I used to send the dirtiest ammo (including steel cased) through my HK rifle and never had issues. Did this ammo cause the same issue with their AKs and or the INSAS? If those rifles can handle their locally produced ammo, then why can't the SIG ?
But this isn't really the worst part of this story. The part where the Indian Army blows my mind, is that they didn't order any optics with this rifle. They decided from the start to use frekkin iron sights on these things (why?!) Quote:
"But above all, the rifles lacked optical day, night, holographic and even basic LED-powered reflex ‘red-dot’ sights as the MoD, under IA advisement had, out of pecuniary considerations, decided against acquiring these critical auxiliary add-ons"
So let me get this straight.... the Indian Army itself advised the MoD, not to to buy the optics, which are the most important add-on for any rifle?! This is incompetence on a whole other level... Why would you spend millions acquiring a thing, if you can't spend a few more millions to make it actually useful? You might as well not have spent anything in the first place!
