No. haven't been able to evaluate, nor have I heard if it's been tested by the FDF, probably it has been at some point. Not many special purpose weapons in the FDF inventory, so I doubt this'll ever become an issued caliber, even if it is conceptually quite interesting round. We try to manage what we have and keep the number of weapons systems as low as possible.
When operating with a suppressor during a covert op we are using subsonic 7.62x39 with RK 95 which has a user operable gas regulator, so the shooter can disconnect the gas system and send rounds silently and operate the bolt manually without a fear of failure to extract or feed. Not as much hitting power, but this is what we got.
