Does any way Insas is available in US ?
IA surplussed RFI SMLEs, and they ended up in the US.
IA also surplussed small number of RFI FN-FALs, and they are also in the US.
Soon IA will surplus INSAS, and they will, for sure, end up in the US, of course, with full-auto disabled.

The example of standard assault rifle from the new modular firearm system developed at the Fabryka Broni Radom you can see above, is derivative of the MSBS-5,56 programme (2007-2011), but it is not the MSBS-5,56. The weapon itself is completly different externally and internally from the technology demonstrators of the MSBS-5,56 programme




The new firearms system is developed as a part of the Polish individual battlesystem Tytan i.e. Polish future soldier. The new assault rifle with 40mm grenade launcher is planned to be the Tytan soldier standard weapon. The name of the system will be picked up by the Polish Armed Forces when the rifle would be officially adopted (around 2014-2015).



The new rifle "business end". Sorry not being so "tacticool" geardos like the other guys at the photos

is it jst me or does the weapon looks like Beratta ARX 160
It is only You, our assault rifle is completely unique design, because it use modular common components and with proper tools and parts, can be converted from classic configuration in to bullpup configuration, there is no other assault rifle currently avaiable with such capabilities, there are also some other new design solutions our designers developed, but these still seems to not be avaiable for public knowledge.

He shoots at a 100 yard target with a benchrest, gets a 2 - 3" group with those two weapons, and says he can therefore hit a man-size target at 350 yards.

He should rather run 100 yards with either weapon and then engage a man-size silhouette at 350 yards. :)

It is an eternal dispute what automatic rifle better АК- 74 ии М16(М4). We will say so, on distance 100 -150 yards both AR identical. Anymore distance - more precisely the American rifle. But forget a main factor yet. Automat of АК- 47, created in conception of mass army ( where an offensive or defensive is conducted in composition a regiment, brigade, division). Such constituent, as "density of fire", is here important. In the USSR also there was conception of "separate soldier" previous to WW2, but she itself did not justify. Certainly in the modern military conflicts of АК- 47(74) loses in firing of М4, but the experienced soldier eliminates this difference. That is why in the distance 400 meters (440 yards) - these rifles as a matter of principle are similar. At disassembly АК better (М16 it is very heavy to take apart, are many shallow separate details).

To add to that, the USSR had a predominantly conscripted military force, and the rifle should be easy to train with and to maintain, even for a layman.

300yrds is for rest/bench or prone. i doubt he mean running. also the guy has few decades experience in firearms, and has experience in long range shooting. ;)

ARX 160 is not in the same class as MSBS-5,56, neither it is modular in the same sense as MSBS-5,56, ability to change calliber is nothing special, currently designers at FB "Archer" are focusing on 5,56mm version, later 7,62mm version will be developed and then other optional callibers.

But the main feature is that in one common design we have two rifle designs, classic and bullpup, which makes MSBS-5,56 more attractive to any customer, You can choose one of these, or both but without any logistics nightmare because they use common components.

Let's take for example India, where there are different needs from different branches of the armed forces, that use different assault rifles that use different logistic support. Look how much money is spent on these, how many logistic problems it makes.

And now replace all these rifles with MSBS-5,56, You can have not only weapons in different callibers per needs of different branches of armed forces, but even in two different configurations, classic for most infantry forces, and shorter more compact bullpup for special forces, vehicle crews, rear units.

Only because all the sudden You beloved toy is ARX 160, this does not mean it is better than other assault rifles, neither it makes it little jimmy special. ;)
