I have been inside the German side of their Grey room on a guided visit! It was an amazing experience.

I remember him mentioning this in some of his years old videos that US do get some old SLR produced in India and also the ammunition.​

Functionality and reliability are very important. However, ergonomics and aesthetics are as important.


I'm not sure about the former, but this rifle is certainly classy in both ergonomics and aesthetics department

Accidentally spotted SLR 1C full auto while watching border in YouTube.
Anyone knew why 1C was not mass produced in India?why it had israeli like handguards and not full length hand guards like other SLR variants.Never saw one in real life though

I think full auto 7.62x51 mm fire was considered wasteful and inaccurate by the Indian Army which thought that a semi auto SLR would only be fired prone or with cover at an enemy from distance.

The BREN 1B was deemed to be sufficient for a SAW/LMG role and an SLR 1C full auto was considered redundant unless for LRP/Ghatak units (in frame).

The design was adopted sparingly to possibly provide a solution for mechanized units to fire from BMP firing ports while maneuvering since a BREN may have been too bulky and cumbersome in a constrained space.

For any close quarters combat, the 9x19mm 1A1 Carbine was deemed sufficient until the Indian Army came face to face with 7.62x39 mm AKs during IPKF (Sri Lanka) and Kashmir Insurgency at which point they became fixated upon the AK and finally in 2019 decided that the AK 203 would be the standard rifle.
