I might be wrong but this will turn out to be a blunder

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

 

[Jackd]

There are many systems that are not imported. One has to realize that no country can make everything it requires. I also feel a bit dismayed when hearing about imports but we have to see that for decades the military industry was closed to private players and even if competition existed it wasn't significant. In 2005 or 2006 (correct me if I am wrong), govt started allowing others to make hardware and software for the armed forces. Recently, a spate of equipments made in India have been inducted into the armed forces and there is certainly a hope that most of our products will be Indian made.
Competition is vital to realise this ambition, as competition fosters research and drives companies to produce better products.

It might be a blunder or mistake from the IA side because this Korean gun (5.56 nato) is still under development and expected to enter service in 2020s. If it is one of the finalists then that means that IA has not decided on which caliber they should standardised.

Or I think, The news of shortlisting of K2-C2 and 2 other weapons is just a rumor....

Hope my guess is as good as your, imho other two shortlisted weapons are also largely untested and rarely in service with other services around.

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ACE is an outdated design while tavor 7 is impractical and cannot sustain prolonged firing due to its composite receiver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 useless shit for 10 times the cost of indigenous Rifles

For the 7.62x39 RFI, ofb ghatak rifle and AAR came into picture again, even the Russian ak 103 will be cheaper....

Galil ACE can fulfill all the calibers mentioned in the requirement.

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

 

[Raj Malhotra]

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

I didnot see cook off in that video. Cook offs are most likely to occur in DI based guns. Piston stroke guns have less chance of cook offs, unless used in hot conditions and prolonged firing.

My bad.... I've posted the video to only show a jam and cocking off of the gun in field. But as I already mentioned, this is because of other factor rather then mechanical failure. In the same situation I would love to see some much sought after rifles.

See this video: the M249 gunner puts down sustained fire rate for minutes! This despite the fact that a M249 has greater risk of getting contaminated with dust and debris, given its open architecture vis a vis the INSAS
