This video details Estonia's adoption of the Galil AR and SAR rifles in the 1990s as their first standardized NATO-caliber small arms. It covers the procurement process, specific model details like the AR's folding stock and 35-round magazines, and early modernization efforts. The review highlights the 2008 B&T upgrade package, including Aimpoint optics and quad rails, and unique mounting solutions developed locally.

The Vektor CP-1, despite its poor reputation and a significant recall, proved surprisingly pleasant to shoot in a BUG match. Ian McCollum found its trigger and recoil management to be excellent, outperforming expectations. A recurring issue with the magazine floor plate sliding off was noted, but mitigated by 'Barney loading' for the final stage.

The Vektor SS77 is a South African GPMG developed in the 1970s due to arms embargoes. It features a design influenced by the SG-43 Goryunov, AR-18, and FN MAG, incorporating a side-tilting bolt and a quick-change barrel. Initial reliability issues led to a redesign in the 1990s, resulting in an improved version.

The Colt-Vektor prototype, part of the late 1990s ProTec series, uniquely blended the iconic 1911 external design with the internal mechanics of the Beretta 92. Developed through a partnership with South Africa's Vektor, this firearm aimed to revitalize Colt's handgun offerings after several market failures. Despite its innovative design and even testing as a 'smart gun,' the project was ultimately canceled.

The Vektor H5 is a South African pump-action rifle developed in the early 1990s as a civilian-legal alternative to the Galil. It features a spring-assisted pump action, a flat top cover for optics mounting, and uses standard Galil magazines. While offered in various barrel lengths and stock configurations, it lacked iron sights and was typically sold with a scope. Its production became largely obsolete after South African firearm laws changed in 2004.

The Vektor CR-21 is a rare South African bullpup rifle based on the Galil's AK-style action, chambered in 5.56mm. While rare and featuring a manageable cyclic rate, its early bullpup design presents ergonomic challenges, particularly with magazine changes and control placement. Despite its quirks, the rifle demonstrates good controllability during full-auto fire.
