Not sure if this has been asked yet.
would like peoples views on the following.
if you were given a small budget to re-equip or start an armed force. what would you buy/equip them with???
I know first thing people will ask is how small a budget, so think of it in terms of having to equip your forces to provide a good balance of the following, reliability, maintainance, performance/effectiveness, cost, and ease of procurement. On the following areas:
assault rifle
LMG
MMG
HMG
sniper rifle(GP type no 50cal etc)
anti weapons (to include both shoulder launched and tripod mounted[saclos] etc) and one of them must be able to defeat basic ERA (point to note that some older systems now have upgraded missles so dont rule them out.
i havent included pistols/sub machine gun/AGL as they arent a necessity for a basic armed force on a budget, and didnt want to ask for too much, but if want to to include them you can.
