Kunal Da, is your unit using AKM derivatives like M5F41 + FAB Defence Kits or Romanian MDs ?

 

[Kunal Biswas]

No, We had silenced 9mm carbines and INSAS 1B1 ( improved ) issued in early 2013.

Unlike HAL or ADA advancing SPORT or LCH out of their own initiatives, on own funds, OFB was (still is) an old school PSU that would do something only on being asked for...
Why did the Army demand basic upgrades like optics & p-rails, or adjustable buttstocks, or ergonomic grips in rifles being produced as recently as 2013??!!!!

No, We had silenced 9mm carbines and INSAS 1B1 ( improved ) issued in early 2013.

So we are still issuing blowback non polymer 9mm submachine guns to our Officers for raids in 2019???

We seriously need either the JVPC or the CAR 816 at the Officer/Radioman level.

That might actually result in some biased R&D, influenced by the personal preferences of said military officer.

Working alongside multiple attaches and liaisons from multiple forces, with everyone sending their own suggestions & demands, while the final product gets tested by multiple forces... that's the way to go.

Too many cooks spoil the broth. You're describing exactly what happened with INSAS and LCA programmes...look at what happened there. We have a deep rooted problem with both corruption and ego driven turf wars in our system.

Rather than allowing a free for all where every tom, dick and harry adds their opinion we need more streamlining and definitely less interference from the forces who have made it a habit both to demand unreasonable performance standards and constantly changing those standards whenever a product is close to completion

Trichy Assault Rifle (7.62x39 mm) ; Pretty decent clone of an AK 203, much better than the Ghatak Rifle!
