An INSAS trying to look like an FN-FAL? ;)

yes. good suggestion. thank you

we need to standardise on just two calibers- the 6.8 SPC and the 9 mm. there's an ARDE designed 6.8 x 43 mm round developed for the (now shelved) MCIWS- that's the way forward.

@@SandeepUnnithan I heard other countries are moving away from 9 mm smg because a carbine length AR, or something like tavor X95, AUG A3 outperforms an smg in every aspect along with body armour penetration, while keeping it an compact package. But I am pretty sure AUG A3 can be configured to accept 6.8 round without much recoil which can be used for special forces, a weapon like the Bushmaster ACR can fire 6.8 and with some changes made can also fire 7.62 NATO, I watched that weapon platform very closely when I was studying at class 8 I think. It was abandoned but had so much potential, you want more range? Take the ACR 7.62 NATO want an assault rifle? Take the ACR in 6.8 SPC or want an SMG? 6.8 can be fired from a carbine or bullpup in smg package having all the ballistic superiority over 9mm.

​​@@SandeepUnnithanHi Sandeep, Do you know what happened to the MCIWS variant in 6.8 spc? The whole MCIWS platform was the most promising design from the ARDE.

@@surajbiradar9827 MCIWS Shelved. Its now a museum exhibit at the ARDE. After the IA withdrew its tender for the multi-caliber AR. Stupid project in the first place.

its a close-quarter battle weapon. 100 m is good

UGRAM on my radar- its got v good feeback- said to be better than the OFB 7.62x51

@@SandeepUnnithan even do some documentry on SSS defence company's rifles... Need to boost our Make in India initiative...

yes for sure

1992? RTC?

coming soon ...

Have faith in the Indian Army sir- there's a reason they've bought the Asmi, the first indigenous weapon buy since the INSAS, in over 25 years. Are you suggesting they didn't suitably trial the Asmi before ordering it for the Para-SF ? About quality control, give Lokesh Machines Ltd (LML) a chance. You won't be disappointed.

Many successful small arms present today in any armed forces around the World have some design and parts copied from other guns. And mind you all top gun manufacturers of the World have done this. Atleast think before writing, don't comment like a mad dog A.Raja, it's OFB which has been the culprit since long, here the manufacturer is LMT and not erstwhile OFB. And where does the Hindu religion comes into the picture here? Is erstwhile OFB reserved 100% for Hindu's? So by your shit logic since L&T defence, Solar Group, Bharat Forge, Idea Forge, SSS defence, Sagar defence, Tonbo imagining, MKU etc are run by Hindu's, how come MKU, Solar, TI BF are considered best in their segment.

Dear Vinith, Somebody has to start, somebody has to innovate, somebody has to build... Give ASMI a chance and the results will be available for us to judge which does not matter anyway because we are not the user. There is a story about Japanese design students using their costly not at par with steadier design pencils for their assignments so that they will build their industry no matter what. I do not know how true it is but the intent is so amazing. Let's pitch for our product and continue to innovate building amazing stuffs

​​@@ArunSreedharan there is no malice intended here to anyone. I am merely highlighting the quality control issues that we have in india. Insas was a great weapon as far as accuracy was concerned. But the metallurgical quality which is the most essential for reliability of a weapon was super f' all. Drdo failed to improve on the barrel durability and penetration capacity despite many iterations after more than 25 years of battlefield experiences. And the fact that insas was inducted itself goes to show how poor our selection process is. If it was any other army insas would not have been fielded and rejected at the trials. Weapon forging reflects its people's cultural values of integrity and creativity. Unfortunately only time will tell on asmis quality. I would love it if iam disproved in time and would want to think that we are great (having sent spacecrafts onto moon and developed supercomputers)but alas with respect to weapons, they are something that we still lag in as we just can't maintain quality control and streamline our institutions of research which need accountability at all levels. Even with respect to asmi it's a private company that's producing the metals. Profit motive drives these companies to maintain quality but private military industrial complex is a double edged sword as it has its own interests to promote leading to perpetual wars for maintaining profit. Industrial production in the security field should be govt run with methods to tweak and force the system to work. Service to the soldier should be the key incentive to innovation not profit alone. For this reason india had ordnance factories within the govt domain. Shifting to private industry removes all notions of motive except profit. And in pursuit of the same corporations gain great leverage in the power corridors leading to competition eventually also not getting better as the few who have access to power deter others by using the govt functionaries. We all know how corrupted our govt systems are. India doesn't have small scale industrial enterprises indulging in large scale manufacturing of weapons. Instead a few already established big conglomerates capture the market using crony capitalism by preventing the rest of the competitors from flourishing. The only solution is in drdo and ordnance factories getting a major tweak in their accountability and process of human resource induction as these are key to developing and innovating technologies. Single point focus is necessary. A lesson has to be borrowed from Israel on how well they managed and exploited their human capital. Look at china and how well they have streamlined their state operated enterprises(SOE) which are similar to our psu's. Norinco the major small arms manufacturer for china is a SOE. Indians in govt dont improve their systems and rely on private enterprises which is not the way.

@@SandeepUnnithan wasn't the insas rifle suitably trialled before inducting? Didn't it fail as a weapon!!

huzoor...🙌

thank you Shayan

thanks for watching

Bohot saal baad aaye

@@SandeepUnnithan thanks for your comment sir

good observation. this is a pre-production model. the production models will have the front grip set back.

good to be back!

thank you. glad to be back

No he is an Indian first..

@@harpreetsinghpannu408 paaji, please keep quiet. I asked him only. Everybody is Indian first. But that doesn't matter to ask this question. Nothing wrong with asking.🤫

​@@harpreetsinghpannu408Acknowledge but there is nothing wrong with asking state Identity.

അതെ. തിരുവിതാംകൂറിൽ നിന്ന്

absolutely

big shoes to fill...but im sure Asmi is up to it

@@SandeepUnnithan the country that can go to the moon, make fighter jets, cars, etc... can definitely manufacture a submachine gun
