The actual weapon - No difference - it is the same weapon just in differing hands.
My point was - its intended use.

NATO = North Atlantic Treaty Organization.
We (NZ) are a "partner" to this Treaty Organization - why - as we are South Pacific not North Atlantic.
This weaponry would have been purchased to adhere to the agreement with partnership to NATO.
NZ (IMHO) - will never be attacked.
So weaponry like these weapons purchased, are obviously to be used in another part of the World for "NATO" at their demand and request.
