It does not suggset that CRPF buys Snipers to fend off such attack...

Snipper against attack on camp or to break ambush !!
There have not been instances of Naxals snipping at the camp from a distance where LMG does nor reach.

The LMG 7.62 mm round can reach 3 km. If you fix an optical sight on the weapon you can hit a target at distant ranges.
I have hit a target at 1.3 km with open iron sights' with an LMG.

IMHO, if the CRPF wants sniper rifles, they should make use of present resources. The 7.62 mm SLR with a telescope is a good enough weapon the US too uses the M-14 as a specialised sniper rifle. A bipod fitted SLR is just as affective as any other sniper rifle.

I wonder if people even understand weapons

Walther Snipe- Germany

Brugger and Thomet- Switzerland.

Truvelo South Africa.

Sako/Beretta sniper

i think you are expecting more about, this would be more then enough...

Kunal ji, W.G Ewald,

can we use this sniper rifle? they say, it is a anti-material rifle and it can kill tangos wearing bullet proof vest and hiding behind concrete wall with ease

BSF Ji,
You do understand what anti material rifle is all about !
Those are not ant personnel weapons but used against light armour, soft skin vehicles and bunkers.
What capability do U have to acquire a target hiding behind a brick wall?
These can be used by BSF on LC or IB to destroy enemy emplacements such as BOPs and bunkers. BSF is not required to do even that.

i agree,

my point was, such a splendid rifle can ensure a kill at very long range even though the tango is hiding inside vehicle or having strong bullet proof vest. if this rifle can kill tango hiding behind concrete wall, then it can penetrate and kill anything on the ground.

com'on insas was never designed to be used as a sniper rifle

I think this gun is Anti-material guns which have heavy armor piercing bullets specially designed for penetrating armors.

it fires massive

12.7x108mm

14.5x114mm

and finally

20x 82mm, fattest guy in the picture..

when these bullets fly, you don't want to be on it's way

First is identification of a target.
Then its acquisistion.
Finally its targetting.

All have parameters and limitations.
Maoists in India do not have bullet proof jackets nor the Paki militants. So why look for a weapon which penetrates bullet proof jacket for CI ops.

Standards 7.62 SLR bullets does that, if that is the singular objective.
Anti material rifles is not required for counter terrorist ops except for NSG type operations or BSF surrounding a Gurudwara or Masjid or Mandir or a large building and then destroying it ( operation Thunder bolt).

It has four types of ammunition as far as I remember. AP, Armour Piercing, Incendiary, Frag etc. Exact details may be checked.

By the way SA firms producing it is banned in India due to scam !!

5.56 or 7.62 do not have that kind of range my friend. plus weapons like Vidhwansak, M82 are physiological weapons too. they may or may not have vest but they do hide in vehicles.
