Da es bei den Infanteristen bisher keinen Sammelthread für News gab, und sich diese in den anderen Foren ganz gut bewährt haben, bin ich mal so vermessen und mache einen auf.
Zum Einstieg: Die Norweger testen derzeit drei Kandidaten als potentielle Nachfolger des AG3 - SIG SG551 SB, C8 IUR und Heckler&Koch G36 KV3: QUOTE Choosing the right rifle The Norwegian Defence’s Logistics Organisation is now testing the candidates for the Armed Forces new choice of attack rifle. The new rifle will be replacing the traditional AG-3, and representatives from all the branches of the Armed Forces are testing the different candidates.

ZITAT Snipers to get new longer range rifles 14 Nov 07 Snipers in the Army, Royal Marines and RAF Regiment are to get a new rifle that will give them lethal precision at even greater distances under a £4 million contract announced today, Wednesday 14 November 2007. WO1 Kieren 'Mack' Macmahon of the Infantry Trials and Development Unit based at the Land Warfare Centre in Warminster demonstrating the new sniper rifle The British firm Accuracy International Ltd will supply 580 rifles with day telescopic sights for snipers across the Services, which will fire a larger calibre bullet than the existing weapon. The new rifle is being supplied as part of a broader Sniper System Improvement programme to give UK snipers more power, precision and stealth than ever before. All-weather new advanced day and night sights will mean snipers can operate around the clock in difficult conditions, and laser technology will allow distant targets to be accurately located. Baroness Taylor, Minister for Defence Equipment and Support, said: "We are committed to providing our troops on the front line with the equipment they need. Military snipers provide vital capability on operations, defeating the enemy and protecting our troops on the ground. "In response to feedback from operations we are investing in new sniper equipment. The first contract is for the new longer range rifle and day sight, and we expect to start taking deliveries of this kit early next year." WO1 Kieren 'Mack' Macmahon of the Infantry Trials Development Unit (ITDU) said: "ITDU has carried out a full trial and assessment of the new sniper rifle in different climatic conditions and it has performed well throughout. "The weapon is a great improvement on the current in-service sniper rifle. The new sight allows greater engagement distances, it can be fitted with a suppressor allowing the sniper to get closer to the enemy without risk of compromise, and it has been fitted with a butt spike to aid stability during firing. "We now have a sniper rifle that meets the latest user requirement." Training units will familiarise themselves with the weapon and how it works with other parts of the sniper system. The rifle is due to be ready for operational use next spring. Other elements of the Sniper System Improvement programme include night sights, spotting scopes, laser range finders and tripods, and will be sourced from a variety of suppliers taking the total procurement value to over £11 million.
