The MSBS-5,56 Modułowy System Broni Strzeleckiej 5,56 or in English, Modular Firearm System 5.56, is a modern service rifle being designed at the request of the Polish military by the Wojskowej Akademii Technicznej (http://www.wat.edu.pl/), Poland's Military University of Technology and the Łucznik "Archer" Arms Factory (http://en.fabrykabroni.pl/)—AKA Radom, one of the most reputable Eastern-European armories in the world. The Firearm Blog has recent photos (http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2012/08/23/more-msbs-556-rifle-photos/) of the MSBS in action.

Two of Archer's rifles, the Beryl (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kbs_wz._1996_Beryl) and the Tantal (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kbk_wz._1988_Tantal), are considered to be some of the best AK-pattern rifles ever made. Kbs wz. 1996 Beryl guns are the standard-issue rifles in the Polish military, and they are modified AK-pattern rifles with a redesigned barrel trunnion to accommodate a rigid rail system.

Seems to be another weapon in the ilk of FN SCAR or the Masada / ACR by Bushmaster.

Looks a lot like hte ACR or SCAR. I kind of wonder how well it reconfigures to a bullpup.

O.S.O.K.

Why is it that the further they "advance" the more the weapons begin to look like a Sturm Gewher 44?
