Rifles Descriptions

B&T APC556-PDW BT-36066

Light, short barrel assault rifles are a good choice for SWAT teams, urban warfare but also for general police work with regards to the actual terror threats. Unfortunately a short barrel produces an immense sound and light signature. The B&T APC556-PDW with integrated suppressor solves these disadvantages. The APC556-PDW is lightweight, compact 5.56 carbine an with an integrated suppressor. The barrel of the APC556-PDW is 222 mm long. A relatively short barrel such as this will normally produce a sound of more than 169 dB. This is not only very irritating during combat, but will also create permanent hearing loss to anyone in the immediate vicinity of the weapon. The suppressor will not only produce a reduction of about 20 dB, (148 dB) which is about 13 dB less than an unsuppressed 9 mm SMG (+/- 161 dB) but also reduce the muzzle fl ash significantly. Two-stage trigger. Piston rod operation. Dedicated sound suppressor. 100% ambidextrous controls. Hydraulic buffer for light recoil. Collapsable stock for easy transport. NAR-Rails at 3, 6, 9 o´clock position. Durable extruded aluminum upper receiver. Top rail extends the entire length of the receiver.

Bushmaster Gas Piston 90294

The Bushmaster Gas Piston System Rifles bring new levels of reliability to the “AR” type rifle platform by eliminating carbon build up, gas leaks and heat within the Upper Receiver. The Gas Piston System operates by tapping gas pressure off the barrel much like the systems found on AK-47s and FALs * Functions with a wider range of ammunition - less gas pressure - lower cyclic rate * Offers improved reliability and control - with cleaner operation and reduced recoil * Keeps carbon build up and powder residue from reaching - and fouling the Upper Receiver and Bolt Carrier * A Detented Plug in the Gas Block allows easy cleaning of the Systems’ Hard Chrome Plated Piston
