![]() The JVPC was earlier cleared user trials by CAPF. The final user trials were conducted at the sub-zero cold desert of Ladakh. The JVPC was subjected to accuracy and reliability test at extreme temperature conditions of India. The user trials by Indian Army commenced in 2016 and completed by 2021. Also in this time period an exigency for a carbine has arisen. The prototypes of JVPC was offered to the Army for user trials in 2013. The redesigned MSMC was now redesignated as Joint Venture Protective Carbine or JVPC. In 2010, DRDO's ARDE lab and OFB collaborated to iron out the problems with the MSMC design. Both of the carbines failed to meet the requirement set by the Army. The prototypes underwent a series of trials – first in 2006, then in late 2007 and finally in early 2009. ![]() īoth carbines were designed to chamber much lighter 5.56×30mm MINSAS cartridge. In response to the new GSQR, both OFB and ARDE independently developed two carbines – Amogh carbine and MSMC respectively. In 2002, the Army has issued a General Staff Qualitative Requirement (GSQR) for a new submachine carbine with revised specification. The INSAS based carbine was designed to chamber the same 5.56×45mm NATO cartridge used in the INSAS assault rifle and the LMG, hence it had a higher recoil than a carbine of its size should normally have. An INSAS based carbine said to have been developed in early 2000s, but was rejected. ![]() The development of a carbine was one of the objectives of the late 1980's Indian Small Arms System (INSAS) programme, which developed the INSAS assault rifle. The JVPC already cleared user trials conducted by Ministry of Home Affairs and is currently being procured for the Central Armed Police Forces (CAPF) and other state police forces in the country. The weapon's accuracy and reliability were tested in extreme hot weather and high-altitude winter conditions, by the Army's user trials. The JVPC cleared the final phase of user trials by the Indian Army. Its trials were commenced in 2016 and completed in 2021. The development of the JVPC began in 2010, being an offshoot of the INSAS small arms program. It was intended as a replacement for the 9mm Sterling submachine gun in service with the Indian Armed Forces. It was designed by the Armament Research and Development Establishment of the Defence Research and Development Organisation, and manufactured by Advanced Weapons and Equipment India Limited and by Kalyani Strategic Systems Limited. The Joint Venture Protective Carbine ( JVPC), also known as Modern Sub Machine Carbine ( MSMC) until 2014, is a gas-operated, magazine-fed, select fire carbine designed to chamber the 5.56×30mm MINSAS cartridge.

However, building LEGO models (or MOCs as AFOLs such as myself like to call them) that represent real skyscrapers with a high degree of accuracy involves much more than just stacking bricks. After all, what kid playing with LEGO hasn’t stacked these bricks as high as they could to try to create their own skyscrapers ? Using LEGO (the colorful plastic bricks that we all know and love) to build models of skyscrapers (which are among the pinnacles of human achievement – quite literally!) may seem like a no-brainer. ![]() Different versions of Empire State Building. ![]()
