Its a dangerous weapon if not taken care, Their are plenty of problems at field areas and not at range..

Once a solider got shot with it while he was sleeping during his duty, He survived and was back in service..
I guess it is a common problem for all open bolt systems.

Indian Made Cornershot
Gun is under final field trials and will enter in service in 6 months.

Interesting that the AAR/MCIWS and the new Cornershot (shown here with Browning HP) have the same pistol grip.

Also, the handguard/forward grip on the cornershot looks like it was developed for the MSMC/JVPC (thought it's NOT the same one). I'm not gonna hate on it as long as it works but...this cornershot looks shoddy at best.

There can be two things :

1. The prototype is not a brand new but year old or even more, It went through various trails before displaying in that stall ..

2. This is not a real weapon but dummy for display purposes ..

Is the final product going to have an aluminum handle that is hand painted or would it be seamless looking with a coating, like the body?

I assumed from the beginning it's been through trials, I've seen it relatively brand new, doesnt show the same wear and tear.



Could care less how it looks, looks fine to me. If it went through trials and they want it more durable, so be it, if it passed the mark, so be it.

•GHAATAK RIFLE UPDATE

We were in the attendance of the recently held International Police and Homeland Security Expo 2017, New Delhi. There, we interacted with the Ordnance Factory Board's representatives, and found that

1) The army has rejected the Ghaatak Rifle because it chambers 7.62×39 mm bullets whereas according to Army's new requirements, they're looking for rifles which can fire 7.62×51 mm bullets.

2) To meet the demands of the army, they have developed a new rifle but haven't named it yet (we will be posting the pictures of that rifle too) which is indeed a direct derivative of AK 103 with slight modifications.

3) The OFB is now looking for the potential buyers as some state police forces and central armed police forces have shown interest in Ghaatak.

4) A total of 400 Rifles have been issued.

@Vinod DX9 , Post pictures of new GPMG ..

==========

Its the other way around, DRDO_India has finally decided to chamber 9mm rounds in JVPC, rather than 5.56mm version which they initially fielded

Niiiiiiiiiiicccceeeeee :shoot::shoot::shoot:
They need to shave off at least 1kg of weight,PKP and negev NG-7 are around 8kg.Effective range need to be increased to 1000m with scope.I feel the photo should have been taken from side.

PKP can sustain continuous 600 rounds of fire with same barrel ,due to its heavy barrel and forced air cooling.Still it's lighter than this.

So..it's going to 5.56 mm or 9mm?
