It's an INSAS- basically a 5.56 AKM

It's known as the INSAS. Search "Indian INSAS" and you'll find a lot of information about it out there.

OOPS, you beat me to it!

That helps and makes it look a lot more like an AKM with a slightly different snout.

Anybody heard about these in the states? I know all the talk about them being bad and all I just like military rifles in general.

Now I kinda want one.

No you don't. Do some research on them and you'll change your mind. They ARE nifty looking though.

Indian small arms procurement - and defense procurement in general - beats any soap opera for sheer awesomeness. The corruption, backstabbing, crisis etc. is fantastic to watch.

Only place in the world that tried to copy the AK, improve it, and botch the execution. The resulting INSAS is horrific. The Indian attempts at a light fighter aircraft aka F-16, and a light helicopter, have also been mixed.

They did buy a whole bunch of Sig 716 308 rifles recently - 70k of them - and have active AKM production lines. So they use x39, 5.56, 308, 54R, and 303 calibers regularly!

Glock. Or if you check w/ MSP might be a banned copy of an MP5.
