    New Assault Rifles for Indian Army

    With all humility here are few suggestion regarding the upcoming AK 103 deal: 1 Ak 103 is a very good rifle with proven credentials ,which has been upgraded into AK 203(which is purely meant for export),but buying this rifle for the army does not make much sense as the Russians themselves are...

    Long stroke piston is fine,recoil will be there,but they can reduce the perceived recoil (recoil which the shooter experience) This can be done with new muzzle brake design,recoil pad on the stock,well engineered stock,a good buffer spring . Beside recoil , if I am designing a new rifle in...

    New Assault Rifles for Indian Army

    I had mentioned terrorist because as per you it was difficult to train for a bullpup.Indian army is a professional army and it can train for any weapon system,period! I have come across australian and british soldiers who have transitioned from SLR to bullpup (sa80 ,AUG ) ,they had no...

    New Assault Rifles for Indian Army

    I have explained to you that there is no "major" reason that regular infantry cannot go in for bullpup design. Regarding training,I don't think it's a big deal. If terrorist and rag tag rebels can use a bullpup,I am sure even a professional army can train for it. You can fire in full...

    New Assault Rifles for Indian Army

    I am not saying bullpup are perfect,having said that most modern bullpup are refined and they do not have any " major" problems.With most of the weight at rear they are more easy to hold for a longer period of time ,as most of the weight is transferred to the shoulder and your stronger arm.Since...
