Let me start with a good news oi

Army is getting 2460 Eo tech holographic and 918 magnifier soon

 

[spadex]

Some indian company (Star Aerospace Private Limited) selling it at a High cost under the name of made in india but that's how most procurement goes as far as army is concerned

Ofcourse. I bet its twice the market price. Well all things aside atleast this is a welcome step ahead.. rest 203s could go ahead with the BEL(?)/ARDE(?) sight.

So essentially we have no other Indian option if the leadership wanted to standardise a HWS on the remaining rifles?

Ah never mind, I thought 2460 and 918 were part of the model name or something @spadex @VictorDelta4

That thread explains the models and usage really well if you go through it.

That's pistol sight, their PR100A could be better option

The thing is both PLR rifles as well as Jindal Taurus rifles could be seen being offered with RRP PR100 Red dot.

Man I love how systematic and well managed MARCOS chaps are everything is standardised.

Also is there any reason why our infantry troops don’t use a sidearm?like the US standardised SIG m17&m18

Did we ever have it earlier? @Arad Operator @KAB7777

Officers usually have OFB Pistol 9mm1a (Hi-Power) if they choose to carry them. Regular Grunts are rarely issued the guns and usually sit in the Armoury from what I’ve seen and heard. AFAIK there exists no SOP for this.

Afaik sidearms are not standardly issued to regulars, also they are not really well trained with them , bayonets and blades are their sidearms .
Officers and some armor and supplies men are do issued with OFB 9mm ( which most absolutely despise due to its unreliability and low firepower ) . From what I have heard personally , supplies men used to prefer carry rifles instead of them .

Telescopic on a LMG&AK203 and Holos on SIG 716i(I can see one sig 716 with telescopic and ak 203 with holo those are probably the only correct ones in this picture)
Also on a single table we have both 7.62x51mm & 7.62x39mm weapons you will feel this when you are carrying two different types of heavier rounds for separate weapons.
Army decided to do emergency procurement while knowing they have chosen a 7.62x39mm rifle to be the standard in Indian Army and ended up buying a 7.62x51mm rifle which again is a beautiful sight from logistics POV.
