you are not the only one..........................................
they should also consider insas in 6.8 or 7.62*39 calibre coz 5.56 lacks power and are having heavy chances of getting deflected due to wind if shot at a distance of 500mts.

Wind, Temp, Altitude and lot matters when bullet fires, This factors effect all bullets..

6.8/6.5 is best with longer barrels, In ASTAN, ISAF sof used 6.8 in M4 carbines but proved not gud coz M4 barrel was short, But worked excellently in M16`s Longer barrel..

SAYA, exactly week ago i saw RPF personals with sparklingly new all-black foldable-butt INSAS (to my annoyance in two separate tone just like AR-15). And except for one ( who was carrying old yellow, fixed butt) rest all were carrying it. So i guess new stocks are all coming in all back. Unfortunately, i could not snap pics because men did not allow. Stupid terrorists have thrown entire country into world of suspicion.

Actually it could be way more if someone take paramilitary like BSF..

You know its really odd, Every Infantry unit in Indian army got Insas.. :)
Only Few FALS are now seen in Arty may be, Even AD, EME, AMC all got Insas..
Even Police all over India use Insas in mass....

Sir, Is there a picture of real INSAS BULLPUP. I know the tavors are being used, but why did the INSAS BULLPUP fail ?

Thier was a ideology back than, that men look nice with traditional rifle on parade..

Tar-21 changed that mindset, Lets see what F-INSAS rifles gives us..

Russian army ends purchase of Kalashnikov rifles



Russian army ends purchase of Kalashnikov rifles


The Kalashnikov is one of the world's most recognisable guns


27 September 2011 | BBC News

The Russian army says it is halting orders of the famous Kalashnikov assault rifle until a newer model is developed by its manufacturer.

Chief of the General Staff Nikolai Makarov told Russian media that the army already had too many of the weapons in its stores.

A new model is expected to be ready by the end of the year.

News of the army's decision is reportedly being kept from the rifle's designer, Mikhail Kalashnikov, now 91.

"We do not want to take it upon ourselves to tell him," an unnamed member of his family told Russia's Izvestia newspaper.

"It might kill him."

'Too many'

The Kalashnikov, instantly recognisable, renowned for its ruggedness and regarded by some as a design classic, is said to be the world's most heavily produced rifle.

In service in Russia since the 1940s, it has been copied by manufacturers across the world.

It has gone through several versions, from the original AK-47 - the AK stands for "Kalashnikov automatic" - to the AKM and latterly, the AK-74.

Gen Makarov said stocks of the rifle exceeded the army's needs "several times over".

A spokesman for the rifle's developer, the Izhmash plant in central Russia, told Izvestia newspaper that a new model would be ready for demonstration by the end of the year.

The plant would seek to increase exports and step up hunting rifle production in the meantime, the representative added.

Kunalji, why dont we use 3SHOT in AK47 ? if the 7.62X39mm has more stopping power, it means lesser number of bullets to kill the enemy right ?
Yes, that would be good..



Trichy rifle is based on ak-47, though we dont their are no real spec available..
