Then what is .50 HMG ? That is with Paki Army ?
0.50 cal or 12.7mm are Heavy Machine Guns used on Armoured vehicles or in companies useful against lightly armoured vehicles,Troops etc.
Pakistanis must have some Chinese HMG and M2 Browning.
However it is surprising that Indian army does not consider inducting these weapons at company levels inspite OFB license manufacturing of the NSV (utes) HMG.
Note that such HMG have proven there effectiveness for example during the soviet-afghan war the battle for Hill 3234 it was the NSV (utes) machine gunner that kept the enemy at bay during initial attack.
Indian defence acquisition sometimes leaves me perplex we ponder over acquisition of flashy multi caliber rifles but cannot afford to give decent weapons.
A simple Assault rifle AK-100 series, a decent SAW weapon like Pecheneg or M-249 and a HMG like Kord will definitely augment infantry firepower,but no here we go for white elephants.
