HARMONY CITY, E.A. (July 24, 2007) - Sequoia Weaponworks, a wholly owned subsidary of Sequoia Defence Systems LLC of Etoile Arcture, announced today the introduction of the newest entry into their small arms range, the G580 Advanced Combat Rifle.
The new weapon is a gas operated bullpup assault rifle using a full length action, derived from the G500 Assault/Battle Rifle (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=530272), housed inside a compact polymer stock. The first models will be chambered for the 6.5 MPC and 6.5 Grendel intermediate cartridges with further calibres to be announced. Features include a free-floating barrel and patent-pending recoil damping system for increased accuracy and durability, and molded MIL-STD-1913 Picatinny rails to mount accessories including optics and underbarrel grenade launchers.
The G580 ACR will provide the infantry man or woman of your military with a compact and reliable tool that can be used as a Personal Defence Weapon (PDW), Close Quarters Battle (CQB) and lightweight infantry rifle.
TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION
THe G580 Advanced Combat Rifle is an an air cooled, gas piston operated, selective fire bullpup automatic rifle based on the action of the G500 Assault/Battle Rifle. The rifle can be chambered for the 6.5x39 mm Grendel cartridge (model: G580-M2 ACR) among others, but is optimised for 6.5x42 mm MPC (model: G580-M2C) fed from a 30 round capacity STANAG 4179 stamped aluminium magazine.
There is no seperate reciever, with the action housed in a single piece carbon fibre reinforced polymer shroud with internal molded checkering to enhance strength. It has a oversized thumbhole stock and trigger guard for use with gloves or mittens, with an ambidextrous fire mode selector/safety switch located above the pistol grip. Both the bolt, charging handle and ejector port are left and right side swappable for full ambidextrity.
The housing itself is a clamshell type secured by two steel cross bolts with a hinged buttplate that can be swung down for internal inspection and disassembly. It contains the G500 series action including polygonal breech, free-floating barrel, bolt carrier group and firing pin, all constructed from 4140 chrome-moly high tensile steel.
An innovative patent-pending elastomeric recoil damping system is fitted against the buttplate, consisting layers of stacked phenyl silicone discs separated by ultra-thin aluminium plates. These absorb recoil impulses making the weapon accurate and hightly controllable in full auto.
Four-quadrant MIL-STD-1913 Picatinny rails are molded directly into the flanks and over the upper (full length) and lower (half length) ventilated ribs of the weapon. The flat-top rail is typically occupied by the Emerson Optronics XM716 SPECTRA reflex sight. This is a combined collimated red dot (reflex) sight with integral Class IIIa 650nM visible light laser diode with a daylight range of 30 metres and low-light range of 450 metres. An Enhanced Grenade Launcher Module can also be mounted on the rails.
