Small arms and Light Weapons

It would be shamefull to buy completely foreign thing with ak 203 atleast thye are making it here.

The same OFB will be making 203s too, then we should not cry if the polymer part of the rifle wears off after a few days. We can manufacture everything, choosing where to spend all the energy on priority basis is where the management's role come in

I am no small arms expert but looking at the product quality vs the cost of procurement, rifles should have been directly imported from the US/ any other country which could satisfy the Army's needs, like the Sigs. The total AK203 deal after all the years of drama came to 5000 crore which is like 700 million USD. Instead of risking so much(Quality, Schedule) and taking all this headache, a direct contract to a foreign company would have saved a whole lot of trouble. They could focus their energy for indigenisation of big ticket items like Tanks, Arty, SAMs and stuff.

IDK but the new factory is set up with kalash concern, the designs will be usable atleast unlike some stuff OFB puts out.

OFB and kalash concern. Kalash has almost 50% stake.

Woah bro...now I know that OFB did a world class fuckery in QC while mass producing the INSAS, but polymer surprisingly has stayed normal and held it's own till now. Infact, there was never any issue as such with Polymer(that too front furniture) of of INSAS to begin with...

Notice the Polymer furniture of captured INSAS rifles from Maoists

Overused fromt polymer condition

Again, recovered INSAS from armed insurgents(notice how the receiver got corroded yet the polymer stays)

The polymer furniture of INSAS was sourced from Neelkamal furnitures no?

That's a lot of progress in 30+ years.

Yep...just as that Ruski once said:
"Nyet, riful is fine"

Sorry, man. I just used polymer as an example of what could possibly go wrong with the absence of workmanship that's there in OFB. A manufacturer who does not take pride in what he produces will never make a fine product.

Exactly my point, even after a circus of so many years, public investment in a new factory (that effectively raises the price than a better imported rifle), we still have to stay content with a "workable" design, it's better to take the alternative route, in my opinion. Especially when import bills aren't that big for the item

Imagine the Indian Armed forces Operating a futuristic Gun like this. Looks sick and badass!

How practical is this?

I am not exactly sure about the practicality of such a design though but I have seen some people on YouTube use something like it, a real pulse Rifle.

Why does it feel it will break easily

Lol I know that but still? You never know, we might be able to make something like it in the near future though.

Future is like the NGSW not this

Lmao ok, I never said that Indian army my opt for a futuristic design like this but maybe other militaries like the French, US ,Britain might opt fot such q design.

French have gone with HK416 and design as to be reliable before being futuristic

What feels like it will break easily? The pulse Rifle which I have quoted in my previous Posts? Than well maybe that's just you.

Ok than but still , maybe in the 2040s onwards we might start seeing such designs for Guns being Implemented. We never know what the Future holds my Man.
