RE Cheese
Thanks for an informative and detailed reply. I propose to become the third shareholder in the small arms factory to be opened by lemontree, with you as the MD, Chairman and the chief engineeer.
Now for the sake of clarificaition, I was not saying that INSAS in service should be modified but that the design should be modified/upgraded for the next follow on series, using the experience as far as possible from INSAS. The development will add to the knowledge base of the nation.
I think army has already proposed adopting a new design by calling it a carbine. As it is asking for a plastic body, I suppose G-36 will automatically become a front runner (unless IA decides that its concepts are old and even a bullpup is a good idea)
The point that is not clear to me is whether INSAS is a good design badly executed which needs better manufacturing discipline or it is a shody design altogether or technology has moved on and we need to follow suit?
