Dear Editor,
I am a new member on the net. I am interested in knowing more about a new rifle
designed by Indian scientists under the Indian small arms program for the India
n army and possible export. All I know is that it is of 5.56mm calibre, uses
lightweight materials in its construction, and fires in bursts of 5 rounds
in auto. A lighter paratroop/commando version with folding stock is
said to exist. I would appreciate any info you could post about this.

PS: I believe the program is called INSAS - Indian small arms system.
