New assault rifle from Poland T he MWS-15 is a little broth- er of earlier .308 MWS-25 and .338 MWS-38 semi-au- tomatic battle rifles/DMR rifles developed by the engineers from Zakłady Mechaniczne Tarnów (Tarnów Metalworks, ZM Tarnów or ZMT in short) defense industry company from Poland, known ear- lier from their proprietary bull-pup sniper rifles. T he MWS-15, currently cham- bered in 5.56x45 NATO and .300 Blackout (and probably other calibers soon) is essentially a scaled-down MWS-25. The de- signers firstly developed a full- size battle rifle (as a potential replacement of the Soviet-design SVD sniper rifles in Polish Armed Forces) in both rifle rounds vari- ants and after successful tests ul- timately decided to scale it down for intermediate rounds. According to officially available data, 74% of parts are interchangeable between MWS-15 and MWS-25. The other parts are similar in the shapes but obviously smaller hence propri- etary to assault rifle. FIREARMS
