H&K makes truly reliable and sturdy firearms, as evident in the popular MP5 SMG and M4 (their version, not the Colt's) carbine. A good choice for any armed forces. More info at: Modern Firearms BTW, the Steyr is NOT a good choice. Australia and New Zealand are seriously considering replacing their Steyrs due to problems with the rifle. One of which is the tendency of the rifle's plastic components to melt when the rifle is fired on full auto for extended periods of time. More info regarding Oz' and Kiwi's Steyr at: http://afwweb.orcon.net.nz/defencesolutions.html

	The SAF is an armed force , not a civilian corporation. Its mission is to defeat its enemies, ruthlessly and completely. Its an instrument of controlled fury, designed to visit death and destruction of its foes...soldiers must have steel in their souls ..must learn in war to kill and not to flinch, to destroy and not to feel pity, to be a flaming sword in the righteous cause of national survival. -BG Lee , 1984
