You know you're not going to get the answer to your question.

Understood,my dude,no harm no foul! I do hope you can at least expound on your PAW situation. IIRC it was first issued to your Recces but will soon be standard issue on the platoon level. Denel says

The new version – iNkunzi PAW A2 – contains a number of upgrades to improve the weapon’s stability and accuracy. A rotary magazine replaces the old box cartridge cassette which improves the balance of the weapon and adds to its efficiency. The gas operated recoil system was also replaced by a new inertia-operating system.

Petje says the iNkunzi PAW is a highly accurate weapon that is best deployed in modern urban warfare conditions. It can also be used in rural or jungle combat terrains at distances of up to 1 000 metres.

You already have RPGs ,a BMG,60 mm mortars and shorter range Milkors on the platoon level-why the Inkunzi PAW,imo,its overkill. Why not rework SS 77 to the .338 Norma as General Dynamics has already done with a 240? Establishing traditional fire superiority and suppressive fire at longer ranges makes more sense than highly selective plinking on any battlefield from Bangui to Beirut or Basra.

The gun itself weighs 24 lbs. This is a lot lighter than the M240B and about 1.7 lbs heavier than the new M240L. The .338 NM cartridges are a lot larger and heavier than 7.62mm cartridges.

This gun makes a lot of sense to me. The ballistics of the .338 NM are far superior to the 7.62mm. At longer ranges it has ballistics similar to the .50 BMG without the need to carry around a M2 + bipod

I ask cause I really don't see the need for this on the platoon level,the weapons platoon along with heavier mortars,yes. 61mech and frumentius,enlighten me please.

Frummie,61mech,I know its the weekend and also that time of the month again,judging from the last few posts but still awaiting your knowledge.

Off Topic: Who remember this man holding sway? Well more of this should happen.

Rev. Jolly Nyame the former governor of Taraba state from 1999-2007 and a clergyman sentenced to 14 years in jail without option of fine by Justice Adebukola Banjoko of a Federal High Court for grand corruption. She described the defendant as one who acted like a common thief with unbridled greed.

This is about Nigeria's first major sentencing of a former governor for stealing state funds. Where is Orji Uzor Kalu and Co?

How many sub-marines, ships and planes could we have bought with all the thieving by our politicians!
