OFB belt-fed 7.62X51 LMG

- Опубліковано 10 вер 2024
- The OFB-ARDE designed belt-fed LMG has started development trials and will be ready for user trials sometime next year. It is a replacement for the INSAS and the 1B LMG and will compete for the Indian army's global tender for LMGs.
It looks a lot like an M240 Bravo. It looks good India! Respect from Canada
Its still inside the godown....not in use....why?

@Arya rpd?? Noo
Now everyone knows the reason behind canceling the LMG tender by MOD. A big thumbs up to the OFB & DRDO. Complete this project as soon as possible.👍
Pushpendra Rai India is buying LMG from Israel
army will never accept this as LMG even the BrEn LMG from WW2 weighed 9 Kg modern LMGs such as Neveg (7.6Kg) or SAW(7.5Kg) or PKM (7.5Kg) weigh way less than this and PKM fires a slightly heavier round than this. This is essentially an attempt at reducing the weight of FN Mag which OFB already produce under licence for MMG role
Chinmay great no its bcuz army is corrupted
Abhishek Mallik MGTOW or because army doesn't want to trust the 3rd grade weapons that DRDO makes and that cost lives like in Kargil where INSAS jammed at every possible opportunity
Chinmay great no weapon is 100 percent perfect, and its hell lot better than using insas, i bet the excalibur with 7.62 x 51 mm round is perfect, its just needs strong man to handle the recoil, btw in war you carry very heavy load, so it will smoothen the recoil, trust physics
My mouth is watering for what the final version for this gun is going to be like. Hope to see this gun in Call of Duty like the MSMC/JVPC *:P*
I don't know it's a coincidence or anything else but in MODI regime there's a trail of good news from our defense industries. This happens when a government start believing in indigenous efforts & talent. Most of our previous governments are corrupt and commission lover. This government is serious about indigenous solutions of our defense problems and that's a good thing.
Annoying Guy baby steps brother
this is no good news it is just a weight reduction attempt at the FN Mag which OFB produces under license for MMG role and this weighs 9 kgs whereas modern LMGs usually weigh 7.5-8kgs
Chinmay great waaaat? 1 kg heavy hoga?? Baap re
Lol seriously? Didn't u hear about brahmos ,INS Vikrant ,sukhoi ,Arjun tanks pinaka, etc?
In last five years what domestic indigenous solutions have been developed ?
I can foresee your channel becoming the best indian defense channel.. I am sure your videos will truly act as a morale booster for the ofb and arde guys and expose the paid media and arms lobby working for foreign companies... Thanking you for such nice videos
i a I am a big defence enthusiast and this is in my top 3 youtube channels related to Indian defence.
Other two are "abhishek Shukla" and "Review master Vikrant".Abhishek Shukla provides in-depth analysis of current topics related to Indian defence while Review Master Vikrant provides daily defence news.(He uploads daily).I check these three channels frequently whenever I am on UA-cam.
Mildly Offensive Memes now I don't find your comment on Abhishek Shukla channel and Review Master Vikrant?
@@NitinSharma-yo3xu kase ho nitin🙃
Where he is now.. why no more uploads...!
He got actual job in India today
most badass gun by ofb so far!!! kudos!
Gun is little heavy, 9kg gun + 2.5kg 💯 round belt combine weight is 11.5(approximate). IWI negev lmg weight is around 7.9 kg. OFB & DRDO should improve the gun with further weight reduction.
Pushpendra Rai iwi negev is a 5.56x45 lmg this lmg use 7.62x51 round which justify increased weight.
iwi negev with 7.62 x51 round weight without magazine is 7.8 or 7.9 kg which is equivalent 8 kg which is just one kg less than drdo rifle.
SHUBHAM SHARMA bro negev is designed for both 5.56*45 & 7.62*51 NATO rounds.
Weight of variant of negev a/c to Wikipedia
5.56mm - 7.6 kg
7.62 mm- 7.9 kg.
Pushpendra Rai 7.9kg is the weight of weapon only without bullets or magazine while ofb lmg wieghs 9 kg . 1.1 kg for an lmg hardly matters unless u are using m27 or insas type lmg.
but this lmg is still prototype final version might have less weight.
SHUBHAM SHARMA yes u r right in general way but in war type situation even a half kg weight is much important for infantry soldiers. 1kg is equal to 50 rounds of 7.62*51mm rounds.
Well, they are giving it a new buttock, oh pardon me, butt stock. Should bring down the weight by a hair.
@Sandeep Unnithan - Waiting for Ghatak rifle full review!
any update on this gun . its almost 2 years now...
India bought Negev 7 at 5,34,000 per piece.Korean K-12 is in the line also,this version must be improvised,by weight reduction and recoil.But I saw this with many special forces.At LAC also.
I hope ofb develops a backpack ammunition pouch which can carry like 400-500 rounds or more if the soldier can carry...no need of reloads
They should bring in private companies like Bharat Forge. They have been able to reduce the weight of the "indian field gun" from 4 tons to just 800 KGs. They could reduce the weight of this gun even further.
Abhijeet Dolai they can reduce the weight a little bit but such a large weight reduction will not be possible here. they did huge weight reduction in field gun but they had to redesign the whole gun. here the lmg is not going to be redesigned.
Also love your videos, this were long overdue. an Indian defense and weapons channel
sir, is it possible to develop the same gun for 556mm. with long and short barrels.
It was a short video considering how long we had to wait. BTW great to see such developments. Great job Mr Unnithan.
Everyone has this confusion that ofb 7.62mmg and M240, both are same..
FN Mag 58 came with wooden butt so with USA modifications using polymer butt and picatiny rail it became M240B, 7.62 mmg came into existence after tot with OFB removing the wooden butt and adding 81mm mortar sight 102B on it.
thnx sandeep i waiting for many months keep going you are best
Why no more new uploads from you? Why stopped?
This is what I was hoping Indian army should be given. The box magazine has limited bullets which is a disadvantage for machine gun.
a box magazine or drum is way faster to reload than a belt fed. also this is way heavier than normal weight of LMGs
sir your channel is best Indian defence channel in India 😍😍😍😍😍😘😘😘😘
would love a more detailed video featuring the LMG.
Thing is it's not an LMG, it's a GPMG/MMG lol
Nice man!!!!!!
Nice and informative video, thanks for uploading. nice to have Indian gun channel, having made in India Gun of comparable quality save lots of foreign currency which can be used for further research and development.
We miss ur videos. Please be active again
I really enjoyed your videos. Very informative and reliable information. Why aren't you making videos anymore 🥺🥺
We should give L&T,DRDO or SSS defence for Negev type LMG
9kgs would be fine for standard infantry para and folding stock versions would be shredded of weight upto 1to 1.5 kg and even the barrel would be redesigned and most importantly its a 7.62 (almost all of lmgs are only 5.56). The only thing to work out hard would be the accuracy and reliability otherwise it would be a phenomenal game changer good going india jai ho!!
saddam hussain Yes. Although PKM is still the supreme champion on that at 7.5 kg. Btw, it's not 5.62, but 5.56
Jagannath Barman yup bro corrected 😅.. Look at the power there nearly 1000 rounds of raining brass would rip apart almost anything of its contemporary armor.. Hell of gun, the main challange is reliability and accuracy, but really imagining 7.62 lmg with superb rate of fire is euphoric
saddam hussain are u Indian ?
h v. Gi haan main hindustani hun.
i dont understand the use of 7.62 because lmgs are used for suppressive fire so 5.56 works as good as 7.62.
almost all militaries in past used 7.62 beltfeed lmgs (fn mag=m240) then they upgraded them self to 5.56(fn minimi=m249) because they realised that in suppresive fire cartridge size doesn't matter then they realised that firing blindly with
machine results in huge wastage of amo so they start shifting towards magazine based low rate of fire but higher accuracy lmg (m27 iar).
i don't get why we are going in reverse direction we are already using a magzine fed high accuracy lmg (insas lmg) ,if we ignore the media hype of 7.62x51 then changing from 5.56x45 to 7.62x51 won't give u much advantage in lmg it will only increase problem in logistics ,shifting from insas lmg to drdo lmg would result in atleast 10 kg increase in combat load with reduced ammo carrying ability. 5.56x45 fullfill all need upto 500-600 meter for anything further they can use 7.62x51 dmr's and anti material rifles.
even Russian who invented 7.62x39 cartridge shifted to 5.45x39 cartridge so why indian army want to go in reverse i dont understand.
love u sir. going great please keep on bringing such stuff. If ever possible then please make a documentary on also how production in IOF takes place. By the way if u can confirm. I believe that recently IOF has added a whole new rage of 155mm artillery shells/rounds to their products range, is this true.
What does the act say? If I recall it correctly, doesn't the arms act state that the barrel needs to be at least 20 inches long?
This is strange, going from box fed LMG to belt fed, seems like a step back. IWI Negev sounds like the way to go, with both box as well as belt fed loading options. Really can't understand why we are not adopting it for the entire panorama of forces, when we are already using it for our special forces. or developing a similar weapon.
Why u don't upload anymore ?
Sandeep its been a year you uploaded a video. Please make some more.I love your videos,hope you will return soon.
Sir bohot achcha, aisa video aur banate rahiye, aisa channel ki bihot jarurat thi
Awesome!!!!!
Its been 4 years no new video my question is why ?
Please make a vedio on insas 1c and ghatak.
Again thanks a lot for showing Indian made weapons which are rarely available.I found 2 observation,first why all the Indian made new guns are not completely straight and tilted a bit towards down.second the butt of this rifle need improvement. I hope this will be able to impress the army as they don't have any option left as similar gun contract has been cancelled by mod due to single vendor sitution(only israli gun cleared the trails).
Prashant Gupta why would u need a foldable butt in an lmg?
and i don't get what u mean by tilt.
Did I say we need foldable butt ? I said said the butt argonomics needs to be improved a bit.also just see some of the pics of insas and this rifle . They are not straight and bit tilted towards down. I could be wrong but I observed this in some of the insas rifles also.just check the guy griping the gun in standing position at 3.03
Prashant Gupta may be u are right that's why they are asking army for feedback
Hi Sandeep. When are you going to come up with a video on MCIWS?
That project is scrapped
Chinmay great like every other projects😂
Wow indigenously made lmg
Video on multi caliber individual weaponry system (mciws)
project scrapped
What's the deal with that...what i can only describe as a gas whistle when the weapon opens up in fully automatic fire? Is that an artifact of the recording, or does the gun really whistle like that?
rewtuser it is the sound of bullet and not the gun. the sound was actually a sonic Boom which happened due to the bullet achieving supersonic speed.
This one seems to have an downward shell ejection like the bren gun.so,it won't suit to be used on vehicles because the empty shells will be dropping inside the vehicle so,that it could cause more problems and the second thing it seems to be bigger than normal LMG so that it can't be easily mobilized.
Waiting for your video for so long, Does JVPC get any customers??
SOUMENDU ROY the soldier doing field trial has found it best replacement for carbine for Indian army . I have seen the pic of page of his diary.

Excellent, is it possible to attach magazines of 30 rounds.
Sir, What is the difference between machine gun and assault rifle..??
Nice I was waiting for it.
Trichy assoult rifle ka video banavo
Thats a Refurbished Kalashnikov
If PKM and IOF Belt fed machine guns weighs about the same, then why the Indian army is evaluating Bulgarian Arsenal PKM ?
(Bulgarian PKM fires the 7.62mm NATO cartridge.)
Add more video of this machine gun.
Sandeep, you were to upload new videos.
Is it really necessary to have a fixed stock? Can't it be fitted with an AR style adaptable stock? I love FN MAG and all of its variants, and this looks really promising. M240b has good reputation as a sniper-rifle worthy gun, and the single shot function will utilise that will good effect.
Btw, DRDO should start working on Carbon Fibre barrels. I assure you, that is the next big thing in firearms industry.
ARDE needs Indian Army to start accepting these current designs, so that DRDO can ask for more funds for further development from the MoD. If all goes well, we might see carbon-fiber barrels in a future upgrade of this next generation of firearms. Love to imagine what such a barrel will feel like on the already superior JVPC.
My hope will never die ;)
Death Parade the should have introduced bolt release mechanism in the jvpc.
@death parade one thing that DRDO is not short of is funds
what is going to happen with insas lmg ? i really liked it good accuracy with long range and less reliability problems than rifle variant of insas.
No matter how good they be, the ones in charge of purchase will strongly pitch for foreign vendors who will stack the former's pocket with cash and in kind. Corruption is the reason why even good indigenous weapon systems are dumped. INSAS may be a disaster, but not every system made after that is an "INSAS". Hope army will give these weapons a fair chance. Good luck.
Sir what about the new ofb 7.62*51 rifle...?
Guys look at this !..feel proud atleast OFB is producing a squad automatic weapon..which has got a robust looks..I feel any weapon which goes into battle should be robust by make..a weapon made of synthetic polymer can never take the place a a milled steel body weapon...look at INSAS rifle in order to reduce weight they replaced metallic mags with plastic mags, what happend is catostropic in kargil theatre..mags just cracked !..always it better to have a battle rifle which can serve for atleast 50 years...just like good old Lee Enfield .303
Make in India: for make India great again.
Need large scale production.
Sir bullet box ko add Kar skte hai Kya machine guns ke under
Hi Sandeep sir, why there is bad laws in india which are restricting us to use guns and now days even air rifles are beyond reachable, why our government want us to stay away from guns as arms market is no 1 in whole world but in india we can't even handle airguns freely....??????? Please answers....
Actually they r British laws
Sir what's ur opinion on India developing a 7.62 4 barrel Gatling guns and 12.7 mm as well. For army.
If we could work on bren which is produced in India and modifying,and reducing its weight and instead of magazine above the gun .if we can make below we make a steel nikel or chrome alloy barrel we can save billion s of rupees
why are u not modifing the ofb Bren 7.62 mm lmg in to a belt fed.It has excellent reliability and have a lot of feature to convert it in to belt fed lmg.Your copied m240 locking mechanism is not cost effective require a lot of machining then Bren lmg .To convert the Bren lmg into belt use vz59 mmg feeding mechanism .very less effort require to convert with existing lmg receiver.old all lmg can be converted to belt fed
sir is the barrel interchangeable like FM MAG?
Rahul Mishra obviously its a mandatory element
For sustained fire in field conditions, barrel needs to be changed frequently as it overheats. A modular interchangeable barrel is a *fundamental* requirement.
1:50
Rahul Mishra yes
Ofc it's interchangable. It's something that most GPMGs can't miss (count the Russian PKP Pecheneg out).
how did u get access to all these weapons....are u an army officer?????
Please tell us about the status of MCIWS AND THUMS UP FOR THIS LMG THANKS
Your all videos r greate wauting for your next video please upload sir i am your loyal subscriber
Seems to be heavy payload,
It's looks like C6 GPMG, well done
Both the C6 and the MMG are just liscenced FN MAGs from Canada and India respectively.
hi can you make a guide for purchasing legal weapons for self defense? factors like where to buy and what to know or even prices are something which are not easily found on net.
Waiting for final version of this gun to be used as a squad automatic weapon
It's a combination of fn mag and mg121
Sir can you make video for ghatak and insas m1c new assult rifles sir please
Where are you sir, we are missing your videos very much. Please sir upload new videos of new indigenous weapons. Your report on SSBN program is very impressive and informative.
Army needs this kind of weapon
Will it have an ammo box or an assault drum?
most probably it will have neither cause army will not accept it, it is too heavy
Ammo box
@@chinmaygreat7132 he say the but stock will redesine and weight will reduce
Already in service
Pls come back
hey bro good work , please need a lots of reviews of indian weapon systems specially small arms , thanks
Sir,what's the status of the jvpc
what's that sssss... sound while firing? Haven't hear this sound with lmg videos.
Hi Sandeep, any update on it.
when did India stop making the 1B ? and isnt the 1B the most accurate LMG, more accuate then the fn mag?
1B is magazine fed outdated weapon
Thanks Sandeep sir for this video.
It looks like FN MAG,and little bit like Slr, but a good show and good effort.
P
U know Indian Army (both former days and now) still put British liscenced guns from FN Herstal in service.
For the FN MAG ur saying, it can be either a British L7 or an MMG (Indian ver of the L7) I think.
this is user friendly???
Very good bro
It is like western Light machine guns like M249 SAW and M240 Bravo even M60 General Purpouse machine gun which I saw on you tube.
Sandeep please review on indian made SSS viper gun...😎
Sir if it’s possible can you make video on indian Army MRE
We don't have one
vignesh anand I asked some Army personal they said that there are mre’s in the army
LAZY PATRIOT we don't have a standard issue mre
I asked many serving officers in the infantry
we have some form of MRE but it is rarely issued
Guys please search new USA m60e6 machine gun having weight 9.27 kg and using 7.62×51 mm round. Better than this ofb lmg because m60e6 size is compact. Please search on UA-cam m60e6 machine gun.
now we are independent in defence industry n need not to sell our products to rest of the world. Thats why we are not promoting them on social media properly.
