From what I understand, the Excalibur mk1c and the Insas 1c is the same rifle..chambered for 5.56*45mm. Could someone please confirm.

Also, what is the difference in weight between the Insas 1c/Excalibur mk1c and the OFB developed 7.62*51mm rifle? If someone could give specs of both, would be great to see the difference in their dimensions etc

It is unfair to compare weights of guns of calibre 5.56x45 and 7.62x51. They are miles apart in terms of firepower, muzzle energy, magazine weight, cartridge weight and barrel pressure.

Yes, I do understand that.....I just wanted to know for the sake of being aware of how heavier the 7.62x51 gun would be, as compared to the Insas 1c.

Insas excalibur MK1C is chambered in 5.56x45mm and its empty weight is 3.81kg while Insas mk1c chambered in 7.62x51mm and weighs 4.5kg. There will be different weight for the Excalibur if it sports barrels of different length.

There no excalibur mk-1c.

Excalibur mk-1 has stamped steel receiver, insas mk-1c's is milled aluminium.

One thing I've always wondered is the relative advantages and/or disadvantages of the 2 most popular UBGL designs against each other. The Russian GP-25 series seems more practical with it's short barrel, unitary caseless rounds and muzzle loading operation, when comparing against the M203 series and it's longer length for accommodating a breech, and the casing-shell design of the rounds.

Both fire 40mm projectiles at around 250 ft/s, then why exactly did ARDE base the domestic UBGL on the M203 ? They seem a bit too long on the AK, even longer on the Tavors.

@Kunal Biswas thoughts ?

 

[Kunal Biswas]

Its mostly related to accuracy ..

One cannot put a 40mm UBGL round from GP-30 at center of a window size target from 60ms ..

GP-25/30/34 are best suited within 25-50 ms range, Indirect fire is same as other UBGLs ..

The long barrel does have it's upsides I guess. Do we use rifle grenades, seeing how newer marks on the INSAS doesn't have the barrel ribs for that near the muzzle.

 

[Kunal Biswas]

Police and Paramilitary still use rifle grenades, But they will discontinue it ..

Do we use rifle grenades,

Note the jugaad LMG mount which has movement in traverse as well as elevation. Elevation is controlled by left hand aided by what looks like a counter-weight
