Vietnam to produce new version of Galil ACE gun

Because of its mastery of technology and production lines, in the future, Factory Z111 will probably produce a new version of the Galil ACE-32.

This information was mentioned by VTV1 Channel of Vietnam Television in the report "Today's Defense Industry". In this report, Lieutenant Colonel Vo Bach Ngoc - Head of Project Management Department of Factory Z111 held the Galil ACE 32 and said "... in the future, this product can be improved and developed into a number of other products".

So we have the idea of ​​producing new variants of the Galil assault rifle, the question now is which version Vietnam will continue to produce.

According to the introduction from Israel Defense Industries (IMI), the Galil ACE N version with a few minor modifications aims to overcome the shortcomings of the Galil ACE line like the type produced in Vietnam.

IMI says the most significant change is that the gun has a Picatinny rail that runs the entire length of the upper body, with a fixed, non-removable breech cover that significantly increases the stability and rigidity of the sight, eliminating almost all vibrations that affect accuracy even when mounted on the breech cover.

In addition, another feature of Galil ACE N that has been upgraded to a standard is that the gun will use a fixed-length adjustable stock (on Galil ACE N 31) or a right-folding stock (Galil ACE N 32) with a new fire cover, which not only creates convenience and comfort for the shooter but also makes the gun look "much more eye-catching".

Compared with Gali ACE 31/32, Galil ACE N 31/32 clearly has more advantages. Upgrading and improving according to this configuration is considered completely within our reach when Factory Z111 has mastered the technology and production line of this type of gun under license from Israel.

ACE N gun - the latest version of the Galil ACE "family".

This possibility is entirely possible because previously, Vietnam successfully integrated the American-origin M203 grenade launcher into the Vietnamese version of the Galil ACE.

It is known that the M203 is one of the 40mm grenade launcher models developed by the US Army in the late 1960s to replace the M79, the standard US grenade launcher at that time.

To this day, the M203 remains the standard grenade launcher of the US Army, equipped on many different infantry weapons. It is also widely used in many countries around the world with many different variations.

The standard M203 grenade launcher weighs 1.36 kg empty; is 380 mm long (barrel length 305 mm); uses 40 x 46 mm ammunition similar to the M79, for an effective range of 350 m, maximum range of 400 m, rate of fire of 5 - 7 rounds/minute, initial velocity of 76 m/s.
