The AUG was going to become the standard rifle of the Saudi Military, but it failed miserably in trials and in combat tests, so the focus shifted to the G-36. The G-36 proved to be effective in light skirmish situations, and the main users of it the border guards cite it for its accuracy over their previous Standard Assault Rifle the AKM.
Currently the Standard Assault Rifle of the Saudi Military is the AK-74M while Al-Kharj Light Weapons finishes its teased R&D assault rifle project.
What about G3s you guys produced (if im not wrong),
The G3 is being phased out. Only the "Sahrawi" version "G3SA" is still active which is a Saudi development to the rifle that is still active in the marksman role.

During sustained combat operations the AUG's plastic components would melt increasing the frequency of Type 2 Jamming considerably. And also the soldiers complained that the clip easily breaks during heavy duty handling, like quickly climbing a mountain etc.
While the soldiers enjoyed its accuracy they complained that each time before firing they have to zero it again. Creating a hassle in long range Fire fights. The land forces made a 160 papers review on the AUG performance and termed it "unsatisfactory".
Incorrect man, there are plenty of types and no specifically labelled 'main types'. What about 7.62x39 and 7.62x51? They're really common too. It'd be wrong to say that three or four of these are 'main'.There are 3 main types of assault rifle ammo. American 5.56 by 45, Russian 5.45 by 39, Chinese 5.8 by 42.
What...nope...not in real life. Trust me on this.Actually 7.62 loses out to 5.56 beyond 300 yards or so.
