LEFT: Another view of a K2 assault rifle, a<br />
5.56mm weapon manufactured by S&T Motiv.<br />
Observe the hinge for the folding buttstock that<br />
reduces its overall length of 110 mm to 780<br />
mm. ABOVE TOP: On a beach near Pohang<br />
on the east coast, this Marine is wielding a<br />
K2 assault rifle fitted with a K201 40mm under-barrel<br />
grenade launcher. It is essentially<br />
the same as the U.S.-manufactured M203.<br />
ABOVE BOTTOM: The author did not see the<br />
K11 Dual-Barrel Airburst Weapon in the hands<br />
of Marine battalions participating in Exercise<br />
Ssang Yong 2014. However, South Korea<br />
will gradually introduce it more widely into its<br />
armed forces.
