Indian Army kicks off final carbine trials

[Koovie]

Will take your word on it

I should not that it was somewhere last year...

IDK what happened in between... (which could be anything since it is India )

 

[Daedalus]

I heard it on another defence forum. The poster there got it from a DRDO newsletter which stated that all trials had been satisfactory.

But I cannot find it anymore.

Do you mean this news letter,

Dr Datar expressed satisfaction on the successful user trials of Joint Venture Protective Carbine (JVPC)

Cancel the Dam Import.

Let DRDO Develop its Carbine Further...

When will the Mammoth Defense Companies Start production...We are paying them salaries.

It is a SHAME with so much of Talent we were worlds Largest Defense Equipment Importer.

Those carbines will only replace AR`s of selected units, like the RR`s who are currently using AK`s as their main weapon

IT said it failed in desert n cold trials...... if DRDO weapon have failed IA have made it front page headline

Is Modi sleeping. Lol all that big talks about making India an export hub??

 

[The A-5]

I think, the competitors are Galil ACE, ARX-160 and Colt Modular Carbine (CMC/CM901). All are capable of
multi-caliber ammo.

These would be issued in limited numbers to SFs and some Army units I think while OFB-designed MCIWS
multi-cal rifle becomes standard-issue service weapon, replacing INSAS starting around 2016 I think.

Yup, but SF units will use their own weapons of choice
