D
Is it capable of firing two different rounds at same time or something like that?

One 5.56 rifle along with 20 mm programmable airburst grenade launcher.
If its being made in India, I'd like to see the army to go Car-816s for the whole 360000 carbine tender. They just can't have too many different guns. Simply not possible to train a regular infantry Jawan on 4 different platforms.
Though I still have reservations about 5.56mm rifles for CQB as opposed to 7.62*39.
But, considering things now, I'd be happy if MoD babus approve this..
Bullet resistant helmet ? Imagine being shot from an AWM in that helmet, what? you think this will save you???
i dont think there are any helmets in the world that would save you from a 300win mag round.
What’s the difference apart from scopes, bipods and slightly extended barrel length ?
That is the difference.. Also its a short stroke piston operated weapon. Indian Army version is DI.
We can always order few barrels with extended length and appropriate twist rate if DI is not going to limit the functionality.
Scopes and bipods are standard fit I believe
Not gonna actually happen. IA Northern Comd has floated a tender for upgradation of Dragunov. 90 in first batch, rest later.
We have 6k-7k Drags. And there is a tender for 3k+ .338 sniper rifle. We have enough for Frontlines. Just gotta upgrade them. If they are still inadequate, the present Sig 716 with a suppressor and a good Low power variable optic will suffice.
Numbers aren't the problem, training is. Army doesn't have institution or even a course for sniper or marksman training. All marksmen in the army are just normal Jawans with really good (accurate) shooting skills. Army cultivates born shooters, as opposed to giving everybody a chance and adequate training..

then why they are making bulletproof stuff that is durable to those ammunitions?
The dmr's will be in 7.62x51. would be good if we buy the sr-25 or the lmt l129 both DI and exceptional reliable gun designs and training won't be much different to the sig 716 with interchangeable mags and ammunition. Sadly knights armament won't pitch there guns butt lmt has a JV with SSS defense so we could see them winning...
