Georgia Ditches AK-47 for US M4 Assault Rifle http://www.thepeninsulaqatar.com/Dis...0080119146.xml Quote:
Ex-Soviet Georgia's army began yesterday to switch from the Russian-designed Kalashnikov to the modern US M4 rifle, pro-Western president-elect Mikheil Saakashvili announced. "Today is a historic day for the Georgian armed forces: we start to switch to Western armament. From today, we will use the best weapon in the world-the M4 assault rifle," Saakashvili told troops at a new military base at Gori, in the north of the strategic former Soviet republic. Saakashvili, who has angered neighbouring Russia by pressing for NATO membership, said on Rustavi-2 television that the armed forces were purchasing "new armoured vehicles which meet the NATO standards, and new artillery, which also meet NATO and Western standards." Like many ex-Soviet republics, Georgia relies heavily on Soviet-era weaponry, including the Kalashnikov assault rifle. By contrast, the M4 is one of the most up-to-date US small arms and fires NATO-standard 5.56 mm bullets.
