INSAS Rifle, LMG and Carbine

Slide 7 in the link has wrong caption. ( not Kalantak but Ex-calibur)
you can compare slide 5,6 and 8,9 to note the difference.

but, I too can be wrong.

This lightweight packs a punch

Lightweight, easy to carry and handle, and boasting the smallest cartridge in the world in the 5.56 calibre, the Amogh 5.56 mm carbine is especially soldier-friendly.

Indigenously developed by the Indian Ordnance Factory Board, Amogh is now on the market shelf and being showcased to prospective customers at the 9th biennial Aero India 2013 at Air Force Station, Yelahanka here.

While traditionally the length of the cartridge is 45 mm, this one is 30 mm long.

While the impact and lethality of this carbine that uses the smallest cartridge remains the same as that of the traditional carbine, soldiers can carry more ammunition as the cartridges weigh less, and the carbine weighs less than 3 kg.

"A few thousand of these rifles have been taken by units in the paramilitary forces and the Indian Navy. But now, we are looking for demand from abroad for this latest carbine," Deepak Gupta of the OFB told The Hindu . He said OFB was the first in the world to develop a 30 mm cartridge in the 5.56 calibre. "Even NATO forces use the 45 mm cartridge."

some time i feel that LMG should have belt feed or drum magazine.

 

[Kunal Biswas]

INSAS LMG has very high rate of fire and quite accurate in full auto compare to Bren..

Indeed a drum magazine in western style would offer gr8 boost in fire power..

some time i feel that LMG should have belt feed or drum magazine.

@Kunal Biswas sir - do we know what happened of the Trichy Assault Rifle. I have asked the same question in another thread. It seems like besides some grainy photos, there is no information on the rifle and whose gonna use it.

 

[Kunal Biswas]

As i said before, It will be in hands of Paramilitary force and Armed Police ..

Read this thread ..

Is here any updates on the MSMC Sub machine gun?

And arent INSAS being replaced? I heard even Ak-47 is better than INSAS?

A little off-topic, but interesting:

New 5.56x30mm Cartridge from India « Daily Bulletin

If the Indian 5.56x30mm cartridge is produced in large quantities, perhaps we could see budget-priced 5.56x30mm brass exported for sale in the American market. That would be a boon for high-volume varminters. Also, if the Indian 5.56x30mm is standardized internationally, perhaps one of the European brass manufacturers (Lapua, Norma, RUAG, Wolf?) would consider producing it as an alternative to the 221 Fireball. We can only wish that a 20-cal or 17-cal version of the Indian 5.56x30mm cartridge might be produced some day as inexpensive factory ammo. Many varminters are now looking at centerfire options to the 17 HMR cartridge, as 17 HMR ammo prices continue to climb. A 50-round box of 17 HMR can now cost $14.00 or more.

Amogh together with the MSMC should be the ideal 5.56 mm weapons for policing and law enforcement. The Amogh perhaps would fare better it if had a collapsible stock instead of a folding one. Both look sexy and though Amogh was rjected by Army, there is no reason why Policiing units cannot use it for domestic security.
