It’s an MKU helmet with this camo cloth covering which makes it look like the old model 1974 helmet.

Jackets in 4 different shades and we expect from Jawans
Old DCP is OK but that woodland camo

Why are they still making jackets with the old Camo patterns? I mean they should have entirely switched to the Indian CCE pattern.

Yea it looks like it is IA. I believe those are the New SIGs without any sights.

5.56 Stanag mag. So definitely not a sig 716. The guy who posted this says this is T91 but it is not easy to identify.

Brazilian Army most likely.

Brazilian Army most likely.

I went through the reddit users profile. Seems to be some tv series.

Definitely not IA

You are right it is not the Indian Army it was my mistake. Camo pattern confused me.

Bull design?

 

[FalconSlayers]

Any Rifle or Carbine that MoD selects for the Indian Army should have M-LOK rails on the upper receiver, light weight and the new modern.

Looks like IWI maybe pitching ace.8inch barrel would be a disaster if selected

Why would be a disaster?

Why would be a disaster?

5.56 coming out of an 8 inch barrel wouldn't have the velocity and velocity is what makes 5.56 tumble and create a mess of a wound

The only viable option is the CAR-816 here, Arad is not officially offered and Galil can’t make it through due to the specs reqd.

Who knows we may see a wildcard entry by Sig SAUER or any other company, genuinely how many of us thought Sig 716 would be chosen? @Gessler any inputs on who could be chosen for the carbine deal?
