Thread: At least it's a nice colour green - NZDF choose AR to replace Steyrs

I think people need to back the bus up a little . All that has happened is that Bullsh@t Castle has said is that "We liked playing with a rifle ".
There is nothing to say that they will get what they "want ". In the end they will accept what they are given and the Politicians will decide not the Mandarins of Bullsh@t Castle . The Aussies will be very unhappy of a different choice from them no matter what we think . Remember MonKey boy preferred a Softball game over a Funeral .

I don't think the Aussies would care what rifle we had as long as it fires 5.56x45mm.

Obviously you do not understand just how things work .This is as much a political decision as a millitary one

Unfortunately I think it is you who does not fully understand how things work fully. There is no "conspiracys" involved. The current weapon is coming to the end of its life and there has been a trial and LMT is the winner. Job done. That's it.
