Has G3SG/1 been removed from Taliban side (alternate marksman kit)? When I choose an alternate marksman I see M1891-30 only now.

Seems kinda silly, they do indeed have a G3 w/ optics IRL

The same image was also used on a suggestion thread requesting it in the first place. Alas, his request was granted (Thread was from 2009)

EDIT: Another reference image, the guy in the front has a AUG A1 (not a suggestion, probably a very rare weapon)

I think it might have been that way for a little while now. I know you can get it for the MEC marksmen kit, I dont know of any insurgents with it though. Maybe the Syrians? I think they get the SVD and AR-15 with scope for theirs though. I think Hamas gets the SVD or M4 carbine marksmen kit. You may be SOL for a irregular army with it. Feel free to correct me If I am wrong.

They do indeed have it, coming mostly from Pakistan and/or black market. And also there are mercenaries working for Talibans that could very well be equipped with this very reliable and accurate German rifle.

It seems it was part of Taliban faction at one time:

Why it has been removed all of a sudden? Is it a bug?
