DRDO Multical Rifle Unveiled- the next generation rifle for the IA

[Omega007]

7.62 X 51 looks good on only 1 gun, SCAR-H. Rest is raddi.....

You have to keep this particular mentality back home when you come in a discussion forum.As far as I see you have come here with a preprogrammed mindset and you are not ready to absorb any new info provided to you.
How can you claim that other than SCAR H,all other weapons chambered for M 80 NATO round are 'RADDY'??Why-does your SCAR H turns an ordinary M 80 ball into some super high-tech plasma shot that can go through concrete pillboxes?? Have you anything to back your claim up??This isn't youtube,here you are expected to back up your claim.
By your logic then,all the well known and battle proven machines like M 14,FN FAL,G3,M 240 GPMG,FN MAG 58-everything is junk!!Have you used a single one of them??I have and I've felt the power and I have seen pictures of wounds created by M 80 rounds NOT fired from your uber futuristic super duper out of this world SCAR H.And if the HK G3A3 is a RADDI, I guess you won't mind taking a hit on your torso from it without a body armor then,what say??

Guys wrt the Bullpup design:

There were 2 designs running in parallel the traditional design and bull pup design, the IA and ARDE/DRDO trailed both and I'm pretty sure the standard design was found to be superior. To be honest there's not much evidence that as a standard issue rifle for the infantry that the bull pup is inherently superior to the traditional design- most modern armies still use the standard design and in fact have locked themselves in with the traditional rifle even for their future soldier concepts. I can only think of 4 modern militaries with the Bull-pup as their standard issue rifle (Australia, Israel, France and the UK).

That's a myth. Initially there were issues with the INSAS but they were corrected in subsequent batches.

Sure give a Level IIIA jacket and a distance of 50 - 100m and I'll live. Rest are heave, slow firing and good for marksman or recon. Not for assault. (Rifles strictly)

Are you sure about the NIJ level IIIA will protect you against M 80 FMJ ball ammo??Because last time I heard,level IIIA was designed to protect against slower velocity handgun ammo like .357 SIG flat nosed or .44 Magnum hollow point bullets.It was never designed to stop military grade high velocity spitzer rounds.

And the problems you mentioned about G3 will also affect FN SCAR H.

Now,I'm not aware of any such operating principle for self-loading firearms.What is it if you kindly explain.I know about some operating principles other,than,gas like blow back operation,recoil operation,chain,gatling etc but never heard of something like 'direct impringement' before-what,is it??

Not much diff from a piston driven mechanism.. the bled gas after travelling through the tube directly contacts or impinges the bolt carrier mechanism. So no more piston, operating rod.

PLA frontline units are also using bullpup.

Thats correct. I recently met some NSG guys and spent sometimes with them and asked this particular question and they said same about INSAS that initially it had some issues but later batches are better. Though its less powerful than AKs but still a satisfactory assault rifle especially later batches.

Seems these are not same guns as DRDO's MCIWS
If yes the length is kinda big right?

The right side one is ARDE MCIWS with a fore grip,different mag and a MARS sight.
The length is looking different due to different camera angle.

So isn't the barrel too long? I expected more compact design
