Canadian modular assault rifle project, a C7 replacement?

[PrairieFella]

BFA issue has been solved, according to a conversation I had with a reporter with Jane's who tested the C25 out and got to ask questions. The new problem is retrofitting vehicles with rifle mounts to fit the C25

Thats a good problem to have imo. I cant see it being too arduous to sort out. Bustle bins on tanks/LAVs. Gun bags in ACSVs and LAV section seating. I can see them just going to that gun bag system across the board.

BFA issue has been solved for some time.
1) Don’t use Blanks
2) Most Suppressor submissions require a BT-BFA (Bullet Trap-BFA) as part of the KPP’s, so either a specific units that clips or screws on like the live can, or for screw on aligned can’s like Strategic Science cans they have a clip on module.

WRT weapon racks, that shit drives me nuts - sling it, which is much easier if it has a shorter barrel, and a folding stock.

You want gunners to have their rifles slung in a turret?

Where do LAV gunners put their rifles? In the tanks they go in a bustle bin and they tend to wear 9mms.

There's two carbine racks left of the turret basket. However since we tend to hand out carbines by rank vs role often they have rifles that dont fit. So they go either in the bustle or haphazardly "somewhere" inside the car.

Is intent to issue the GS C-25 to vehicle crews, or are they getting the FS C-26?

Unsure

C25, from my understanding since its more compact.

Yes from what Ive read. FS for infantry sections.
