    New Assault Rifles for Indian Army

    This is possibly the most advanced LMG/ IAR (similar to Ultimax 100), utilizing the "constant-recoil operating system". How i wish, DRDO developed something like this for our Indian Armed forces. Or as we have a separate Tender for LMGs; we procure this one or Ultimax 100 for our forces...

    New Assault Rifles for Indian Army

    Lots of contradictory and confusing information..... Tavor 7 and Car 817 are in 7.62x51mm calibre....whereas K2C is in 5.56x45mm....so if K2C is the only 5.56 rifle, chosen , it is the winner by defualt :) :) ......Also, i used to think that there is an immediate Tender/ requirement for 7.62x...

    New Assault Rifles for Indian Army

    New Assault Rifles for Indian Army

    I am confused ....where is all this info coming from.....as far as i know both Tavor 7 and Galil Ace (also Negev series, Uzi and Galil Sniper) all come from a single company called IWI and not IMI (https://iwi.net/), which has collaberation with Punj (they have a manufacturing facility in MP...

    New Assault Rifles for Indian Army

    In US, for long range competition the 6.5 Creedmore beats everything. You'll see US adopting a variation of 6.5 Creedmore as it's service catridge and rest of NATO countries will follow, in coming years.....

    New Assault Rifles for Indian Army

    Quick correction ....the round used in K11 is 20x30mm and diffrent modes of operation are as below: Two conventional 20 mm shells either detonate immediately on impact or on a timed fuse after impact. A third type of shell is controlled by the weapon’s integrated electronics to explode a few...

    New Assault Rifles for Indian Army

    Indeed and what it can do is Frightening ! Imagine two armies hunkered down in bunkers and behind barriers......Then one Army gets hold of a Rifle system carried by one soldier , which fires smart projectiles (20 mm programmable grenades, are electronically set to explode for airburst at...

    New Assault Rifles for Indian Army

    That is why i mentioned in my previous post, that if an Indian Rifle can match these foreign ones, the Indian rifle should be chosen.(comparison trials) It's quite obvious, that IA will not only do prolonged testing in Indian conditions, but also with INDIAN AMMUNITION....What they are doing...

They make very very highly rated rifles and they have won the UK and NZ contracts, competing against HK417 and FN 17....But the UK contract was for Designated Marksman rifle and not battle rifles as the Indian army contract is..... It's said that LMT won...
