Small arms and Light Weapons

[MisraZ]

It is going to be SIG one, with either SIG or General Dynamics version of ammunition.

some of the Squad Automatic Weapons (M249//M27) would be replaced with General Dynamics one.

Textron has very less chance.

My money is on SIG. Its ammo is more conventional i.e. brass-steel hybrid. We all know why XM8 wasn't selected. Uncle SAM doesn't trust polymer cartridges / weapons much.

No he's right
And look at the mag design, all three look very similar

on a sidenote,
meet 6.8mm Sherwood, another 6.xmm round trying to get into NGSW program,

made by amreeki VK systems,

it's said that bullet length is of 45mm and case is based on .284 winchester,
also said that you'd only need barrel change with standard 7.62 NATO rifles as 6.8 Sherwood is compatible with 7.62mm bolts and bolt carriers, no special modifications are required.
(and of course some minor gas settings in gas system)

The only potential downside with Sherwood is the case is slightly tapered that means when stacked together in staggered column (i.e. like when in magazine) it 'tends' to curve slightly like an AK round so perhaps current gen 7.62 NATO mags *might* not work so well with this, being of straight type and so.

I don't understand the last part, can you explain again like with pictures??

Simple, observe the cylindrical shape and 'steep' of the cylindrical section from bottom (primer side) to top (bullet side) on this AK round vs same on AR one,

can you see it that 5.56x45mm is oveall 'straighter' than 7.62x39mm ? so when stacked together side-by-side AR one would mostly remain a straight pile upto some 20-22 rounds-just like a pile of books,
while AK one would start 'curving'-just like a pile of empty folders

say,this

vs

or in our case,this

vs

We can also observe same in magazines of both rounds,

^same thing with Sherwood, it has more 'taper' = more 'steeper' angle of edge than 7.62 NATO so it will 'tend' to curve when stacke together in magazine etc.

This was the main reason US found the 300blk right?

Oh i haven't followed .300 Blackout's developmental approach much but basic skimming through wikipedia article suggest so, mainly their eqivalent to 7.62x39mm//7.92x33mm that can effectively be feeded and fired from AR platform with minimum modification, so yeah.

To all those Who were saying me that Arad and Carmel are not being manufactured in India and was just a buzzz...

Hope arad gets the carbine deal it can be chambered for 300blk but in the indian context we do not use 300blk

Iranian NOHED Anti Material Rile, with the IRGC Army SF (most probably, since most of the indegenous products are heavily used by IRGC).

And @Johny_Baba thanks for those pictured examples, you can even make a chimpanzee understand lol..

Why has suddenly the border become so tense?

So mates, not that I care, but do you think about pakis signing deals for AK-103??

Russians never sell anything state of the art to Pakistan, Russia denied AK-103 to Porks, plus they themselves already have PK-18 and PK-21 which is an AK-47 and an AR-10 just like India.

They might already be making it or its kopies in their preferred configuration.

Besides it's just another AK derivative.

Looks like it was a firing conducted after mud test of the AK-103, the way he was shaking the rifle shows it.

Excellent trigger discipline

That too with an excellent stance and a mag grip, just like how the Russians do it
