You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.197.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 10:52, 20 August 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

The '''STL-1A''' (or also called the '''STL-A1''')<ref>((cite web | url=https://anninhthudo.vn/quan-su/viet-nam-tu-san-xuat-mau-sung-truong-ak103/746565.antd | title=Việt Nam tự sản xuất mẫu "súng trường AK-103" | date=7 November 2017 ))</ref> rifle is an [[assault rifle]] made in [[Vietnam]]. It is produced at the [[Z111 Factory]]. It is wholly an upgrade version for the [[AKM]] rifle, but is commonly compared to an [[AK-103]].<ref name=":0" /> The rifle is chambered in [[7.62×39mm|7.62x39mm]].<ref name=":0">((cite web|title=Vietnam has upgraded Kalashnikov AKM under the name STL-1A |url=https://www.armyrecognition.com/weapons_defence_industry_military_technology_uk/viertnam_has_upgraded_kalashnikov_akm_under_the_name_stl-1a.html|website=www.armyrecognition.com|access-date=2019-04-17))</ref>

The prototype of the STL-1A was converted from a 1972-built Soviet AKM rifle.<ref>((Cite web |date=2018-11-07 |title=[ẢNH] Vũ khí bộ binh hiện đại do Việt Nam chế tạo tại Triển lãm Indo Defence 2018 |url=https://www.anninhthudo.vn/post-373782.antd |access-date=2023-11-20 |website=Báo điện tử An ninh Thủ đô |language=vi))</ref> The STL was never seen enter mass production and issued by the Vietnam People's Army, while as of 2023, its successor [[STV rifle]] has already been chosen as the [[service rifle]] for the Vietnamese security forces.

== History ==
It was originally announced in 2015 that the [[Z111 Factory]] would begin producing STL-1A rifles<ref>((cite web|url=http://baodatviet.vn/quoc-phong/quoc-phong-viet-nam/lo-dien-hai-mau-sung-cuc-la-do-viet-nam-san-xuat-3345729/|title=Lộ diện hai mẫu súng cực lạ do Việt Nam sản xuất|website=baodatviet.vn|access-date=2019-04-17))</ref> in an occasion to celebrate [[National Day (Vietnam)|Vietnamese National Day]] for Vietnamese defense industry accomplishments.<Ref>((Cite web|url=https://soha.vn/sung-truong-tan-cong-ket-hop-galil-ace-va-akm-doc-nhat-vo-nhi-cua-viet-nam-20181108095108388.htm|title = Súng trường tấn công kết hợp Galil ACE và AKM độc nhất vô nhị của Việt Nam))</ref> As the STL-1A is based on the older [[AKM]] rifles, the factory would convert AKMs and its variants into the new STL-1A rifles. The factory also has the ability to produce these new rifles from scratch.

At the Indo Defence Expo 2018 event, a new variant which combined the STL-1A and the [[IWI ACE|Galil ACE]] was announced under the name GK3.<ref>((Cite web|last=hợp)|first=Phong Vũ (Tổng|date=2019-09-15|title=Súng trường tấn công GK1 và GK3 Việt Nam chế tạo có gì đặc biệt? - Doanh nghiệp Việt Nam|url=https://doanhnghiepvn.vn/quoc-te/sung-truong-tan-cong-gk1-va-gk3-viet-nam-che-tao-co-gi-dac-biet/20190915034627518|access-date=2021-01-31|website=Cơ quan ngôn luận của Hiệp hội Doanh nghiệp Khoa học và Công nghệ Việt Nam|language=vi))</ref><ref>((Cite web|url=https://soha.vn/sung-truong-tan-cong-ket-hop-galil-ace-va-akm-doc-nhat-vo-nhi-cua-viet-nam-20181108095108388.htm|title=Súng trường tấn công kết hợp Galil ACE và AKM độc nhất vô nhị của Việt Nam|last=VCCorp.vn|website=soha.vn|language=vi|access-date=2020-03-04))</ref>

As of recent, it is unknown whether or not the rifle continues to be manufactured. Due to the more recent creation of the [[STV Rifles]] and their adoption as the new standard issued service rifle, it is likely the [[Z111 Factory]] has prioritized production of those over the development of the STL-1A.<ref>((Cite web|date=2020-07-17|title=STV-380 and STV-215 - New Service Rifles of Vietnamese Army -|url=https://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2020/07/17/stv-380-and-stv-215-new-service-rifles-of-vietnamese-army/|access-date=2021-03-25|website=The Firearm Blog|language=en-US))</ref>

== Design ==
Although the rifle itself is a copy of the [[AKM]] that highly resembles a [[Vietnam|Vietnamese]] version of an [[AK-103]],<ref name=":0" /> it's upgraded in many areas such as new polymer handguards, folding stock, a new ergonomic pistol grip and muzzle brake based on the AK-74 with side-mounted rails to attach scopes.<ref name="ST">((Cite web|url=https://baomoi.com/sung-truong-tan-cong-cua-viet-nam-bat-ngo-len-bao-nuoc-ngoai/c/27916835.epi|title = Súng trường tấn công của Việt Nam bất ngờ lên báo nước ngoài|date = 7 April 2021))</ref><ref name=":0" />
