Does the Indian Army use drum magazine?

[kartika]

in the nat geo mission army videos,i saw sodiers carrying insas rifles with drum magazines.do we use drum magasines for insas rifles?or is it the light machine gun of insas family?

 

[MUHARIB]

AFAIK i dont think those are drunk magazines...what you saw must be the shell catching box ..its fixed right on the shell ejector...Well i might be wrong too.

If u saw a drum magazine under the LMG then it would probably be a drum magazine..considering it looked like a circular drum ?

Most SF Forces usually use a dual 69 jury rigged magazines usually joined by a ductape

Yes, you are correct.They are used to collect the spent brass casings which are sent back to OFB to be refilled with gunpowder and a bullet.

Here we don't use Beta-C magazines, we don't use any drum magazines for any of our assault rifles or machine guns.As you said they usually use two taped magazines for AK's and Two magazines clamped together in the case of MP5's and SG551's as well.

Magazine fed, and was stationed in Stallions and Maruti Gypsies. There was another large Tata SUV (not safari or anything known), i don't know it's name.

That was a case collector or a spent case collector filled to an INSAS rifle. During training, ammunition fired has to be accounted for so that it does not fall into the wrong hands, hence the spent cases have to be deposited after a training event. Also the brass cases are expensive and are recycled.

ROFL that is a shell collector bcoz the IA doesnt want to loose shells in trainning and it is cost effective for a poor nation like us.

i've seen INSAS LMG's with 100 round drum mags as well as 20 and 30 round mags which can also be used on the INSAS assault rifle itself
