F-Insas Rifle Design Clears Audit, To Go Into Production From Jan 2012

[acetophenol]

The defence ministry may no longer have to search for an advanced rifle to arm the Indian infantry soldier of the future under the F-Insas project. Rifle Factory Ishapore (RFI) claims to have come up with an advanced variant of the existing 5.56 mm Insas rifle that will go into production from January, 2012. “The rifle is an extremely modern weapon that will meet with the requirements of the future infantryman. Our designs have already cleared the audit and production is expected to start from January,” a source said. RFI has already manufactured over a million Insas rifles for distribution among security personnel in India. The Insas was first introduced before the Kargil war and several variants have since been developed. When the Future Infantry Soldier as System (F-Insas) project was launched by the defence ministry, the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) and Ordnance Factory Board (OFB) got together to develop weapons for the soldier of the future. more and from F-Insas Rifle Design Clears Audit, To Go Into Production From Jan 2012 | idrw.org

Among the weapons for the F-Insas project is a multi-calibre carbine for Close Quarter Battle (CQB) and a rifle. OFB has already developed the Milap multi-calibre carbine and handed it over to the Army for field trials. The carbine is modular in structure and can fire 5.56 mm, 7.62 mm and also 6.8 mm rounds.

so in other words it is like an assault cum sniper rifle shown in future weapons which can fire 5.56 MM and 7.62 MM rounds

No,5.56 mm and 7.62 x 39 for CI ops regarding OFB carbine,what you saw on Future Weapons is the 7.62 x 51 mm round which is used in Designated Marksman Rifle's mostly and the M24 system.The gun you saw was the SABR and it is just an inter-changeable barrel version not change in caliber like the OFB carbine, it is a .308 system short barrel for assault role and change to longer barrel for precision marksmanship.The SABR is best suited for SF units.
