Rifle is so new, it seemed was taken out of packing for photo ops

Both SSS & OFB manufacturer 0.338 Smiper Rifle which can be ordered by Indian Army Further OFB 20X82 is the best AMR out there. It weighs around 40kg with rifle, bipod, reasonable amount of ammo Not very different from GMAG machine gun team which needs to carry GMAG, Tripod, 600-1000 rounds...

If you are brain dead moron who is easily mislead by Propaganda of import Dalals then you should read and learn. Pigs cannot fly and internet warriors cannot learn. But hoping against hope that you are not an idiot, something to start with...

.338 has been selected by Dalals ONLY because it's not manufactured in India and falls between 7.62 & 0.5' calibre manufactured by OFB. In any case mounting a 0.338 calibre barrel on either OFB platforms 7.62*51-63 or Vidhwansak 12.99-20mm is minor task The reason 0.338 is not preferred as a...

India already has OFB 7.62*51, 7.62*63 bolt action sniper rifles Vidhwansak Bolt action anti material rifle 7.62*51 INSAS which can be used as DMR BUT Arms Dalal lobby very powerful

Galil sniper rifle is just over hyped, costly, imported 7.62x51 rifle with side mounted scope. We can induct 1 lakh DMR by mounting a side mounted mid power scope alongwith bipod on our SLRs which in storage, for only Rs. 200 crore. These Rifles can use standard ammo till sniper ammo is produced...

The problem with Indian system is that it is geared for creating a case for costly imports. No one is interested in providing equipment and weapons from indigenous sources which are modified or specialised for low intensity warfare. Providing DMR rifles to our forces by modifying stored SLRs is...

The problem with Indian Army doctrine is that it is very outdated We continue to concentrate on high profile gold plated costly imports while neglecting the basics We have to evolve four parts of our doctrine The first part relates to providing good halographic sights and low power optics across...

Army is still testing the shit out of Dhanush but did not even bat a eyelid when M777 barrel imploded. As ATAGS cleared all tests, so they have asked for improvements . No actual orders except 18 (not 114) Dhanush.

After INSAS 7.62x51 Assault Rifle and Sniper bolt action was developed by OFB, IA decided that it wants 0.338 caliber for Sniper rifle. No points for guessing why!

Along with Sniper doctrine, we should have DMR specialization in Infantry Sections. Every Section should have atleast 2 DMRs. Repurposed 7.62 Isapore SLR kept in storage should be modified with scopes for this use. Around 50,000 DMR can be inducted in one month at a minor cost of Rs. 100-200 crores.

Vidhawansak has weight between 25-29 kg depending on configuration/caliber. http://ofbindia.gov.in/products/data/weapons/wmc/add_10.htm Even FN GPMG extensively used by Indian Army has weight with tripod of 22kg. Minimum ammo of 20-50kg will also need to be carried. So weapon plus ammo is...

Use of few snipers rifles in special caliber does not make it main stream use. Pls give the number of conventional caliber in use compared to inducted by these nations??

OFB already makes 7.62x51 & 7.62x63 bolt action rifles. It can easily develop a variant firing 8.6mm round unless offcourse import itself is the first preference. Also can someone give me list of nations that have ordered 5000 bolt action 8.6mm sniper rifles? I will give a hint ::::::: NIL. This...

If IA is ok with side mounted optics for Galil then the same principle can be used to convert Indian Isapore SLR to DMR but Indian products don't normally get Dalal support. And with new Demonetization policy, everyone will like Dollars only
