It honestly depends on range and type of warfare. We use Type-56 and ect in FATA because it matches the environment of close range and unconventional warfare. A war with India is whole other story - which will mostly center around long range and slow firefights in open fields or mountains.fouji consensus is sticking with 7.63 because of its stopping power and penetration. I get that.
my ONLY observation is that the average skinny frame of our jawan doesn't handle the recoil of the G3 very well.
what good is a heavy round when it will shoot past the target? compare that to 5.56 round which is lighter, economical and has less kick meaning the firer has better chance of placing it at the vital parts of his enemy. its opponents whine about its lack of stopping power and penetration .. ignoring the fact that its hitting the target.
when the Americans switched to 5.56 rounds in Vietnam then they scored more kills. the actual war footage of armymen firing G3 in WoT is less than impressive. the G3 is almost succeeding in flying away from the soldier.. compare that to the other guns like carbines or assault rifles like type 56.. our Jawans are doing much better.
see this comparison video. to show what I mean.
