Rifle is chambered for 7.62x39mm Russian M43
Receiver, Selector & design to accept AK magazine
Rifle is based on SLR
The beauty aspects of it (sarcasm) aside, did any one of us who had been to Defexpo '14 had the chance to handle the rifle. Is it as heavy and cumbursome as the FAL. Does it have automatic fire ?
As long as it handles and controls better than the AK or the SLR, I feel this is a good 7.62x39 shooter for paramilitary.
Indigenous AK-47 may spit fire again soon - The Times of IndiaIndigenous AK-47 may spit fire again soon
Now, the OFT hopes to offer a fresh lot of guns in May this year. "We shall come up with 15 rifles as well as 50 magazines to test the interchangeability aspect," the officer said.
Ishapore factory develops Indian variant of AK-47 - The Times of IndiaIndia's Ishapore rifle factory has successfully designed an assault rifle based on the Russian AK-47. According to reports, the prototype of this weapon had successfully cleared field trials by the Army, the Indian Air Force and the Sashastra Seema Bal. The Ishapore factory will soon start production of 50,000 units of this rifle in the first phase, The Times of India said in its report. Known of being sturdy and dependable, the AK-47, developed by Kalashnikov, can fire 600 bullets a minute and is so easy to handle that Soviet schoolchildren were taught to assemble it with their eyes closed.
According to Rosoboronexport, black market sale and development of the AK-47 have been so widespread that over 100 million assault rifles have sold worldwide, half of them are counterfeit. Kalashnikov has faced an uphill battle, losing an estimated $400 million to $500 million a year from counterfeit AK-47 makers, the gun-maker said earlier this year. During the cold war, the Soviet Union awarded AK-47 licenses to 18 countries including China, Poland, Romania, Bulgaria, East Germany and Egypt.
India Develops AK-47 Variant
our designers have been attempting to develop an assault rifle, using the AK-47 as a model but without replicating any of its mechanism. Three ordnance factories tried to develop their own variants. While the one developed by the Ishapore factory was declared fit in all other aspects, This is an improved version of any assault rifle and the designers borrowed several facets from the 5.56mm Insas
Ishapore design AR are basically INSAS 1B1`s influenced, Let it be Excalibur, Kalantak Which are made and design by Ishapore branch ..
Where as Kanpur branch design mainly Sub-machine Guns like MSMC and Amogh, Its possible that they re-chambered a Amogh on steroid for 7.62x39mm ..
