New Assault Rifles for Indian Army

[Tronic]

Accidentally voted for the Tavor. I don't think it's a good choice for a primary infantry rifle in a conventional subcontinental scenario. It's a good rifle for urban or CQB warfare, but for the deserts or the plains, I'd go with a longer barrel. Than again, I've never fired a bullpup so I'm not too sure if the shorter barrel on the Tavor affects the accuracy greatly with increasing distance.

The Tavor is an excellent rifle for India. It's been built with desert reliability in mind--sand and grit can coat the gun and it will still fire. As for bullpup vs conventional configuration, the main disadvantage for a bullpup is that you can't switch hands with it very easily. A soldier could not shoot the Tavor or QBZ 95 from his left shoulder if he was left-handed, injured in the right arm, or peeking around the left corner of a building, since the shell ejector port would sent hot brass casings right into his cheek or his eye. That isn't an issue with conventionally oriented rifles.

Some bullpup weapons, however, have addressed that issue by pushing the ejected shells straight down (the P90) or pushing them down and forwards (the F2000). The F2000, in particular, would be another excellent choice for India.

You're probably right. I just felt that the longer barrels provide for a more stable posture while shooting, especially in the standing position. I have shot the IA issue INSAS and the longer barrel helps in properly posturing my arms resting against my body while gripping the barrel to aim. Imagining shooting a bullpup seems it would require you to squeeze in into the rifle for a stable posture, but watching some youtube videos, the posture seems quite relaxed. I just need to find someone who'll let me fire the Tavor.

TAR-21 is good every where, Its barrel is long enough and effective to 400ms..

TAR-21 used by Paras can engage to 600-700ms, X95 on other hand can hit to 400ms straight then elevated..

Very balanced and stable rifle..

i was saying that arx 160 should win because it is a part of a future upgradation program like ours(futura soldato) so it should suit us but talking about tar 21.I believe that it has a advantage over others that a conversion for 5.45x45 minsas is alreay available plus it is alreay in service solves the logistic problem.the arx160 has a conventional design so good for training.but for cqb i would say tar21 is best.both look a lot sexy

^^ This is not a Regular issue Mag with Colt MGI / AR-15 variant Rifles or ARX-160, TAR-21, But can be used on these following Rifles, If we are looking at translucent mags, We might look into this..

Regarding AK Mag >>

Arsanal the Bulgarian company produce transperent 40-30-20 rnd magazine, If one wish to use transperent Mag for 7.62x39mm on Colt MGI, Galil ACE, ARX-160 and may be TAR-21/X95, Then this can come handly..
