La compa\u00f1\u00eda estadounidense KNIGHT Armament present\u00f3 un nuevo supresor de sonido para su empleo en ametralladoras livianas calibre 5.56mm. Se trata de un peque\u00f1o y muy eficiente sistema, de gran utilidad para \u201cocultar\u201d la posici\u00f3n de las armas autom\u00e1ticas de apoyo. Esta compa\u00f1\u00eda ha desarrollado adem\u00e1s un modelo de ametralladora denominada Light Assault Machine Gun que pesa s\u00f3lo 4 kg y que si bien tiene por una menor cadencia de fuego, asegura mayor precisi\u00f3n gracias a un mejor control del arma en el disparo.<\/p>\n

Knight\u2019s Armament Company of Titusville, Florida, unveiled a new suppressor at this year\u2019s Special Operations Forces Industry Conference where members of the SOF community get to interact with vendors and industry partners to preview and try out the latest and greatest in special operations kit and gear.<\/p>\n
KAC\u2019s suppressor is\u00a0designed primarily to be used\u00a0<\/a>with the company\u2019s premier belt-fed Light Assault Machine Gun platform, chambered for 5.56 NATO and marketed more towards the SOF and private military contractor communities than to conventional infantry forces.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n True to its name, the LAMG is indeed very light, weighing only 8.6 pounds unloaded. In comparison, the M249 Squad Automatic Weapon weighs in at 17 pounds unloaded.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n According to KAC, one of the LAMG\u2019s biggest selling points is its ability to put down a high volume of fire with a low cyclic rate of just around 575-625 rounds per minute, allowing the end user to maintain a greater degree of\u00a0control over the weapon<\/a>\u00a0and concentrate accurate fire on target.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The suppressor, delivered in kit form, mounts to a threaded barrel included in the kit, and makes heavy use of a unique Pressure Reduction Technology system, which vents the gasses from each shot forward, preventing the gas from venting backwards into the shooter\u2019s face.<\/p>\n Additionally — and probably its best feature — the PRT system allows the LAMG to keep its factory cyclic rates during sustained fire without any major dips.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The LAMG is currently available to defense buyers, which means that the new suppressor will likely only be targeted towards military sales. At the moment, US SOCOM doesn\u2019t list the LAMG in its belt-fed arsenal, though it\u2019s possible that there are foreign SOF units that make use of KAC\u2019s innovative light machine gun platform, and might potentially avail of a sustained fire suppressor.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n
