Nice, thanks for posting.
Re: pics 2 and 3: Is it common for the Norvegian Special Forces to use HK416s(could also be 417s, but the mags look like stanags to me) these days? |

It comes with a remote MG or automatic grenade launcher. A retractable periskop like optic/camera and a small UAV for aerial recon. http://www.army-technology.com/projects/fennek/ |

What weapon is that in picture 8? It looks like an M16a4 but why does it have a bipod and what appears to be a quick-release barrel handle? Also, is that sight on the top an ACOG or some kind of FLIR?
Anyone?

It's an ELCAN sight, pretty similar to an ACOG. Not 100% sure about the gun but it looks like a Diemaco Canada LSW which is an M16 in a Squad Automatic Weapon configuration.
EDIT: I mean Colt Canada. Last edited by fatty; 03-19-09 at 10:42 PM. |

Thanks guys.
I fail to see how this weapon would be superior to the M249, however. Is it a semi-automatic light support weapon? What is the purpose of that?

Who are those Norwegians excercising against? Against the impending attack of the Penguin Brigade? I'd say you're pretty safe, it's not like you're all that significant strategically.

Maybe they are after a weight reduction?
