Why is the MEC's main rifle a G3A3?

[Outlaw289]

Just wondering. Are they available wholesale for cheap or something? Do a lot of middle eastern nations currently use them?

Iran dose. and they probably sold some to other countries in a upgrade processes. MEC is a standard army

MEC faction is not depicting terrorists. It is depicting Middle Eastern Armies come together, such as Irans, Iraq's republican Guard, Pakistans army, etc. Unfortunately there not broke like there terrorist counterparts.

I know they're a standard army, when did I say they're terrorists?

I just figured if an entire region was going to use a standard battle rifle, it would most likely be an AK variant because they're cheap and readily available from Russia. Thats why I thought the AK-101 made sense in vanilla BF2. Unless, of course, the G3 and others are being produced by Iran under license.

Heh, this would make a good replacement for the MEC Special Forces MP5.

Again, tell me when I said "why are they not using AK47s like durka durka towel heads". I'm asking why a modern army would use a bulky, cold war era weapon that defies current assault rifle designs, meaning: light, compact, range 300meters and under, compared to heavy, bulky, made for marksmanship and medium-long distance combat.

Iran and Saudi Arabia use the G3 in real life, afaik. Also please do a search on this topic. Its been discussed to death.

I searched for G3 and nothing came up. Just tried again with G3A3 and saw what you were talking about.

AFAIK , SA its allied os US/UK and iran speak persian , not arabic as MEC , so that reason of the G3 dosent make sence.

the G3 its only a Caprice from the devs

But they may export it to other countries

[KP]

And since most of the ME is desert, what's wrong with medium/long range engagements and marksmanship? And with all their money, the MEC could afford something better than an AK. The G3 is here to stay (although in another variant :wink , period.

Oh, and the MEC MP5 isn't an MP5, it's an HK53, a sub-machinegun-sized carbine chambered for 5.56 NATO.

[dunkellic]

search function, do you use it?

Why do people open a thread about the G3 every day?

[eddie]

Locked If I see another G3 question thread I'm going to lock that one too
