Here's the thing - constables end up being the first responders to any kind of violent incident (even a terror strike), Some degree of lethal armament might be useful. I understand and once shared your position (in my country cops weren't fully armed until August 1990) but perhaps it can be...

Oh boy. Love it!. Ask yourself this - has the equipment of the average constable improved since then?

This I can accept. To expect immediate perfection is insane. The issues can be resolved but OFB better get its act together. They have been given the first chance and can deliver. The weapon was inadequately tested before trials. More haste less speed.

I am hoping (maybe in vain) that some photos can be found? I'm a fan of such guns. The M1 Garand was seen with the Punjab police in the 1980s and one Thompson in the hands of the TN task forces in about 1995 hunting Verappan (with a M3 Grease Gun too). Any photos anyone has from anywhere much...

It was the AR-15 and JFR Jacob was on the evaluation team. When the INSAS was adopted, he was bemused as the AR-15 was rejected partly because of its calibre.

Bornubus, M3 still in SFF service ? Any photos of the M1 Carbine etc in Indian service?

I don't know if anyone has seen this but there was a RSTV documentary on the ITBP. Here are some caps of some of the weapons issued to the ITBP in its formative years. I can ID M3 Grease Guns, BARs, M1 Garands, M1919A6 LMGs, M1911 0.45 (revolvers not so good at identifying), variants of SMLE GF...
