It looks nice. And just as I went in the opposite direction, and got the little bitty Walther PPS in the anemic 9mm. That was as small as I wanted to go with a package that doesn't give me much of an excuse to leave it at home.
As far as the poster boy's picture upstream, he looks totally occupied with dumping his backpack, and does not yet have a mag in his weapon. He should have been low-hanging fruit for anybody with a functional weapon.
I've heard stories that the "armed" cops lacked ammo for their revolvers and SMLEs. One report called them "100 year old rifles". Probably new-manufacture Indian rifles in 7.62mm NATO. Not too shabby, and no reason to hide behind the civilians you're paid to protect.
In socialist countries, the cops are permitted weapons denied to the masses, with the idea that they are equipped and trained to stick their necks out to protect the sheeple, who are important sources of revenue to the state. Dead men can still vote, but they won't be paying any taxes.
I assume the BGs were eventually killed by the elite military. I doubt a single cop let off even one round in the whole three days. But at least they know that not only are their worthless hides still safe, but so are their jobs and pensions.
India needs something like the 9-11 commission here to dump the blame on a scapegoat, and whitewash their own roles. Then they would be ready for another raise, and maybe even an armed driver for their government cars.
That poster boys weapon IS loaded. Tape on mags is white and caught in reflection of light on the floor behind him. Look close and at other pics. He had mags taped “jungle clip” mode with white tape.
