This weapon is a direct derivation of the STGW battle rifle (see Swiss Battle Rifles). It is developed from the earlier 710-1 and 710-2 machineguns, and is used by Swiss forces, by Brunei, and by some South American nations. Though less expensive to produce than the 710-1 and 710-2, the 710-3 is still a costly weapon to manufacture, and that has limited its service. The quality of the weapon is high, though.
