What carbine is that? Take a guess....


For afficionados of small arms... guess that carbine's make, calibre, bore and attachments. One Gold Star and two Brownie Points for the best assessment.

    You folks, I must admit, are way ahead of the curve. There's only one thing that everyone is wrong on. The MARS sight is manufactured by Alpha Design in Bangalore. They have a JV with ITL.

    Hilarious! That's called the classic South Block undergrip. Prevents the foldout butt from folding into one's butt.

    Sanket:

    I'm not pointing towards the gentleman in the suit. I'm pointing way to his left. It's the two-dimensional photo that makes it seem that way.

    There is nothing called the F-INSAS gun.

    Col. Shukla,

    In the top-right corner of the second photo, there is a poster on something called the "Multi Calibre Individual Weapon System".

    Do you have a close-up of that poster or any details about this MCIWS? To me it looks like a successor to the INSAS assault rifle with modular add-ons: the 40mm UBGL is discernible as well as some kind of thermal sight.

  37. Prateik Fernandes25 July 2010 at 18:15

    it's the MSMC. Ajay sir could you please tell as to why it has not been inducted yet?

    Are you not supposed to keep both eyes open while using a reflex sight?
    Supposed to be one of its main advantage; of retaining a greater field of vision.

    Looks good, and I hope the specifications are as good as a comparable import. Just one comment: Does the grip seem odd? It seems to bend forward; this has to put a lot of strain on the operator's wrist. I hope they change this if and when this weapon hits full production.
