VisTec 'Biohazard' LAC

(please watch in all sizes!)

 

VisTec's new Light Autocannon or "LAC" project fires high-explosive, armour-piercing .338 Lapua rounds. Therefore the only existing prototype is called "Biohazard" - because where this beast hits, nothing will ever grow there again.

 

The "Biohazard" features

 

- an experimental Carl Zeiss Jena scope / targeting computer with added red dot sight.

 

- an internally damped buttstock (without this damping system, the weapon would be even more uncomfortable to fire, especially on Full Auto)

 

- an externally damped bipod, as already featured in the CompaX-Series.

 

- an actively / passively cooled firing mechanism. The actively working system cools the barrel with nitrogen, the passively working system consists of special vents. Soldiers and employees testing the prototype are strictly ordered to wear gloves!

 

- a heavy duty barrel. Firing the weapon on Full Auto generates extreme heat. To keep the durability of the weapon the barrel is coated with a secret alloy.
