India’s 9mm “Asmi” Machine Pistol likely to go into production – Indian Defence Research Wing
India’s 9mm “Asmi” Machine Pistol likely to go into production

Published November 20, 2022 | By admin
SOURCE: API
Defense Acquisition Council has accorded the Acceptance of Necessity (AoN) for the procurement of 5,000 9×19 Machine Pistol under Buy (Indian) category through the Fast Track Procurement route.
India’s first indigenous 9mm Machine Pistol has been jointly developed by DRDO and Indian Army seems to be the preferred candidate.
“Asmi” means “Pride”, “Self-Respect” & “Hard Work” and has been cleared by the Indian Army after extensive user trials and will cost less than 50000 INR and has huge export potential when it enters full-scale production.
9mm Machine Pistols are usually given as personal weapons of choice of commanders, tank and aircraft crews, drivers and dispatch riders, radio or radar operators, closed quarter battles, counter-insurgency and counter-terrorism operations, etc.

Website is quite reliable so it might be true if so asmi will probably be a record for something homegrown to go into production so fast

Why?

We have a lot of vintage sterling in service with state police force and CAPFs. Why not replace those with ASMI?
Why always look out?
Ofc I meant after taking care of our own needs I just meant gun has potential to get exported too
