Sniper Rifles Used by Indian Army And Other Armed Forces

Snipers, mostly have a company-level support role (2-3 snipers per 120 men) in the modern Indian Army. Their current weapon of choice is the Russian made 7.62mm Dragunov Sniper Rifle. In our list below, there are some sniper rifles used by Indian Armed forces.

Heckler & Koch HK MP5

 

Heckler & Koch HK MP5SD

The Heckler & Koch MP5 is a 9mm submachine gun of German design, developed in the 1960s by Heckler & Koch. There are over 100 variants of the MP5, including a semi-automatic version. The original working model was then known as the "HK54" to which this eventually became the "MP5A1" mark.

The MP5 is one of the most widely used submachine guns in the world, having been adopted by 40 nations and numerous military,  intelligence, and security organizations.

Dragunov Sniper Rifle

The Dragunov SVD sniper rifle is an automatic rifle based on the Kalashnikov rifle series. The weapon system was the standard sniper rifle issued to the Red Army and most Warsaw Pact nations during the cold war.

The SVD utilizes the heavy and hard-hitting 7.62mm round, with sighting accomplished through a removable scope (designated as the PSO-1). Unlike the Kalashnikov rifles it copies, the SVD actually uses a lower-recoil system so as not to spoil the accuracy of a given shot. The rifle system as a whole is quite long (nearly 50 inches) and features a fixed stock. The Dragunov SVD is still a favorite of snipers in former satellite states such as Iraq, where it is being used in guerilla warfare. It has proven quite easy to fire (the low recoil system mentioned earlier makes it so) and is as accurate as the shooter is trained to be.

FN P90 Submachine Gun

The Fabrique Nationale FN P90 is a "personal defense weapon" designed and manufactured by FN Herstal in Belgium. Created in response to NATO requests for a replacement for 9×19mm Parabellum firearms, the P90 was designed as a compact but powerful firearm for vehicle crews, operators of crew-served weapons, support personnel, special forces and counter-terrorist groups.

As with many other current, and emerging automatic weapon types, the P90 features "bullpup" configuration in which the action is concentrated to the rear of the design, allowing a full-length barrel to be retained in a more compact package. The weapon showcases an oversized stock and is given an integrated pistol grip and carrying handle. Due to its compact footprint, the P90 is an ideal weapon form second-line forces not requiring the function of a full-length assault rife.
