Hiromoon said:It's supposed to be the future, Kristovich.... this is supposing that the AK4 was fully replaced by the AK5.
Hiromoon said:And the information comes from the internet, ranging from country's military sites to wikipedia information.
Kristovich said:Still like these lists. Escpecally the Swedish one :twisted:
Just wondering, where do you get all the info?
And you forgot the AK4 in Swedish assault rifles...
Kristovich said:Well, I'm pretty sure I've read that the AK4 will be having another decade of service, but I could be wrong though.
Anyway, I like these lists and I appreciate that Hiromoon has taken time to put them together.
Thanks dude! I'll definatly use this stuff and army badge, the minis though might just be BFE brits converted and some appropriate brits from the assualtgroup and eureka minis .Chiwie said:

Kristovich said:AK-100 series?
Something I missed? Do the AK-103 really exist?
All in all, like I've said before, great job!
[/code]The AK-101 is an assault rifle of the Kalashnikova series. The AK-101 is designed for the world export market, using standard 5.56 x 45 mm NATO cartridges, which is the standard of all NATO armies. The AK-101 is aimed at those looking for the logistical compatibility and familiarity of the 5.56x45 NATO round with the proven quality and reliability of a Kalashnikov. Potential customers may be Western oriented countries looking for just that. It is designed with modern and composite materials, including plastics that reduce weight and improve accuracy. Many of the improvements found in the AK-101 are also present in the AK-103 and the rest of the AK-10X series of rifles.
still not seen a panther on the road yet though
and unlike the landrover availability of spare parts in foreign war theaters is gonna be hard to come by, i think the landy has a life ahead of it still for a long time.
to fix a landy you need a hammer an a spanner
