My questions for the Gurus: 1. Is there any major army that uses the 7.52x51mm caliber for its main assault rifle for the general infantry? 2. The Tavor may be a good rifle for the special forces, but is it suitable for the general infantry? For one thing, how does the bullpup design work with a ba...

If by indian standard ammunition they mean 5.56 INSAS round then any carbine that uses stanag nato standard magazine is out as 5.56 INSAS round being 2.5 mm longer will result in feed failure.

AA-12 shotgun. Around 50 sec mark, the presenters inform that it has been ordered by India. We are yet to come across any images in the field. So far the only gas operated shotgun we have seen is Franchi SPAS-15 with NSG.

^^ Although 7.62x54 is a slightly better cartridge, bolt action ssg69 has a better moa. It ultimately boils down to greater volume of fire with minimal training vs better accuracy at long ranges.

^^ Sachin ji, look at the history of Fn P90 and HK MP7 and you will get the philosophy behind non standard caliber of JVPC. The origins of 5.56x30 requirements date from around the same timeline as NATO trials for 9x19 replacement.

This is going to be a long rant. The AR-2 attempt by OFB isn't half shabby. Shifting from a stamped receiver to milled one probably helped a lot with the finish. Since FALs were milled and INSAS was the first mass produced stamped receiver gun, it probably had its fair share of QC issues. To say AKM...
