The OCSW is an ultra-light, two-man portable, crew-served weapon system incorporating state-of-the-art electronics, advanced materials, and small arms technologies. This unique weapon permits a high probability of incapacitation and suppression of enemy soldiers up to 2000 meters away and has a high potential to damage lightly armored vehicles, water craft, and slow-moving aircraft beyond 1000 meters. The OCSW is the potential replacement weapon for the 40mm MK19 Grenade Machine Gun and the caliber .50 M2 Machine Gun. This makes it great for mounting on vehicles, like my M113A5
The Objective Crew Served Weapon fires up to 260 25 mm rounds per minute in either automatic or semi-automatic mode. The trajectory of the rounds are flatter than the MK-19 which brings more rounds on target faster. The weapon has dual hand grips which allow the gun to be raised or lowered and moved laterally with a touch of a button. This means the gunner never has to take his hands off of the weapon. It uses a Direct View Optics similar to the OICW. The biggest advantage over the MK-19 is the weight. A MK-19 weighs about 140 pounds, while the OCSW weighs 32 pounds with the tripod. Its light-weight could increase the number of mission roles the OCSW could handle over the MK-19. A two man team could easily carry it into combat and it takes about 30-45 seconds to set up
The 25mm OCSW System is a next generation infantry weapon providing accurate, long range, high explosive, airburst firepower in a compact, self-contained, light weight package. The system consists of an advanced weapon and mount, a target acquisition/fire control system, and advanced ammunition. The OCSW has high potential for widespread use as a primary or secondary armament for a variety of vehicles and can be quickly dismounted and put into action on the ground. The 25mm system has a full solution fire control system including a laser range finder and a day/night sight. It delivers a highly lethal and suppressive fire out to 2,000 meters against personnel targets, light material targets and vehicles.
Cost: 10,000 USD
