Current Romanian Small Arms

[HCV1]

Below follows a list of small arms (including LAWs and light autocannon) I believe to be in service with the Romanian military and security (police) forces. I would invite comments whether the list is correct, if something is missing, if something has been removed from service. Also, some designations or other details (manufacturer names of scopes, for example) are missing. If somebody knows them, please tell me. Thanks!

Cheers

Pusça with Puscă
Pistolul with Pistol
Aruncătorul with Aruncător
Grenade de mâna ofensiva with Grenadă de mână ofensivă
