In that case you have noted my respones to the same questions you are asking now ..
Though, I wont mind to repeat the same answers ..
1. INSAS 1B1 has good accuracy and precision so does LMG ..
2. INSAS 1B1 reliability is good in muddy, Cold, Desert environment without or with proper maintenance for various durations, It takes 15-20mins to clean and oil INSAS 1B1 in field conditions ..
3. INSAS 1B,1B1 had issues with build quality, These issues been rectified in new Improved INSAS 1B1 ( Issued since 2009 ) ..
More queries are most welcome ..
Kunal, I love this thread and you responses. What I would like is to hear from your experience and those of your associates with the INSAS rifle and LMG - accuracy, reliability, build quality and performance in difficult environments.
I know you've dealt with this repeatedly but the nonsense of the naysayers has gone on long enough and you're the man to deliver the knockout blow
=================================
Carrying rifle with empty magazine or without magazine is a friendly gesture by trooper to Civilian population ..
@Kunal Biswas: sir,I a video on UN peace keeping mission in Sudan,our men in Patrol were carrying INSAS without Mags. Why so?
