If @binayak95 is right and our deal for SIG716s is coming with Magpul aftermarket accessories, that could really open up Magpul and a number of other US-based component manufacturers to enter the Indian market. So far, the aftermarket weapon parts business in the country seems to be dominated by the 2 Israeli companies FAB Defense and TDI Arms, they captured the market for everyone from military Special Forces to state Police units.

A little bit more competition won't hurt.

That looks like very heavy recoil.

His stance is not proper during as the butt is not held firmly gainst his shoulder.

just in case you haven't watched this video ....

Why the divergence ? Just camera angle. Or that's a different version / prototype .

at first glance i thought the two metals bars are flexing on recoil. but more likely that the guy is trying to hold the weapon an inch away from the shoulder.

Recoil can be there....... Minsas is much more powerful than regular smg rounds like 9mm, 45 acp, 5.7 etc. Also the way it is firing in semi auto mode, full auto will not be that controlable as expected from an smg

OFB's new unnamed CQB Carbine 5.56x45 mm NATO ammunition, for the #IndianArmy. Design borrows from the INSAS 1C design, modifications like a machined receiver over the INSAS’ stamped and riveted body, a single Picatinny rail to take an assortment of weapon sights and accessories.

Looks ancient. Won't stand a chance against the carbines offerd to the army by competition

Really? Even after the same competition was thrashed by Excalibur? We sure are suffering from an inferiority complex

I really wish this news that came in News papers was true but I tried to find any official statement or any document on exactly how well Ex-cal performed and I could not find any . All the statements are from some officials who would want only Excal to succeed .. Do you have any confirmed link where I can see how well the Ex-Cal performed and how bad rest of its competitors performed ?

There is no evidence to support the claim that Excalibur THRASHED competition. Quite the rumors to the opposite, if anything.

And manufacturing and finishing of OFB leaves a lot to be desired. Shoddy work, zero accountability and chalta hai attitude is rampant.

There is. Excalibur was & is an excellent rifle. The only reason it wasn't used is the army deciding to go with 7.62 ammo

It didn't meet the qualitative requirements laid down by the army.

 

[Pandeyji]

It didn't meet the qualitative requirements laid down by the army.

It did. Then the army changed the requirements asking for 7.62×51 guns instead. It is like when somebody comes 1^st in the race & then the jusges say the finish line has been moved farther

The 7.62x51 rifle too didn't meet the requirements. It was outperformed by the galil ace and sig rifles
