INSAS Rifle, LMG & Carbine

[Kunal Biswas]

It is obvious MSMC round is smaller and more powerful than 5.7X28mm, hence higher velocity..

Read the performance of MAR round and OFB report about new round, And yes a tango can be downed with a close single shot from a 5.56mm ( 50ms )..

And the velocity, is it comparable to P90's? And, will a single 5.56x30mm hit at close range be enough to bring down a terrorist in close range just as the 7.62x39mm round is at long range ie ~300m?

 

[Kunal Biswas]

Trichy AR is designed for Paramilitary, Paramilitary use FAL / SLR and Trichy is based on SLR to reduce training on new Rifle..

For Army, A version of 7.62M43 Insas would be logical..

The ideal weapon for the general army and paramilitary is the Trichy AR which hopefully is quickly fixed and modified to have a clean collapsible butt stock, rails for a lot of mounts and reduced rate of fire. The Army shouldn't be looking at 5.56 calibers, time for a change to standard AK or above rounds. New rounds like 6.5 Grendel or 6.8mm SPC are also welcome.

The MSMC is getting a LOT of attention because of the COD BLACK OPS 2 game.It is being praised all over the internet! It is quite a coup by OFB!

msmc is a beast in blops 2

Kalantak Micro Assault Rifle is a gas operated automatic, air cooled, folding butt Rifle. It is a very power full, light weight & compact weapon for CQB & Personnel Defence Weapon Role. The weapon uses the same ammunition (5.56x45mm) as used in Rifle/ LMG, thus reducing the logistic problems in having different kind of ammunitions for different role of weapons. It's design and mechanism is simple and having the capability to accommodate the various modern optical sights like Red Dot Sight, Holographic, MARS etc, available internationally in the market. The weapon is having much lesser recoil and muzzle jump than any of the Assault Rifles, and therefore it is having more hitting probability in auto mode of firing than any other Assault Rifles. Due consideration has been given for Reliability, Ergonomics and Aesthetics in designing of the Weapon. The furniture items will be subjected to continual improvement from human engineering point of view.

Finally Its Upgrade prospects based on Preset design without much change to original Rifle..

Kind of Plug and Play stuff..

=========================
=========================

I will first publish on Utube then make a detail article, Both with editing..

 

[Bhadra]

In all these discussions, 5.56 or 6.68 or 7.62 calibre dominate ...

For a good stopping power and wound ballistics 9 mm have dominated the scene since WWII.

No one discusses 9mm based weapon as a weapon and calibre of choice ??

Say why should not IA opt for 9mm based rifles, carbines and pistols ??

 

[Kunal Biswas]

Ok, I have made the vids, Will be busy editing them soon....

 

[pmaitra]

This is not about INSAS, per se, but barrel overheating was one of the complains with the INSAS supplied to RNA.

Here is an example of barrel overheating:

[arnabmit]

AFAIK 9mm has very little propellant which makes the ball loose kinetic energy fast and gets affected by gravity. Hence 9mm has very limited range.

7.62mm, 5.56mm, 9mm

if they use rifle as machine gun then any rifle can have barrel overheating.

4 Kg for a gun is too heavy to carry it around and fire and what is ur take on it kunal as ur its regular user and how does INSAS later variants like Amog or Excalibur or kalantak compare with other guns of same caliber in the market

.

 

[Kunal Biswas]

Never used other once except INSAS 1B1 & Improved 1B1..

The mass of kalantak is much less than that of Insas. I think @Kunal Biswas dada would be the best person to ask regarding this,,,,

 

[Kunal Biswas]

Kalantak weight has to be less than INSAS as it feature shorter barrel so does other properties such as fold-able butt..

Its one of the cool looking INSAS out there..

[Somreet Bhattacharya]

The Ex-caliber furniture especially the hand-grip can be used in the INSAS...will it make the INSAS heavier???

[Kunal Biswas]

It is better to have Ex-caliber than INSAS 1B1..

If there is a new Ex-Caliber made from the same material from which New 1B1 are produced it would weight less than 3.5kgs..

The Ex-caliber furniture especially the hand-grip can be used in the INSAS...will it make the INSAS heavier???
