Indian Army hunts for sniper rifle under F-INSAS infantry modernisation pro

[MilSpec]

EXACTLY WE HAVE MADE SOME DAMN GOOD SNIPER RIFLES IN INDIA... it doesnt surprise me, the Indian Amry is full of corruption its getting so bad. General Singh blew the top of the lid but there is much more that is being suppressed. Where is the debate on military and political corruption....

Sorry to bust your bubble but both SVD dragunov and Vidhwansak are of forign origins, Dragunov is said to be produced by ofb which it think is a hoax ,IMO its assembled in by ofb and Vidhwansak is a license copy of Denel NTW 20. OFB is pathetic when it comes to small arms design, to have a good small arms industry you cannot have draconian british era arms control.

Mate I think you're getting swept away in hysteria. It is nowhere near as bad as you say. And the Vidhwansak is an anti-material rifle with dubious capabilities. There is a reason it has been inducted in very small numbers.

+ compared to the rifles on the market India makes some serious crap. IA deserves the best and shouldn't be constrained by inability of domestic industries to make decent products.

Unless there is reforms in gunlaws, it will be impossible to have good firearms systems. We need liberal gun laws and relaxation of export regime, only then we can find private industries participating which in turn will translate into quality.
