Question 1: What rifles are they carrying?

Question 2: If Sweden is not a NATO country, then they're not using NATO rounds, right? But the magazine that I saw on the gun was a STANAG mag, which, correct me if I'm wrong, is meant to hold 5.56x45mm rounds. So, would these just be Swedish-standardized .223?

@gloryglorybarcelona Q 1: AK5C a variant of the FNC but designed to be in the swedish climate.

Q 2:We're not in NATO but we use 5.56mm rounds and we use standard m4 magazines and swedish-made plastic mags.

This is a good example of how the insurgents don't give a damn about civilians. Started shooting at soldiers who were surrounded by children. Losers.

@cowbot2 Firt of all: It's impossible that they could invade our country and second of all can u be more specific what u mean about shooting people? Civilians? We don't bomb or shooting civilians!

Ich sehe hier das wenn die Einheiten sich dem Ort nähern, gibt es von dem vor dem Ort spielenden Kindern eine Warnung somit laufen die Väter ( Taliban ect. ) in dem Busch um sich so lange zu verstecken bis die Einheiten wieder abziehen. Über Satellit sicherlich zu erkennen und verstehen.

Über Wärmebild Kameras sind z.B.die Flugrichtungen aus der die Kugel kommt sicherlich einfacher zu erkennen,

Und effektiver zu bekämpfen.

@uberbollocks This is one of the reasons yes ... in the cold war planing we relied after a week fighting on help from the outside , that was NATO , so we would use their ammo :)

Also why we dont have the german mg , but ksp58 , i belive the brits call it the gpm , correct me if Im wrong

Much love the Swed's doing thier bit, but every time one of the boys would yell something i half expected the Swedish chef from the Muppets to start throwing chicken at the bad guys lol

gloryglorybarcelona: Australia isn't part of NATO either, but we use 5.56. It make resupply easy for anyone frendly to another in a hurry. Un like ww2 where every man and his dog was using their own stuff
