Diemaco ARs or KAC ARs, they already field them and have extensive experience with them and it's not like they have to equip a large army.
It would be funny as fuck if they got the AKB-23/BRN-180, and even if a meme it would still technically be an improvement

They need to find another bullpup, probably in a higher caliber. Going from a 20 inch to a 14 is a massive loss in performance. Bullpup is the way, ars just have a lot of rnd.

Beretta - NARP, Sako M23
CZ - Bren 2
FN - SCAR
HK - HK416, HK433
Steyr - AUG/Australian F88
Sig Sauer - SIG556, MCX
Colt Canada - C8
Daewoo - K2

What is your obsession with piston? Fulltime suppressed it's not even justifiably better than a probably sprung and gassed full time suppressed DI system, unsuppressed it's justifiably worse.

More weight out front and away from the receiver, which also requires a perfect return-to-zero handguard that goes on and off with no tools, a complete unnecessary expense when "sealed" URGIesque systems don't require the handguard to come off for any reason until the barrel is shot out

External impingement destroys the natural smoothness of the straight pull system, and instead of dumping all the carbon into the upper receiver where its easily cleaned with a rag and CLP now you also have to remove the handguard and clean a piston and the rod in the front. The AR15 gas block is a complete no-maintenance assembly, never needs to be cleaned or adjusted. It also doesn't need to bleed off excess gas, the excess gas in an AR comes out of the vents in the BCG

Piston sucks. Euros love to espouse the benefits of piston for some reason. They don't shoot a lot and they can't envision themselves standing out in the rain or snow for a couple days and having to scrape rust off their exposed piston rod spring and scrape gunky wet carbon off their gas piston. It's an inferior system. The entire piston AR trend thats sweeping europe and the world at the moment is just retarded. DI AR15s have served flawlessly for 60 years and more than meet the needs of any fake european army that will never fight a full scale war

Beretta is offering pretty flexible and fair tiered deals for upto 100% domestic manufacturing if the MOD wants to pay for it.
The actual platform is almost irrelevant as long as it isn't hilariously shit. All mature 5.56 platforms will perform as well as each other.

One critical factor is what calibre they will be using. They might be moving to something like 6.5 Creedmoor which would require the gun to support a bigger bullet than 5.56.

Of those guns I listed the ones where the conversion from 5.56 to 6.5 (or 7.62) would be straight-forward from an engineering perspective would be the SCAR-L/H (or whatever its replacement is), MCX, HK417 or HK433, Sako M23 and the CZ Bren 2. The NARP is a 5.56 gun and I don't know if it has much the way of being able to swap calibre (though it might).
