The first two rifles are supposed to be replacing the older rifles in Turkish service, first should be replacing the SVD or 'Dragunov' and the second is supposed to replace the HK33. To me the second looks exactly the same as an HK33 but with foldable stock and an attached scope...

I think most of the 'Hellenic' Army uses M4 and G3. Thats the most ive seen, SF and Marines with M4 and regulars with G3A3.

Again a swastika was originally a symbol of luck, but since our old pal Adolf it's been linked to nazism.

Yeah, stupid Adolf. It's a nice symbol, but will never again be used publicly in western countries...
