Yeah after he replied I realised he didn't me 'us' as in India.

Yeah man, hate to break it to you but the troops aren't great at proper weapons ID. They regularly say that awful copies of M4 and AK rifles are actually "US" or "Russian" imports. This picture got posted on Reddit and none of the other firearms enthusiasts seem to think it's real either. Just...

Doubt it. Most of the Darra shit can put a magazine or 2 though and then it blows up. The "nicer" stuff can last a dozen mags. There are tons of videos showing these guns blowing up in people's hands

Found a tweet showing a really good Darra made M4 pattern. Guy that posted it says upper and lower receiver were locally made and the internals/barrel are original.

That dust cover looks off to me. The bolt looks like it wouldnt take the dustcover (looks like solid metal), but maybe that's just the picture lighting

Pakistan didn't get that style of M4 from the US, though. My assumption based on the modern foregrip + older parts and mismatched parts is that this is a Darra build using real M4 parts (maybe Chinese norinco clone parts) and probably some handmade stuff if we could get a disassemble. Like...

I'll definitely say it's better than some Darra copies but it still isn't great. The better quality stuff they just can't afford in Darra unless someone gives it to them

Since when does the Indian army use M4 carbines? Look at the gun, man, there aren't even pin holes on the receiver and the dust cover is a piece of sheet metal. It looks nothing like the real thing Edit: since when does the Army in JK use the M4 carbine. The guys using the M4 have much nicer...

It supposed to be where we're looking in that picture. Here's a real American M4 in the highest resolution I can find

Oh and there isn't even a selector switch by the looks of it

It's 100% not real M4. Real ones too expensive for crappy terrorists to afford. Just look at the lower receiver, it's one flat, featureless piece of low quality metal. It doesn't even look like that "dust cover" would close if you tried

They probably can't read them :lol:

No.. but I should have claimed that twitter tag. I don't really like twitter though so no loss to me!

Am I not allowed to ask questions? You don't need to reply if you're not going to contribute anything ya know? Telling me just to "look closer at the pictures" isn't super helpful

What about CRPF or BSF? do they have specific uniforms in J&K? I saw that some guys have camo patka and some have black helmets. Are the black ones only for a certain unit?

I see, they look much more professional now than that old picture. I still haven't gotten anyone to explain who wears what uniforms though! Is there some sort of guide with pictures somewhere?

Yes and I'm asking if they are still active and still dress like that. He said "The pic was circulated widely back in the days" implying it's an old picture.

So the SF are active still in Kashmir? Is that what they still dress like? seems not very protective..

Who are the various forces though? Are the guys with patka helmets CRPF or BSF? Is the woodland camo for the RR or some other group? And how about that guy with the Tavor and head wrap, is he police?

Thanks for being helpful, not...
