Pakkis, I think they have. Not sure though...
I have also participated in NATO-exercises. Battle Griffin where we fought Americans. Our guns are AG3 which hit you hard!!
The American M16 are like peas - no power 
They were more disciplined then us though, they attacked in patterns. I guess you get better soldiers and training when your service is non-mandatory.
