from a cynical point of view, other than getting fanboys excited, in a country with very low gun ownership where "what a beaut" is where most gun related compliments end, this demonstrates very limited info about capabilities of the gun. by now the company should have had the confidence to show on record their product being put thru it's paces for grouping drop etc. but considering they don't have to, because of absence of civilian market, and Indian public are not their customers, can't blame the company either.

assuming there are 500 casings on floor and if it is 50 ₹ per cartridge, that's 25000 worth of ammo being shot, out of budget for 99% of civilians.

Ok so the above pic is sigs 716i upgrade from fab defence. Army is looking for upgrades already. Wish someone other than fab can grab the deal.

Any nibba here knows the quantity for the upgrades.
Regarding that fab defence mod , wouldn't putting a magnification scope like acogs be better than putting a red dot sight + magnifier combo . Sounds strange to put the combo on a battle rifle

Requirement is only for bipods,multi mode foregrips rest will probably be Bel holos as it has always been or with bipods Paras might use bigger magnifier scopes for dmr build like nsgs.

To be honest their mods are trash in comparison to zenitco and still cost a lot .
Heck even SSSD has better mods even though they are new.
I know I have heard same things about fab kits some say they are flimsy and breaks. But army loves them I think we all know why.

Wouldn't it be significantly cheaper if ammo is made in India!

Bulk FMJ training ammo costs anywhere between $0.3-0.5/round while hollowpoints are twice that in the US. It's relatively much cheaper if you just buy used casings from the range and spend some time to make your own brass

For them it should be alot more cheaper since they produce there own ammo and export too.
