IME MD Caiman

Light machine gun chambered in 9x36mm MSV, a slow and heavy type of intermediate round. Manufacted by Brazil's Military Institute of Engineering (IME) under the codename "Caiman".

 

This machine gun uses light composite materials to reduce its overall weight. It is belt-fed and comes with a standard 75-round box.

 

A mechanism in the receiver allows for the use to unlock the barrel assembly and let it slide out of the handguard, being an efficient method to change overheated barrels.
