Indian Small Arms and Weapons

[IWIarad11]

What were these chaps firing before they were handed a SIG-716i? Most probably an INSAS. Now let's talk about INSAS

There are numerous problems in an INSAS, from suboptimal design to pathetic manufacturing but...even on its worst day, an INSAS shoots like a laser.
It's a heavy 4kg rifle that fires a wimpy 5.56x45mm round, resulting in a recoil energy of just around 4.5 joules. Now compare that to what most Americans shoot, a M4; same round but from a 3.4kg gun resulting in a recoil energy of almost 8 joules.

For SIG-716i this recoil energy should be somewhere around 14 joules.
I guess now even you can tell who would be more familiar with the increased recoil; our grunts or theirs.

Furthermore, our shooting techniques are prehistoric. Shooting techniques play a key role in how effectively you can "tame" the recoil of a gun. This is reason why trained 3-gun shooters in USA can handle the recoil so gracefully despite being literal kids.

Thanks for the detailed explaination. Makes sense - am just happy that we can keep using our local ammo. All the folks talking about how barrel would burst and all was bothering.

I smell Chandigarh lobby


Who said gernails and GoI want to develop a MiC ? All they want is kickbacks and a plush seaside villa ..

You forgot to mention deeply entrenched mod bureaucracy which can remove or create technicalities in a tender when they want

Realistically assume i was an Indian company but iam seeing army supports foreign companies more and R&D goes in waste then why would i waste my money on R&D and rather than & make profit

Realistically assume i were an Indian company but you are seeing army supports foreign companies more and R&D goes in waste I would not waste my money on R&D and make profit

After seeing apache, stryker , dsrishti everyone will go for screwdriver giri
But i atleast exept a good copy of high end optics from indian company consider even if army doesnt favor you it is highly likely that you will still get order good numbers from some local purchase by army , crpf ,Marcos and garud

Iam just happy they are using sights on it tbh.
Also Army is not planning for a war at all their thinking goes for CI-CT only the concept of DMR is alien to them so be happy in what you get
These sights are also purchased from unit budgets CO’s who care about modernisation are trying their best to equip troops with good equipment in the peanut budget they get.
