What's the update? The scope? I heard that they are making a new gun.

You think thats what its going to look like? I have no clue..

This is the only think I got on the F-INSAS.

I have no idea what it's going to look like. All I've seen so far are a few measly "upgrades". Just the very basic stuff. Kevlar helmets and body armour. Haven't seen anything new about a new rifle.

I wish that they would just hurry up and get on with it.

This is not from DRDO or anything related to F-INSAS. This is just presentation made by some private company.

They need to get rid of the yellow plastics on the INSAS. There are plenty of composites available on the market.

Does the INSAS look that similar to the AK? I mean that is clearly a AK variant with rails and a scope slapped on.

Thats an ak not INSAS.

Do you mean orange plastic?

Yep my mistake.

Yes.

I did an indepth post about the INSAS a while back and the yellow/orange plastic furniture was a major complaint by the troops.

Thats what I just said.......

Im not trying to be a smartass but how can you guys call that yellow or orange. I always thought of it as light brown. Am I colourblind?

 

[DESERT FIGHTER]

No offence but id prefer an AK or G3 over Insas anytime..... thts just a sub standard hybrid of ak-g3 tht cant even fire in auto mode.

That thread, was that from a North East Indian's blog? There was a review of the Insas that looks similar to that.

It was by him, but cant find his review..

And from the forum and site called indiansforguns..

And yes, it should be replace. They are trying to build another rifle right know.
