Hear me out: NZDF just got a upgrade with the ISWRUP program. Austeyr F88s (service rifle) were replaced with the LMT MARS-L (though there is not enough to arm both field and logistical trades) with ACOGs (lovely to shoot), a service shotgun was finally realized (Bellini M3) that utilizes all ammunition types, Barrett M107A1s and MRADs were introduced with integral ranger finders etc. etc. armored logistical vehicles with a top-side 7.62 Minimi on were introduced etc. etc. "the government will spend $20 billion on the Defence Force in a long-term investment plan that includes a new cyber security system for defence networks".
Also heard that recently a mortar team won some international competition in an Asian county (Hong Kong?), and there were apparently some 'impossible targets' that the NZDF nailed every time whilst every other competitor failed.
NZDF isn't strong in the air or on the water (the 6 ships would last 10 minutes against any almost any other Navy with good fighting capacity. The ships were designed to let large ballistics pass through the hull). But the Army part is incredibly solid. The field artillery with 105mm can hit excellent groupings, designated snipers can work at easily work beyond 1,500m, engineers are at the top of their game with most of them getting a university-grade experience... opinions? IDK.
>rifle so bad congressional investigations were launched >3+ rifle trials that the Army cancels after their shitheap gets BTFO Thank fucking Christ we have the Marines, because the Army could fuck up a rock.
