Yes. G3s are everywhere in that part of the world. Its one of the few western military rifles you'd see around there. 

 

No. G3s are all over eastern Europe while i've never even seen any documentation of Swedish weaponry there.

 

We don't need ONLY Eastern weapons. Western are fine aslong as they fit the area. 

While a G3 and M1911 make some sense, something like the Thompson or Garand do not. Although i did see a picture of a Thompson in a shop in Russia or Eastern Europe, it was alongside 3 PPSh-41s, 4 PPS-43s, 1 MP-40,  1 SVT, several AKs, 2 SKSs and and dozens of Mosins. My guess is it wasn't functional either. I've never heard if a Garand being there, mainly becuase most American weapons were brought back to the US or given to West Germany and other countries to "Fight the red menace". 

If we're going to have a western WWII smg, then the MP40 seem best.

 

The M1A1 Thomspon Sub Machine Gun was actually issued to the Soviet Union during World War 2.  They were, of course, EXTREMLY limited among the Red Army though like the Colt M1911 .45 ACP Handgun.  I never heard of the M1 Garand Rifle being issued to the Soviet Union at any point in history though.

that would be awesome, yet I still want a BAR nothing like 30/06 in full auto with a 20rnd mag.

As well as FN FAL.

 

Actually, it just confirms that they want a lot of different guns :P. At least we know they've considered it.

Then again, they've probably thought over pretty much every single gun even Gews could think of (even completely nonsensical ones like the SCAR or Famas)

Everyone wants G3, me too, but stop asking. Look for a developer which his name i dont remember he posts all pictures and models of upcoming features and gear. He said that FAL and G3 are planned even tho they are not saying those are going to be in the game

This was posted over a month ago, and not everyone checks Chris Torchia's twitter 24/7. Besides, if it isn't confirmed people are going to ask for it, and saying that it's on a wishlist is not necessary indicative that it will happen (he said himself that it's wanted but not guaranteed as of yet)

Come on guys, not logical, this weapon was in service in over 80 countries, we have only 200 on earth counting all the tiny ones. Here is a list of armys who still have/had them recently in service:

 

Denmark

Estonia

Greece

Iran (primary army rifle, also uses kalashnikovs)

Latvia

Lithuania

Mexico (primary army rifle)

Nigeria (and most of Africa)

Norway (being replaced with the HK416)

Pakistan (primary army rifle, also uses kalashnikovs)

Portugal

Turkey

Saudi-Arabia

True, and they also used weapons such as the Reising Model 50, another .45 SMG. But as you said, they were EXTREMELY rare, only used during 1942 when the Red Army was desperately short on weapons of all sorts. After more weapons using standard ammo were available, they became even rarer, being put back into various armories. They were probably destroyed in the recent Destruction of several million Ex-soviet weapons in Russia, along with Winchesters, and IZH-43s.

I really haven't seen that G3 are "all over Eastern Europe". That would be even pointless, because many Eastern Europe countries have its own military industry. Though some small countries (especially in ex-ussr, such as Baltic states) haven't such industry (or have only possibility to customising of bought weapons). And yes, Baltic states have just swedish and norwegian analogs of this weapon. Though photos from net isn't too proof, because is hard to make distinguish. A little simple way is a textual proof from year 2002.

 

 

Though Galil remained in the army, but Ak4 was given later to paramilitary organization, iirc. And same was in Latvia.

They're not issued to the Military, but they're much like AKs now, being purchased by terrorists and criminals, and Guerillas. They found they're way into the Yogoslav wars (Although, so did Lewis guns) and probably a few during the Chechen wars and every conflict in the Middle East since the 1990s, and the neighboring Takistan Used FN FALs, and if arma added all the vehicles and weapons jsed by each faction, there undoubtedly would have been G3s.

No idea what all this hate going back and forth between the fn-fal and the g3 crouds is all about...  But I hopefully have a solution to those who are claiming "they are too similar".  While the argument about similarity is valid to some extent, why not just introduce the MC 51 Short barrel G3 as a high powered CQB weapon, and introduce the FN-FAL as a true battle rifle?  There is certainly room for both...

 

Here are some pics of the MC 51...

Yes we do! German weapons superiority! But not in the SA, as we aim for soviet weapons only

NoNo we have an m4, 357mag, and cowboy hats why not a g3 that is even closer than us

[-Gews- 7443]

why not just introduce the MC 51 Short barrel G3 as a high powered CQB weapon

 

Because "only 50 weapons were produced, and all were reportedly shipped to the UK special forces. It is believed that none were used in combat... SAS had them in service for a very short time indeed... they are not now in use of any kind".

 

The only people using MC51s are airsoft players.

these will hopefully be removed and replaced with more eastern weapons

Fair enough, how about ka4 then?
