What is it?

Bastardized uzi?

Looks an awful lot like an MP7 to me. Given India's history of domestically producing HK-licensed small arms it's little surprise they engineered something similar.

looks like airsoft!

Looks like 7.62x25 bullpup AK bastard to me.

With the competence of Indian firearms industry, it will be another 10 years before this thing will work!

I'm intrigued. This is reminiscent of how the Soviets took the 7.62x54mm cartridge and shortened it to 7.62x39 for the tanker Kalashnikov's "submachine gun". Though shortly after that became the Russian standard rifle caliber, in which case I don't see that happening with the Indian MSMC.

I must say I'm a fan of the 5.56mm. Not the best caliber, but it gets the job done. And to have a pistol cartridge in the same caliber would be great! A pistol cartridge with rifle characteristics definitely has it's advantages. Although I'm a big advocate of the 10x25mm pistol cartridge. Would love to see a SMG/subgun chambered in that.

Never heard of the Ishapore FALs?

and the INSAS?

Given the INSAS debacle, I have to agree. The only country ever to make a Kalashnikov derivative action that was not reliable. I understand they are trashing it and buying TAVORs from Israel instead.

WOW! You been living under a rock your entire life?

India has been making guns for centuries.

 

[de-mix]

They could have released that thirty years ago..

 

[Glenfilthie]

Yup. That thing looks shoddy even over the internet. The perfect gift for the gun-nut you loathe.

They don't have a phone, that's probably why. On the upside they sleep under their table so they're always there to talk shop if you drop by.

And after 10 years they will call it a \"success\" and buy a Russian or other foreign weapon instead, just like with their Arjun tank disaster.

Makes my Norinco's look good......
