How many of these pdw's have been ordered? And why they are not ordered in large numbers ?
Even BSF is using stupid MX4 carbine,

33k by CRPF. 100s by several police forces. You'll start to see them a lot.

33 k that's great! but seriously our forces need to order them in numbers

7.62x51 AR

This muzzle break is crazy

Looks like they are desperately trying to limit the flash
But I think they should refine the design

And recoil, it's not a finished product by any means. They said the recoil shouldnt be an issue now due to the new muzzle. For the caliber it wasnt that much to begin with.

Yeah rifle in this caliber is bound to have tremendous kick ,unless they design a recoil reducing system like kriss vector sub machine gun but that too will add weight to the design,
I think this muzzle will be marginally successful ,
They should take design features from SCAR H ,and hk 417

On a second note don't you think they should have gone for a 7.62 version of the MCIWS?
I mean they could have easily added one more caliber to the design,

Maybe integrated flash suppressor too?

I was gonna say integrated flash hider, but it doesnt look quite right for that. @jhungary

They probably just gassed the system up pretty high (i.e run the ammo as "hot" as you can) to test the worst case scenarios the best you can...so yeah a solid chunky muzzle brake would help with that.

Yeah, I dont know what they're doing with it tho. MCIWS/AAR is a DRDO program, not OFB. DRDO should work with private sector for that, if they havent completely dumped it by now.

Maybe, but I am the wrong person to ask.

Looked like a normal muzzle break to me, if it is a flash hider, you will see the hole are probably bigger on the break, which allow gas to dissipate more rapidly.

Oh yeah it's quite weird , I have never seen a flash hider like this
Remember the micro insas? They tried something with that too!

Hopefully MCIWS will see service in the paramilitary forces,(we can only hope )
I am sure they will do the same to MCIWS what they did to msmc it's introduction is ten years late
Yeah I believe the production should be done by private industry ,they can ensure quality and consistency
