Re: Successful user trial of MSMC
Indian Armed forces primarily use Zeiss Z-Point Reflex sight, Mars & other Israeli sights comes with Rifle package that is with TAR-21s import ..
Zeiss Z is chosen coz it has solar charger above it, Less or no maintenance and lesser expensive than similar counterparts ..
1. This is a prototype so there will be more to see in near future ..
2. However it is also possible that the bolt is kept open via mechanism and hence you cannot see the dust cover, Similar is with 1B1 too ..
3. Prototype, Under continual modifications ..
The design came out only from our fighting experience in our system, Our present AR has also translucent magazine ..

=============Too big, too high, and look like it weight a ton. What's the battery life? Probably not long. It does not gives absolute or 1/3 co witness. It so high that the laser is 1/4 inch higher from the front iron sight. What's the deal with the laser? IA is going get rip off if they decide to buy it.
Bite the bullet and invest in Aimpoint optics IMO. Best red dot optic created and almost indestructible. Standard continuous battery life is 7 years on normal setting. Micro Aimpoint 5 years continuous running on normal setting.

================From the picture at least 3 flaws in the design.
1. Magwell cut. The rectangle cut on the side of the magwell to see how many bullets are left. It all honesty it is a very very stupid design. Whoever decided it was a good idea to expose the magwell like that never been in the military before. Dirt and sand will enter through there and cause malfunction to the firearm.
2. There is no dust cover on the ejection port. That means dirt and sand can get inside the firearm.
3. Not enough space on the hand guard to mount accessories. .

There is no reason for the cut in the magwell. If you're in a firefight you won't have time to check how many rounds is in the magazine. The stress of combats make it unimportant. Drop the magazine and insert a new one. It faster than taking your eyes of the enemies to check how many rounds are left. God forbid while counting the enemy rush and gut you alive with his knife.
