R4 assault rifle

From The D Archives

The R4 is a South African assault rifle developed in 1980 for the South African Army to replace the R1, which was a variant of the FN FAL. The R4 was first issued during the early 1980s, and is partly based on the Israeli Galil which in turn was based on the Finnish Rk 62. The Rk 62 was derived from the AK-47 assault rifle.
