That's ridiculous. Countries like Germany, France, Spain, the UK, Australia, Austria, etc. have some of the most stringent gun laws and are still the largest small arms makers in the world. Even neutral Switzerland with a fraction of the adult population and a ceremonial conscription (allows...

Private companies would happily pump in the money if they are incentivized. Currently, even if they pumped in some money and got some new form of alloy for the barrels, they will have to fend off as the Army will buy imported guns only and thus these companies will end up becoming component...

Pakistani-made. There was a video somewhere recently that I saw of the M4A1-style and AR-15-style assault rifles being made somewhere in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Apparently, AR-style rifles are "in vogue" after decades of AK-style rifles. There is a big chance that Pakistanis got it from their...

Man! that looks so sexy.. I wish we had easier gun laws in India. Like somewhere in between present India and the USA. At least for handguns and shotguns if not military-style semi-auto assault rifles.

You are right; I was assuming more of a Paki/roohani yahoos scenario. But against PLA's armour, 51 would be much more potent.

You mention fair points. But like you said about inventory maintenance, don't you think that it would be hell for the stores to have AKs, SIGs, TARs, INSAS, etc. at a macro level? As for your question, I believe usage would be of 7.62 X 39 mm calibre rifle? A carbine when engaged in an urban...

Bhai sahab, calm down. The 500 meter target was always there before India considered getting SIGs. The ruski rifel you are talking about is not my words but the word of soldiers using them. I think that counts more than any tendering process or political decision-making. I am not in favour of...

One thing I can always tell you is that if you go and ask a kid what he wants in a candy store, he is going to change his mind every two minutes. Streamlining equipment types, their logistics, etc. is the job of mid-senior and senior military officers along with MOD personnel. Those operating...

Forces seem to have a different opinion, especially those operating in open mountainous terrains. They love the AK series. Especially the 103+ onward variants. They are powerful, reliable and have a better recoil compensation making them more accurate. AKs are not there just for emotions -...

I am still optimistic to give Trichy Assault Rifle a second chance. It looks decent enough and as they say, fire really fast. If they can slow down the rate of fire to 650 BPM, then we can expect this to be inducted en masse.

I hope that this doesn't take eternity to get inducted in favour of some firangi assault rifle. I like the hybrid look of it though.. a mix of M4 and AK-47. Nice going. Finally an assault rifle that can be comparable to the world's quality ones!
