Shop Show 23 – 5.56mm Evolys Machine Gun from FN
Wednesday, October 18th, 2023Launched in May of 2021, the Evolys machine gun from Fabrique National was originally available in 7.62 NATO and later introduced in .264. Now, they’ve added a 5.56mm model.
This belt-fed weighs 12 lbs and offers all of the features of its bigger brother like side loading. It’s also fully compatible with existing M249 and Mk46 ammo boxes.
What you see here is the Rest of World configuration with SCAR Stock and unique trigger pack. The US variant will offer alternate stocks and the same trigger pack from the LICC program. The optic and MagPod seen here were added only as examples of accessories which can be added to the gun.
The gun is in production and has been delivered to European customers for evaluation.
Shop Show 23 – Multi-Function Muzzle Device from Strategic Sciences
Wednesday, October 18th, 2023Developed under a contract with the the Irregular Warfare Technology Support Directorate (IWTSD), this new suppressor technology from Strategic Sciences is unlike anything you’ve ever seen.
This two-piece design has been kept under wraps during development and is the brainchild of Russ Oliver who originally founded OSS Suppressors before moving on to Strategic Sciences. In addition to offering a unique form factor, the flow through suppressor design is 3D printed with the muzzle device attached over the barrel and the suppressor module latched into place in front of the muzzle device. (Yes, ATF is going to call both components suppressors, but this was developed for a military requirement, not commercial sale). Since the muzzle device fits over the barrel, it can’t be used with every rifle configuration.
Word has it this technology works very well. It’s available in 5.56, 7.62 and .338 variants. Below you can see some basic, releasable data on each of the models developed so far with different weapons.
IWTSD is a government office, which is responsible for conducting research and development in support of U.S. and allied organizations involved in Irregular Warfare. Although this includes Special Operations Forces (SOF), there is a variety of other government agencies with IW responsibilities who share mutual needs within this realm. IWTSD works with academia and industry to develop new advanced capabilities. Originally known as the Combating Terrorism Technical Support Office (CTTSO), the name was changed to IWTSD, under the Assistant Secretary of Defense Special Operations / Low Intensity Conflict (ASD SO/LIC) in 2021.
Look for more information on this line of suppressors soon.
