The '''LAG''' (Dutch: '''L'''icht '''A'''utomatisch '''G'''eweer, English: Light Automatic Rifle) is a Lindian {{wp|battle rifle}} designed and produced by the Lindian arms manufacturer [[Bouwer]]. Martin Ranervelt, an engineer at Bouwer, is often credited as its designer. The rifle saw service during the [[Cold War (Sunalaya)|Cold War]] as the standard issue rifle for many militaries around [[Sunalaya]]. Production of the rifle started in 1953, and is ongoing to this day. Despite many of its users replacing the rifle with more modern variants, the LAG is still in service primarily fulfilling {{wp|designated marksman}} roles.
==History==
==Variants==
Due to the widespread use of the LAG, many variants of the rifle have seen production. Most of these variants only had subtle changes compared to the four variants produced by [[Bouwer]].

===LAG P===
The LAG P (Licht Automatisch Geweer, Paratroeper - Light Automatic Rifle, Paratrooper) is a LAG with a collapsible stock and shorter barrel, meant for use by airborne and airmobile infantry. 

===LAG IK===
Similar to the paratrooper variant, the LAG IK has a collapsible stock. The IK designation is an abbreviation for ''inklapbare kolf'', which is translated as "collapsible stock". Unlike the LAG P it does not have a shortened barrel.

===LAG PAW===
Bouwer's only LAG with an automatic fire option, it was meant for usage by paratrooper, airmobile and marine infantry units as a {{wp|squad automatic weapon}}. It featured a built in bipod and a heavy barrel for sustained automatic fire.
