Cornershot Sought For Rashtriya Rifles :

[Jason bourne]

After the National Security Guards and the Indian Navy’s MARCOS, it is now the turn of the Indian Army’s 65,000-strong Rashtriya Rifles to acquire the Cornershot system. Army HQ has issued an RFI calling for technical proposals for a weapon system that can mount an in-service 9mm Pistol 9mm for shooting around the corner without exposing the firer, or wi...th minimum exposure of the firer. It is envisaged to engage targets effectively using traverse firing. The offered system should also be able to mount an in-service (30mm or 40mm) UBGL for shooting around the corner. The selected system is also likely to be licence-assembled by the MoD-owned Ordnance Factories Board, against an order for at least 5,000 units. Several of India’s Central Armed Police Forces and state-level Police agencies too are likely to induct another 7,000 such systems in the near future.

Apart from the Israel-based Golan Group, such weapon systems have been developed by China’s Chongqing Changfeng Machinery Co Ltd and Shanghai Sea Shield Technologies Company (these being the HD-66 and CF-06), Iran, and the state-owned Pakistan Ordnance Factories (POF), which in 2008 unveilled its POFEye

A patrol is moving in a built up area through a village lane. The scouts turn a corner and get fired at. One scout gets shot and injured while the other manages to scramble back . The entire patrol gets held up by a couple of militants firing from concealed positions. The patrol leader plans an outflanking move along another lane or through buildings in the rear with the aim of hitting the militants from the rear and driving them out of their hiding and eliminating them. Valuable time is lost and the main militant group hiding in the village manages to escape while the patrol eliminates the two militants who had been tasked to delay the patrol and thus facilitate the escape of the others.

This is the typical scenario which can be resolved by a corner shot system. The patrol eliminates the concealed militants without exposing itself, continues quickly to the objective and surrounds the house in which the main militant group is holed up. In the ensuing fire fight, most of the militants die, a few are captured alive.

The only point for consideration is how effective a 9 mm pistol be in these circumstances. It is definitely not the weapon of choice here. Something capable of firing a burst accurately up to at least 100 meters is needed. UBGL in a built up area? Maybe. While it may not get the militants, the flying splinters and airbursts will definitely keep their heads down. But 9 mm pistol, no way.

@Pakistani Nationalist

You still want to sell us POF Eye, even though it'll be used against Pakistan?

From the looks it feels like POF-Eye is heavy, any specifications?

Corner-shot is used in CQB where action takes place at some 10-20 metres,9mm is good enough for that job.The Israeli's Yamam has been using this succesfully along with the kitty cornershot for long.

9mm pistols in the hands of SF units is no joke,a Navy SEAL once said:

"Some people will say duh its just a 9mm!! BUT when i'll put two rounds through your heart and one through your head you want say anything and neither will the enemy"

Oh yeah...it can be used against terrorists in kashmir and it would be a great good will gesture.

 

[Water Car Engineer]

The cornershot will be made in India, but idk why they need this..

Indeed it will be good enough against some terrorists but super angry militants already had some of them..
