Vz58 are more accurate as well as lighter compare to AK-47, Vz58 is same as AK-47 but have improved gas regulating system which makes the rifle lighter..

Is this carbine an upgradation of good old ak74u?

Indian Army never use AK74U, we use 9mm carbine, msmc is a good replacement..

The only bolt action IA use is SP-66.

I dont think any production is going on in India..its true that there was some talks... and specops may have procured some of it.but never found any one of it in their hands except some ak101 with marcos

MARCOS use AK-103 and some IA SF were using AK-101 before the arrival of TAR-21..

did india still produces ak7 ?although i heard abt it never found it any where...in some pics actually bulgarian rifles are wrongly shown as ak7

Yes, INDIA still produce AK7 but only handed to CRPF and WB police..

MARCOS with a New Toys: AK-103..

 

[ALBY]

Thank you mate for the information you provided.

 

[Kunal Biswas]

Can anyone make out the rifles?

 

[ALBY]

The rifles shown are galil of imi...the machine gun is fnmag or bren...weapons are not of indian standard issue..weapon without magazines meant they may be in military exercise....

Scopes are almost all the time attached to the rifles. I did not complain about night vision.

 

[sayareakd]

manc that is not the case now a days rail is used for rifle so that attachments can be made by the way iron sight is the best ask kunal about this (as if the equipment is damage the soldier has to pay from his pocket) so they prefer iron sight.

 

[plugwater]

Saya, The gun he holds does not look like having an option to attach any scopes.

This is the first time i am hearing about soldier have to pay for the damages in rifles.

No they don't require it!! As there is no need for scope in close quarter combat!

Above all AK series beyond 150 meters is not so accurate and a scope is useless, moreover AK series is more of a machine gun than a rifle in reality.

AK modifications..

Actually I was thinking the same, Why not MARCOS give a tactical look on their AKs..
After MARCOS are SFs, they can use unlike IA have limitations..
Also they should use Helmets..

Yes, AK is more like a machine gun hardly accurate beyond 100m, But we are asking abt close quarter scopes ( Reflex ), Its Nice and makes rifle a bit more accurate, also when u need to shoot with iron sights u just need to take off the reflex and start hitting tango :happy_2:

Reflex on AK-47..

Btw, I wish MARCOS look like this ( With BLACK and Helmet too, Also same goes for NSG):

Picatinny Rail

Ok, whether there is need for scope or not, it is a very individual choice. When I shoot the AK-47 or AR-15, I like it without the scope and I get decent results at 75 feet (70% within 1" of the bull's eye). I have witnessed many people who actually do hit the bull's eye 70% of the time without the scope.

There are kits available that have the Picatinny Rail fitting for most rifles. Even an AK can be fitted with one. Hence, it is not a major modification.

For example, the images below show that one that can be easily fitted on an AK:

Fore-grip mounted:

Side mounted:

Post fitting, a typical AK family of rifles would look like this (this one is a WASR AK-47):

I believe INSAS does have this as well. Maybe someone can verify?

Insas Rail is small and its situated in middle, IA use it to mount thermal and Russian PSO-1 Sights and INDIAN OFB made sights..

Reflex..

Kunal Sir,

Is it possible to use the Israeli or DRDO made red-dot used with this AR? I havent witnessed any INSAS with red-dot.
