A typical infantry unit consist of approximately 123 men with 6 LMGs,2 for each platoon and a carl gustav and a druganov for each for all the plaoons plus 2inch mortars.There will be also multiple grenade launchers .As indian infantry is mainly fighting extremists in rugged terrain, HMGs will not be practical coz they are heavy to carry.In conventional battlefields HMGs are an option which our army is yet to utilise.instead of HMGs we are making use of FNMAGs in tripood.

but i read in the article that indian army had issued rfi for 12.7caliber machine gun.i think israeli and western armies already use 12.7 cal as supressive fire weapon even at platoon level.not sure about russian and pla.the american do use 12.7mm on vehicles in iraq and afghanistan so we should use them too.also i have a related question-the ofb website says that it produces a 12.7mm gun for anti-aircraft role in tanks.why can't that gun be used as infantry weapon and mass produced for our army.

Because we dont have any concept, the concept and ideology planted by Brits, Ironical today brits use all those things which they though useless in post ww2..

Today you see PKM in RR coz its needed, But wonder why IA regulars still use mag fitted LMGs ?

Coz as per concept its lighter when we fire on move or charging enemy, But the concept was not good during Kargil where we felt need for a suppressive fire we need a Belt feed LMG, Once the war was over every thing was forgotten, Every time i see PKM in RR hands i feel happy..

Regarding HMG, Its good for Vehicle mounted and over heights, Its powerful can breach anything within 500m and can kill a human at 1500m, While IA regulars need a MG which can have a MAG also Belt feeding..

the carl gustav is very old.i think it should be repalced by at-4cs or rpg-29 both of which can be mass produced.

Nothing is old, AT-4 or RPG-29 cannot do the task Carl Gustaf can do, I.e:





1. It can fire smoke
2. It can fire Illumination rounds
3. It can fire Heat Rounds for Anti-tank
4. It can fire HE frag in CT operations

Where Any-other Man Portable RL cannot preform such task with gr8 accuracy as Carl Gustaf 84MM..


Btw, We use Shippon Light Rocket Launcher in SF same as AT-4 and instead of RPG-29 we will be using Javellin ATGM...

guys which one should india induct-browning 50 cal or dushka?
Dushka is no longer manufactured in Russia, RFI is issued..

Contenders are from Singapore, US, Russia and others..

Lets see Sir, We are getting ecotech also mars in RR & SF units, The guy is a role model for all..
that is true sir, but simple question, why the hell soldier pay from his own pocket to get decent optics in first place, it has to be duty of GOI to provide its soldier the best, after all soldier puts his life for his country.

Few simple modifications to INSAS and AK can do world of good for our soldiers.
