Don't get me wrong..I've studied TONS of material on the U.S Navy SEALS and the British SAS..the Seals in Afghanistan wore t-shirts ,short knickers, keffiyehs, hardly ever shaved their facial hair, and were heavily tattooed..There is no problem with that..Special Forces operators are "behind the lines" and unconventional...I get that..But this is an INTERNATIONAL exercise for Christ sake!..no one shoes up in a Board meeting with sneakers.

the difference between the Nigerian Armed Forces in its commitment to the welfare of its officers and men and the SADF can be clearly seen in this picture. now, i do not care how this makes anybody feel, cus i know how it makes me feel. i am not happy with situation that we find ourselves as a nation but as a patriot and not a lover, i am not blind to this inefficiencies and i know that the our war against the insurgency up north, have been greatly influenced by many of this factors hence the massive failure recorded. we ve even gone ahead to start calling our brave soldiers cowards ( Sambo Dasuki. may God punish that man), just because they refuse to fight under the wretched situation in which they are placed.

Unfortunately Guns are illegal in our Country.

We agree on quite a number of things, however based on personal preference, i'll go for my up-graded AK-47 over the SCAR-L/H.

I agree the FN SCAR is better than the AK-47 (upgraded), however this comparison is based entirely on preference.

NighttWalker:
Scar H MK17 have a lot of recoil and I personally don't like the Scar cuz of its look but on the other hand I think AK-12 or AS VAL should be used by one of our SF since Nigeria like Russian made riffles

Henry120:
Since it's a Special forces Soldier, we need to give him a Special forces AK-47. My Ak-47 is a description of a Special forces AK-47.

I beg to differ, not many operators can accurately hit a target above 500 meters, whether it is a HK 416, FN Scar-H or an Up-graded AK-47.

DEATHMACHINE:
A-10 is impressive & it seems USAF wants to sell them but you know how things be with US na.i ll go with Russian weapons anytime ,anyday

Take out the wood, add polymer. Change the butt-stock to polymer, add rubber at the end of the butt-stock to help reduce recoil pain on the shooter.

Add a polymer foregrip and a polymer magazine to improve accuracy and reduce weight respectively.

Add an AK-74 muzzle brake or any other good muzzle brake design. Improvement Would reduce re-coil, and improve precision.

Change pistol stick to polymer.

Add polymer to the hand guard and a polymer grip. it reduces the weight of the rifle, and allows you add picatinny, so we can mount accessories. E.g laser dot/ sight. These improvements Would improve precision, recoil, weight and accuracy.

An EO TECH sight would be great but it's battery would eventually run out,and it's kinda expensive. we can go for more affordable sights, mespro is great, or any holographic sight. Improvements Would improve precision.

Foldable butt-stock to give my AK that carbine feel. Improvement would allow the SF soldier conduct room clearing and CQC with ease.

In all, a 5.56 would always be more accurate than a 7.62, however most fighting occurs in a 300 meters- 400 meters area. In this area, they are the same.

Forget about that above 500 meters shots, even well trained devgru / delta/ SAS personnel would find it difficult to hit a target above 500 meters.

Personal preference : change rifle colour to desert Camo.

In all, with these up-grades on my AK-47 Versus a 5.56 (tavor/M4A1/FN SCAR/FN F2000, HK 416), I would go for the Upgraded AK-47 over any of them. Not only do i get to keep my more powerful round, my accuracy is greatly improved, the enemy is down when he is shot (I don't want to be in a position where to kill an enemy high on drugs, I need to hit him with 5-6 rounds), and I get to keep the enemy's 7.62 Ammo.

Thank you.

M14A1:
Sorry about your friend.

But
You have clearly never fired an old model Ak before and as such you have no idea about the amount of recoil attached to it.

Ak47 and precision should never be used in the same sentence.
A platoon of well trained AK47 wielding soilders
And
A platoon of well trained FN SCAR wielding solders.

Who do you think has an edge over the other?, giving that they are both masters of marksmanship with their separate rifles.

bidexiii:
And that was my first statement !

M14A1:
True!!
But are we really comparing the iron sights on the AK to standard optics on the FN SCAR or TAVOR?
And
Please remind me again the effective firing range of the AK47(OBJ).

Our SF should not be groping AK47 in this era.
I'm not advocating for the AKs to be replaced in our frontline theatres.

Guys we are talking of battle tested assault riffles that as seing battles, battle proven and battle reliability !
Most of these riffles like the belgium FN series, french FAMAS u av to punch like 2 to 3 bullets to eliminate ur enemy, someone as made mention of these on dis thread or familiar thread on the famas issue to the NN and NAF .
Drop it into d water,mud,sand or any unfavourable condition ur ak will be there for you! You dare not try it with other riffle unless u want to meet ur ancestors
On the recoil if u av fired both weapons d deffrence is not significant, its an assault riffle recoil is bound to happen unless if it is not gas operated riffle !
There is a documentary I love watching so much on dstv (2013) on AHC channels (america heroe channels);I so much love these Channel because its about military history,documentary and technology and one of my favourites is combact coutdown; and one of my favourote episode is the 10 best battle proven assault riffles and the aK comes first with over 75 million biilt world wide:what success story can be more than that !

I know of a airforce soldier friend that died in maiduguri as a result of a tavor riffle so much craved for that jammed; he passed away the second; till today in russia soldiers still go all about with wooden aks without no sight scope.
And even in developed countries not all there soldiers go all about with there riffle with sight scope on it !
Its your man -skilled ,understand ur riffle after all even with scope sights soldiers still miss targets and that same target a soldier without no sights of whatever hits it a bulls eye target ; bro its all about your mask manship "like the briton's would say"

bidexiii:
Yeap u r right but what u don't understand about all these technology is dat "one. Advantange of mr A is d disadvantage of mr B ! Most of these modern riffle u people crave as a lot of there own disadvantages and short comings ;most of them do jam in muddy or dusty area and as a soldier u do a lot of crawling,dugding bullent and prawning and there gas chambers is d worst and dat is why russian soldiers still use those rusty ak's even during the recent ukraine/crimea conflicts we still see russian soldiers with wooden aks without no red dot sights or the scope sights only few of them use the plastic modern ak's !
My man what makes a soldier dangerous or deadly is not ur weapon its own well u understand ur weapon,well trained and ur killer instinct ur weapon is just an inch advantages
For me I will go for an ak with wooden part any day any time and would not just mind if I av a red-dot for sights ! But what most people don't know is dat ak's av there own sights(rear sights) too, its a metal flap that u raise up in when use and can be raised down

bidexiii:
Somebody tell me what is wrong with the NA AK(OBJ) produced by DICON ?
Besides it has his own way of sighting targets not just the modern lens on most now-days riffle !
And besides in the heat of battle you would not be able to make use of the sights when enemy r poping frm defferent angles
As someone as rightfully said its just not OK for the special force as a standard issue !

The abrams as performed woefully if u don't know ; during operation desert storm, most of them where granded dey never witnessed any battle they where grounded half way: for one engine failure, track wearing out e.t.c the bradley IFV performed better than the abrams during the operation: the bradley ifv had the highest number of tank kill than the abram which is a MBT ?
But the T-90 on the other hand is rugged and highly manevourable and easy to maintain. Do you know what they call the T-90 the "FLYING FORTRESS"
