CheyTac M200


  The CheyTac M200 is an American bolt sniper rifle manufactured by CheyTac for interdiction of long range targets. It is powered by a removable 7-bullet charger. Shoot ammunition .408 CheyTac or .375 CheyTac. CheyTac documents say the weapon is capable of sub-MDA accuracy over distances up to 2,300 meters (2,500 yards), one of the longest reaches of all modern sniper rifles today. It is based on the EDM Arms Windrunner. The slight recoil of the .408 CheyTac is attributed to the McArthur PGRS-1 mouth brake, which was designed by the inventor of firearms Bruce McArthur, owner of The Flint & Frizzen Gun Shop in Clarkston, Michigan. McArthur designed it to remove the fumes from the projectile before it came out of the mouth brake. The muffler of the mouth brake of the CheyTac, manufactured by OPS INC, is a stainless steel silencer. Being constructed with non-replaceable parts of stainless steel, it guarantees a useful life equal to or superior to the one of the rifle. When fully filled with water, the muffler can drain in 6 seconds, allowing use when exiting the water.

   There are two different types of optical sights available. The main one is the NXS Nightforce 5,5-22x56 telescopic scope of variable magnification with a 56 mm objective. The alternative telescopic sight is the US Optics SN-9. The night vision system is the AN / PVS-14 AN / PVS-14 GEN III Pinnacle monocular. The PVS-14 is attached to the day-sight using the Monoloc device. An infrared laser AN / PEQ-2 is used to support the system with the night vision scope in conditions where there is insufficient ambient lighting or the IR laser is necessary for additional lighting of targets. The device is connected to a titanium strut. The KESTREL 4000 meteorological and environmental sensor set is used to measure wind, air temperature and air pressure. It also collects relative humidity, cold wind, and dewpoint. All these data are entered directly into the tactical computer, so that manual input is not necessary, a Vector IV mil spec laser rangefinder is used to establish data over distances. High-tech laser rangefinders can measure distances with great accuracy at over 2,000 meters (2,200 yards).

   CheyTac states in its November 13, 2006, briefing note that "the CheyTac LRRS is a solid anti-personnel system at 1830 meters (2,000 yards) .The main purpose of .408 is to be a far-reaching anti-personnel system, or" Massive Attack " presenter Richard Machowicz, a former SEAL of the US Army's special operations group, made 3 of 6 shots at a metal plate at a distance of 2,313 meters (2,530 yards) from Arch Pass, Idaho A SAS sniper hit a Daesh jihadist sniper from 2.4 kilometers (2.414 m) On October 29, 2016, a French shooter set the world record for long-range shots with a " "The CheyTac M-200 Intervention is an American bolt-sniper rifle manufactured by CheyTac for interdicc long range objectives.

AK 74


   The AK-74 assault rifle is a modernized version of the AK-47, which was developed in 1974 and is 5.45 mm smaller than its predecessor. Its series production began that same year. The AK-74 has other AKM differences, the most notable being the elongated compensator which reduces the deviation of the bullets during automatic fire. The cylinder head, the guardamano, the pistolete and the loader are of plastic. In its first appearance, it was assumed that the AK-74 would be a limited production version to equip special forces. In fact, the Soviet Union was going to massively produce this rifle to replace the inventory of AKM weapons en masse. Like AK-47s and AKMs, the AK-74 is a selective fire assault rifle, a 30-liter magazine made of semi-translucent polyamide, a rigid piston gas system and a rotating bolt. There are two versions of the AKS-74: the motorized infantry and the version for the parachutists. Versions have also been developed for both the Russian Army and its police and special units such as the FSB, OMON and some anti-terrorist agencies.

   When the United States adopted the M16 in the mid-1960s, this drew the attention of the Soviets, who immediately began developing their own version, with the 5.45 x 39 cartridge. Despite its smaller caliber and weight, it is as lethal as 7.62 x 39. This is due to a higher speed and smaller diameter of the bullet itself, of dubious international legality, and causing aggravated damages. This was seen in the Afghanistan War (1978-1992), where the Mujahideen dubbed it "poisoned bullet" since the wounds it produced were so painful that they thought they were in fact poisoned. By not depending on more power and with the improved mouth brake, the AK-74 has a very manageable recoil. The defect of this cartridge, in addition to being more complex and therefore more expensive to produce, is that its length-weight ratio is worse than that of 5.56 x 45 NATO, which makes it less accurate. Although at a distance for which the weapon was designed, it works well.

   Its mechanism box is made with stamped steel sheet, being a loan from the AKM. The AK-74 has other features that distinguish it from the AKM, especially its distinctive mouth brake. This drastically reduces the already soft recoil and lift of the AKM barrel, but has the disadvantage of increasing the noise and the flash. Current versions of the AK-74 come equipped with a rail on the left side of the mechanism drawer, which allow telescopic or night vision sights, which in turn allows both optical and mechanical sights to not interfere with each other and even accuracy is maintained; AK-74 large capacity chargers are also currently manufactured. The operation of the rifle during firing and reloading is identical to that of the AKM. Upon ignition of the cartridge primer and the propellant, the rapidly expanding propellant gases are diverted to the gas cylinder above the barrel through a vent near the mouth of the barrel. The accumulation of gases inside the gas cylinder drives the long stroke piston and the reel holder back and a machined cam guide on the bottom of the reel holder together with an ejector spur in the reel holder guide, turn the bolt approximately 35 ° and unlocks it from the extension of the barrel by means of a cam pin on the bolt. The moving assembly has approximately 5.5 mm (0.2 in) of free travel which creates a delay between the initial piston recoil pulse and the bolt release sequence, allowing the gas pressures to drop to a safe level before the seal between the camera and the bolt is broken. Like the previous Kalashnikov rifles, the AK-74 does not have a gas valve; Excess gases are vented through a series of radial holes in the gas cylinder. Since the Kalashnikov operating system does not offer primary extraction when turning the bolt, the 5.45 x 39 mm AK-74 bolt has a larger drawbar claw than the 7.62 x 39 mm AKM for greater extraction reliability. Other minor modifications were made to the bolt and support assembly.

AK 74



HK417


   Like the HK 416, the HK417 was developed for special forces units. Information about this weapon emerged in 2005 from the new interest in 7.62 mm caliber rifles, arising from the experience of international forces in the Afghanistan War and the Iraq War where greater range and power of penetration was very useful. It shares operating, control, disassembly and maintenance characteristics similar to the American AR-15, M16 and M4 series of rifles. It uses the gas-operated piston system developed by HK on its G36 and HK 416 rifles, improving reliability, cleaning and maintenance as no propellant or charcoal residues are being redirected to the chamber. The cylinder head has a retractable multi-position, with battery compartment, with two shooting modes (semi-automatic and automatic), with a 1-turn 11 "spline, with adapter for flames, recoil compensator and / or muffler. optical rail, laser pointers and adapter for 40mm grenade launcher.

   The HK 417 has a gas-operated recharging system for a short-throw piston and rotary bolt (similar to the HK G36). The guns are made of cold forged steel. There are three different barrel lengths for the HK417: 305 mm (12 inches), 406 mm (16 inches, standard or heavy version) and 508 mm (20 inches, heavy). Assembling a precision barrel, the MDA 1 precision weapon is provided, using the appropriate ammunition. Cannons can be replaced quickly using simple tools. The HK 417 retains all of the M16's style controls, including the device to hold the bolt open after firing the last cartridge, the rotary bolt, the loading handle at the base of the rear of the mechanism drawer and the button of the magazine catch on the right side. Has ambidextrous fire selector with safe, semi-automatic and automatic mode.

   The HK 417 comes with four Picatinny rails integrated into the handrails and accepts any type of viewfinder type STANAG-1913 compatible with these supports. You can also accept, by modifying it, the HK AG36 / AG-C 40mm grenade launcher, which attaches directly to the bottom of the rail. The cylinder head is similar to that of the M4 carbine, with six position retractable system. The first prototypes used the HK G3 chargers, and were later replaced by 10 or 20 magazine cartridges made of translucent polymer, similar to the G36. There is a 50 cartridge drum charger initially designed for the HK21E that can be used to provide fire support.

KRISS Super V.


   The KRISS Vector series is a family of weapons based machine gun design developed by KRISS USA, formerly Transformational Defense Industries (TDI). They use an unconventional delayed recoil system combined with an in-line design to reduce perceived recoil and snout rise. In the spring of 2007, TDI announced the Kriss Super V machine gun. It was an experimental weapon in advanced stages of development at that time. The name Kriss comes from an Indonesian sword or a large knife with a blade similar to a flame. The KRISS Vector second-generation prototype named K10 was announced in SHOT Show 2011. It is a slightly more compact version of the Vector that is based on the same Super V system. The main difference is the use of a telescopic material that collapses in the upper receiver instead of the previous folding material. The load lever operates downwards instead of horizontally. The K10 was not shown after SHOT Show 2013 and its status is unknown and probably canceled. KRISS announced the "Gen II" versions of Vector's original models in 2015. It features a redesigned pistol grip, a safety selector and compatibility with a new 9 mm lower. It seems to have replaced the K10 prototypes.

   The KRISS vector uses the KRISS Super V recoil mitigation system, which is an articulated mechanism that allows the bolt and a block of inertia to move down into a gap behind the magazine compartment. The theory is that at the end of this trip, energy is transmitted downwards instead of backwards, thus reducing the recoil of the felt. When firing, the barrel axle is in line with the shoulder as in the M16 rifle, but also in line with the hand of the shooter. This is intended to reduce the rise of the muzzle when combined with the travel of the off-axis bolt, but also greatly increases the line of sight compared to the axis of the hole. The initial prototype of the TDI model achieved a firing rate of 1,500 rounds per minute (RPM), although this was reduced to around 1,200 rounds per minute (RPM) in production models. Similar to the AR-15 rifle, which is secured together with four push pins; KRISS Vector is divided into two main sets. Due to the unusual arrangement of the weapon, the lower one contains the action, the loading lever, the loader and the barrel, while the upper part contains the ejection port, the rail system, the gun grip and the control components of fire, as well as the stock for the configurations that have one. This modular design allows tool-free gauge conversions by trading only the lowest. Vector safety is ambidextrous (as well as the trigger mode selector in the self-timer pack) while the ejection port, the charge handle, the bolt release latch and the charger release are not available, and are only available in a deft configuration.

   Calibers such as .22 LR, .40 S & W and 9 × 19 mm Parabellum were mentioned when the weapon was first launched. Gen II versions with multiple design changes, including a new 9mm variant, were confirmed in SHOT Show 2015, although the .22LR version has not yet materialized and probably has been canceled. The original Vector was designed to accept standard Glock 21 gun magazines; a special "MagEx 30" kit was available to convert a 13-round Glock AGP magazine into an extended high capacity version, but is now marketed as a "25" round kit. The newer versions of Parabellum 9 × 19 mm instead use the standard Glock 17. The KRISS Vector family has undergone two generations of modifications. The Gen I version is the base model of the Vector family. It was later replaced by the enhanced Gen II version featuring a redesigned pistol and trigger, optional factory-made Cerakote liners in olive or flat dark earth, in addition to the original flat black, and reduced the swinging angle of the safety lever 120 to 45 degrees. Also eliminates the opening on the gun of the optional Surefire weapon of the original weapon, since these are no longer manufactured. It can also be converted into Parabellum 9 × 19 mm replacing the lower receiver. The KRISS Vector machine gun is only available for military and police use. It has camera in 9 × 19 mm Parabellum or .45 ACP. It features a 5.5-inch barrel (with a 6.5-inch barrel option in the Gen II version), a folding stock, a Midwest Industries (BUIS) (MagPul MBUS in Gen II guns) a Picatinny rim for mounting various optics / scopes, and two fire selectors in single and fully automatic mode or a three-way shooting selector (single, two-round, and fully automatic).

H&K Mp7


   The Heckler & Koch MP7 (Maschinenpistole 7) is a German personal defense weapon (PDW) designed and manufactured by Heckler & Koch (H & K) and camera for the HK cartridge of 4.6 x 30 mm. It was designed with the new cartridge to meet the NATO requirements published in 1989, as these requirements require a Personal Defense Class (PDW) firearm, with a greater ability to penetrate body armor than current limited weapons to conventional gun cartridges. The MP7 went into production in 2001. It is a direct rival of the FN P90, also developed in response to the NATO requirement. The weapon has been revised since its introduction and the latest variants of production are MP7A1 and MP7A2. The proliferation of high-quality body armor has begun to make guns firing gun ammunition (such as Heckler and Koch's former MP5 submachine gun or USP gun) ineffective. In response to this trend, Heckler & Koch designed the MP7 (along with the now canceled UCP gun, which uses the same ammunition) to penetrate the body armor being small enough to be used instead of a pistol or submachine gun.

   The MP7 uses a short-stroke piston gas system as used in H & K's G36 and HK416 assault rifles, rather than a recoil system traditionally seen in machine guns, including H & K's. The ammunition 4.6 × 30 mm is exclusive to the gun and offers a low recoil. This ammunition is unique among machine guns, as the bullet is made almost entirely of a hardened steel penetrator rather than softer copper or lead. The MP7 allows to place a conventional magazine of 20 rounds, 30 rounds or 40 rounds inside the gun grip (the 20 round magazine is comparable in size to a magazine of 15 rounds of 9 × 19 mm, while the magazine 40 rounds the magazine compares with a 30 round magazine of 9 × 19 mm). It has an ambidextrous fire selector, bolt-grip lever and magazine release. It has an extendable base and a folding front grip; You can shoot with one hand or with both hands. It is compact and light, due to the use of polymers in its construction. The MP7 has a cyclic shooting speed of 950 shots per minute (RPM).

   The high-speed rounds specially designed for MP7 armor drilling (AP) consist of solid copper-plated steel (DM11), alloy plated steel jacket (DM21) or lead-core shells with copper alloy jacket (Fiocchi FMJ ZP). The standard high speed AP DM11 (Ultimate Combat) round with a 2.0 g (31 gr) projectile has an output velocity of 2,362 ft / s (720 m / s) and has a muzzle energy of 506 J (373 ft -lbf). The DM11 round penetrates NATO's CRISAT target (20 Kevlar layers with 1.6 mm titanium back) even at 200 m. The round has a small diameter, which allows to redouble the capacity of penetration and a great capacity in a very small magazine. VBR of Belgium produces a 2-part 4.6 × 30 mm controlled fragmentation projectile which is said to increase the content of the permanent wound cavity and doubles the probability of striking a vital organ. Heckler and Koch claim that the black-tipped CPS ammunition made by Fiocchi has a mouth power of approximately 525 J, which would be comparable to the 9 × 19 mm Parabellum rounds.

FN P90


   The FN P90 is an automatic submachine gun made in Belgium by FN Herstal. On 16 April 1989, NATO published document D / 296 with the requirement for a self-defense weapon to be put into service by the year 2000. The pistol cartridges that existed until then, also used on submachine guns, had been increasing their inefficiency in front of troops equipped with personal armor and bullet-proof vests, while assault rifles that could pierce the armor were too heavy and uncomfortable for use in enclosed spaces such as the interior of buildings. FN Herstal responded to this requirement by designing the Project 90 submachine gun and its anti-armor cartridge 5.7 x 28 SS190. The P90 sub-machine was put into service in 1994. It operates by mass recoil with automatic and semiautomatic firing modes. It is completely ambidextrous, with ambidextrous trigger selector, ergonomic handle and downward ejection of pods. The P90 is designed with a novel bullpup configuration, which features a transparent 50 cartridge cartridge mounted on the gun, parallel to the barrel (with the ammunition arranged perpendicular to the barrel). The circular ramp under the charger aligns each cartridge with the chamber, a design that makes the P90 a very compact and maneuverable weapon, while the translucent polymer charger facilitates rapid testing of available ammunition.

   The P90 is mainly made of polymer, including hammer and other related components. The use of polymers, as in the Steyr AUG assault rifle, make the P90 a very light weapon compared to those made of metal. The gun has very little recoil, allowing great accuracy in automatic fire. The recoil of the 5.7 x 28 cartridge is 1.95 kg / sec, approximately half of the 5.56 x 45 NATO of the M16 and most of the assault rifles. In addition, the moving parts of the gun are designed to cushion the recoil. The basic disassembly of gun maintenance can be carried out in less than 10 seconds without the use of tools, separating the weapon into four groups: gun and optical aim support system, set of moving parts, hammer assembly and trigger assembly . The two-stage trigger allows semi-automatic triggering when the selector is set to automatic mode. FN Herstal manufactures a protective bag of the magazine with a plastic dust cap that covers the opening of the cartridge storage compartment. Contrary to popular belief, the P90's charger is not prone to blockage.

   The 5.7 x 28 SS190 cartridge has a higher penetration capacity than cartridges with similar recoil, and can penetrate the standard armor of the troops of the late Warsaw Pact (a layer of titanium and several layers of kevlar) as specified in the NATO document. Its penetration capacity is lower than most assault rifle cartridges, but is better than existing gun cartridges, such as .45 ACP, .40 S & W or 9 x 19 Parabellum. It is considered capable of piercing helmets and bullet-proof vests up to a distance of 100 m, half that of assault rifle ammunition, but more than sufficient within the scope of normal use of the weapon. The FN has designed a variant of the ammunition in which the bullet, after crossing a hard target, destabilizes, turning and losing all drilling capacity. This feature is very useful in situations such as police assaults, especially with nearby civilians or hostages, because they avoid lost bullets capable of causing innocent victims after crossing walls, white bodies, etc. This feature, too, can achieve a higher lethality with the use of this ammunition, since the bullet will tend to turn on itself inside the objective (understanding as such a human body), which would multiply the damage inflicted. Its performance is similar to the 4.6 x 30 cartridge used by the Heckler & Koch MP7 subfusil. However, both cartridges are questioned. Some experts are skeptical about their detention power against targets without any armor. Without much experience in real combat, the effects of the P90 and its ammunition are still undetermined, reason why the SAS and the U.S. Navy SEAL prefer to continue using their traditional 9mm submachine guns.

Barret M82


   The M82 is a high-powered SASR (special application rifle with telescopic sight) developed by the firm Barrett Firearms Manufacturing. He is currently part of the team of many special units and armies in the world, including US Special Forces. It is also called "Fifty Light" for its caliber .50 (12.7 mm). The weapon has two variants, the original M82A1 (and A3) and the M82A2 bullpup, the M82A2 no longer occurs, although the XM500 can be seen as its spiritual successor, using the bullpup configuration. The Barrett Firearms Company was founded by Ronnie Barrett for the sole purpose of building high-powered semi-automatic rifles with .50 caliber ammunition, originally developed and used by the Browning M2 machine gun. Barrett began his work in the early 1980s, and the first rifles were available in 1982, with the designation M82. Barrett continues to develop his rifle during the 1980s, producing the upgraded M82A1 in 1986.

   The first success in the military market was the purchase of about 100 M82A1 rifles by the Swedish Army in 1989. A major success continues in 1990, when the United States Army acquired a significant number of M82A1 during Operation Desert Shield and Desert Storm in Kuwait and Iraq. About 125 rifles were initially purchased by the United States Marine Corps, which was followed by Army and Air Force orders. The M82A1 is known in the United States Army as SASR (Special Applications Scoped Rifle), and was and continues to be used as an anti-material rifle and for actions of EOD ("Explosive Devices Deactivation"). Its long effective range (more than 1.5 km, with a record shot at 2.5 km), along with its high energy and availability of highly effective ammunition such as incendiary anti-armor bullets, and Raufoss Mk 211, ensure firing effective against targets such as radars, trucks, parked aircraft and others. The M82 can also be used against human targets at a great distance or when put under cover. However, the anti-personnel action is not the main application of the M82 (or any other rifle 12.7 mm). There are widely held beliefs that several treaties have banned the use of .50 BMG cartridges against human targets, as well as that generations of conscripts have been advised by the sergeants of instruction in firing a .50-caliber weapon at the harnesses and other transported equipment by an enemy soldier. Despite this, the Attorney General of the United States Military Court has issued a legal opinion that .50 BMG and even Mk 211 are legal for use against enemies.

   A later development produced the M82A2 bullpup rifle in 1987, which was a reduced recoil design to be able to shoot standing. It did not make a big impression on the firearms market and its production was quickly canceled. Although in 2006, Barrett developed the XM500, with a bullpup configuration similar to the M82A2. The latest derivative of the M82 family is the M82A1M rifle, adopted by the Marines as the M82A3 SASR and purchased in large quantities. This rifle differs from the M82A1 in that it has a complete Picatinny rail, which allows it to install a wide variety of telescopic sights and aiming devices. Other changes are the addition of a back support, lightened mechanism, removable bipod and mouth brake. Another variant of the original rifle is the M82A1A SASR, an almost identical model but specifically designed to fire Raufoss Mk 211 Mod 0 cartridges with perforator-incendiary bullet.

Dragunov


    The Dragunov sniper rifle, in abbreviated form SVD, is a 7.62 mm semi-automatic sniper rifle, designed by Evgeniy Fyodorovich Dragunov in the Soviet Union between 1958 and 1963. The SVD was the first semiautomatic rifle in the world designed specifically for to be used in precision military shooting, and is common (in many of its variants) in the countries of the former Eastern Bloc. The need for a new semiautomatic precision rifle was evident between the Soviet high command in the 1950s, and in 1958 a contest was held between the Soviet arms designers for the creation of such a rifle. The first one was a gun designed by Sergei Simonov (known as SSV-58), the second was a prototype called 2B-W10 by Alexander Konstantinov and the third rifle, the SVD-137, a design by Evgeniy Fedorovich Dragunov. Intensive field tests of the rifles were carried out in a wide range of environmental conditions, which were surpassed by the Dragunov rifle. In 1963 the sniper rifle Dragunov was accepted into the Soviet Union's army arsenal. A batch of 200 pre-production rifles was manufactured to be evaluated, being produced in series since 1964 at the Izhmash Mechanical Factory. As of that date, the Dragunov was the standard sniper rifle of several countries, including those of the dissolved Warsaw Pact. This rifle is produced under license in China (Type 79 and Type 85) and Iran (as a copy of the Type 79 Chinese rifle).

    The Dragunov is a semi-automatic rifle powered by the firing gases, using a piston system with short stroke. The chamber is closed by a rotating bolt (which rotates to the left) with three locking studs. The rifle has a manual gas regulator, with two positions. After firing the last cartridge of the magazine, the lock-bolt and the bolt are held in the open position by a detent that is disengaged by pulling back the cocking handle. The rifle has a hammer percussion mechanism and a manual safety-selector. Its mechanism box is made by machining to provide additional precision and resist torsion. The dragunov drawer mechanism has certain similarities with that of the AK-47, such as the large protective cover, the mechanical lift and the safe-selector. The Dragunov is powered from a curved magazine, with a capacity of 10 cartridges. The cartridges are in two rows, zig-zag.

    The barrel has a slotted flame arrester. Its bore is chrome-plated to increase corrosion resistance and has 4 dextrorotatory grooves with a rotation rate of 320 mm. The grooved part of the bore is 547 mm. Subsequently, the rotation rate was adjusted to 240 mm, which slightly reduced precision when firing special sniper cartridges and mouth speed at 810 m / s. This was done to facilitate the use of tracer ammunition and anti-incendiary armor. These special bullets needed a lower rate of rotation for proper stabilization. The SVD uses the cartridges 7.62 x 54 R, with an initial speed of 1 130 m / s. The rifle accepts the old M1891 / 30 cartridge, but for precision shots it uses specially designed cartridges that were developed by V. M. Sabelnikov, P. P. Sazonov and V. M. Dvorianinov. The 7N1 cartridge has a bullet with steel jacket and air bag, steel core and a lead weight at its base for maximum terminal effect. The 7N1 was replaced in 1999 by the cartridge 7N14. This is a new cartridge specifically developed for the SVD. It has a bullet of 151 grains that travels at the same speed of 830 m / s, but has a tempered steel core pointed. The SVD can also fire cartridges with conventional bullets, tracer or anti-armor incendiary.

    The Russian Army has set standards of precision that the SVD and its corresponding special ammunition must meet. Manufacturers must conduct firing tests to see if guns and ammunition meet these standards. To fulfill them, the Dragunov rifle that fires special cartridges 7N1 must not have an extreme vertical dispersion of more than 1.24 MDA when employing a barrel with a rotation rate of 240 mm and must not have an extreme vertical dispersion of more than 1, 04 MDA when using a barrel with a rotation rate of 320 mm. When using standard 57-N-323S cartridges, the accuracy of the SVD is reduced to an extreme vertical dispersion of 2.21 MDA. The extreme vertical dispersions of the SVD are established by firing 5 cartridges to a target located at 300 m. The precision of the Dragunov with special ammunition corresponds to that of the American M24 SWS rifles with M118SB cartridges (extreme vertical dispersion of 1.18 MDA) and M110 Semi-Automatic Sniper System with cartridges M118LR (extreme vertical dispersion of 1.27 MDA).

    Although the rifle is lethal at distances of up to 1200 meters, it was not really intended or designed to achieve great accuracy and can reasonably only reach targets of more than 600 meters with standard ammunition, achieving a shot within an angle of 2 MDA at that distance. Primarily, due to the effects of the semi-automatic action of the SVD on the harmonics of the barrel, the precision of the rifle decreases in shots at great distances. Despite its size, it is handled with ease and was designed to be very durable. The Dragunov has ventilated two-piece handrails and a skeletal wooden head with a detachable cheek; this is disassembled when the hike and the point of sight are used. The new models have black polymer handrail and butt - the handrail is almost identical, while the butt has a different shape. The rifle also has a bayonet for melee combat, but when mounted, there is a slight change in the center of gravity, affecting its manageability and possibly also its accuracy.

SIG SAUER SIG516


    One of the most proven and proven weapon systems in the world achieves maximum refinement with the introduction of the SIG516 rifle. With its nitride-treated military grade barrel and adjustable four-position gas regulator, the SIG516 incorporates all the most desirable mechanical improvements. Add to these a free floating guard, and you have the most advanced and versatile AR rifle available. The SIG516 family of tactical rifles is the latest product of the US armaments division SIG-Sauer. Aimed mainly at the North American market, this family of weapons includes two basic semiautomatic versions, oriented to the civil and police market and another version with automatic selective fire destined to the government. The SIG516 is closely linked to the Ar-15 / M16 family of assault rifles, albeit with a number of improvements, such as a gas regulator for the piston recoil system.

    The SIG516 uses a gas-driven recoil system configured as the Ar-15 / M16, with a mechanism drawer made of aluminum alloy with two sections, upper and lower. The Ar-15 / M16 style rotary bolt system has been upgraded with a short travel piston that moves inside the handrail, over the barrel. The gas group is equipped with a manually adjustable gas regulator. The trigger group, manual override and feed system are similar to the Ar-15 / M16. The SIG516 Patrol has a 16-inch chrome barrel and an adjustable M4 stock. The optical equipment is installed on the integral Picatinny rail above the gearbox or on the 4 additional rails of the handrails. The tactical world is full of ARs. But only a select few are tough enough and accurate enough to call themselves GIS. The SIG516 is the natural evolution of the platform, with a series of improvements designed to survive anything, anywhere.

    This was designed for tough tactical environments, its advanced SIG SAUER short push lever system reduces carbon inlay, excessive heat and unburnt dust in action, ensuring unmatched reliability and function, a camera and a diameter of NATO Nitride 5.56mm guarantee a reliable function in any environment, It also has an adjustable gas valve that allows operators to increase gas flow when lower pressure ammunition is used or when adverse conditions require additional power. Reduced flow and off position improves the use of suppressors. The barrels have an A2 flash suppressor and are threaded 1/2 × 28 TPI, allowing the SIG516 to accommodate a range of replacement accessories and suppressor brackets. Whether you are left-handed or right-handed, there should be no compromise in shot performance, as the SIG516 features an ambidextrous selector, pin release, charger release, and load handle.

    The SIG516 has a safety lever on the left side, to be used by the thumb of the firing hand. The gas block integrates an adjustable gas regulator. The front gas block has a bar to accept the front view with a rotating sight lamp post. The SIG516 models are equipped with a flash device with bird cage M16A2. All SIG516 models, except the Marksman, are equipped with 16-inch barrels wrapped in a floating M1913 Picatinny rail, as well as folding iron sights (BUIS) manufactured by SIG Sauer. The models N56 SIG516 of 5.56 × 45 mm accept magazines type box AR-15. These magazines are built in variants of 5, 10, 20 and 30 rounds. SIG516 Russian rifles should use a different charger, as they have a 7.62 × 39 mm camera. The Russian SIG516 uses chargers designed for AR-15 7.62 × 39 mm rifles. The rifle is a hammer and has a two-stage trigger mechanism in the Marksman SIG516, while all others have a single-stage military-specification trigger. A bolt retention device locks the bolt carrier assembly after the last magazine cartridge has been expended and is released by depressing the bolt retention lever located on the left side of the receiver. Alternatively, a left-hander may release the bolt by pulling the loading handle a short distance back.

AK 103


   The AK-103 is an assault rifle, the new version of the Soviet AK-47. It is currently manufactured in Russia and licensed in Venezuela. It has the same caliber as its predecessor (7.62 mm) and arose in response to the 5.45 x 39 (low impact) AK-74 cartridge from which it took the elongated compensator it has at the mouth of the barrel; the AK-47 plastic boots and the Russian AKM fit into this rifle, as do the Type 56 Chinese and the Finnish RK 62. The AK-103 is an assault rifle that has two shooting modes: semi-automatic and automatic. At the time of shooting, the weapon has very little recoil, which makes the shot much more effective. Its weight with full loader is 3.5 kg, and that makes a real light rifle. It has a cross-sectional scope of 1000 meters and also has an adapter rail on the left side that can be used to attach an extension rail to equip the rifle with any type of telescopic sight, red dot, ACOG, etc. (in fact, the aforementioned extension allows the installation of the optical sight and thus prevents that neither it nor the mechanical sights interfere with each other); its ease of replenishment, recharges and is characterized by the possibility of having a folding stock. Therefore it is a variant of the AK-74M, but it shoots the cartridge 7.62 x 39 of the AKM. The cylinder head runs from the end of the barrel to the shaft that holds it, and keeps it attached to the rest of the gun. The cylinder body runs from the middle of the barrel to the mechanism drawer. At the mouth of the barrel carries a bocacha extinguishes flames, being the one in charge that the exhaust of gases generated by the cartridge is more effective and the recoil lighter; however, it must be remembered that not all the gas is expelled, part of this energy is used to drive the mechanisms and place a new cartridge in the chamber. The mechanism drawer consists of the following elements; The selector, the bolt, the piston, the trigger, the pressure bar, the cover of the moving assembly.

   One of the essential components of the weapon, it has ribbed bore, giving the projectile fired a greater capacity of penetration and even against shields of more than 4 levels, goes from the interior of the drawer of mechanisms until the thread of the mouth, where it is coupled The last component of the rifle compensates for the excess gases generated in the firing of the cartridge, giving the shooter a more measured response to the impact generated by the explosion generated in the cartridge, lightening the recoil created in the reaction, allowing the shooter to fire the weapon while standing, giving a higher reaction rate to the soldier operating it. It is recognized by its sometimes semi-conical shape, and at other times, by being grooved. As it is a model of the Series-100, shares this same extinguishes flames with the rest of the series and the base design, the AK-74. Taking into account that when firing the projectile reaches a speed of 910 m / s, and having its cartridges both of blaze, plotters, anti-armor and ordinary, the rifle is easy to maintain, an average of 5 minutes it is possible to clean and put it together. Its predecessor, the AK-47, is the weapon most used in the world for its adaptation to the environment; of this one derives the design of AK-103, that copies much of the systems and mechanisms of operation.

   In May 2005, the Venezuelan Ministry of Defense signed a contract with the Russian company Rosoboronexport to buy 100,000 AK-103 rifles, as well as the machinery and technology needed to produce the ammunition locally. Venezuela received its first shipment of 30,000 rifles on June 3, 2006. A second shipment of 32,000 AK-103 rifles arrived on August 30. The third and final shipment arrived on November 29, 2006. These rifles replaced approximately 60,000 FN FAL Belgian rifles purchased in 1953, as well as the locally produced FALs. Currently, a factory is being built dedicated to the production of the AK-103 and AK-104 rifles that will be located in Maracay, which will be producing them by mid-2017, and another factory in the same location will be in charge of manufacturing the cartridges for both AK-103 and AK-104.
