Barrett M107

6670f21c158ec2594e65e040527e885e.jpg


Mumbai Police have procured M107 after 26/11.

af11dc965ef8122c68f709737bf4bcbb.jpg


M107 is basically an improved M82A1M variant. Includes lengthened accessory rail, rear grip, and monopod socket.

The Barrett M107 is a .50 caliber, shoulder fired, semi-automatic sniper rifle. Like its predecessors the rifle is said to have manageable recoil for a weapon of its size owing to the barrel assembly that itself absorbs force, moving inward toward the receiver against large springs with every shot. Additionally the weapon's weight and large muzzle brake also assist in recoil reduction. Various changes were made to the original M82A1 to create the M107, with new features such as a lengthened accessory rail, rear grip and monopod socket. Barrett has recently been tasked with developing a lightweight version of the M107 under the "Anti-Materiel Sniper Rifle Congressional Program," and has already come up with a scheme to build important component parts such as the receiver frame and muzzle brake out of lighter weight materials.

The Barrett M107, like previous members of the M82 line, are also referred to as the Barrett "Light Fifty". The designation has in many instances supplanted earlier ones, with the M107 being voted one of 2005's Top 10 Military Inventions by the U.S. Army.

* Ruger MP9 PDW

The Ruger MP9 is a 9mm submachine gun/machine pistol introduced by Sturm, Ruger in 1995. It was created by Uziel Gal in the early 1980s. It is similar to the Uzi, his most famous creation, using a telescoping bolt, but fires from a closed bolt. The gun also has a quickly detachable barrel that is spring-loaded to cushion the impact of the bolt on closure. The cocking handle is located at the top of the receiver. It also has a substantial integrated folding stock. It was made in very limited numbers. The MP9 submachine gun was designed as a compact weapon for law enforcement forces. In 1995, the MP9 was released for police and military sales in the United States. The gun features three positions safety/fire selector with "safe", "semi-auto" and "full-auto" positions, as well as a separate firing pin block to increase safety. The MP9 has sometimes been called an improved Uzi.
 
Heckler & Koch MP5

The success of the MP-5 is outstanding. It is based on the high quality and reliability of the gun, great single-shot accuracy (thanks to its closed bolt action), great flexibility and, of cause, good marketing. It seems that no other modern SMG at this time can rival the MP-5 in popularity

* MP5 A3;Retractable buttstock



Caliber 9x19mm Parabellum
Weight, empty 2.88 kg
Length 490 / 660 mm
Barrel length 225 mm
Rate of fire 800 rounds per minute
Magazines 15 and 30 rounds



* MP5K Navy




MP5K in the special carrying case

Caliber: 9x19mm Luger/Para
Weight: 2 kg without magazine
Length (stock closed/open): 325 mm
Barrel length: 115 mm
Rate of fire: 900 rounds per minute
Magazine capacity: 15 or 30 rounds
Effective range: about 25 meters

The MP-5K compact submachine gun (K stands for "Kurz" in German, that means "short") had been developed by the German company Heckler-Koch for various counter-terror and security units, that needed a short-range weapon with serious firepower. The HK MP-5K can be easily concealed under the clothes, in the glove compartment of a car, or in the special carry/fire suitcase. It also allows the high mobility in the confined spaces and in the crowd. The price for this features is the short effective range of fire, limited by the short barrel, short sighting line, and the lack of the buttstock. MP-5K is also manufactured under license in Turkey and Iran, and is widely used by various Law Enforcement and VIP protection units worldwide. In the mid-1990s HK developed a derivative of the basic MP-5K, called the HK MP-5K PDW, or Personal Defense Weapon. This weapon is intended for issue to military personnel, who usually is issued with the pistol. MP-5K PDW is much more compact than most of modern submachine guns yet it offers much more firepower than any military pistol. The most limiting factor to the popularity of the MP-5K PDW as the military sidearm is its very limited penetration against personal protection means, like the helmets and body armour. It may, by my opinion, seriously benefit from using the latest Russia-developed 9x19mm Armour Piercing ammunition, which is currently adopted by the Russian Army and the Internal Affairs Ministry of Russia.

Technically, the MP-5K is no more than a shortened HK MP-5 submachine gun, with no stock and with vertical front grip instead of the more conventional forend. MP-5K uses the similar stamped steel receiver and the same plastic detachable trigger units, available for standard MP-5. It also uses the same magazines. The sights on the MP-5K can be of the same pattern as on the MP-5 (hooded post front, drum adjustable diopter rear), or the low-profile non-adjustable fixed sights. The MP-5K PDW differs from the MP-5K by having a plastic side-folding stock (designed and made in the USA by the Choate Machine & Tool Co under the HK USA contract). The other visible difference is the three-lugged barrel, that can accept any silencers, compatible with the standard MP-5. All models of the MP-5K can be fitted with various laser sights and other accessories.

It is interesting to know that during the 1980s HK manufactured a semi-automatic only version of the MP-5K for the civilian market. It was called the SP-89, and visually differed from the MP-5K by the lack of the front grip. The SP-89 has been included in the US 1994 "Assault weapons ban" and is no longer imported to the USA, and, most probably, no longer made.

* MP5 SD and SD 4



c77b37be1a12ea72ddb1ea60149b2af0.jpg


Description;
The MP5 SD is a silenced version of the MP5. Its mechanism is the same as that of the MP5 but the weapon differs in having a barrel into which 30 holes are drilled. The silencer on the barrel features two separate chambers. The first is connected to the holes in the barrel and serves as an expansion chamber for the propulsive gases, thus reducing the gas pressure and hence the velocity of the projectile. The second chamber diverts the gases as they leave the muzzle, so muffling the exit report. The silencer requires no maintenance; only rinsing in an oil-free cleaning agent is prescribed.There are six versions of the weapon. The MP5 SD1 has a receiver end cap and no butt-stock; the SD2 has a fixed butt-stock and the SD3 a retractable butt-stock, the components being identical to those of the MP5 A2 and MP5 A3 respectively. The MP5 SD4 resembles the SD1 but has a three-round burst facility in addition to single and automatic fire. The SD5 is the SD2 with three-round burst facility and the SD6 is the SD3 with the three-round burst facility. The three latest models have a slightly changed contour of the pistol-grip. Each may be used with iron sights, a telescopic sight, the Hensoldt Aiming Point Projector, an image intensifier sight and an aiming light.

daksh has a big daw back ,it is not tracked (it is wheeled) will have difficulty climbing stairs,if flipped can't stand up its own .
these are my assumption as we are the students of advance automotive engineering students at jorden's research lab

Dear,
Your assumptions are good "assumptions", but as U can see the Daksh climbing stairs in the pics.
All such equipments are made such as their CG is very low and this prevent flipping. Moreover this equipment is designed to be used in urban area, where wheeled equipments are preferred.
 
Post 26/11, NSG aims for corner shot weapons, ‘through-the-wall’ radars

One year after 26/11, counter-terror force NSG, after successful trials, is all set to acquire state-of-the-art corner shot weapons and hand-held “see through” wall radars in a bid to prepare itself for future urban terror strikes and hostage situations.

Government sources told The Indian Express that the NSG will soon float tenders for acquisition of corner shot weapons, which allows commandos to shoot around corners without endangering themselves, and wall surveillance radars, which can help monitor events inside a room without entering it, for its special action group (SAG) troopers. Both the force multipliers were sorely missed during 26/11, when the NSG had to battle hard for more than 60 hours to kill the Lashkar-e-Toiba terrorists in Mumbai.

The NSG has already purchased one corner shot Glock weapon from Israel’s Corner Shot Holdings at the cost of Rs 7,58,000 per piece and has successfully tested the weapon at its Manesar facility in the past two months. The weapon allows the shooter to track terrorists around a corner with the help of a video camera, mounted on the gun, which can swivel 63 degrees on either side. The counter-terror force is now planning to purchase more systems so that they can be mounted on standard Swiss SIG 551 or soon-to-be upgraded 553 assault rifles and AK-47 rifles used by the NSG commandos. This weapon is used by Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) in the US and other Western countries to counter terror attacks. Besides this, the NSG has also successfully tried out the “through the wall” radars manufactured by Israeli and British companies. With cost of each equipment running into several lakhs of rupees, the radar with an attached computer can be mounted on an outside wall. Particularly helpful in hostage situations and counter-strikes, the radar allows commandos to monitor rooms at a stand-off distance of more than 60 feet. Using ultra-wide band technology, the radar transmits 3D images in the form of dots, which gives clear picture of the location and strength of persons inside a room. Sources said that the NSG had already tested Xaver 400-800 wall radar from Camero-Tech of Israel and Prism 200 radar manufactured by Cambridge Consultants in Britain. The counter-terror force has already approached the Ministry of Home Affairs for purchasing the wall-mounted radars.
