I was unaware of the silencer and flash suppressors being fitted to the Heavy Mgs- I guess you learn something new everyday. I still have to finish reading the PDF file but I was wondering how much the muzzle flash and sound is reduced by these accessories. For example, if some one was firing a bur...

Differs frm state to state. In AZ and TX, if youre doing over a 100, you mandatorily spend a couple of nights in the cooler. In CA also, you spend a night in the cooler. At the very minimum, you get a 2 point violation for going over 100 mph + another 2 points for reckless driving generally. http:/...

You can never achieve 2 km distance hit with this rifle, bcz it uses the standard 7.62x51 mm NATO caliber (sniper round). It's efective range is 1000 m. Yes, you are quite correct. The effective range for the M40-A3 is around 1000m. The 50 cal Barrett M82 (and its successors upto XM500) is what is ...

I was talking about this to a friend of mine -US marine recon -who said in iraq they routinely shoot at 2 km plus at man sized target but not with standard assault rifle but with M2 and special bullets USMC uses M40 A3 as its current sniping rifle. An M40 starts off life as a Remington 700 hunting ...

The only difference is that they're made by other countries besides India . Seriously though, MINSAS is even advertised as a CQB weapon on the OFB page.sunilUpa wrote:
What is difference b/w CQB carbines and ones made by DRDO like MINISAS/MSMC?

Ramana, Romans used to call any non Romanised people barbarians. Goths etc were called barbarians by the Romans. So, Romans calling the Carthagians vandals should not be taken seriously. Calling them vandals would be conforming to the western view. JMT. Vandals (note the capitalization) were a Germ...

I remember someone once told me how the fire mode selector was better positioned in the M16 than in the AKs. He showed how the M16 selector can be operated by the firing hand's thumb, making switching between Safe, Single Shot and Auto much easier and quicker. Whereas in the AK, one would require t...

Good hi-res pictures of the factory and the tools used to make rail carriages. Gotta love the pic of the furnishing shop floor -- shows a lot of people standing around chatting, rather than working on the carriages.

<nitpick> I think the FN 1A and the L1A1 are both referring to the same weapon actually (IIRC, India didn't use the L1A1, only the 1A). The L1A1 was actually the British version of the Fabrique Nationale (FN) FAL in which the MOD had incorporated several modifications to suit their own needs. The In...

What is your opinion on the 5.56mm AK-102? How does it compare to the M-16a1 or the Ak-74? AK-102 is actually a carbine variant of AK-101 (it has a shorter barrel) and they're both designed to fire NATO ammunition. Think of them as improved AK-74s By the way, if you want to use NATO rounds (M855 or...

Interestingly, the AN-94 has a much more complex mechanism than the AK-74 family, which is quite different from the Russian philosophy of the past which kept simplicity as high priority. Russian sources claim that the AN-94 is more reliable than the 74 due to modern materials and production techniqu...

Heh, it looks like Jim Sullivan is trying to peddle his Ultimax weapon system. Things that were misleading in the documentary: 1. The M-16 isn't a bad rifle PROVIDED it is kept clean. Granted that the AK series has far wider tolerances and isn't affected by dirt as much as the M-16 series. OTOH, a v...
