The group spans a region whose own arms industries range from decades-old standard-issue service rifles to recent export-oriented and modular designs, grouped together here as a single Asia-Pacific bucket rather than as eleven single-country groups of one or two members apiece, each of which would sit well under this split's own working floor for a genuine subtype group.FactsAll Assault Rifles of Asia-PacificSourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsShort LabelWell-attestedof Asia-PacificShort LabelWell-attestedof Asia-PacificComparisonEra of EmergenceWell-attested1985 1All Assault Rifles of Asia-PacificFilter Results12 entriesWeapon ClassAllRifle (8)Small Arm (4)Weapon FamilyAllAssault Rifles (12)Assault Rifles of Asia-Pacific (12)Rifles and Carbines (12)Introduced EraAll1958 (1)1976 (1)1981 (1)1985 (1)1989 (1)1998 (1)1999 (1)2014 (1)2019 (1)2021 (1)2024 (1)ManufacturerAllArmaments Bureau (2)Daewoo (2)Dasan Machineries (1)Howa Machinery (2)Ordnance Factory Board (OFB) (1)SNT Motiv (2)ST Kinetics (2)OperatorAllIndian Army (1)Japan Ground Self-Defense Force (1)Vietnam People's Army (1)CaliberAll.223 Remington (2)5.56x45mm NATO (11)5.56×30mm MINSAS (1)7.62x39mm (1)Service StatusAllIn Service (11)Country of OriginAllIndia (1)Indonesia (1)Japan (2)North Korea (1)Singapore (2)South Korea (3)Taiwan (2)Wars Used InAllGulf War (2)Iraq War (4)Kargil War (1)Syrian Civil War (1)Vietnam War (1)Show ResultsBrowseCompareSelect all 12BR18Small Arms And SidearmsDaewoo Precision Industries K1Small Arms And SidearmsDaewoo Precision Industries K2Small Arms And SidearmsDasan Machineries DSAR-15Small Arms And SidearmsHowa Type 20Small Arms And SidearmsHowa Type 89Small Arms And SidearmsINSAS rifleSmall Arms And SidearmsKomodo Armament D5Small Arms And SidearmsSAR 21Small Arms And SidearmsT112 assault rifleSmall Arms And SidearmsT65 assault rifleSmall Arms And SidearmsType 58 assault rifleSmall Arms And SidearmsSources1.
