I have nothing against AK-203....On the contrary, i have written above, that Indian Army knows the best ...as nobody else knows their operational requirements better than them.... But this is also a fact, that Russian army has inducted just two rifles (AK-12 and AK-15)...So logic dictates that...

All Valid points .......Just that AK-15 is in 7.62x39, and not 5.45x39 :)....Just like AK-203...So even though AK-15 is lighter, it has to be a controllable rifle, otherwise Russian forces wouldn't have adopted it... AK -12 is in 5.45x39 and Russia has inducted both....Two rifles for two...

https://idsa.in/idsacomments/ak-203-make-in-india_chinoy-lkbehera-110319 The highlighted portion, perhaps provides the answer, of why India has finalized AK-203 over AK-15. There are few questions though : 1. AK-203 is an improved version of AK-103, and was supposed to be an Interim...

OK....So it was a diffrent Col Mahadik....too many similarities so the confusion and question...thanks for the clarification .... And, i don't doubt what Mr. Anand is writing...I believe, i am not qualified to JUDGE or question what a serving officer writes....I come from a family of serving...

This info about Col Mahadik, comes as a complete surprise !!!....This has to be the same Col Mahadik of PARA SF, who was on deputation to RR, when he was martyred by terrorist bullets (as far as my information)......Then where is the info above coming from ???? and Does RR even use 9mm carbines ???

True ...It's a love or hate at first sight for most.... But it's the first choice of trained professionals by far ...out here in US and elsewhere too......Even a traditional army like that of UK have adopted Glock 17 recently(they used to use Browning earlier)....

LMT(in 7.62x51) is indeed one of the best platforms today, but in DMR category...and is heavier than HK 417 and SCAR17.......Also, it's direct impingement (atleast the DMR which Brits use)...but is very highly rated in NATO forces.... As per my knowledge, this contract is predominantly for...

Exactly my point.....I asked in a diffrent thread, why we see only INSAS and not M4s and Tavors in Siachen ? That means it's one of the MOST reliable small arms platforms in world....But it needs to continously updgrade ...and that is by incorporting the new features in new designs like HK 433...

Actually, i wasn't suggesting that this gun should be adopted by India...rather i posted it in response to the SIG 556 info...I am a big fan of INSAS 1C, but feel that the platform should continously evolve and borrow best design features from leading designs like these Just to share, just...

SIG 556 is indeed a superb weapon....But the new SIG MCX platform is an ultimate evolution of this rifle...It's very light, handy and very modular(handled one myself).... Many Police agencies in US and Europe have adopted it as well as the Dutch MARSOF...

Absolutuly right ! I am quite aware that Arsenal has a model called MG-M2 in 7.62 x 51mm with disintegrating belt (the version i posted above in Larry Vickers poster is from same company but with non disintegrating belt)... their catalog http://www.arsenal-bg.com/c/machine-guns-26 I think i...

And maybe this is the Future of HMG (Heavy Machine Guns) to replace all .50 caliber M2 Machine Guns... A Light Weight Medium Machine gun which weighs just 24 pounds and Chambered in very powerful .338 Norma Magnum...

As per my dicussions with some US Servicemen, the PKM was the most effective and feared weapon, in hands of the enemy in Afghanistan and Iraq...Very light and effective and mobile....One of the limitation of the PKM is that it uses a NON disintegrating belts which restricts mobility, unlike the...
