The Indonesian use the Belgian FN FNC assault rifle as the standard weapon i believe...

FNC, built under licence I believe.

True, the FNC is manufactured under license by PT Pindad (Persero) and has the local designation of SS1-V1 and SS1-V2 (carbine).

As for the machine guns they do use the Minimi (last pic) but I can't really tell what the soldier in the middle pic is using.

Middle pic, means soldier with LMG with BTR-50P in background? Looks like Russian 7,62mm RPD.

Cool, thanks! Thats what it looked like but I never knew Indonesia had it in service. Must be a leftover when Indonesia was still chummy with the USSR :)

In the last pic. Is it just me or the camera angle but does the rounds rapped round the Minimi look like 7.62 ??

Nah, that's 5.56mm. The camera angle does make it seem bigger, but it is 5.56, because of the proportionality of the bullet to the case. Anyway, why would he carry 7.62mm wrapped around a 5.56mm Minimi??? ;)
