most probably 7.62 nato.Wasn't it a 7.62x51. It sounded similar to an m24. But India doesn't have those so the closest are ssg3000 and Mauser sp66 . A lapua magnum would have mutilated the bodies and the distance was not more than 200-300 meters considering the video clarity. Lapua magnum bullets have energies closer to a .50 cal And a single shot would have killed the third guy but it took atleast two shots to kill the third guy. .338 would e an overkill at those distances.
hahahaha that police dude is holding his bren like a rpg...its depressing seeing how badly trained they are.I have talked about in my previous posts,regarding the ak 12 and ak 15 not being the final version but a work in progress,With Kalashnikov working on various improvements ,to be be incorporated in the future production batches,after test and trials and finalization of the new configuration.
Recently Kalashnikov have teased a photo on their page,though they have not revealed any details regarding it ,it appears to be a new version of the AK 12;as per my speculation.Main features to be noted are new longer mlok hand guard ,extending up to the gas block,new rear iron sight,new selector lever,which is most probably ambidextrous,a new muzzle device(appear so!),redesigned trigger guard and a completely new stock,which seem to be adjustable in length,height and side folding,at first glance the new stock does appear to be bulky and resemble a DMR stock ,however I feel it give the rifle a new,more pronounced character.

Now whether it is just a prototype or the new final configuration or a DMR version of AK 12/ak 15 ,is yet to be revealed by the Kalashnikov concern .
Coming to our AK 203 ,I would have like it to have a two point adjustable sling,with wider strap and a padded shoulder pad for comfort,and a bungee cord for the required flexibility.And yes,it should have come in black.

However,I do realize that it is foolish to expect attention regarding such nitty-gritty from those involved in procurement,for whom the idea of a modern rifle in 2020 is this :

With traditional ,basic two point sling,devoid of any comfort,adjustbility, and flexibility.

Tactical awareness and Indian weapon procurement are incompatible to each other.So ,one is not surprised but surely dismayed when police of one of the biggest state in the country (UP) decide to procure insas and SLR in the year 2020, in the name of weapon modernization.Both the rifle are Heavy,bulky,unergonomic,unreliable and non accessory compatible for a modern rifle .One can argue that cost factor was in play ,however an investment is just not in term of number but value,and it is a horrible deal for the value it provide.For 5.56 a decent ar ,which could have been easily purchased within 500 dollar for bulk purchase was a no brainier,they also had the option of domestic p72 rifle,else a cheap 7.62x39mm ak would have made a much more sense.For 7.62x51mm again a cheap ar 10 would have been much better.It make a great business sense to relocate an ar factory from abroad and start catering to various police departments across the country.

Indian small arms procurement is a disaster in general,albeit with few exceptions such as negev lmg,victrix scorpio and Barrett M95 .
Excellent interview. Thank you for posting.
i didnt think of that, i hope its true.Credit to "ManhattanProject" on D. F. I. for the dig.

The last one is very interesting. Weren't the NSG trialing the SSS Defence 7.62 sniper recently ? Video attached. Also look at the quantity, just 6. This is surely for extensive trials. I do hope its the SSS Defence rifle. Domestic companies must be supported.
The disparity between your 2 account names in 2 forums is staggering. What have we done to you ?i didnt think of that, i hope its true.
thats me by the way who posted it there, i posted the rest of the procurement plan too, go take a look if you want.
the DFI admins made me change my name, it was just as worse as it is here.The disparity between your 2 account names in 2 forums is staggering. What have we done to you ?![]()
That Video suggests someone had a lot of fun thoughIt's good to see that Garuds have transitioned to laser cut plate carriers :

Meanwhile a specimen of poor workmanship,quality,fit and finish on Insas.

One thing I would like for SSS defense to incorporate on their sniper rifles is a quick detachable carrying handle along with a hook,just like victrix sniper rifles :

The carrying handle would not only help in lugging around the sniper rifle :

But could also act as a forward grip for shooting :

While the hook would would enable easy rope attachment ,for the heliborne ops :

The 7.62x51 Viper sniper rifle seems to have completed the trials with the paramilitary forces.
Someone is making some commision money. These guys are buying 9mm rounds for 0.47$/round, last I remember i picked up bulk115gr 9mm for close to 0.15$/ round. Even now I think you can pick up ammo from freedom munitions for 0.22/rd.Credit to "ManhattanProject" on D. F. I. for the dig.

Tonbo was infact great when it comes to quality and delivered well ahead of schedule. Their products were priced well below their western counterparts but the kickback hungry top brass of IA wouldn't hesitate to kill any indigenous project for their commissionsSomeone is making some commision money.

9mm ball ammo for 0.47 $/ round seems a bit much.
