    Dude! Rifle technology is nearly 70 years old!! Nothing much has really changed . If OFB/DRDO cannot produce something that matches even an AK47 then they should hang their heads in shame!

    New Assault Rifles for Indian Army

    In large and complex business deals (like Rafale), both L1 & L2 are selected and then the actual price haggling and term negotiations take place.

    Your commentary on the incorrect use of the sling is spot on!! However, when it comes to bullpup I am still not convinced.

    The fact that you need to spell something so obvious to some members speaks volumes on the quality of posts! That dude was confusing war with rifle shooting competitions !!

    That's the most brain dead comment I've seen in recent times. Your use of (incorrect) metaphor is pathetic.
