India was given freedom from British rule in 1947. At that time the standing army had strength of about 400, 000. This was down from a peak of about 2. 5 million during the second world war. The Indian army at that time was equipped with the. 303 Enfield rifle. This was a bolt action rifle but very versatile and efficient. However it was weapon of a bygone age.
The pacifist policies of Nehru and the servility of the General Staff resulted in the fact that this main weapon for the infantry soldier was not upgraded for 15 long years. When the Chinese army struck across the northern borders in 1962 the Indian soldier equipped with the obsolete. 303 was greatly handicapped.
The end of the India China war saw the dawning of reality on the political leadership which now gave the green signal for the up gradation of the basic rifle for the infantry soldier. A start was made through the government owned ordinance factories and they started manufacturing the latest weapons. These were subsequently made available to the Indian army.
The ordinance factories presently manufacture integrated small arms weaponry often referred to as INSAS (Indian Small Arms System). This entire family consists of an assault rifle, a light machine gun and a carbine. The nodal point for the manufacture of these light arms is at the Indian ordinance factory at Ishapore in West Bengal.
The infantry regiments of the Indian Army are now equipped with this assault rifle. This rifle has nothing original about it and is based on the AK 47 Kalashnikov. The Indian ordinance factories have however incorporated some changes in the mechanism of the weapon and for this purpose they have relied on the German HK G3 rifle and the FN Fall rifle (Fusil Automatique Leger - Light Automatic Rifle). The FN Fall rifle is a very famous weapon of German origin.
However the weapons and guns manufactured in India do not match the quality control of their counterparts in the western world. In fact reports suggest that the Indian made rifle is prone to jamming at sub zero temperatures like in the Siachan Glacier where the Indian Army faces the Islmic state of Pakistan and Ladakh where they are countering the Chinese army. The weapon also has a loud decibel effect that is not conducive for an infantry soldier who is into combat. The weapons which are marketed by the Ordinance factories are also costlier as compared to their western counterparts. The Indian made rifles are priced at $ 360 cwhich compares unfavourably with the continental European rifles that carry a price tag of about $100.
The standard assault rifle is a semi automatic with a three round burst. The Indian ordinance factories also churn out the fully automatic assault rifle often referred to as INSAS Excalibur mark I. The base of this weapon is the AK 74. This weapon is also not of any original design and is based on its European contemporaries.
The latest models have shown considerable improvement in finish and performance. The effectiveness of the Indian Army has however been greatly enhanced with the induction of these rifles. The Special Forces which use the Excalibur have the fully auto and semi auto modes. India is also importing rifle from Israel for the Special Forces-the tavor Tar 21.
Overall the Indian made assault rifles are just about average standard. That could be the reason that the Indian made weapons are finding very few buyers in the international market. Better quality control may be the trick to enter the world arms market.
