Im USMC IAR (Infantry Automatic Rifle)-Programm sind nur noch 3 Anbieter im Rennen:
-Colt IAR -FN IAR (auf SCAR-Basis) -H&K (leider kein Foto des IAR-Vorschlags vorhanden) ZITAT FN Herstal, S.A., Herstal, Belgium, is being awarded a five year indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity contract with possible delivery orders up to $27,900,000 for the production, delivery, and associated support of the Marine Corps’ Infantry Automatic Rifle (IAR). The IAR will be a light weight, magazine fed, 5.56 mm weapon which will enhance the automatic rifleman’s maneuverability and displacement speed while providing the ability to suppress or destroy not only area targets, but point targets as well. The IAR is planned to replace the M249 Squad Automatic Weapons (SAW) currently employed by automatic riflemen within Infantry and Light Armored Reconnaissance (LAR) Battalions. Although four contracts will be made initially, delivery orders will be awarded for samples. First Article, spare/repair parts, and various support services; and, eventually one of the four contractors may be awarded delivery orders for up to 6,500 IARs. FN Herstal’s production facility is in Herstal, Belgium. Delivery of contract line items will be as stated on applicable delivery orders. Contractfunds will be obligated in multiple delivery orders.

Das ist doch ein schlechter Scherz.

Ich glaube langsam irgendwie das ganze ist ein Trick um ein neues Sturmgewehr einführen zu können. Gut wäre es. In der Sekunde in der man sich dazu durchringt endlich mal für einen M16 Ersatz zu sorgen ist die ganze Geschichte doch völlig witzlos. Jedes in West-Europa gebräuchliche Sturmgewehr dürfte so nah an den Leistungen des IAR dran sein, dass es einfach unsinnig wäre, sowas als Sonderwaffe einzuführen. Oder verstehe ich das falsch? Lässt sich mit dem Ding irgendwas anstellen, dass man mit einem G36 oder SIG 550 nicht auch machen könnte? Wenn die Amis ein neues Standardgewehr einführen können sie einfach dafür sorgen, dass es vollautomatisch schießen kann. Wenn man das IAR Konzept ganz toll findet, kann man einfach den Herstellern aufgeben von dem neuen Standradgewehr auch eine Version mit schwerem/langen Lauf anzubieten. Fertig. Jetzt aber eine winzige Stückzahl im prinzip normaler Sturmgewehre zu kaufen um sie dann zu irgenwelchen spezial Zwecken zu verweden ist doch irgendwie. |
