"The best machine gun in the world" from the Singapore company ST Kinetics
Machine gun Ultimax 100 Mk8

Ultimax 100 Mk8 is based on the Mk5 model, but differs from it in the presence of a semi-automatic fire mode, a quick barrel change system and other “cosmetic” changes. At ST Kinetics, this machine gun is called "unparalleled in the field." So, the Ultimax 100 models are equipped with a patented impact reduction system and other technologies to increase accuracy and firepower, ”the resource says.

Machine gun weight - about 5 kg, caliber - 5,56 mm, equipped with interchangeable magazines with a capacity of 100 and 200 cartridges. Also compatible with NATO magazines rifles caliber 5,56 mm (M4, M16 and other models). The machine gun can be equipped with 508, 457 and 330 barrels, mm, the effective range of fire - about 800 m for cartridge SS109.

It is noted that the new modification of the machine gun Ultimax 100 "with a telescopic butt, a gas piston stroke adjustment system, improved ergonomics and a quick barrel change system (in combat conditions it takes about 10 seconds) is significantly superior to previous developments."



The company expects the Ultimax 100 Mk8 to be one of the most sought-after light machine guns on the world market.

              Well, the fact that you don’t know this does not mean that it doesn’t exist. For a start, you should familiarize yourself with the subject, while India is one of the very tidbits for all arms manufacturers, since they are bought in large amounts, including for Russia. they’re even fighting for Indian orders. At the same time, Indians are very picky. By the way, Tavor as a small arms also has very good reviews and is exported to many countries. Maybe you haven’t heard about ultrasound too? The most widespread submachine gun in the world, by the way.

By the way, you can use not only the tape, but also standard stores from M-16, which is a big plus. As well as the opportunity to work single shots. The rest of the characteristics are also at a very high level. And the caliber is universal NATO. So, as I said, it is one of the best.

    This garbage is against the Papuans.
    The army, in the assault squads, use bulletproof vests that cover well from these 5,56mm bullets (you can quickly kill only by hitting the face).
    We need machine guns with greater energy to reliably defeat the enemy in modern bulletproof vests and at great distances.
    For the armament of mobile equipment (tanks, armored personnel carriers, infantry fighting vehicles, cars, ...), a 9mm caliber with an energy of about 6000J is very obvious. It will break through armor plates over the entire distance of a real shot.
    For infantry you need an 8mm machine gun with an energy of about 4500J. Also cope with the bronik, but at close range.
    The Americans are already making 8,6x65 machine guns.

      These bullets replaced 7.62 as more effective.
      An article about light machine guns. Their task is the dense separation fire.
      So that the remaining arrows under cover could calmly conduct aimed fire
      from assault rifles.
      And 7,62 machine guns are difficult to carry, and relatively few rounds can be taken on.
      Large caliber machine guns are no longer tame, but turret.

        If it was about 6,5x50, I would somehow agree with you ...
        But the appearance of 5,56 is due precisely to a decrease in recoil (shot energy) for more accurate shooting (comfortable). Kalashnikov similarly led to 5,45. But then there was no worked out personal armor protection.

        And they are always lurking, thanks to their power of shot and good reliability of defeat. Like a sniper, the machine gunner is necessarily included in the battle group, which helps the machine gunner.
        Modern machine guns (5,45 and 5,56), more perform the functions of short incapacitation of the enemy (leg arms). After anesthesia and dressing, there is a high probability of continued activity. But 7,62x51OTAN and 7,62x54R also do not penetrate modern body armor. We need cartridges with more energy and there will be a stronger specialization to increase the mass-efficiency ratio.

          And you yourself have an experience of activity after hitting a leg or another part of the body, a bullet that is not covered by the armor.

          But the appearance of 5,56 is due precisely to a decrease in recoil (shot energy) for more accurate shooting (comfortable). Kalashnikov similarly led to 5,45.

          Well, here I said.

          If a 5,56 mm bullet hits a distance of about 450 m, you can safely say goodbye to you on the spot with your thigh. The same thing will happen when a bullet hits 5,45 mm, but at a distance of about 350m.

          After anesthesia and dressing, there is a high probability of continued activity.

          Yeah. This is only if the injury is right through or tangentially. In other cases, there will already be no one to bandage (see above).

      Nope. The cartridge is different so the performance characteristics will be noticeably different.
