In another two issued to another unit, condensation formed inside the laser reception lens, and the night-time range finder malfunctioned. And five K-11 rifles issued to another unit showed defects in switching from single to automatic fire.
"The rate of malfunction stands at 20 percent, which is unacceptable for issuance to troops," said a defense industry insider
Looks like you've been very happy about the initial defects of K11. Well, sorry to disappoint you.
Those initial defects are now gone (fixed) and that K11 is now ready for official deployment and sales. As for sales overseas, talks with 10 countries are under way, from Europe, Middle East, South America and Oceania.
According to Agency of Defense Development memos, seven out of 20 K-11 rifles issued to Korean soldiers in Afghanistan had eight different kinds of defects, which caused failures in laser range finders and other targeting systems. Two K-11 rifles issued to an unnamed unit exhibited barrel movements during firing and defects in the striking mechanism that ignites the ammunition.
Fifteen of 39 new assault rifles issued to troops in June last year have defects, which translates into a 38.4 percent failure rate, it emerged on Sunday. The military has earmarked W448.5 billion (US$1=W1,116) to distribute the Korean-made K-11 assault rifle to troops by 2018, but a committee decided in mid-February to halt production and modify the design. It has cost W18.7 billion to develop so far.
K-11 is one sexy weapon, it aint right im british 6th richest country in the world and we sport one of the worst assualt riffle out there the shitty SA80 at liest give us
TAR -21s or if i had my way every soldier would recive a nice new H&K 416
I respect the Koreans for taking the formerly abandoned XM29 OICW rifle and solving some of its flaws. It was also nice of them to retain its legacy by naming the new upgraded version the K11 OICW.
@DanielTejnicky Objective individual combat weapon. Another Us millitary funded program to develope a new infantry weapon to replace the m16. in the end the program was scrapped because it was too expensive, and filled with design flaws.
But I am in fact na OICW fan and I know lot about it.... competition winner was x29 from H&K
semi automatic 20mm grenadelauncher,programable high explosive amunition for it
5,56 m4. fire system. scope is packing NV, infra, trajectory calculator for, laser range metter, 3x optical zoom, 3x digital. scope is capable to sent vissual to helmet mounted display. and etc
my comment before was meant like: isnt this what OICW already has ?
If deployed in the DMZ with North Korea this can cause mayhem in the Korean Peoples Army because the KPA lacks this type of rifle

its a neat gun but the scope is way too big. it looks more like a shotgun then a rifle. the scope needs to be smaller.

@Saladon89 I believe it's a thermal/night scope, and thermal/night scopes tend to be larger than general day scopes.
