Re: Mg-42 I don't think so bro.Because to my best knowledge,the SF guys do not make use of FN MAGs since it's heavier.Instead license built PKMs and FN Minimi Paras of imported origins are used by them in GPMG roles and IMI Negevs in SAW roles.On the other hand,FN MAG 58s with bi pods have...

Re: Mg-42 Not correct,they have FN MAGs.

Being a full powered rifle ammunition,the former definitely enjoys quite a significant advantage over the later in terms of range,accuracy,barrier penetration and packs a far heavier 'punch'.For more detailed answers to your question,you should Google 'terminal ballistics' of these two rounds. :)

Ok then,lets get to it.Before I answer to your question,I would like to tell you that the term 7.62 can mean two distinct ammunition types.One is the 7.62X51 mm NATO which is a full powered rifle cartridge where as the other one,7.62X39 mm M 43 which is an intermediate cartridge.As I'm not sure...

Since those men you asked for are unavailable at this time,would you mind if I try to answer your query for the time being??

True indeed,effect of Hollywood you know (and first person shooter video games of course). :D

Well sir,I wasn't imposing my opinion or something,but merely trying to describe the meanings of the abbreviations and their origins.

Well,this article is consistent with other reports about Dragunov SVD available in the public domain,that it is fairly accurate out to a distance of about 800 yards,but beyond that point.............. That is why,in US they label the SVD as a DMR mostly.But a modern sniper rifle,take for...

Sir,AR is short for Assault Rifle and DMR is Designated Marksman Rifle,this terminology is mostly used by the Americans. Here is a wikipedia link: Designated marksman rifle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I see.Then there is not much of a reason I can come up with . Yeah,that's true.But not anymore...............not after those cute glossy rifles failing,all three of them!!But I would say that Indian authorities should find a way to give a better finishing job and aesthetics.Like at least...

By not theirs,I meant that the INSAS was designed and developed by the ARDE,not the OFB. And may be the reason behind the rejection of Excalibur was more to do with its shorter barrel length rather than any kick backs.And the foreign rifles failing in Indian environment is nothing unusual.Those...

But the OFB should have taken a proactive approach rather than sitting upon the design for all this time.Even the design is not theirs!!so what are they here for if they can neither design a firearm nor upgrade it ??

If you buy them from abroad,then yes.But if you produce them at home in bulk,the price will definitely come down.Besides,there is not much need of the frontal quad rails for a DMR and an adjustable butt stock.A cheek rest and an continuous long quad rail on the dust cover should suffice for...

You sure about that?? @Kunal Biswas sir,can you confirm please?? But anyway,the ammo has to be imported,so it wouldn't matter much.

Exactly these sort of modifications I was talking about!!How much would it cost,the modification is mostly cosmetic for better ergonomics,how much could such a modification have costed??Definitely far less that importing a new Dragunov SVD.All the OFB needed was a little bit of far sight and...

Is that so??Ok,lets check their muzzle velocity shall we?? 1.SVD ---- 830 meter/sec 2.SLR ---- 840 meter/sec So pray telling me how the range of a SVD suddenly became so 'far more than that of a SLR'?? And in anyway,you have got it totally mixed up in your comment.So first make up your mind...

But as far as commonality goes,the SLR has got more commonality with simplified logistics profile since the Indian Army's primary GPMG,the FN MAG is also chambered for that caliber.Besides,they do not need to import match grade rounds for SLR because those are already produced in country for the...

Exactly.In fact,No. 36 was still being used in Indian Army till very recently.

Hey sir,is it the same one where a Pakistani hurled a 77 white phosphorus grenade towards you and your leg got burnt??

For 38 years or something.I remember he once told this in WAB.
