FN Herstal Unveils New Weapon Mount for Land and Sea Platforms
FN Herstal recently announced that its new Multi Weapon Mount has been fully MIL-STD certified and is ready for service. It joins a range of high-performance products in FN Herstal’s Air, Land and Sea Weapon Systems catalogue.
The weapon interface can be adapted in minutes to take different calibre weapons:
12.7x99mm NATO (.50 Cal) heavy machine guns (FN M2HB-QCB), 7.62x51mm NATO medium machine guns (FN MAG 58M/infantry, FN M240 D, H and L), and 40mm Automatic Grenade Launcher (MK19 AGL).
The FN MWM, which was developed, tested and qualified in a collaborative project between FN Herstal and FNH UK, includes a hydraulic buffer system that ensures optimal weapon performance in all conditions and at all firing angles while minimising the effects of recoil on the platform and to the user.
The weapon mount is fully mechanical, so it is not dependent on electrical power from the carrier. It has a range of options that includes weapon-specific adaptors (for FN MAG, FN M240 and MK19), ballistic protection, links and cases collector and a shoulder bar.
