THANKS TO THE COMPANY, WE HAD A PLEASURE TO VISIT THE MANUFACTURING PLANT, SHOOT THE RIFLES AND MEET THE ENGINEERS BEHIND THEM. 20 www.fragoutmag.com www.fragoutmag.com 21 The history of SKW rifles (Samopowtrzalny FIREARMS Karabin Wyborowy, the Semi-automatic Sniper Rifle or Semi-Automatic Designated Marksman Rifle) starts somewhere around 2010-2011, when the OBR SM company (in 2012 merged with ZM Tarnów) launched a development program for bull-pup .338 Lapua Magnum semi-automatic sniper rifle. The functional model of weapon was displayed during the MSPO 2012 (see the photos). It was kind of big news then, mostly because its futuristic design and color, like First Order stormtroopers guns. The idea of bull-pup and semi-automatic snip- er rifle in this caliber was raising discussions. It should be noted, that bull-pup design was distinctive for the ZM Tarnów (or ZMT in short) sniper rifles of that time, such as Tor and Bor sniper rifles adopted by Polish Armed Forces. The bull-pup rifle didn’t last for long as it wasn’t displayed ever again. The company decided to launch new program, now in more classic de- sign, based on AR-10 layout. Engineers responsible for “new” .338 SKW are Roman Uznanski and Rafal Szela. The ri- fle is the own project of the company, but in meantime the Polish Army launch the analyt- ical program to find replacement for old and worn-out Dragunov SVD rifles chambered in an- tique 7.62x54R caliber. The decision to devel- op scaled-down SKW in 7.62x51 NATO caliber (.308 Win) was made. The .308 variant quickly became priority one. It appeared that new rifle can be easily scaled down and then converted to other calibers, leaving open possibilities for future different caliber versions. The outcome of the works were the rifles unveiled during the MSPO 2018. The ZMT announced that in 2019 they will reach the final phase. Currently, the scheduled end of in-factory trials of .308 SKW is end of March 2019. Trials include testing of: Finally, assembly of prototype batch and documents Performance of barrel, bolt and barrel attachment during live fire Basic characteristics of the weapon Performance and durability in different environmental conditions Resistance to weather, wearing and use Resistance to fuels, oils and cleaning agents Ergonomics Durability and lifespan Safety Unification of parts and inter-compatibility. 22 www.fragoutmag.com www.fragoutmag.com 23 FIREARMS After test completed, the manufacturing of pre-production batch will be launched. This batch is expected to be made and tested in June-July 2019. ZMT will be able to launch full-scale production af- terwards. What is important for sport shooters, the new rifle will be available for commercial sales im- mediately. This is a semi-automatic only rifle, so no changes will be required. DESIGN SKW is air-cooled, gas operated short-stroke piston rifle. The bolt has eight lugs. The ejection port is on the right and it cannot be moved to left side. The ejec- tion port has no dust cover as the bolt carrier in for- ward position almost completely covers the port. The bolt locks back after last round. Both SKW .308 and SKW .338 are semi-automatic rifles, but ZMT will offer .338 variant in select-fire as an option. The 7075 aircraft-grade aluminum upper receiver features full-length monolithic MIL-STD-1913 rail. SKW .308 has 560 mm long rail and SKW .338 comes with 740 mm rail. This allows to mount high-pow- ered scopes, night vision and thermal clip-ons and other accessories. The scope mount should have 20-30 MOA cant. The non-adjustable cant mounts are recommended. The vented aluminum handguard features M-LOK attachment systems slots on sides and bottom. Oth- er attachment systems such as KeyMod might be an option if required. Handguard has also a series of holes in bottom part to shave off the weight and im- prove the ventilation. Their shape follows the shape of ZMT logo. 24 www.fragoutmag.com www.fragoutmag.com 25 SKW has free-floated fluted barrels available in 16” (406 mm), instead of 16” barrel is also being considered, but this decision 20” (508 mm) for .308 and 26” (660 mm) for .338LM.

  • USA M14 Rifle
    USA M14 Rifle The M14 rifle, officially the United States Rifle, Caliber 7.62 mm, M14, is an American select-fire battle rifle that fires 7.62×51mm NATO (.308 in) ammunition. It became the standard-issue rifle for the U.S. military in 1959 replacing the M1 Garand rifle in the U.S. Army by 1958 and the U.S. Marine Corps by 1965 until being replaced by the M16 rifle beginning in 1968. The M14 was used by U.S. Army, Navy, and Marine Corps for basic and advanced individual training (AIT) from the mid-1960s to the early 1970s. The M14 was developed from a long line of experimental weapons based upon the M1 Garand rifle. Although the M1 was among the most advanced infantry rifles of the late 1930s, it was not an ideal weapon. Modifications were already beginning to be made to the basic M1 rifle's design during the last months of World War II. Changes included adding fully automatic firing capability and replacing the eight-round en bloc clips with a detachable box magazine holding 20 rounds. Winchester, Remington, and Springfield Armory's own John Garand offered different conversions. Garand's design, the T20, was the most popular, and T20 prototypes served as the basis for a number of Springfield test rifles from 1945 through the early 1950s Production contracts Initial production contracts for the M14 were awarded to the Springfield Armory, Winchester, and Harrington & Richardson. Thompson-Ramo-Wooldridge Inc. (TRW) would later be awarded a production contract for the rifle as well.

  • Italy's Contribution to the Mexican Powder
    Italy’s contribution to the Mexican powder keg Most small arms and light weapons imported into Mexico come from the United States, but most of the rest are manufactured in Italy. In the last twelve years, Italy has been the second largest exporter of non-military guns, rifles and ammunition in Mexico, far ahead of other important exporters such as the Czech Republic, Spain, France, Austria, Belgium, South Korea, and Israel. On average, Italian companies have sold and shipped ten thousand pistols and revolvers and 1,100 rifles to the Mexican market every year for the past twelve years. Many Italian ‘civilian weapons’ have been also sold to Colombia and Guatemala, probably feeding the grey and black market. In the same period of 2007-2018, Mexico has been the second largest Latin American customer of military weapons produced in Italy, after Brazil. Apart from major weapons systems produced by Leonardo, Beretta group dominates Italian military exports to Mexico: in the same twelve-year period, it sold at least 50 million euros worth of weapons (data is in round figures because Italian government reports on military exports are tricky to interpret). What did the Beretta group sell to Mexican armed forces? - More than 17,150 SCP 70/90 automatic assault - 303 Sako TRG 22 sniper rifles; rifles (5.56x45 NATO caliber), and 23,000 spare parts for these rifles, in particular ammunition - 3,030 guns (40 caliber); magazines of 30 rounds, since the rifle can fire - 505 rifles (22LR caliber); 670 rounds per minute at a distance of up to 300 meters; - 505 guns (22LR caliber); - More than 19,000 ARX 160 assault rifles - 13,130 guns (9x19 mm caliber); (5.56x45 NATO caliber) and 16,000 spare parts; - 2,020 guns (9 caliber short or .380 auto); - 650 GLX 160 grenade launchers, adaptable to - 1,010 Stoeger rifles (12 caliber).

IDENTIFYING CRITERIA TO PREDICT ARMY RIFLE MARKSMANSHIP PROFICIENCY by Katlin Makina Anglin A Thesis Submitted to the Department of Human Factors in the College of Arts and Science in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University Daytona Beach, Florida September 2018 iii DEDICATION To my family, who have shown me that giving up is not an option and provided me the strength to see this through. You all are my rock. iv ABSTRACT Researcher: Katlin Makina Anglin Title: Identifying Criteria to Predict Army Rifle Marksmanship Proficiency Institution: Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University Degree: Doctor of Philosophy in Human Factors Year: 2018 The United States Army requires each Soldier to develop marksmanship proficiency in an effort to achieve combat readiness. Soldiers currently develop marksmanship proficiency through Basic Rifle Marksmanship (BRM) training, but significant skill deficiencies are apparent at the end of training. These skill deficiencies remain throughout training because instructors rarely assess Soldiers objectively before the final qualification, reducing the opportunity for instructors to diagnose skill deficiencies until it is too late.
