RADON (MSBS) It almost certain winner for a new rifle for the army, as Iraq and Afghanistan finally opened eyes of brass that you cannot go any further with AK and it's clones. Yet SF still buy foreign weapons (mainly HK) and probably will buy it for next few years as RADON will mature. But for regular grunts RADON will be probably next weapon.
Let me remind you that Radon wich will be in hands of Polish soldiers is not egsisting yet so don't judge how it looks, it's only shooting model wich has not much common with finnal version.
There was a competition for a new name. Finals have been published in 4th ed. of "Strzal" magazine:

It took FNH about five years to take the SCAR from prototype to production. You don't want to rush these things or you end up with a mess like the Chinese QBZ 97 that the Chinese rushed into production so fast even the lead designer was unhappy with the production rifle.
I think it is just a proposal from the manufacurer side (the same situation with P99D called by Fabryka Broni unofficialy "Rad"), not an official name of the new assault rifle. We have the same situation with sniper rifle from OBRSM - the factory name was "Alex", but the military designate is "Bor", so... there is A CHANCE that a new weapon IF the MSBS-5,56 WILL be introduced to the Army WOULD got this name, but it is still not sealed yet.
why are you so sceptical? IF, WOULD?
Nice reply Remov ! Is anyone in Poland working on optic sights for the MSBS ?
Has the design progressed since the photos that came out at the beginning of the year ?
Needs some remodeling on the outsides for sure but sounds interesting I'll have to look out for some more info on this
yes, the whole thing is now being redesigned.
how can you already know it is failed if you did not see the current redesign?
