This is the Sterling...

yes it is, please look up the countries that use it before you start in. Mostly used by police.

 

[Jacobtheindoamerican]

At one point there was even INSAS bullpups. They didnt like it I guess.

Look at the length between the two.

I think we need a replacement for INSAS before any corner shot.

Tavor, micro uzi, msmc, sterling...lots of personal defense/close quarter combat weapons but heavily lacking in true rifle category. What do Indians use for marksman rifles and general duty machine gun/squad assist weapon?? Doesn't the Insas also come in a heavier setup for use as lmg?

Have to admit, that thing looks badass.

But as for INSAS, i was thinking its time we replace it. I know it was the rifle used in Kargil, but thats no indication it was good. soldiers did complain about certain features of the rifle.

Excalibur looks promising. we should further develop it, and probably make a bull-pup design, since it reduces rifle length and weight without compromising accuracy or muzzle velocity.

Corner shot isn't distributed at the squad level but they are in service. They aren't used much in a military role yet. I doubt police even use them unless needed for rapid response high threat situation.

Its In Service??? With Whom??? SSG??

SSG for sure (they test all the weapons) and elite police units.
