The 2A1 rifle was first tried and tested during the Indo-Pakistan War of 1965. This was the standard designated rifle for the Indian Army during that era. The feed system of this rifle is a box magazine which could chamber 10 to 12 rounds of 7.62\u00d751mm cartridges. The rifle had an effective range of 800 meters with an overall muzzle velocity of 790 meters per second. It had an option of firing one shot which required the shooter to cock the bolt by pulling and ejecting the empty case and subsequently putting a new round in the chamber.<\/p>\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cThe Ishapore 2A1 rifle was considered the best firearm during it&#8217;s time. It has been a workhorse of various Indian law enforcement agencies along with various other nations adopting it as their standard-issued firearm. Its performance was unmatched in the last four Indian wars. However, with time, better firepower is readily available and thus its usefulness has reduced,\u201d General Manager Rifle Factory Ishapore Prafulla Kumar Behera.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n<p>The accuracy and power of Ishapore 2A1 rifle is well known and it still remains the weapon of choice among many law enforcement personnel. The fact that these guns were virtually free of maintenance and spare parts were easily available made them the first choice for many militaries across the world.<\/p>\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cKeeping in mind the current law and order situation we need more powerful automatic firearms. We are gradually switching to more efficient brands such as Berretta. These are fully automatic when it comes to firing and not single shot like the Ishapore rifles,\u201d said Garia (South 24 Parganas) Police Station Officer In Charge Tarun Majumdar.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The rifles are already few in number, approximate figure of only 500 hundred in the state.
