    New Assault Rifles for Indian Army

    This is the civilian version which fires .22LR. I have fired .22, it hardly has any more recoil than an air rifle. 5.56 or 7.62 has much higher recoil.

    New Assault Rifles for Indian Army

    Aah! The old "personal attack when no arguments stand" technique... :rolleyes: Since you fail to produce any substantive argument to support yours and refute mine, instead resort to personal attacks, I will consider your knowledge on guns not even a fraction of your knowledge of tanks. I fare...

    New Assault Rifles for Indian Army

    Again, Better ergonomics how? In which part? Neither can the MSBS be reconfigured in to bullpup design in field. The bullpup and the regular are 2 different guns which have a common/interchangeable upper. Are you trying to imply that a soldier would lug around 2 lowers with him on the field...

    New Assault Rifles for Indian Army

    Please be specific: Much better designed how? Not comparable in capabilities how? What unnecessary gizmos? ARX-160 retails for less than $2000, how much is MSBS supposed to cost? "assault rifle can't be too light or too heavy" is just a vague obfuscatory sentence which offers any debatable...

    New Assault Rifles for Indian Army

    MSBS can be compared to the Magpul Masada/Bushmaster ACR. Still 1 step behind the ARX-160. Not to mention the ARX-160 is 2-2.5 lb lighter than the MSBS/Magpul Masada/Bushmaster ACR. MSBS would need to be sent to the armoury to be converted, if at all possible (I am yet to look on the net for...

    New Assault Rifles for Indian Army

    With the new indigenization drive, any chance of this deal getting scrapped? Though I am in love with the ARX-160, would love it even more if a new designed modular INSAS Excalibur type of rifle with 4 way p-rails are adopted instead.

    IMHO that is speculation. Let's wait for official communique from MoD and not jump to conclusions. Beretta is participating for RFP, not FMS.

    New Assault Rifles for Indian Army

    As per the review: Looks like they have taken lots of "fire under all condition" features of the H&K 416 & improved further.

    New Assault Rifles for Indian Army

    @Kunal Biswas Sir, with Lubricant less operation (Only lubrication in Trigger group, none in Barrel/Bolt group) and tool less disassembly, would cleaning be a hassle? The hollow folding stock even contains a field cleaning kit. Some more details for ARX-160: Chambered for: 5.45×39 Soviet...
