About Insas

The INSAS (Indian Small Arms System) is a series of 5.56×45mm NATO Assault Rifle. Designed in mid-1980s, when the Indian Army decided to gradually phase out the locally-produced L1A1 Rifles from service.

INSAS rifles' mechanism is based on the AKM's gas-operated rotating bolt mechanism, and also featuring a FAL-like gas regulator. Hence their appearance resembles an AK and FAL hybrid.

This tag currently also applies to its longer, Light Machine Gun variant.
