Daewoo Precision Industries K2
Daewoo Precision Industries K2 assault rifle was developed by the South Korean Agency for Defense Development and manufactured by S&T Motiv (formerly Daewoo Precision Industries). It is currently the standard service rifle of the Republic of Korea Armed Forces. Shoulder-fired and gas-operated, the K2 is capable of firing both 5.56×45mm NATO and .223 Remington ammunition. The K2 supplanted the M16A1 assault rifle for the Republic of Korea Armed Forces since its adoption in 1984.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The 5.56 X 45mm: 1980-1985 )〕
==Development==
Although K1 submachine gun entered service 3 years before the K2, the development of the K2 assault rifle started many years earlier. Facing the eventual expiration of the Republic of Korea's license to produce the M16A1 (Colt Model 603K), president Park Chung-hee, who strongly believed in self-reliance in national defense, ordered the development of an indigenous standard military firearm. Engineers with the Agency for Defense Development began the project named XB rifle in 1972, resulting in the K2 assault rifle in 1983. Colt alleged the design was copied from its M16 and sued unsuccessfully. S&T Motiv does not pay license fees for manufacturing the K2.
The South Korean Army is developing a next-generation rifle to replace the K2, which is expected to be combat-ready by around 2020.〔(N.Korea Doubles Ground-to-Ground Missiles ) - Chosun.com, 7 June 2013〕
