Modernisation of Indian Army Infantry

[Ayan Barat]

How are there so many AR 15 style rifles floating around in the North East?

Majority from US civilian market through the infamous Golden Triangle.

Apart from this you also have things like old Vietnam era spoils of M-16 with modern high quality airsoft accessories and local Khyber Pakhtunkhwa type manufacturings.

PS. That's an Amogh Carbine

Looks like one of the weapons raided from the Indian Reserve Battalion armory.

Whatever @Ayan Barat said+easy availability of Western firearms and gear in Thailand are smuggled into the North East through Myanmar.

If a babu ever holds a Staccato, their hand will literally rot away. I've never seen a professional army so happy to induct a 100 year old pistol with zero changes.

It ain't LPVO, what you sometimes see on SIG-716i is just a simple fixed magnification 4x scope.

It's more like a VLPFO.

Wanna see something funny (depression to be honest)?
Let's compare this, boldly written 2021 scope to an old 60s Soviet PSO-1 scope.
Magnification: 4x
Field of view: 6°
Transmission: -
Eye clearance: 68mm
Exit pupil: 6mm
Weight: 497g

What OPTEL offers as a dedicated "sniper" scope is this 5-15x one

If you wish then I can also compare this to a contemporary sniper scope like a Schmidt & Bender 10-60x-56mm.

Lol, lmao even at your Staccato and Alien.

Just ask them whether it's possible to put a red dot sight and compensator on a pistol and see how they start laughing at you.
They might even declare you a lunatic who plays too much video games.

Damm its embarrassing we don't have any worth mounting on sig716
No don't bother comparing optel one with other i kind of doesn't exept much good results for optel

I'm surprised this is in production and is getting orders considering the love of import.
IIRC this was designed by some IA officer, what's stopping them actually designing stuff like this and collaborating with DRDO( or whichever for manufacturing PSU is there ) for production ?

Yes. This was designed by Lieutenant colonel Prasad Bansod. He also reworked Insas into Bullpup. Yes if Army wants they can modify the existing TAR, Ugram to modern versions. But People in Chandigarh lobby does not want this things.
