French special forces will receive the latest SIG SAUER MCX SPEAR LT rifle: Weapons Features (Video)

The design of MCX Spear LT modification makes it easy to carry and transport a weapon, which makes it suitable for use in a variety of situations. French special forces will soon receive the latest Sig Sauer Mcx Spear Lt rifle. Weapons will be delivered to paratroopers and special forces specializing in sabotage operations in the rear of the enemy. This was reported on April 1 by Bulgarian Military Viewers with reference to sources at the France Ministry of Defense.

Currently on armed elite French troops are automatic GLOCK punks 17 and HK USP, HK LG40 grenade launchers, machine guns Minimi Caliber 5. 56 and 7. 62 mm, HK MP5 HK-MP5, and different rifles, such as Sako TRG and HK-417. Now the military leadership intends to equip fighters of special units with new small arms against the background of introduction of new parachute systems, which allow to overcome a distance of about 50 km with a load of up to 200 kg.

SIG SAUER MCX SPEAR LT is a modern rifle that is of low weight, the ability to adapt to different calibers and an exceptional modular design. The rifle automation is built on the basis of a gas piston with an upper arrangement and a short course. In this case, the gas block has a two -position adjustment so that the pressure can be increased if the automation does not work.

This design provides less contamination and increases the reliability of weapons, significantly reducing the need for regular maintenance. This variant of the carbine was developed under the standard NATO 5. 56x45 mm. The weapon is equipped with a free floating handle of M-LOK, an adjustable example, which is facing, as well as a full-size Picatin strap to attach optics and additional accessories. MCX Spear LT has a thin design that allows it to be attributed to a lighter class of rifles.

Despite the fact that platforms with a short -term gas system and with a strong trickle add weapons weight, the developers have tried to facilitate the rifle by facilitating the cuts in the frame box and a re -profiled trunk. Without a store it weighs about 3. 58 kg. With the fully pushed example, the length of the gun is about 90. 17 cm, but with an example, it decreases to 67. 31 cm. The design makes it easy to carry and transport the weapon, which makes it suitable for use in a variety of situations.

SPEAR LT variant is ambidextual - all controls are symmetrical. This allows both the shulgam and the right -handed to manipulate the fuse, as well as to lock and release the shutter, without removing the dominant hand from the gun handle. "The Sig Sauer McX-Spear-LT rifle is a top of innovations in the field of firearms, providing unsurpassed characteristics, increased accuracy and unsurpassed versatility," the developers say.
