Grips, Trigger Piece, and Safety Latch Improvements In addition, the top cover can be closed lightly with the spring mechanism. However, holding the gun cover by one person eliminates the situation of the other person loading ammunition. In a very windy environment, the force of the cover will increase even more and it may cause serious harm to the user. While ammunition is being placed, if the top cover changes from open position to closed position, it harms the hand. When the top cover of the grenade launchers currently in use are opened, it can be closed with a light wind if it is not held by hand. Improvement to Keep the Top Cover Piece Stable in the Open Position With the Repkon Defense's design these issues have been addressed. All settings of the gun are corrupted and jams are often experienced. If the part of the arm that drives the bomb is positioned incorrectly on the weapon system (SARP), the top cover is closed and the system is started, all parts of the feed group, the transmission arm part, the vertical curved arm part are damaged. One of the most common mistakes made by users is incorrect positioning of the arm that drives the bomb and trying to install the weapon. Lever, Secondary Drive Positioning Warning These images are painted in colors to attract the attention of the user. ![]() In order to minimize user error, Repkon Defense's product includes images of SUITABLE and INCORRECT ammunition placement have been added in the TOP COVER piece. ![]() Errors caused by incorrect ammunition placement, especially in weapon systems such as SARP, cause much more damage to the weapon. Mistakes made while placing the ammunition on the firing bed cause damage especially to the feed group parts of the gun and the part of the arm that drives the bomb. With the design change made by Repkon Defense to the automatic grenade launcher, the user will be able to easily adjust the time setting up to 5 mm, this way the weapon will be used more effectively in the field.Ĭhanges Made to Prevent Error in Ammunition Placement In order to adjust the feeding time, the guns are directed either to the maintenance centers or to the higher-level main maintenance factory commands. The most important symptom that shows that the time setting should be checked and re-adjusted, especially in serial shots, frequently experiencing jams, the problem of not being able to properly drive the ammunition into the barrel chamber.Ĭorrection of the user level recharge time setting cannot be performed on existing weapons currently in use. The feeding time adjustment made during the production phase of the weapons needs to be re-adjusted over time. With the design change, both loss of parts and deformation as a result of vibration or misuse are prevented.Ĭhanges in the Feeder Adjustment by the User Repkon Defence's newly designed mechanical sight assembly uses fewer parts. As a result of incorrect use, deformation and loss of function occur in the parts. With the vibration that occurs during the operation of the gun, parts such as pins and screws that make up the sight assembly are displaced and lost over time. The mechanical sights of the 40 mm automatic grenade launchers in the inventory of Turkish Armed Forces consist of too many parts. Mechanical Sight / Sight Assembly Changes Here are the changes according to Repkon Defence: According to Repkon Defence these changes were made with the end operator in mind to improve field use. The 40 mm Automatic Grenade Launcher RDS40-AGL developed by Repkon Defence has important differences compared to equivalent 40 mm automatic grenade launchers in Turkish Armed Forces inventory. The weapon features a Picatinny rail for the mounting of additional sensors such as a thermal sight.Īt 39.6 lbs, the MK47 is significantly lighter than the 77 lb MK19.Repkon Defence introduced a new product today named RDS40-AGL, a 40 mm Automatic Grenade Launcher. The fire control system can be used to program PPHE grenades to air burst above the target - ideal for engaging troops sheltering behind cover. A AN/PWG-1 Lightweight Video Sight, linked to a ballistic computer and laser rangefinder, enables the operator to identify and accurately engage targets, day or night. The MK47 features an integrated computer assisted fire control systems and programmable ammunition. ![]() It is planned to eventually replace the MK19 grenade launcher with the new MK47. The MK47 is an advanced 40mm grenade launcher in use with US Special Operations Forces (SOF).
