>>64572180Indus is in Pakistan, the Indus civilization is a mute culture who's writing hasn't been translated. Also AFAIK modern Indian civilization has little to no connection to the Indus River Valley Civilization (IIRC they're invaders who came from the north and turned the natives into Dalits to make them clean their shit).
>>64572180Seriously. It's not like there aren't tons of weapons from their own mythology they could reference. What's wrong with calling it the Vajra, Arrow of Brahma, Pinaka, Sharanga, Trishula, Vijaya....
>>64572210well we do have the Kriss Corporation...
>>64572180Pakistan calls its F-16s Indus vipers just to troll the Indians kek.
see yuo in svarga brother
>>64572180Can any calibre autists explain to me why India is moving away from 5.56x45 to 7.65x39, they'll literally be fighting a war on the plains if ever, they need range not punch, makes sense for CI ops though
>>64572763>Can any calibre autists explain to me why India is moving away from 5.56x45 to 7.65x39,Easy, they're fucking retards. Also I'd assume either India has a stockpile of x39 or Russia is willing to sell india 7.62x39 on the cheap because a bunch of comblock countries just have a fuck ton of it laying around. The US/NATO just switched to using 7.62x51 in GPMGs until we ran down the supply but the commie countries never really ran down their x39 supply and that's why some of them, even russia, use the x39 guns along with the 5.45 guns
>>64572763Why the fuck does India do all the other stupid shit they do?
>>64572763>moving from 5.56 to 7.62x39lol, lmao. They’re actually doing this? Does time flow in the same direction for them?
>>64572180That thing looks absolutely terrible. Did they outsource production to Khyber pass artisanal workshops?
The poster above forfeits 20% of his izzat in favour of the poster below
>>64573949Akshually they're moving towards a mixed Calibre System for battle rifles, 7.62x39 for regular infantry (AK 203) and 7.62x51 (Sig 716) for mountaineers, border troops of the Army, and CI ops
>>64574003>moving towards Anon, they are still using Bren that is chambered in 7.62x51 and Ishapore 2A1 rifle at the border. Also, their entire AK-23 program is a shit show iirc
>>64572210>Vajra>Vijayaare actually in service>>64572180>India has a rifle called the >Excaliburthey wish to redeem it from the Europeans
>>64574013They've retired the enfields from active army service, only police forces use it now, what I don't understand is that why don't they adopt a standard 7.62x51 rifle, they're a defensive army and need a powerful round to cause mass casualties to invading army to deter them
>>64572180>set to maximum powerthey're evolving
>>64574003That dual caliber paradigm makes no sense. There’s a reason the whole world moved away from squashed down, short and fat 1st gen intermediates and to the new gen of 5.56-esque ones.Tbh India’s MINSAS PDW (picrel) is pretty cool. Its chambering is like a 221 fireball but a bit shorter. They should do something with that.
>>64575303It's used by NSG, the National Security Guard commandos, equivalent of FBI hostage rescue teams, the problem is myriad armed forces vying for their own ultra specialized arsenal even though a lot of them have overlapping domain of operations, as for dual calibre policy, that could be a necessity if the army generals feel that's what they need, at the end of the day they're the ones who have to plan and execute any operation given the government has completely abdicated Defence policy in favour of security and military officers
Did anyone not notice the rear sight in OP? It's african-tier bullet shoots harder. Lol poojeets.
>>64572763They probably don't know the difference between 7.62x39 and 7.62x51. Normally I'd say that's too retarded to be a serious explanation but this is India and retardation is their specialty.
>>64573510Oh the Insas and its see through mags. I rememeber being in a camp in Syria with these retards. They were in charge of front gate security for some reason, and kept having ND's, so our MP officer chewed their C/O out from his shitty troops. Next day, every indian on the gate had empty mags in their rifles, because no ammo = no ND = no loud white man shouting. I kept my mine loaded at all times beside the bed after realising that.
>>64575479Please be misinformation
>>64572180>Mexico isn't naming their shit>>Kusanagi no TsurugiNo, but they should. Also despite hindufash propaganda many Indians are britboos
>>64575876I really wish it was. Theyre also raging faggots aswell, so thats great. Also prefered to chop their food on fucking tree stumps behind the mess instead of the actual kitchen they were provided with, smelly little bastards. Nepalese werent much better, wont lie.
>>64572180I mean, Russia did name their ballistic missile Iskander. Last I checked Alexander wasn't from Russia and only went anywhere near there to kill people.Japan also went ahead and named an entire car brand after an Iranian God so there's that.
>>64576575>Last I checked Alexander wasn't from RussiaMaybe he was Russian in the zigger cope alt-history timeline.>blyat, we wuz golden hordez an' shiet
>>64572763Insas is shit Insas is 5.56Ak is akAk worksAk is 762x39Troops want gun that works.troops demand 7.62 cause they only know 2 guns And only one of them works Clearly it's 5.56 fault and not Indian manufacturing.
>>64575479kek
>>64577690lmao, good bait
>>64576575>Japan also went ahead and named an entire car brand after an Iranian God so there's that.it sounds close to the founder's surname (Matsuda), and naming your cars after the Zoroastrian big cheese probably sounds more impressive than naming them after mister pine tree rice field
>>64575303>>64575336>Its chamberingwhat round?
>>64580297It’s called 5.56x30mm MINSAS. From what I gather, it’s almost identical to 5.56 MARS. Just a 5.56 with a much shorter (30mm) case.Alright I spent a few minutes searching for the video in which the cartridge is shown, but can’t seem to find it. If I do, I’ll link it,
>>64580297>>64581443(me)You can catch a glimpse of it in this video:https://youtu.be/T52_-SKBUkg?si=3Vg9JY_TMD_4Z2Gh0:53-1:00
