allexpensive:


The military is being overhauled sir. Infact the AK is in limited use here in the northeast. The north east is populated with Tavor, AR-M1 and M762.

The ak47 Is in limited use.

Tennyrank:


It cannot be just for close quarter fire. Mind you those DSS guys equally use f2000, galil rifle and p90 depending on their operations.

TAVOR
Built around a long-stroke piston system (as found in the M1 Garand and AK-47), the Tavor is designed to maximize reliability, durability, simplicity of design, and ease of maintenance, particularly under adverse or battlefield conditions.[5]

In 2009, the Tavor X95 (also known as the Micro Tavor or MTAR) was selected by the IDF to gradually replace the M16 assault rifle and M4 carbine variants as the standard-issued weapon of the Israeli infantry by the end of 2018. The first X95 bullpup rifles were issued to infantry units in 2013.[6] Both the IWI TAR-21 and IWI X95 are part of the Tavor family of rifles, along with the Tavor 7.

With the numbers of fights Israel Defence engage in year in year out you will only ask yourself how they could function so well if the rifle is solely for close range. With Israel planning to make it the only infantry weapon by end of this year.
.check am nah.

Interestingly, the Nigeria navy now use Favor.

IamPlato:
thats An Amazing Cost. The Nigerian Government Can Afford It But Will Never Do That. They Have Hardly Done The Little Things They Should do For The Nation Talkless Of Arming a Soldier At Such High Cost

ocelot2006:


ABSOLUTELY TRUE. Come to think of it, how come our troops aren't issued secondary weapons (pistols)? Besides I noticed that the Army still uses the old Browning Hi-power pistols. The Police is even worse with Chinese copies of the Russian Makarov plus Norinco pistols, although there are some Beretta M9s. As far as I'm concerned the Navy's SBS along with DSS are far better equipped with the later using IWI Jericho 941s.

bantudra:


wtf are you talkin about....??....nazis had their own mashine gun and it was not a ak47 in anyway....

FarahAideed:


What are you even saying ? Did you not see where I said the TAvor TAR21 was a carbine for close quarter combat or fire fight .. I said pound for pound the AK47 remains the best assault rifle out there and that's a fact .. The development of the M16 was influence byvyhe success of the AK47 and till date the M16 has not been able to surpass the AK in any assault rifle ranking .... Oga contrary to uninformed opinions like yours the AK 47 was never a copy of the Nazi STG 44 infact apart for the seeming similarity in aesthetic form they have no mechanical resemblance from bolt mechanism to breech mechansim to gas loading mechanism

Fynline:
Not all use AK 4. There is a shift already from AK47.

FarahAideed:
Pound for pound the AK47 is a better and more deadly rifle by every yardstick ...The Tarvor BullPup is just a carbine for close qtr fire fights and can't stand the AK 47 in any yardstick ..May Ignorance not let us make the wrong choices in Jesus Name

jpphilips:


DSS protect politicians, the army protect Nigerians, that's the difference, the NNSBS a specialized unit in the army uses that Tavor riffle too.
You must understand that Nigerian defense budget is meager as such there are equipment that will never go round rather it is provided for specialized units.

ocelot2006:


True, the M4 is accurate. Buy so is the Beryl, or Archer as the Americans call it. The Beryl is considered the FINEST copy of the AK-47 copy, and its stock design addresses the accuracy issue that has always plagued the AK-47.

QDubz:
Tavors cant survive intense continous use such that it going to be subjected to in the frontline.
Lost a friend because of that damn rifle, it jammed while in combat in the northeast.
Drop an Ak in the mud and it'd still fire perfectly
Drop it in water and it would still answer when you call
Easy to maintain and service.
But allow small sand enter the tavor and watch it suffer stroke!...

Denikayan:


Shallow question

Why does the FBI fall in same class

We talking of national security here at its peak.

Shookonekilla:


What is the full burst deflection ration of that rifle the dss carry ?

What is the rpm at full burst and semi ?

What is Caliber of ammunition does it fire ?

How can you compare the ak47 to this combat rifle ?

Only a stupid person does that

Only in Nigeria do you see people with zero combat experience who have no knowledge of weapons talking like I am seeing here

This is so aggravating

What rubbish are you all saying ?

Okoyeebos:


The AK 47 commonly seen around fires 600 rounds per minute. Original one does 700.

Tavor does 750 to 900 rounds per minute but it's for close encounters and is not as rugged as the AK.

Before your Tavor rounds can reach a target, the AK has already dropped its target.

The best and most complete AKs in Nigeria are with policemen in the SPU. They are the policemen in blue caps and guard VIPs

nams77:

Very apt. op is moved by rubber packaging. The ak47 is one rugged S.O.B. hardly jam, shots in almost all kinds of weather conditions-snow, rain, mud. Etc

decrownprince:
Not only d SPU use d type of AK47 u are referring to. CTU and MPF of the Nigeria Police also use it.

Okoyeebos:


You're very correct.

You know the SPU and CTU operatives were drawn from the PMF and trained to birth the 2 units.

Hotzone:

Word....AK 47 is built because of its rugged structure as it can be picked out of the mud and it can still be firing. Even its lethal power supersede would've been rivals.
As for me, I can't be comfortable without my piece concealed within, no harm intended but I am against intimidation either from criminal minded civilians or politicians or my fellow brothers in arms
