This pix seems to be from a demonstration and in such demonstrations we keep magazines empty.

can't say for sure. MARCOs are no more tasked with VBSS. It is SPB which has been given this job now.

@Kunal Biswas and others: since the amogh fires 5.45 x 30mm, is it possible for it to fire the 5.45 x 45mm (regular insas rounds),as only the length varies and the dia of the catridge is same?

Yeah it is possible with some small adjustments. In fact it has been done before. The gun will need a new reciever, some modification to the gas system and rotating bolt, barrel length would have to be increased by 164mm, the weight will go up by around 1.2 Kg, although it will gain the capability to add 40mm under barrel grenade launcher. Here's a picture of the said variant.

The bullet used is same in both 1B1 and Amogh, But the casing in case of Amogh is half the size of 1B1 ..

The Carbine was Kalantak which was rejected due to inaccuracy compare to 1B1, this is coz of short barrel ..

Kalantak was Indian M4 if inducted and perhaps most gud looking INSAS too ..

Ordnance factories bag order for 30,000 carbines

Girja Shankar Kaura

New Delhi, February 5
The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) has placed an order for 30,000 carbines for the country's para-military forces with the state-run ordnance factories which will come as a major boost for the Ordnance Factory Board (OFB).

Ordnance factory officials from the unit at Tiruchchirappalli, while at the recently concluded Defexpo 2006, said besides the 5.56-mm indigenously developed carbine the OFB had also developed a wide array of small arms, including a "bunker buster" rifle that will soon be tested by the Army.

The officials said the 5.56-mm indigenously developed carbine had been approved by the Home Ministry following extensive tests. The order for the 30,000 carbines would be executed by the ordnance factories at Tiruchchirappalli and Kanpur and the Rifle Factory Ishapore. The carbines would be used by paramilitary forces like the Border Security Force (BSF) and Seema Sashastra Bal (SSB).

The carbine is based on the basic design of the INSAS group of small arms developed by the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO). While the Army has accepted the INSAS assault rifle, it had sought certain changes in the design of the carbine.

Remember the 5.56 X 30 Amogh over 5000 of those rifles have also been supplied. Much bigger orders can be had if ammo supply is sorted out.

The Indian Coast Guard has emerged as a major buyer of the Amogh 5.56 x 30 mm carbine.
