[A] As of 2018, the BR18 rifle was to start replacing the SAR 21 in service. The SAR 21 appears to still be the most prevalent rifle - especially among conscript units - but BR18s may start to be issued alongside the BR18 and eventually entirely replacement it in the coming years.

[B] The sharpshooter's rifle is identical to the rest of the section's SAR 21s except his optic has 3x magnification versus the standard 1.5x.
