SupremeCourt:
moreover that one billion dollars is not part of the FEC approved statutory defence budget! COMMON SENSE!

Which one billion dollars are you talking about? Is it not the recently approved money from ECA? If so then a simple question: who are the signatories of that account?
The military do not have the right to walk up to AGF or FMF and demand for money. Though we know it happens when SHE was finance minister.

I've always wanted to ask this question: isn't the barrel too long or is there a technical reason for it.

have you ever been near a FN FAL, you would think the designer was imagining a mop stick when putting down the diagram

Please be respectful when talking about one of the best 7.62s ever made!

On to the question: I suppose some people have got so used to all these carbines and 5.56 rifles, they've forgotten what a proper 7.62 assault rifle looks like.
Can I get an amen, kikuyu1?

It is official! USA government just presented letter of acceptance for the purchase of Super Tucano. Best Christmas gift.

The United States (US) Ambassador to Nigeria, Stuart Symington, today presented the Letters of Offer and Acceptance (LOA) in respect of the A29 Super Tucano Aircraft to the Nigerian Air Force (NAF). The LOA represents the official US Government offer to sell US defence articles and services to the Nigerian Government. Speaking while presenting the LOA to the Chief of the Air Staff (CAS), Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar, at NAF Headquarters in Abuja, the US Ambassador noted that peaceful existence in Nigeria was strategic to the security of the entire West African Sub-Region in particular and the entire world at large. Accordingly, Ambassador Symington expressed the commitment of the US Government to helping Nigeria completely defeat the Boko Haram Terrorists and also eliminate all forms of terrorism from its territory. In addition, he conveyed the US Government’s belief that the capacity of the NAF could greatly be enhanced by the acquisition of the Super Tucano Aircraft. According to him, the US Government would therefore continue to support the NAF in its capacity building efforts, including the timely supply of needed aircraft spares. The US Ambassador also indicated the readiness of relevant US Government officials to work with NAF officials to facilitate the early delivery of the aircraft once payment had been made. In that regard, officials of both the US Government and the NAF would be meeting in early January 2018 to jointly study the LOA prior to subsequent endorsements by both parties.
The CAS, while receiving the LOA, expressed the appreciation to the US Government for its steady support towards sustaining NAF air operations. He also praised the personal commitment of the US Ambassador to ensuring that the Super Tucano Aircraft deal became a reality. Air Marshal Abubakar agreed with Ambassador Symington that the wellbeing of Nigeria was closely linked to those of other African countries, and indeed the entire world, as terrorism is a global phenomenon, which had to be confronted by all stakeholders. He then reassured the US Ambassador of the commitment of the NAF to the stipulated deadlines in the LOA. Furthermore, the CAS assured the US Ambassador that the NAF would ensure the readiness of proposed home base of the Super Tucano Aircraft in Nigeria before the aircraft’s delivery. He further said that the NAF would nominate and prepare all the pilots and maintenance crew to be trained on the Super Tucano Aircraft, ahead of their training in the US.
It is expected that the LOA would have been signed and necessary payments made before 20 February 2018 to ensure the commencement of production of the NAF’s Super Tucano Aircraft. It would be recalled that the US State Department had earlier approved the sale of 12 x A29 Super Tucano Aircraft to the NAF to further aid the nation’s counterinsurgency campaign.

You guys should just move to the good old RSA where you can get civilian licences for anything, up to a 12.7 for "hunting" purposes.

You should see the prices in the civilian market for pristine R1s! Never mind original pristine FN FALs!

Careful now, your low self-esteem is showing!
Haven't you heard the Tavor is the best rifle in the world? And a state secret?

Odunayaw:

Currently, US $11 002,36. For a .50 cal, remember. Outside the US, where can a civilian legally buy a .50cal?

And no, you can't just breeze in and get a licence. You need either SA residency with appropriate competency papers or as a foreigner, permanent residency status with requisite competency papers.
If for example, a Texan wanted to come here and shoot, he'd be able to do so with his Texas licence for 9mm only. For bigger calibres he'd either get the licence in the US or here in SA.
There are very few countries whose licences we automatically accept for all calibres: Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Italy, Switzerland, Austria being the few that come to mind because they have similar laws and regulations to ours.
