HARMONY CITY, E.A. (July 24, 2007) - Sequoia Weaponworks, a wholly owned subsidary of Sequoia Defence Systems LLC of Etoile Arcture, is proud to introduce the MG70 Universal Machine Gun.
The MG70 Universal Machine Gun (UMG) is a gas piston-operated, lightweight automatic machine gun, constructed from high-tech carbon fibre reinforced polymers with chromed steel bolt, breech and barrel. The UMG concept is intended to replace the Squad Automatic Weapon (SAW) and General Purpose Machine Gun (GPMG) with a lighter weapon chambered for intermediate cartriges including 6.5 MPC and 6.5 Grendel.
The UMG is light enough to be fired from the hip, shoulder or bipod and provides the basis of fire for the infantry section. It is also capable of producing a large volume of effective fire versus light materiel targets and personnel when mounted on a tripod or pintle. The MG70 follows the same modular approach taken by the G500 Modular Weapon System (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=530272). MIL-STD-1913 Pictianny rails are molded onto the reciever and fore-end, and any number of tactical attachments from optics, iron sights, tactical iluminators and foregrips can be mounted.
TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION
The MG70 is an individually portable, gas operated, air-cooled, fully automatic, belt or magazine fed lightweight machine gun. The operating system is short stroke gas piston and fires from the open bolt with positive locking. Ammunition is fed from the left by a 100 round disintegrating split-link belt or a 200 round capacity polymer box magazine. The basic ammunition loadout is 600-900 rounds. The feed mechanism is housed inside the feed cover linked to the central section of the receiver. The feed cover and the ejection port are both protected by dust covers. Spent links and shells eject downwards to reduce visual signature.
The bore and breech are chrome lined, and there is a free-floating, non-fluted, no-tools quick change 4140 chrome-moly steel barrel. It has a fixed head space and three port flash hider, and is replaceable in only three seconds without tools. The weapon has a side-folding skeletonised buttstock and can be fired with the stock folded. By changing the barrel, feed cover and breech assemblies, locking shoulder and gas piston the MG70 is convertible between a variety of calibres. The standard configurations are 6.5 Grendel (model: MG70-M2-UMG) and 6.5 MPC (model: MG70-M2C-UMG).
The upper and lower receiver, buttstock and ventilated fore-end are constructed from carbon fibre reinforced polymers, with an internallly molded checker pattern to enhance strength. MIL-STD-1913 Picatinny rails are molded onto the upper receiver, and quadrant rails are molded on the fore-end. Optical sights can be mounted on the reciever rail, while standard sights comprise a rear adjustable tangent leaf and flip-up peep sight and a folding front hooded post, both with Tritium luminous dots for night shooting.
The operator controls are of identical design to those used on the G500 Modular Weapon System allowing for easy training conversion by personnel. These consist of a two-stage trigger and ambidextrous safety/selector switch modelled on Heckler & Kock designs. The trigger group allows to execute semi auto or automatic fire.
A collapsible bipod is attached to the gas block. The MG70 can be ground mounted for the sustained fire role on a lightweight tripod with traverse and elevation control mechanism, or pintle mounted on a vehicle.
