During my service I was issued the HK G3 (not clones in the Py Army, we had German made rifles) matching couple of HK21s at platoon level and then both M-16A2 Norinco equivalent (With Full auto) and a US made M-4A4 with a Trijicon Acog. I know some regular Para Units are issued the Imbel (Brazillian made) FAL Para and regular FAL aswell as the German made G3 Para. Also some Marine units had the venerable Fal in both Imbel and Belgian versions but those were the 90s. I'd say that most of those got phased out for the Norinco M-16A2 by now. The police oddly enough is issued Berettas P-12s, HK Mp5s (Pak and Germans) & Famaes all in 9 Para. Also M-16s (US and Chinese) and the FOPE has Steyr AUGs and a few sniper Galils in 7,62 plus American made M16A2s with Trijicon Acogs.

I have AK47, M14, M16 and the new M4 Norinco.
