I am very sure that all officers must have told their troops to not go hunting for chinese women and being from Sikh LI, they must have contended themselves with chikna chinese. Sikh LI is known for not sparing even goats and cows.

Isn't the scope of insas placed slightly higher compared to the scopes in other weapons?If the scope fitted is not in lline with the front or sights then the shooter has to place his head in a higher position which causes discomfort during prolonged fighting unless there is a cheek rest is issued.

Pls ask @Ray sir and you will know. My Biz partner is a retd decorated officer of IA who is from 38th course NDA and as Arty officer fought in Hajipir Pass in 1971. he is now a helo pilot as lovingly called Bhism by all helo pilots of India. We both are from SS Chittorgarh or Chittsberg to be precise. He told me a very surprising story about his 75 pounder guns and donkies who carried them. A soldier is responsible for each donkey of the regiment and the soldiers who have a she donkey or donkeny is more responsible and alert.
In the night, Donkey of another soldier or the soldier himself wud do it to this Donkeny and leave a 25 paisa coin in its ears for the soldier who was responsible for her stataing that his donkeny has been done in. When I heard it, I went beserk laughing as I had never heard something so funny.
@Ray sir, open to you now for the truth.

Look at some of the INSASs here. They have an old fashion fold-able stock.

Yeah it seems they've lifted straight off the AK:

I think that's a fair assumption that the ones wearing the elbow and knee protection, with reflex sights and carrying out CQB ops are Ghataks.

End of the line for the Insas rifle

KOLKATA: After nearly two decades in service, the Insas rifle — the mainstay of Indian security forces — is on its way out.

Launched in 1994 by Rifle Factory, Ishapore (RFI), the weapon underwent further development over the years and faced its acid test during the Kargil conflict five years later. Now, RFI is in the process of winding up the production line and concentrating on development of a multi-caliber weapon designed by the Armament Research and Development Establishment ( ARDE) in Pune.

"The Insas rifle proved its worth over the last 20 years. It will continue to serve for some more time till the multi-barrel rifle goes into production. We still recall the day when RFI supplied the first batch of 4,000 rifles to the Army in March, 1994. There were initial hiccups but the glitches were gradually ironed out. There was extreme pressure during the Kargil Conflict as damaged and jammed weapons returned to the factory and fresh lots had to be sent out. Workers at Ishapore worked day and night to repair and clean the guns and make them battle-ready," an official said.

After meeting the country's war reserves, RFI started meeting the demands of central paramilitary forces. Finally, state police forces also replaced their 7.62 mm self loading rifles with the lighter 5.56 mm Insas.

"At that time, it was the only answer to the AK-47 assault rifles used by terrorists and enemy soldiers. The 7.62 mm SLRs — also manufactured at Ishapore — were far too heavy and un-maneuverable for the infantry soldier to react fast enough. The concept of battle also changed. It was no longer thought necessary to kill an enemy soldier with a heavy-caliber 7.62 mm slug. Strategists suggested that it would be better to injure the enemy with a lighter 5.56 mm one and leave him. This would burden his comrades as they wouldn't be able to leave him lying behind in that condition. Today, a more advanced weapon in required," the official added.

A multi-caliber assault rifle (MCAR) can be used to fire different rounds, depending on the range a soldier wants to achieve and the damage he wishes to cause. In November, 2011, the Army floated a tender for the supply of MCARs. Apart from supply, the deal envisaged manufacture of the weapons in India under licence. Several international arms manufacturers participated in the tender.

"This is a major challenge for us. The Army wants over 65,000 MCARs in the first lot and 100,000 more to be manufactured under licence in India. We will have to come up with a rifle that can clear user trials. If this doesn't happen, the Army will have to depend on supplies from abroad. Even if one were to assume that the deal is clean, it would be a big blow for a factory like ours. We can't survive without bulk orders from the defence forces. We are now working very hard to develop an indigenous MCAR as per the ARDE's design," another official said
