Indians For Guns

At the risk of getting a few snickers from co-members, here's something that I found out recently! I think its a good Idea that the GOI is trying to rope in private sector companies in the manufacture of defence related equipment..

While its only mainly electronics related, it's a start anyway!

Sorry, Jonah, looks more like a Tata ad.

And the crux of all our defence related work is aptly summarized in your last statement. "It's a start anyway.." cause that's what it will remain, a start.

It looks more like a TATA-INSAS..
didn't know TATA was providing everything other than rifle for F-INSAS

Will the rifle,should it ever be made by TATA, be called T-INSAS?

the first phase of the f insas has already put into action TATA advanced materials are supplying the helmet and body armor

u can get info about the next phase from the following vid
no TATA is not going to be providing the rifle

more like buck rogers in the 21st century routine for me. then again TATA were the founder of our Air India. who knows we might have a tata bullets as well. i can just imagine when the jewan fire their guns the bullets will sing ta ta ta towards the enamy

Check the sublime message F - INSAS F for Freakin or the other adjective now they wanna get rid of it.

I remember reading somewhere that the INSAS is 5.45x30mm ? That seems like a wierd caliber.

I thought i heard him say "... a new caliber in 6.6mm..." can someone help my battered hearing?

He did say that.Probably the 6.6SPC

Hi did say 6.6 but he actually meant 6.8 SPC

Thats what you get when you are speed reading.Incidentally saw the video again and he does say 6.8 and not 6.6

Yeah... and year by year our Einsteins will research and develop bigger cartridges...until they eventually (re)discover or rather reinvent the 7.62mm...

its not 6.6 but the 6.5 grendel produced by alexander arms,one heck of a round.

barrett has the REC 7 in 6.8,there's the LWRC PSD in 6.8.

a few days back i talked to a friend in the SF units he said FINSAS on a whole is a distant dream,he said take for eg- arjun it was on paper in 1972 and you see the results now after almost 40 years and thousands of imported T90's later.

as of now SF units got tavors and recently the m4a1.

About 7.62 check the latest pictures of Brazil police action against the drug lords of their shanty town. Everyother cop had a FAL 7.62, assortment of 5.56 and even the second world war grease machine gun



I agree revert back to 7.62 rifle atleast it has knock out punch..
