Explanation
Based on technical specifications of these firearms:
- Statement 1 is correct: The AK-47 (Avtomat Kalashnikova) is designed to chamber the 7.62 × 39 mm cartridge.
- Statement 2 is correct: The INSAS (Indian Small Arms System) rifle, developed by DRDO, uses the 5.56 × 45 mm NATO standard ammunition.
- Statement 3 is incorrect: The INSAS rifle is generally longer (approximately 960 mm) compared to the AK-47 (approximately 880 mm).
