The TriCa or the Trichy Carbine is a well-disguised Compact Assault Rifle chambered for the 7.62x39 M43 round. This stubby short-barrelled assault rifle is very similar to several such weapons deployed by the former East Bloc countries like Bulgaria and Yugoslavia. The Soviets chambered their compact AK in the 5.45x39 round, the AKS-74U (mistakenly called the "Krinkov"). The TriCa is produced at the Ordnance Factory, Trichy. It was not named the TriCa when this video was shot -- hence names like "Baby Trichy Assault Rifle" or Baby TAR.
