Call me a old fashioned , but i find fn fal the most beautiful rifle ever made .
Especially in all bkack furniture .
But if its not compitable with requirements of indian army today , then no need to use them.

Agreed!! I have always admired FN Fal, people who love guns get addicted to this rifle!!
I think Fal, is more suitable for CAPFs, Forest Guards, railway police since it fits their requirements!!

Not CAPFs and Forest guards. They might have to trek or walk long distances. Trekking is really hard with just a backpack. Heavy weight is a big no-no. State, beat cops can use it..

Definitely suitable for forest guards since Fal has the best range in hitting the target and its also can be used as designed marksman by the guards!! Plus not to mention our guards have no other option since there is no funding, and Fal is the only option.

While we're still sticking to a basic AK with rails etc,Russians seems to be trying out something new (?) with their upcoming AK prototypes

Meet AK-521


This time with SG550 series inspired (i believe) two-section receiver that hinges at front and machined top receiver with picatiny rails on top, a spring loaded dust cover on its charging handle slot that automatically opens and covers the slot when rifle is cycling.Lower receiver seems typical AK74 style stamped sheet metal one with modifications to make it work with this new upper etc.
Also the fire selector is shortened from typical AK style selector as no longer it doubles as dust cover for charging handle slot when on safe.

Haha, everyone is eager for that big announcement by IA, buddy!! Let's hope that the first 93,000 deal goes through for frontline troops!
Its a clusterfuck in our inventory, we end up buying too much variety in suppliers as well as ammunition, I mean why don’t buy a 5.56x45mm NATO Kalashnikov like Bulgarian AR-M1 if not AK-19 to reduce logistics issues.
