I just want to know what will happen with all the ak 5’s ?
I’m assuming they’ll go into storage then be scrapped but FNC owners have needed a supply of bolts for a long time |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I just want to know what will happen with all the ak 5’s ?

Those remaining rifles have now been in use for around 18 years and are nearing the end of their service life. They're going to the shredder. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Still using a bolt gun? I can see an advantage of no brass being ejected. It's 338. Hitting a man sized target at the ranges it's capable too requires a level of accuracy thats significantly harder to produce from a gas gun as well as more difficult for the shooter to achieve. There's are like maybe 2 or 3 companies even producing them... The 762 platform they are adopting will cover DMR and short range/urban needs.. This brass bullshit is fucking retarded. |

Wow, I can see none of you guys has ever worked around snipers before. Or read a book on sniping. Or seen a show with snipers. Or even knows what sniping is.
 All it takes is the tiniest glint of light on brass to be seen by just one guy who will tell everyone around him including someone with access to air or arty or a bunch of other guys with guns to fuck up your day. You know what a killflash is? You ever wonder why guys who do this shit for a living tape over the ends of their scopes and binos into slits? And if your hide is dusty or leafy, you generally partially clear it or water it down so you reduce the blast signature.     I mean, do you think guys dress up like this just to be given away by brass flying off into the distance?

After we scrapped the Swedish K, quite a few people were left without a suitable weapon. We tested some possible alternatives, like the MP5K-PDW, but in the end they had to settle for pistols. They're going to get the 11.5" now. |

Honestly, I'd think it would be better if someone made new ones for the civvie market. Maybe the handguards and buttstocks could be reused, but the rest is usually pretty worn by years of conscripts. |

Build three different lengths of Carl Gustavs. Stubby one to replace SMGs, medium length general issue, longer one with upgraded scope for sniping.
