DICON Unveiled The First Batch Of Locally Manufactured DG-103 Rifles

So we’re unveiling rifles… again.
Nice. Great. Fantastic PR.

But let’s be honest — Nigeria has “unveiled” more weapons than it has actually deployed to stop anything. Every year it’s a new gun, a new prototype, a new ceremony, a new hashtag… meanwhile the same bandits using 1970s AKs are still embarrassing a whole country with “locally manufactured” press conferences.

Until these DG-103s leave the photo-op table and actually reach soldiers on the field — not VIP escorts, not politicians’ nephews, not showcase museums — this is just another shiny announcement for social media.

We love unveiling. Delivering is the part we still haven’t copy-and-pasted from other nations.

Wake me when these rifles start reducing kidnapping stats, not when they’re trending.

Is that the new baby for the so called bandits?

Those criminals either stop or relocate as they will be sent to 6 feet below

What's the recoil like?

The latest AK-107 has zero recoil which makes for better accuracy and its range is higher than the 600-800m range of the older models and best of all is made partly of composite material and not wood.

AK100 don dey?

Locally assembled you mean? Nigeria has a near absent steel industry. It has a very low number of skilled machinists. So how then can we build a rifle from the scratch?

whats all this are we in the 18th century that making weapons is now an achievement



these days anyone with a brain can make a full functional gun, even i can do it , with a 3D ptinter or cnc machine plus blueprints and models, making a weapon is very easy.



making guns is very easy, can they try to make explosives from scratch?? lets see whether they have actual engineers with a functioning brain to do that??

Weapons that bandits will snatch from them

It will still be more expensive than imported ones.

bandit will be the first people to use it on our foolish army

The problem now may be the mass production.

At least it managed to pass the prototype stage unlike many others.

I digress, the question that should be on the lips of concerned nigerians is the poser raised by the kebbi state governor on who made the order calling out the soldiers guarding G.S.S Mako minutes before it was attacked?

How do we place order . Churches needs it, families needs it. How do we place order

The Northern Army advancing

If they make an explosive, you will say the same thing, then ask if they can't make a new planet.

Hope it doesn't overheat and jam in the middle of action like the OBJ006?

Such a welcoming decision!

I used to watch a YouTube channel where this guy shows many adaptations to making a gun from bamboo stalks..

I think it is important for everyone to learn that skill for self preservation...

You may not be able to get an AK 47 to deter these guys(bandits, terrorists, kidnappers, etc) but your projectiles may secure you from these area bad boys...

Making explosives is even easier


The koko is locally constructing a rocket propeller to propel or project any warhead to a desired distance or kilometer with accuracy.


What we should be celebrating is complete local production of rocket launchers, missile batteries, surveillance systems and drones, not assembling but local production from scratch

Other countries are already producing long range missiles and we are celebrating what people have been producing in Awka for a very long time now.

Are they selling to civilians?

Of course it will. The recoil will be 1000%


How can Nigeria that have zero research capability, and our industries and big firms plus government refuse to fund university researches.


No steel firm.


Zero Foundry technology.


We are not yet serious jareh

Nigeria does not give civilians assault rifles

The army have no need for rifles again.what they need now is a well equipped squadron of unmanned aerial vehicles for real time surveillance. Their battle field is bug they need what can accurately pinpoint the enemies in a position
