Thank you for the well explained post. Yes, you are correct, 1 mile - 1.609 km. I was wrong. Now, coming back to the two versions you mentioned, I think this stems from a confusion about interchangeability of parts. The FN-FALs made in India have parts that are not interchangeable with either...

I agree with most of your post. I did not get that imperial units part. I can say 1 mile or 1.59 kilometres, but in either case, it is the same distance.

LMGs are generally fired from prone position, but not necessarily. It all depends upon the situation. I will share with you a video of real warfare, and how an LMG may be used. See from 4:30 onwards. In real warfare, you might not have the luxury of conventional firing. Example of PK...

INSAS LMG The uploader is a soldier in the Indian Army and is from the state of Manipur. Firing the INSAS LMG in fully-auto mode: Man in action, Balraj SIngh Randhawa, liked it. He said, "it was awesome."

Thanks for sharing. Want to see it done faster? INSAS AR Here is a slower one, and this also shows the parts more clearly: The uploader is a soldier in the Indian Army and is from the state of Manipur.

Lots of conflicting reports. I guess we cannot decide which report is true. Anyway, here are a few things about the scrapped tender: India Scraps Assault Rifle Competition Excerpts: Excerpt from ToI article: Another source has a different take on weight: Looks like Excalibur will be...

@Hari Sud, that "Banned" tag appears to be a technical glitch, and has not been deliberately attached. He is not banned, and that is obvious because he is able to post. The technical staff has been notified about the glitch. Hopefully it will be resolved soon. Coming back to the topic, Jane's...

Sir, let's look at the silver lining. At least now the Army is acknowledging that their expectations were unrealistic. I don't know how we can have a marksman's rifle and a CQB rifle all bundled into one. I am not a great fan of having a wide variety of weapons, as it becomes a logistics...

Please read before you write. The INSAS is being replaced by an improved INSAS. It is called MIR - Modified INSAS Rifle, also called Excalibur.

The picture above (in the quote) is real, and of one of the very early versions of the INSAS, taken from a source that was evaluating the rifle. A closeup of any system will show the flaws. Modern INSAS, posted by @Kunal Biswas. L-85 closeup. Finnish Kalashnikov clone, posted by @jouni...

DFI gives an opportunity to everyone to express his or her opinion, however, one must remain within the forum rules. Most members post voluntarily and DFI neither gets paid by members nor pays the members. There were a few exceptional instances where members have voluntarily donated at times of...

Wrong. There is accountability, that is why INSAS has been modified after inputs from people who actually use the INSAS, not people like you. If certain people have made up their minds they will reject indigenous weapons, no one in the world can satisfy them. They are best ignored. Wrong. OFB...

The atmosphere in those factories is far better than the atmosphere in the DGMF's office. I see why the OFB factories would be accused of corruption. After all, OFB don't give kickbacks, unlike the foreign arms vendors. No problem with OFB produced weapons if they are foreign weapons produced...

It really does not matter if the finishing does not look refined. What matters is accuracy and reliability. Every single rifle is checked before being released. Moreover, OFB is a government organization. It is not in the business of marketing its products, like Colt and Bushmaster. It doesn't...

The reality is very different. The wound confirms what Gen. V. K. Singh said about the INSAS, and it also sheds light on the credibility of your comments. Remember: A bad workman always blames his tools.

The INSAS is just fine. I am not saying there is no room for improvement. There always is. The problem is elsewhere, and you got it right - the mindset. Also, refer to what Gen. V. K. Singh said about the INSAS.

We are not having any difficulty with an Assault Rifle. It is the imported rifles who are having difficulties proving their mettle in the conditions they were tested. Please read the INSAS threads.
