Maybe we should add to this the breakdown of a squad etc...

assult rifle : HK g-36
machegun: .50 cal
sniper: PSG-1 7.62mm

artillery : 155mm plz 45 heavy gun-howtizer
tank: leopard II or type 98
 
reason why hk 36 over m-16:

because it rarely jams, lighter and in all aspects like an ak which does not need much maintance
 
Ok, thanks to bushpig's suggestion il add the breakdown of the squad to the topic. Im going to say my squad is made of 8 soldiers broken into 2 fireteams.

All have CZ-100 handgun

Team leader: G-36k
Rifleman: G-36+LAW
Rifleman: G-36 + AG-36?
Rifleman: FN Minimi

Combat Shotgun: Frachi Spas
anti-personel sniper rifle :WA2000

every Soldier would be equipped with special personal Armor
which would be completely sealed from the air (helmet included)
so gas and biologic warfare would be almost useless
The helmets would have stuff like nightvision air filters and a still big
viewing field so they do not obstruct so much

( I know it souns pretty futuristic and VERY expensive :roll: )
 
Yer Welcome, Shadowstalker...my Squad would look like this...

10 man Squad

Every member carries Glock 18 as sidearm, standard body armor no NBC gear (the possible enemies in the sub-sahara theatre don't have NBC capability) and night vision equipment and helmet with integrated radio system linked to a relay station that will boost the reception enough to reach home base.

in the end , an army arms itself for its needs , every country or most can have a strong army , if they just stop buying and putting money in food , human development etc and making a strong army , but a country arms itself , for its needs like i said if you don't have enemies , and do not plan to invade a country why have a carrier ?? if you dont have water why have a navy for example
 
A lot would depend were you might be expected to fight, now it could be an urban setting or desert wasteland. or even an Arctic environment every battleground would need some form of different weapons
