Posed photo of Indian Navy with a 1A machine carbine. Zooming in it can be seen that it is an OFT made in 1972 with a JJ prefix serial number. Notice the sling is a piece of paracord.



Two more photos of Indian forces with their 1A guns. Notice the use of Sten slings with pigtail hooks.

You'd think that if they were going to the trouble to take a posed photo they would at least stick a mag on the gun. Or do they think that the people looking at the photo are too stupid to realise that there's no mag?

That's almost the least of the issues with the individual. Everything is wrong there.
