^^^ question for ballistics experts - IIRC at akshardham one of the problems that NSG had was that the pigs were outranging them using AK47s compared to the H&K MPGs; appreciate that its not a 5.56mm but the impression from reports at the time was that the AK47 was accurate to much longer range...

Issue is Helina is not done development yet. There might be French ATGM coming in until Helina & SANT are done.

PARS-3 or Spike, neither seem to be in contention anymore. Helina seems pretty close to clearing final hurdles, so the aircraft may have to wait for FOC till Helina is good to go.

Is this in the same area as the recent shooting death of Indian soldier from a head shot that penetrated the Kevlar helmet? M4 is accurate to 500m and was used to 800m in Afghanistan. Also its bullet is designed to penetrate body armor with its steel core. Vicky Nanjappa says these M4s are Taliban ...

No. MCIWS and HK 416 are worlds apart. MCIWS is closer to AR-18 derivatives. HK416 is piston driven AR-15.
