Did were the G3A3s still in widely use in the Vadamarachchi Operation?

Also, the Type 95 is only used by the Special Forces. And i think so does the Type 81. The FNC was used in the Vadamarachchi Operation Also, Correct?

I don't think the G3A3s are used very much anymore. I've seen hundreds of photos from the conflict, and the G3's use by the SLA pretty much seems to stop by the 1990s. I'm sure they are still used by reserves and other rear-echelon forces, but the vast, vast majority of SLA personnel I've seen on the front lines (both during the Vadamarachchi offensive and before) have Type 56s now.

They especially seem to have bought many of the Type 56-2 side-folder, which isn't too common anywhere else in the world. Not sure why they prefer that variant.
