The revolutionary LWRC PSD rifle


The revolutionary LWRC PSD rifle offers incredible fire power in a tiny package! Smashing the paradigm that small close protection weapons be relegated to pistol-caliber submachine guns, the LWRC PSD brings the awesomely hard-hitting 6.8mm SPC round to bear on threats out to 300 meters! This means that personal security teams can reach farther and hit harder while maintaining the concealability and portability of the current, leading SMG.
Capable of penetrating soft armor and hard barriers, such as cinder block walls, the incredible 6.8mm round gives the operator unparalleled capabilities in facing today’s threats. The LWRC PSD rifle is outfitted with our patent-pending ARM-R™ rail system, featuring a removable top platform and return-to-zero reinstallation with no tools required. The carbine-length rail over a low profile gas block gives the operator their choice in rail-mounted BUIS and is ideal for optics.
The LWRC PSD rifle combines submachine gun size with a battle rifle cartridge and our ultra reliable gas-piston operating system, offering the professional shooter never-before realized capabilities in one sweet little package.

AA-12 Automatic Shotgun


Meet the AA-12 (Auto Assault 12) automatic shotgun, a weapon that would be more at home in a first-person-shooter than in the real world. The 12 gauge gun will spit out 300 rounds per minute, and has a range of projectiles, including the Frag-12, which is more of a miniature missile than a bullet: it has a range of up to 175 meters (575 feet).

The AA-12 is designed for military use, and can survive below zero temperatures or a dunk in salt water thanks to its stainless steel construction. It uses a Tommy-Gun like cylinder to feed in the cartrides and is designed to operate with almost no recoil.

KRISS Super V XSMG System .45 ACP Submachine Gun


The KRISS Super V XSMG System .45 ACP Submachine Gun was hands-down one of the coolest and most interesting small arms at SHOT Show 2007. Yes, the way the gun looks is part of what makes it so interesting. However the gun’s unique operating mechanism is the single most interesting thing about it, and this mechanism is what dictates much of the weapon’s configuration and physical appearance. Speaking of unique design, when you look at the weapon, notice that the bore is roughly in line with the trigger and below the grip tang. This configuration should also assist in pushing the weapon straight back upon firing, instead of pushing the muzzle up.
Where recoil attenuation/mitigation really comes into play is on full-auto. The KRISS Super V XSMG’s cyclic rate / rate of fire (ROF) can be adjusted from as high as approx. 1500 RPM (rounds per minute) to as low as approx. 650 RPM. Since the KRISS is supposed to mitigate recoil so effectively, full-auto bursts should be controllable, even when opeating at a very high cyclic rate (at least, theoretically).

GUNS OF ISRAEL part 1-5+

The Cornershot Rifle - A choice weapon for future urban combat


Innovative weapons designs are typically developed to serve problem areas highlighted during the heat of battle. The Israeli military, through their extensive experience with urban combat and counter terrorism operations, developed an idea to provide the war fighter with an exceptional first-strike capability. Which brings us to a recently revealed design from the Israeli firm whose corporation is the rifles namesake, The Cornershot. With a camera mounted on the nose of a swiveling barrel of an assault pistol, a soldier wielding this rifle can get a first look into a dangerous situation and strike first. Additional models can be outfitted with an automatic grenade launcher to shoot around corners and clear rooms. Check out the video that displays the training and capabilities of squads wielding the Cornershot.

50 cal Barret sniper rifle

The complete system includes the .50 caliber semi-automatic rifle, detachable 10-round magazine, variable-power day optic sight, transport case, tactical soft case, cleaning /maintenance equipment, detachable sling and adjustable bi-pod and manuals. It fires standard caliber .50 ammunition. The new rifle provides Army snipers a much needed solution that is tactically superior to other capabilities against materiel and personnel targets.

The M107 .50 caliber long range sniper rifle is a new Category I weapon being fielded to infantry snipers, with 700 in service in FY2003. The Category II M82A1 remains in service. The Army's new .50 caliber sniper rifle design was initially designated the XM-107. At least two manufacturers of .50 caliber sniper rifles were in competition for the contract -- Barrett and EDM Arms -- and Barrett won the contract.

The M107 is the Barrett Model 95, a smaller, lightweight .50 caliber rifle with emphasis on accuracy and durability. The bullpup design results in a compact rifle with no sacrifice on accuracy or velocity thanks to its cryogenically treated 29-inch (73.7 cm) barrel, the same length as the Model 82A1. Recoil is reduced by the dual-chamber muzzle brake and specially designed recoil pad.
