For Law enforcement i.e police, 5.56 is a no brainer. But for COIN, paramil, Infantry and SF, there is something about the AK platform that has a higher perceived reliability, durability factor which IA and Indian forces at large will not abandon easily. Do I get this right @AVINASH4061?

Also in a direct action covert op behind enemy lines would your prefer a well kitted out M-4 or well kitted AK version (I don't know if you've had experience with kitted out AKs, I assume you do) or Tavor?
I didn’t say discard the AKs, but atleast make something standard, AKs have huge 16.3” barrels and have big receivers.

Who’s gonna win it is different thing, but when will the fuckin deal be signed? Any timeline? Will the tests for carbines be conducted again and then orders?

Just end this L1 musings, if the weapon is good then why L1, we aren't that dirt poor, Caracal already cleared trials, it was a negotiation failure for the price, if it was for me I'd order the car 816 and put a cork on this circus

My wet dream is to see Bharat lead the way everywhere, a super power in it's true sense, before I kick the bucket

SF modernization is Sub-wetdream

L1 system has a lot of problem.during the SCAR trails for socom the final entries were the scar and colt type c both underwent tests and there wasn't a massive difference in performance so they sent both rifles to selected units and from real world experience FN scar was selected instead of going for the cheapest shit.but ultimately scar ended not so well

Will the carbines undergo tests again for this new contract?

It’s all our dream but I don’t think this will be possible in our life time since Babus and Red Tape are still the majority in the government and armed forces.
