Which one among the following statements with respect to INSAS Rifle is not correct ?

Explanation

The INSAS (Indian Small Arms System) rifle is the standard infantry weapon of the Indian Armed Forces. According to the official specifications provided by the manufacturer (formerly Ordnance Factory Board, now Munitions India Limited), the cyclic rate of fire for the 5.56 mm INSAS rifle is 600 to 650 rounds per minute. Therefore, statement A is incorrect as it states the rate is 800 rounds/minute.

The other statements are factually correct based on the weapon's technical manual:

  • Length: The rifle measures 960 mm without the bayonet and 1110 mm when the bayonet is fixed.
  • Type of Fire: To ensure better control and ammunition discipline, the rifle is designed with two firing modes: Single Shot and 3-Round Burst (TRB).
  • Grenade Range: The rifle is capable of firing rifle grenades with an effective range of 200 metres.
