are probably the only countries whose rifles see combat between -50*c - 50*c, two extreme temperatures.

Yes a now that Iranians make it under license DF, but I too now that when Iraq invaded in 1980 they run out of rifles, we delivered them with 7.62mm ammo, also with 60mm 81mm mortar ammo and 105mm artillery ammo.
All in secrecy, when CIA discovered they blew the Portuguese Defence Minister (Adelino Amaro da Costa) aircraft, where by fate was the Prime Minister too (Sá Carneiro).
It was call CAMARATE crime, you can Google-it.

As for jam, yes you may be right, I have never use it at -50. Usually it would jam when two ammo were released by the magazine at the same time, this was becouse the magazine springs were very old.

Thanks

you are correct; all potugese used g3s both in angola as well as mozambique. Rhodesians used Fns at the time like we did; but then we discontinued R1 - our version of FN in favour of R4 (Galil).

 

[JPMM]

Ola, we did had some FN FAL from South Africa and on loan from Germany (G1) until the production of the G3 could catch-up. These were used mainly by "Caçadores Especiais", mostly 4 companies of Light Infantry, trained on COIN operations. These 4 companies were the first units to react to the 1961 Angola whites massacres.
Thanks
