    DRDO Multical Rifle Unveiled

    @Kunal Biswas if you had a rifle which had the feature of changing out the barrel to switch between 5.56 and 7.62x39, and you were trained with the maintenance of this specific rifle, how much of a problem it would be to change the sight zero and managing different recoils ? I'm trying to know...

    DRDO Multical Rifle Unveiled

    Basically at every level, there is bureaucracy, delay, red tape, confusion and the result is a bloated sick system. Curing the symptoms are not going to help much, and maybe the whole system has become too entrenched and big enough to be beyond repair. So taxpayer money will continue to be...

    I didn't say it's cheap, just that it's not hard. Bullet cores are extruded lead wire, casings and jackets are stamped and extruded. All stages can be pipelined in a press machine. How much you have to invest for it is a different matter. IA logistics corps already has to maintain stocks of...

    Whatever the points and counterpoints, opinions of keyboard warriors like us don't matter to the Armed Forces command HQ. Whatever they decide will go. And ammo should not be too hard to produce, just need different stamping and forming dies for the presses. But then again, this is OFB were...

    Last year some info surfaced that OFB has designed a unlicensed copy of the MP5 called Anamika. TFB ran an article about it. http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2016/06/16/of/ P.S. Don't read the comments. News like these don't exactly paint a picture of HK being on good terms.

    Didn't HK refuse to do business with Indian MOD and shortly after create policy of not selling to non NATO members ? And FN didn't really have a pleasant relation either. Back in the 50s they tried to sue for copying FAL, and a settlement had to be chalked out. INSAS upper is quite similar to...

    There's no question that the AR platform's upper-lower design lends itself to a pretty nice degree of modularity. In fact if one can devise some way of using different size magazines in the same lower,(adapters perhaps) then the whole upper can be switched out for caliber changes easily. And...

    Is the US army adopting the IAR concept too ? Cause the Marines seem geared towards expeditionary warfare more than the Army and IAR fits in nicely with their tactics. It seems a bit too specialized for smaller armed forces.
