FN FCU-850N

2012-05-29T13:29:00.000-07:00

Introduction

Successful target engagement with 40mm LV tube-launched grenades using leaf sight is not easy to achieve, even for an experienced operator:

The operator using leaf sights can only estimate the distance up to the target
Leaf sights have a very short line of sight (distance between front and back sights). This magnifies any aiming error.
Leaf sights have range setting every 25 or 50m, which does not make an accurate launch possible.

The solution is to replace leaf sights with a Fire Control Unit in order to maximize first-round hit probability.

FN Solution

FN Herstal has designed and developed a Fire Control Unit, the design of which fully answers the five critical questions for a successful launch of 40mm grenades, hence eliminating all factors likely to affect accuracy.

What is the precise range between the operator and the target?
The FN Fire Control Unit features a laser range finder which estimates precisely the range.
What is the elevation/depression angle between the operator and the target? The FN Fire Control Unit features a clinometer which measures the firing angle.
Which ballistic trajectory does the 40mm grenade follow during flight.
The FN Fire Control Unit features a ballistic computer which calculates the angle of launch.
What is the correct aiming point?
The FN Fire Control Unit features a moving red reticle sight which gives the correct aiming point.

Does weapon cant angle equal 0°? The FN Fire Control Unit features a weapon cant indicator. The red reticle flashes to indicate the operator needs to realign the weapon vertically. Red reticle flashes quickly or slowly if the operator needs to realign to the right or left respectively.

Operation

Press the + button to activate the FCU
Push on the remote LRF trigger
Aim at the target with the moving red recticle or with the rifle sight
The range is shown on the display screen when the remote trigger is released
The moving red reticle appears in the sight with the correct firing angle
Align the red reticle on the target
Fire

HP MKIII

2012-05-29T13:05:00.003-07:00

Introduction

The High Power MKIII is the world's famous handgun.

It is in service in more than 100 countries and has built its reputation on high quality and total reliability. It is the type of weapon that makes you feel secure because it will never let you down whatever the situation, and will help you accomplish your mission

Benefits

Fully Reliable, Totally Safe
By retaining the basic mechanism of the original HP handgun, the MKIII is fully reliable under all conditions. The simple mechanism ensures long part life and easy maintenance.

No less than five safety devices:

manual safety: allows the weapon to be carried fully safe
visible hammer: shows whether the weapon is cocked or not
half-cocked notch: catches the hammer if it slips (when cocking)
firing pin safety: prevents inadvertent firing if the weapon is dropped
magazine safety: disengages the trigger when the magazine is removed

Improved Design

Ergonomic grip: for quicker and better shooting.
It significantly improves handling and contribute to the shooter's comfort.
Ambidextrous safety: a second lever on the left-hand side allows easier use by left-handers. Both safety levers are larger which make them easier to operate.

A Dependable Weapon

Carried permanently in all conditions with limited cleaning, the MKIII, faithful to HP's legend, will deliver fast and reliable firepower from the 13-round magazine.

A careful study of balance between the weight of the handgun and recoil forces guarantees:

quick aiming
improved accuracy
better comfort
accurate rapid fire: designed for rapid acquisition of target on successive shots

Quick Aiming
The P90^®Standard is fitted with an integrated optical sight without magnification. The user can therefore shoot with both eyes open. Performance is fully retained in low light conditions thanks to a tritium capsule.

Easy to Carry
The compactness of the P90^®allows easy movement in confined areas. The magazine is fully integrated in the upper part of the P90^®for optimized ergonomics.

Fully Ambidextrous
The cocking handle and magazine catch can be operated from both sides of the P90^®. The fire selector is under the trigger and can be operated in either hand. Empty cartridge cases are ejected downwards. The P90^®can therefore be handled by right- and left-handed operators without any modification.
