    Australian Army's new rifle being sold to American civilians

    A bit hypocritical, I'd say.

    Well I reckon that if it makes the guns cheaper for the OZ army and secures the future of Lithgow then it is great.
    We cannot control the laws of other countries.
    If they allow it and it is legal then we should not take a "moral" stance IMHO.
    I hope we can sell it to other armed forces also.
    We have had very little success doing that as we are usually too expensive and do not pay the right people.

    I was involved for a little while in trying to sell arms but that is another story but I did meet Adnan Khashoggi a few times.
    Regards Philip A

    If we sell to Americans, we should sell to Australians. Considering the civilian version is semi Auto, perhaps they could.

    I teckon the last thing we need in this country is more guns. There are enough weird people around as it is, without giving them guns to do even greater harm.

    So, it's ok to sell guns to the weirdos in the US [ and God knows where else] what does that say about our ethics. [ethics- a system of moral principals, by which human actions and proposals may be judged good or bad , or right or wrong.]

    It's strange to see an American talking up a bullpup. Looks like a good design. How does the steyer licensing work now that it's further away from the f88 or aug. Are these now standard issue or just special snowflake issue in the adf?

    If you can't work that out, stay out of Melbourne.
