SCAR 300x220 French Army plans to purchase new rifles, may use cheap Chinese riflesAccording to the U.S. global strategic networks 2, reported that the French Army intends to purchase a new assault rifles. The U.S. Special Operations Command are equipped with SCAR is acclaimed German G36 rifle based on the design. In this procurement project in the French rifle, this rifle is one of the options in France.

Reported that the reason for unexpected purchases from abroad, the French rifle, is entirely subject to the impact of the aftermath of the Cold War. After the Cold War, many defense companies out of business, including some of the French armed forces for the production of weapons and ammunition companies. The report also said that China also has a new rifle without care for the French army, the adoption of China’s weapons would be a “diplomatic extra points,” move.

Before 1991, the French military-industrial complex is sufficient for Famas assault rifles, ammunition needed for the production of special (need to use high-quality steel forging). The seventies of last century, bullpup design rifles (ie, after the cartridge is located in the trigger grip) was first published. The appearance of this rifle with the other 5.56 mm rifle is no different, but some unique design makes it impossible to use NATO standard ammunition. Report said the early sixties of last century, the French from NATO’s own interests Zengyin. Although this period has been an informal member of the organization has been in contact with, but they did not join NATO-standard items – through the NATO-standard items can be closer ties between NATO member countries to share ammunition and supplies.

Reported that the nineties of the last century, the French based on NATO standards (at least in the use of ammunition) designed a FAMAS rifle. However, FAMASG2 rifle production is small, and only equipped with the French Navy, it is because this type of gun manufacturer went bankrupt. To make matters worse, for the first FAMASF1 to produce the required special magazine companies also close down. The question is, for the manufacture of rifles, rifle parts or new producers who, FamasF1 the market is too small. Moreover, although paragraph FAMASG2 is a good weapon, but stronger than its performance, or the cheaper rifles everywhere. Thus, France has apparently decided to FAMAS assault rifle designed shelf, using the paragraph, but also a standard 5.56 mm assault rifle design.

If you insist on non-care design, the French can buy existing Israeli Tavor assault rifles. Despite the current French anti-Semitism, the Arab sentiment, but this may not play a useful role. China also has a new rifle without care for the French army, the adoption of China’s weapons would be a “diplomatic extra points,” move. In any event, France in this regard a considerable number of choices, but also in the process, they will also seek to halve the cost of their firearms.
