> Another problem cited for INSAS was that it performs badly in Close Quarter Battles (CQBs) for which the forces preferred AK47. However, INSAS was a field weapon and its 5.56mm ammo (designed to injure, not kill) was not suited for CQB, very much like the any 5.56mm weapon with NATO ( e.g. M16) ,is not suited for CQB.

I know very little about the INSAS. but I'm not sure I follow the reasoning here. Why does the author not believe that 5.56mm is suitable for CQB? It may not have the momentum of other calibers, but it's most certainty not a less-than-lethal system...
