Dear Kunal,
I am an avid reader of your posts, and was one of the main reasons of joining DFI.
Please let me know the following:
i) Can INSAS rifle MK-II version be made by OFB with certain improvements like better iron sights, pictanny rails, better handles and grips, improvements for recoil, over heating, that oil spray problem, also improvement in the looks, with use of Industrial Design principles, ergonomics, etc. Maybe bench marking with HK 36, M4, LA-80 , etc. This will be a private development not supported by army.
ii) Offer the same to Army, paramilitaries, BSF, etc. If IA still refuses, atleast paramilitary troops will upgrade to it. Potential exists, I think, for about 200000 pieces.
iii) 7.62 mm Version of INSAS in 3 versions -
a) Semi/Full Auto for infantry engaged in Counter Insurgency
b) LMG for Squad level actions
c) Designated Marksman , Semi automatic, long range scopes, 800 m effective, supplements SVD Sniper.
Is it possible? Will it work?
Aim is to keep weapon production in India, design the next generation ourselves, and do away with imports in such large numbers that all are talking about.
Small imports for Special Forces is acceptable.
