It's kinda insane to use a 9mm subgun at areas like these with long sight lines. Those 5.56x45 carbines cannot come soon enough!

Their AK mod seems to have changed a bit:
Front end of the M72 with an angled grip. There is a gas valve up front. That valve would allow the user to switch to the appropriate setting when running a muzzle device (suppressors, flash hiders, muzzle brakes etc.):
G-72 SMG:
The barrel looks to be around 6.5+ inches long. For comparison, ARDE's Asmi SMG has a 7.2-inch barrel.
2nd public appearance of the pistol. Still no info on this:
They were also developing a 6.8 mm LMG. No updates on that yet.
SSS Defence at International Police Expo in Delhi:
Another angle of the recently unveiled suppressed @sssdefence 0.300 AAC Blackout “Raptor” Rifle, primarily intended for use by Special Forces. This is most likely the first weapon in India chambered for the .300 AAC Round.
The significance of .300BLK for suppressed, short-barreled weapons cannot be overstated. I'm pleasantly surprised that SSSD managed to crack this segment so soon! I had hoped to see the NSG replace their SG 553 SBs with a .300 Blackout rifle for a long time...now it seems there's a domestic option for it!
I have so many questions regarding this gun. This gun probably runs on a short-stroke piston mechanism like the M72.
The barrel looks like a ~10-inch barrel. If I remember correctly the .300 BLK round was optimized for short barrels, achieving a complete burnout by ~9 inches. So why not go even shorter? If we had some specs, we could compare it with the SiG MCX RATTLER.
The MCX comes with a 5.5-inch barrel. The M72, like most ARs have the buffer tube that goes into the buttstock. So, while extendable stocks are a given on this design, foldable stocks aren't an option. So theoretically it cannot be as short as the MCX.
.300 BLK round was optimized for suppressors. Now SSSD designs/makes their own suppressors. How do those compare with foreign brands?
At the speed these guys are iterating, I won't be surprised if they manage to implement a dual-recoil spring or similar mechanism (like on MCX) which removes the need for a buffer tube altogether and allows for folding stocks.
A video of the SSS Defence 0.338 Lapua Magnum Suppressor in action with the Sako TRG-42 Sniper Rifle of the Indian Army. Good to see Indian firms supplying critical equipment to the forces.
