Turkish OOB

[PPoS]

The standard rifle in WinSPMBT for the Turkish OOB is the "GT36", but it seems that the real world weapon of choice is the H&K G3. I cannot find any information that the Turkish army ever has used the G36 ?

Well, it's been like that for at least 10 years but I will note this down to look into during the fall/winter OOB extravaganza

MKEK also under license from H&K to field their version of the H&K 416 in July, it will be the MKE T-50, the sniper rifles are to be fielded I believe by the Fall as also shown in ref. 2. MKEK is part of the military industrial complex of Turkey. Many of their weapons are modified licensed variants of the prime manufacturers own weapons. MKEK is the sole source supplier of small arms to the Army. Here are the current offerings

You'll have to click on the specs section from the above ref., it wouldn't copy over.

I wanted to add that Turkey is/was also looking into producing there own version of the HK417 7.62MM battle rifle. I don't know what has happened lately with the program but it would not surprise me if they adopt it along with the HK416, they've had manufacturing rights to HK products for something like 30+ years.
