WEAPON INTRO

In 1976 a shortened version of the MP5A2 was introduced; the MP5K was designed for close quarters battle use by clandestine operations and special services. The MP5K does not have a shoulder stock (the receiver end was covered with a flat end cap, featuring a buffer on the inside and a sling loop on the outside), and the bolt and receiver were shortened at the rear. The resultant lighter bolt led to a higher rate of fire than the standard MP5. The barrel, cocking handle and its cover were shortened and a vertical foregrip was used to replace the standard handguard. The barrel ends at the base of the foresight, which prevents the use of any sort of muzzle device.

The MP7 is a German submachine gun manufactured by Heckler & Koch (H&K) and chambered for the 4.6x30mm cartridge. It was designed in conjunction with the new cartridge to meet NATO requirements published in 1989 calling for a personal defense weapon (PDW) class firearm with a greater ability to defeat body armor than current weapons, which are limited due to the use of conventional pistol cartridges. The MP7 went into production in 2001. It is a direct rival to the FN P90, also developed in response to NATO's requirement. The weapon has been revised since its introduction and the current production version is the MP7A1.

Cobray likes to pimp itself as the company that made the 80’s roar with the MAC-10 and MAC-11. But in a day of “tactical” firearms, the MAC-11 is an outdated subgun with a punishing rate of fire and an awkward configuration. Enter Lage Mfg and their MAX-11 “slowfire” upper for the MAC-11, along with a selection of accessories designed to bring the 80’s subgun to a competition-worthy level.

 When I read TPS, I think of cover sheets and Office Space. This is FN’s TPS - The Tactical Police Shotgun. A 12 gauge pump-action shotgun designed to feel similar to the M-16 in handling, the TPS is a variable-choke 7-shot 12 gauge with folding stock and M-1913 rail familiar to most shooters of standard military firearms. Shown here with the pipe stock extended and a reflex sight on the top rail, the TPS is available with the 18″ barrel show, as well as a shorter 14″.

The AS50 is a .50 BMG sniper/anti-materiel rifle manufactured by British firearms producer Accuracy International. The AS50 enables operators to engage targets at very long range with high accuracy using explosive or incendiary ammunition. The AS50 employs a gas operated semi-automatic action and muzzle brake, allowing for lower recoil than the AW50 bolt action rifle and faster target acquisition. The rifle is highly transportable, ergonomic and lightweight.

The rifle has an accuracy of 1.5 MOA. The barrel is free floated. The two-part machined steel receiver features an integral accessory rail for the mounting of optical sights. Two additional rails are mounted on the sides of the short barrel shroud. An adjustable bipod and rear support leg/hand grip allow for stable shooting. This weapon can accurately engage targets at over a 1.5 mile distance.The AS50 weighs 14.1 kg empty and holds 5 rounds of .50 BMG in a single stack removable box magazine

The M82 (also sometimes designated by the military as the M107) is a recoil-operated, semi-automatic anti-materiel rifle developed by the American Barrett Firearms Manufacturing. A heavy SASR (Special Application Scoped Rifle), it is used by many units and armies around the world. It is also called the "Light Fifty" for its .50 caliber BMG (12.7 mm) chambering. The weapon is found in two variants—the original M82A1 (and A3) and the bullpup M82A2. The M82A2 is no longer manufactured, though the XM500 can be seen as its successor, in that it also employs a bullpup configuration.

The Barrett Model 82 is the most recognized 50 caliber anti-material rifle in the world. In 2005 the US Army officially designated a version of the M82 the M107 and approved it for full material release. The M107 fires a variety of .50BMG rounds and has a listed range of 1,500m, with record shots at the 2,500m range. It is a heavy semi-automatic shoulder-fired sniper rifle designed for an anti-material role.

A commercial development of the "new" M107, the M107CQ is specifically designed where the firepower of a .50 caliber rifle is required, but the bulk of the M82/M107 series prevents the weapon from being used. The M107CQ is 9" shorter in overall length (all in the barrel) and 5 pounds lighter than the M107. According to the manufacturer the M107CQ is suitable for use in helicopters, force protection watercraft, tactical scout land vehicles, and as an urban soldier's combat multiplier for close quarter battles.
