Army will never buy Indian goods even if they are from Army School

Anyway thx for pics. It shows we have developed 3 type of 5.56*45 rifles MCIWS based on HK416 DRDO CQB Carbine based on SIG INSAS IC based on AK/Galil apart from less known bullpup INSAS, Kalantak, 2 trigger carbine etc but Army only interested in imports. Wonder what else we are developing...

All indigenous rifles are dead INSAS & mciws will be superceded by Sig, ak203 DRDO carbine by carcal & ak203 Ghatak & tiruchi by ak203 Excaliber & INSAS carbine by ak203 Hence imported Sig, Ak 203, Carcal will supercede everything Apart from that imported sniper, amr, lmg, hmg Will...

If it's RFI stage then it will be followed by RFP process and then trials. So many years to go.

Due technology improvement latest 7.62x51 rifle is the same size and weight of earlier 5.56*45 rifles. That is new 7.62*51 rifle would be 1.5 kg lighter & 4-8 inch shorter than Isapore SLR. Therefore 7.62*51 rifles are making a come back.

My point is that multiple Rifles in multiple calibres is available from indigenous sources itself. Rather then going for import of costly imported Rifles it is more important to upgrade or modify indigenous Rifles to upgrade the "Skills". We have lakhs of FN FAL Rifles which are hardly used...

Even Dragnov cannot shoot 1 MOA. It is considered to be around 2 to 3 MOA. While specialised SR 25 of USA is also 1.5 MOA. For a section level DMR it adequate to have 2to3 MOA weapon with routine ammo. Modified FNFAL for 100-400m For Company level Sniper we need 1.5 MOA weapon. OFB bolt...

If we look at M14 EBR then upgrading FNFal is adequate. We should have at least 2 DMR per section which would be around 20-25 per Company. If DMR can hit point targets upto 400m then it's good enough and FNs can do that with side mounted Scopes. The role of sniper is more specialised and we...

Some kid rambling nonsense... Using some military jargon which he learnt from Uncle

Ofb manufacturers both 7. 62 mm and 12. 7 mm Sniper rifles and anti material rifle Therefore the requirement was created for 8. 6 mm sniper rifles in order to create a demand for a rifle which is 10 times more costly than indigenous versions

Thousands of cororrs worth of 9 mm submachine guns were imported on the pretext that India does not manufacture latest submachine guns as soon as a OFB reverse engineered MP5, requirement of 9 mm submachine guns vanished and got converted to a new calibre

It does not matter to dalals about what product is imported till something is imported which is costly and preferably useless ACE is an outdated design while tavor 7 is impractical and cannot sustain prolonged firing due to its composite receiver Inspired Thereof, we are ready to import this...

Import Madness. Everything from Pistol to howitzers and tanks is being imported by our Indian ? Army

I think Bulgarian and East German AK were considered better than Russian ones

Assumptions are fine, till they are backed up with some basic reading and knowledge of the subject. One cannot crap on a thread and then say, let's assume it's a mango.

I think that as part of "genuine" Make in India, Govt should task DRDO to develop following variants of MCIWS:- Conventional 7.62x51 rifle Bull-pub 7.62x51 rifle Forward ejecting Bullpub 7.62x51 rifle
