M87 Machine Gun12.7x108mm for Navy

Machine Gun M87 – Tank version is formed when the Machine Gun M87 is set to Rotating base, which is assembled to the bell-shaped Mount.

The main purpose of M87 – Tank version is anti-aircraft action, but it is also used for ground and water targets, at distances up to 2000m.

The machine gun can be fixed to a boat of a vehicle by connecting the Mount to the foundation with screws. The machine gun can be assembled to the vehicle by direct connection through Rotating base, without the mount.

Rotating base can easily and quickly change elevation through elevation mechanisms and springs. Chosen position is fixed by a stop on the elevation device.

Aiming at air targets is done with a reflex anti-aircraft sight, placed on the rotating base, and at ground targets, aiming is done with front and rear iron sights.

The barrel is made by cold forging, which guarantees its durability and permanence. The interior of the barrel is chrome plated, which provides unaltered ballistic characteristics for several thousands of fired rounds.

The barrel is quickly and easily stripped from the light machine gun, so when the gun is heavily used it is possible to cool it quickly and replace it with the spare one. The set of the gun contains a spare barrel.

During the fire, cartridge cases are ejected forward, which increases the safety of the shooter and the people near him.

When conditions are extreme, the position of gas flow regulator can provide an adequate gas flow, so the light machine gun will always function reliably.

The machine gun is loaded from belts. The set of the gun includes belts and ammunition boxes for the transport of belts, with the capacity of 60 rounds.

Flash suppressor on the muzzle disperses powder gas and decreases the flash of the flame, hiding the position of the shooter.

At customer’s request, belt filler is supplied within the set of the machine gun. Manufacturer’s suggestion: one filler is used for three guns.
