The INSAS (INdian Small Arms System) is a family of infantry arms, including assault rifle and Light Machine Gun (LMG). Both of these weapons share the same basic design. A carbine was also planned, but eventually was not adopted. Development of the INSAS family reportedly commenced in India in the mid 1980s. Both assault rifle and light machine gun were adopted by the Indian armed forces in 1998. The INSAS LMG was adopted as a standard squad-level support automatic weapon. To this day it is used by the Indian armed forces, even though India MoD is looking for its replacement. It is possible that this light machine gun was exported to some countries. This weapon saw action during Kargil War (1999) and the ongoing Naxalite-Maoist insurgency in India.

The INSAS light machine gun is based on the Soviet RPK , but has a number of features from other successful designs, such as the FN FAL (gas system), HK33 (charging handle), Steyr AUG (magazine), and Galil (buttstock). It has the same basic design as the INSAS assault rifle, but comes with a longer heavy barrel, bipod, and 'full-auto' firing mode. Also this weapon has a different foregrip. A number of parts are interchangeable between the INSAS light machine gun and assault rifle.

This light machine gun is a gas operated weapon. It is chambered for a standard NATO 5.56x45 mm (.223 Remington) ammunition, opposed to Soviet 5.56x39 mm or 7.62x39 mm ammunition. Originally the INSAS weapon family was planned to be adopted in 1994. However the introduction was delayed due to design flaws and the lack of 5.56x45 mm ammunition in India. Eventually ammunition was obtained in large quantity from Israel. Otherwise the INSAS was produced without reliance on foreign components.

This weapon is capable of semi-auto and full-auto firing modes. Fire mode selector is located on the left side, above the pistol grip.

The INSAS light machine gun is fed from 30-round capacity magazines. It is also compatible with 20-round capacity magazines, developed for INSAS assault rifle. Magazines are transparent. This handy feature was borrowed from the Austrian Steyr AUG. It allows to see the number rounds left, without removing the magazine from the weapon. Magazines are designed to the M16 standard. However it appeared that these magazines tend to crack due to cold weather and can not withstand battlefield abuse.

This fire support weapon has built-in iron sights with a sighting range of up to 1 000 m. There is a mounting point for telescopic or night sights. The INSAS LMG It has an effective range of 700 m against area targets.

The baseline LMG has a solid stock. There is also a version of the INSAS LMG with a side-folding metal stock. This version is mainly intended for paratroopers and special forces. This fire support weapon has a built-in carrying handle.

However it appeared that this weapon has some reliability issues. It tends to jam at high altitudes. Also its magazines crack due to cold weather and battlefield abuse. Also the Indian armed forces want a weapon with a longer range. So currently Indian armed forces are looking for a new weapon to replace the INSAS LMG.

Variants

INSAS LMG Mk.1 is a baseline version with a solid buttstock.

INSAS LMG Mk.1A is a version with a side-folding metal stock, similar to that of the IMI Galil, rather than that of the Soviet RPD. This weapon is intended for paratroopers and special forces. It has some minor differences, such as reshaped pistol grip.

Rifles, Cartridges found missing in SAPB Battalion: CAG report
Thiruvananthapuram, Feb 12 (PTI) In a shocking
revelation, the Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) of India
has found shortage of 5.56 mm INSAS rifles and 12,061 live
cartridges in a joint verification held in the Special Armed
Police Battalion (SAPB) here.
The report on General and Social sector for the year
ending March 31, 2018, was tabled in the Kerala Assembly on
Wednesday.
The CAG report also found that anti Maoist operations at
Palakkad, Malappuram, Idukki and Wayanad suffered due to
dependence of police forces on analog communication equipment.
The state government, it said, had 'failed' to make
timely payment of spectrum charges and obtain license from the
Union government for procuring Digital Mobile Radios.
The audit found that the stock register and related
records of arms and ammunition in the SAPB were 'not properly
maintained'.
'The entries in the stock registers had many over
writings, use of white correction fluid and striking off of
entries etc.
The entries and corrections were not properly
authenticated.
Audit could not find any evidence of conduct of periodic
physical verification by higher officers from the records
available at SAPB', the report said.
A joint verification was conducted on October 16, 2018 to
test check, including physical verification, in the battalion
to assess whether physical stock of arms and ammunitions
matched with the stock registers and whether the system of
accounting of arms and ammunitions was 'robust and reliable'.
The verification conducted in the Bell-of-Arms of SAPB,
along with the Assistant Commandant, revealed shortage of 25
numbers of 5.56 mm INSAS rifles and 12,061 live cartridges.
While the police department was aware of the shortage in
ammunition, it 'attempted to cover up' the shortfall instead
of identifying and taking action against the culprits
responsible for the loss of ammunition, the report said.
It was also found that the shortage of 250 numbers of 9 mm
Drill Cartridges was sought to be covered up by replacing the
same with 250 dummy cartridges.
There was no document on record to show how these dummy
cartridges came into the possession of the SAPB and how these
were taken into stock.
The report recommended that in view of the serious
security implications, Government should take urgent steps to
trace the missing cartridges and rule out the loss of rifles.
It suggested that similar stock taking of arms and
ammunition be undertaken in all battalions and police
stations, including Police Chief Stores immediately.
The report also came down on the state police Chief and
said the official violated the MPF (Modernisation of Police
Force) scheme guidelines, which prohibits procurement of
vehicles for VIP/VVIP security utilising the MOPF funds.
The police department procured two bullet resistant
vehicles to ensure security of VIPs, VVIPs and Z+ category
visitors to Kerala at a total cost of Rs 1.10 crore without
inviting tenders as required under the Stores Purchase Manual.
The objective of providing increased mobility to the
police forces as envisaged under the MOPF scheme would have
been achieved had the police department procured bullet
proof/mine proof vehicles for deployment in naxal infested
areas rather than acquiring bullet proof cars for VIP
security, the report said.
The state police chief diverted Rs 2.81 crore meant for
construction of Upper subordinate staff quarters for
construction of villas for SPC/ADGPs, it said. PTI UD APR
