Due to obvious reasons those
rifles are heavier. 20 inch barrel
version weights little under 5 kilo-
grams and 16 inch version around
4.2 kilograms, so they are plainly
heavier than carbines, and notice
that we are talking here about
weight of the weapon itself. Our
sport GROT S16FB-M1 with EO-
Tech EXPS-3 & EOTech G33 com-
bo and full 30 round magazine
weights about 4.6 – 4.7 kilograms.
After adding to rifles, optics, bipod
and ammunition their total weight
will increase significantly, but af-
ter all this is rifle that fires power-
ful rifle round (enough to mention
similar rifle HK G28 DMR in "stan-
dard" and "patrol" configuration).
Currently there are two styles of
triggers used. First is foreign com-
mercial one and the second is mod-
ified MSBS-5,56 trigger. Eventually,
the MSBS-7,62N trigger will be ex-
changeable with commercial AR-
style trigger as they will just use
common casing. Safety lever for
commercial trigger will be different.
Both MSBS-7,62N versions are
developed as semi-automatic fire-
arms but engineer's state, that they
can without any problem develop
full-auto versions if such will be
required. This could be a chance to
create a Polish equivalent for SCAR
H and L rifles that complement mu-
tually. Experiences from Afghani-
stan showed soldiers lack of range
and accuracy using 5.56 rounds.
