Default Re: This may be O.T but i was just wondering...

I served an exchange in Bosnia with the Kiwi contingent in 1995. Yes, both NZ and Australia use the Steyr as their service rifle and carbine. I am also fairly certain that they produce them on license. To round out their small arms package they use the FN minimi 5.56mm as an LMG, the FN-MAG 7.62 as GPMG, 9mm Sig Saur as pistol and browning .50cal HMG. Popular opinion among them was that the steyr rifle was a good service rifle but was a bad match for use with the minimi because they use different magazines.
