    OFB 7.62x51 Assault Rifle (new video)

    This Ghaatak is a 7.62x39 AK clone. Army requirement calls for 7.62x51 rifles (which is what the gun in the video is). I don't know if OFB internally refers to this new gun as Ghaatak 7.62x51 (only Prasun Sengupta calls it Ghaatak)...but all other sources simply call it OFB 7.62x51 Rifle. It...

    OFB 7.62x51 Assault Rifle (new video)

    You don't need paper-thin fingers. There are dozens of videos of people shooting SCARs with stock folded. But that's irrelevant because as I said, the gun is not meant to be fired with stock folded. The whole purpose of HAVING a stock is to ensure shooter comfort, proper aiming and proper...

    Sri Lanka welcomes it's first Indian build AOPV at Colombo harbour.

    This is heavily based on the Saryu-class OPV (and is from the same shipyard) -

    OFB 7.62x51 Assault Rifle (new video)

    You can, it's difficult but you can. There is enough space for the trigger finger if you see at 1:19. Besides, FAB Defense (the Israeli company that makes the stock) produces similar stocks for SA58s (similar dimensions as this rifle) and they can be operated with butt folded. It visually blocks...

    OFB 7.62x51 Assault Rifle (new video)

    I have little faith in this gun winning that tender...I'd be happy if it does though. But I'm content to settle for a Galil ACE-21/23 or an M4CQB.

    OFB 7.62x51 Assault Rifle (new video)

    I believe the 'matte finish' is the result of a phosphate coating. This process is called Parkerizing and is done to improve the metal's resistance to corrosion and help the components survive usual wear & tear of field use better. The 20-round box mag is directly taken from an FN FAL (1A SLR)...

    I've known the second picture to have been around for quite a while...the first one is new though (to me at least).

    I believe this guy is from MARCOS? Glad to see Tavors in tan color. Edit: Found out this guy is Para-SF (thought it could be MARCOS because I thought the guys in white in background were Navy). And the color is Flat Dark Earth...heard of it before but I still prefer to call it desert tan :p:

    Looks excellent indeed...why didn't I notice this before?? That too in 308! Can be easily converted to DMR which means it can also replace the SG550-1.

    With 'Metro Man' E Sreedharan by side, PM Narendra Modi flags off Kochi Metro

    Oh just shut up! You think congress wouldn't have tried to take credit if they were in power??

    With 'Metro Man' E Sreedharan by side, PM Narendra Modi flags off Kochi Metro

    The truth is, Kochi would be having a Metro regardless of who's in power when it was started, completed, or otherwise. Once a city grows big enough, it requires a Metro - that's just the natural path of urban development. Even if the communists were in power, it would have still happened. So...

    Research seminar on Indian AESA radars.

    The 18 TRM one isn't for fighter aircraft. Probably a missile seeker or something. Fighters usually have between 500-1000 modules. Number of modules does not indicate architecture process. All the 1000+ TRM radars that are in use today (mostly on US jets like F-15C and F/A-18E/F) are all based...
