India’s first indigenously developed 9mm Machine Pistol

[Vidhull]

India’s first indigenous 9 mm Machine Pistol “ASMI” has been developed by a young officer from Infantry School, Mhow with assistance from Defence Research and Development’s (DRDO) Armament Research & Development Establishment (ARDE), Pune. Developed in a record time of four months by Lt Col Prasad Bansod, the weapon has the capability of firing the in-service 9 mm ammunition.

The machine pistol can fire at a range of 100 metres and is in the class of the Uzi series guns of Israel. The prototype has fired over 300 rounds in the last four months of its development.The weapon is named 'Asmi' meaning 'pride', 'self-respect' and 'hard work'.

The weapon has huge potential in armed forces as a personal weapon for heavy weapon detachments, commanders, tank and aircraft crews, drivers/dispatch riders, radio/radar operators, Closed Quarter Battle, counter-insurgency and counter-terrorism operations etc. This is also likely to find huge employability with the central and state police organisations as well as VIP protection duties and policing. The Machine Pistol is likely to have production cost under rupees 50,000 each and has potential for exports.

We can proud only on two things one is missile and another one is satellite sectors. Caz as on date the world fastest missile
brahmos is ours and another is satellite sector we r in top among advanced countries. We r now in 2021 suppose to manufacture powerful advanced machine gun that could exceeds ak 47 but still lags behind despite having lot of IIT that I don't understand yet . Advanced counties replacing robotic solders & investing more in anti missile system like russian S 400, powerful dhrones & missile technology that we need to taken care off caz future war can manage to finish off target with a single click of a button in front, so we need to move towards advanced technology and spend more time on it & it's juzz my suggestion

Yes, IIT & Techie guys should join in DRDO. All the soldiers will not have that knowledge about technology. If DRDO scientist are supporting Solider then it will be very good. Through this we can generate big revenue also. This government is doing some good things towards defence. But India is a largest Importer of Defence goods. We should reduce this in further coming years.
