A New Indian .303 Carbine?

Post by Vikram » Mon Apr 04, 2011 2:59 pm

Check the rifle slung to the shoulder of the lady jawan in the left. A full blooded .303 rifle with such short barrel?Imagine the muzzle blast and recoil.Leave alone accuracy! :shock: :shock: :mrgreen:

It's the rubber thingy

... after an epic quarter century struggle in research against the odds this is the break through.

They also use this for blanks pretty often... I do recall seeing footage of Manipur cops blank-firing this next to the ears of prone protesters.

+1 WTP
Muzzle loada a9-10 inch long hard rubber prjectile, and a standard blank round
aim and fire 2/3 of distance between you and rioters
I fired it a couple of times -courtesy a friendly cop.

Ever seen the injury it causes, when indiscipline cops fires at point blank and getting away with it. Leaving the victim with smashed bone and tissues ankle joint.
