It seems that more and more countries decide to self produce military hardware. Countrys like Brazil, South Africa, South Korea, India and others make their own light and heavy weapons. This has advantages like self reliance, high regard to the specific needs of that countys armed forces, and more. It is however usually more expensive(since these countries usually need relatively small ammounts and do not export), and is sometimes more a result of politics than true needs.
