I looks like a real improvement over the archaic standard K2 handguard.

    I guess those are 1913 rails. I’m sure the young SC conscripts are happy with the upgrade. I think they prefer the M4 tho because of all the video games they played.

    Is there a civilian variant of this Daewoo rifle available for the North American market? If so, how does it compare with our AR15 and the AK’s?

    Why it the writing behind the gun in Arabic?

    That’s an Iraq flag. The newpapers probably talk about South Koreans in Iraq training Iraqi police and military personnel.

    A) Is Daewoo K2 better than Singaporean SAR-21? how does it fair with SAR-21?

    B) Are they going to have a 6.5 Grendel caliber in the near future?
