I got to hear this alot, Does because its western and foreign means better ??, I am not sure all those shining looking rifle have what use in battle ..
All Western Rifles competing to replace 1B1 failed in trails in India during joint trails 2012 and 2014 .
============================
These are made for Armed forces to withstand harsh conditions without service for long during and expected to work even then, In due time the colour and the shine get dull but not rusty, Its not crude but used under stress in various terrain of India..
Ah...! man gun looks so crude that under barrel grenade launcher is even crude............
Why can't any private company copy western rifles and make it in india........
