The MCX comes from Sig Sauer ,but is brand new and any kinks are unknown, as is the Polish MBSS, and the VHS.
The Beretta ARX160 besides being incredibly bulky doesn't really have much in the way of combat experience. The FN SCAR-L hasn't really been adopted by many other than some elite units and was sent to American units who all ,but rejected them as they really offered nothing over an M4. There is no other firearm in the list that can say the same. It is the oldest system and has already gone through it's early hiccups that have been ironed out in the A5 variant. Honestly, the HK416 is the only one coming in with any actual real battle experience through numerous Countries and various units Including French Units. The DGA tender calls for 45,000 assault rifles (AIF standard) and 45,000 carbines (AIF courte), alongside accessories, including under-barrel 40 mm grenade launchers, maintenance kits, spare parts, training, and technical documentation. The French armed forces possess about 400,000 FAMAS F1/G1 assault rifles, that will eventually be replaced by the AIF. The FAMAS F1 rifle was introduced on 24 July 1979 after 10 years of development. Possible bidders include the Belgian FN Herstal FN SCAR-L, the Thales Australia F90, the German Heckler & Koch HK416A5, the Italian Beretta ARX160, and the Czech CZ 805 BREN.įrance will be one of the first countries to replace its first generation 5.56 mm assault rifles with a new type of individual small arm. Accordingly, France will have to buy in a foreign design. The French procurement agency (the DGA), announced a tender on 16 May for 90,000 assault rifles, chambered in 5.56 mm x 45 NATO ammunition, under the Arme Individuelle Future (AIF) programme.įrance no longer possesses the industrial capability to manufacture assault rifles after the Manufacture d'Armes de Saint-Etienne (MAS) factory closed in 2002 following the completion of FAMAS production in 2000. France has launched its programme to replace the FAMAS as the French armed forces principle assault rifle in one of the biggest tenders for individual small arms in Europe.
