what kind of rifle/sub is this?

[Barms 98]

the guy on the right..

 

I notice the large magazine. so its not an MP5 type of ammo..

 

 

[checko 180]

That picture is super small.  

 

I'm gonna throw out a guess of the AK 103 or AK74

[tuktuk 16]

easy its Galil

[blksheep 466]

Soo small...hmmm...

[Barms 98]

sorry I can't make it larger.. I had to clip it from the newspaper website..  yup.. looks like it matches the pics for a Gilal.. thanks Tuk..  it appears to be a short barreled version..

What paper was this in? Where is this photo from? Is this in Argentina?

 

It looks like a Fara 83 to me.

[jermz1987 243]

yep.... Fara 83.

 

Originally called FAA 81 (Fusil de Asalto Argentino 1981), FARA 83 born by a requirement of the Argentine Army to the Directorate General of Military Industries to replace the nearly obsolete FAL caliber 7.62 x 51 NATO rifle national design shoot the 5.56 x 45 NATO cartridge, softer recoil and more magazine capacity.

yep.... Fara 83.

based on the image u provided I'm still going with Galil. the above rifle has a different stock, different rear sight and different handguard. also looking at his hand positioning, it looks like a different grip too....

[tuktuk 16]

plus it says FARA 83 was produced 1984-1990... and this pic looks recent

fair enough. Does look like Galil.

[High Exposure 5,664]

It may very well may not be a FARA but this:

plus it says FARA 83 was produced 1984-1990... and this pic looks recent

doesn't matter.

 

There are plenty of countries currently using weapons older than that. Plus, with the blue uniforms, I am guessing Police not Military, which would make sense to have the older rifles, they probably get the hand-me-downs.

 

The only reason I don't think it is a Galil is I can't see the 90degree charging handle, the receiver seems to have a rail, and the front sight/gas block looks wrong. I also saw more pics of the FARA and some had the same stock.

 

Looking at it a little bit more, I actually think it is an FN FNC, not a FARA or Galil.

[jermz1987 243]

Kinda look like like Brazilian Police or Military.

[mipafox 438]

 

easy its Galil

 

 

I thought it looked Galil, too, although not a straight out or IMI Galil.

 

I didn't say it because the mag looks so small in the pic, and, like i said, it's obviously not a real Galil so that throws it out for all kinds of AK variants I don't know about.

 

You just gave me the confidence to ride your coattails

[jermz1987 243]

Here is a pic of a FNC.

I'm going with galil.

yep agree on these guys being police or such .

def valid point on the charging handle I cudnt make it out either. we can't see it or its not there...

now these place looks like Latin / South America. I don't think it's Argentina >> another reason I don't think it's Fara 83 since I cudnt find that they exported it. now the FNC is a great contender and it was exported to Venezuela !

so I did a bit more research and I'm gonna refine my original guess >>> it also looks very similar to Galil ACE. The Galil Ace was a colaboration between Indumil, a weapons manfacuterer owned and operated by the Colombian government and Israeli Weapon Industries (formerly IMI). it's in use in several countries in the region. chk out the pix and let me know what u think !!

[mipafox 438]

That's absolutely not FNC in the original pic.

 

BTW, you can buy FA FNCs for $5K if you want them. Cheapest FA transferable rifle, dueling with Ac556 for that spot.

[jermz1987 243]

the FNC has always been an awesome rifle to me since the first time I saw the movie Heat.

Great guess Jermz. You guys are so good at guessing rifles next time I'm just going to post a pic of the soldier and ask "what country is this?". :-)

hehe yeah they looked familiar. I remember seeing a report on them cracking down in the favelas getting reading for the Olympics.
