Those plastic shell catchers are dangerous. Those plastic bottles reflect light and very easily can act like mirror in daytime ops or even at night if these are exposed to sufficient lighting. Those plastics should be painted with at least flat black (or olive drab) ordinary paint.

those plastic bottles shell catcher is used for training, since soldiers have to give back empty shells for audit purpose. you can see metal shape cylindrical ones, but this added extra weight on rifle which change it center of gravity and balance, it has impact on acquisition of target. Therefore light weight plastic bottles, as they dont add too much weight.

Yeah - but also if any of the training shells go missing, then it will be easy to trace them - right?

CAG (Controller and Auditor General) office is responsible for this. All the government servants in India are scared of them, I MEAN ALL. They make sure no hanky panky.
Is it true that they fear or this is just another eye wash by the GoI. Because no one in the 2G scam feared the CAG.

I was looking for this type of AK for weeks..

I so glad i found the pic and made few modification to it..
Kunal sir i was thinking a adjustable butt plate (something like adjustable cheek piece) would be good idea so that soldier can adjust it according to his requirement, as one size does not fit all, this will also increase moral of the soldier.
