Re: Small Armaments & Infantry Equipment - News & Discussion
CRPF seems to be going for 7.62x51 while the Army seems to be buying AK203, which is 7.62x39. I don't know - it all seems reversed. What is the usecase for CRPF to go for such a powerful round ? Nothing to take the achievement away - I'm glad that CRPF is going for a desi gun instead of going the ar...

So, core BJP voters are going to vote for BJP anyway. But there is a huge swing voter base ...

That's a pity, because it is a perfect shock and awe weapon to be used in the early hours of a war.
