how can just moving a control surface increase range? bigger surfaces to generate more lift and some airflow smoothing and drag reduction measures ? I am guessing the rocket is propelled to a high altitude where the drag is low enough, and the increased control surface help the rocket glide for far...

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

On the topic of 7.62x51, a reliasation that our war with Paks is going to be static on the LoC. Smaller caliber is not going to cut it and IA currently is forced to provide AK even to troops on LoC, to give them the range required to target Paks on the mountains tops. Going 7.62x51 negates the need...

^^ OFB rifle isn't dead (for now). They will have a shot at phase-II procurement (if deemed worthy by powers that may be).

Yes manish ji, mx4 is missing from the list. The good thing about SiG 716 is, it is Hk416 but cheaper and accepts third party magazines more readily. It is also popular in shooting sports because of accuracy at a low price point. I see the existence of Dragunov in Indian service being threatened by ...

Sachin ji, Ghatak platoons are already trained for SF like roles.

Thakur_B

Obvious hatchet job is obvious.

Thakur_B

Thakur so the sig will go to inf and RR? CQB (caracal) will most likely go to RR and SF. We will see SiG in supporting role there as well. SF and Ghatak will most likely get lions share of SiG. SiG 716 will also most likely fill in the role of marksman rifle with modern optics. Overall it is going ...

SiG and Caracal purchases are off the shelf emergency purchases of phase 1 that is approximately 10-15% of rifle and 20% of carbine requirement. Phase 2 will have a domestic competition of sorts to manufacture 7.62 NATO rifles and 5.56 NATO carbines. Completely different models may get selected in t...

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.

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...
