Handguards are available in both
M-LOK and KeyMod f but the ZMT
is able to provide other options if
required (like quad Picatinny rails).
What makes the handguard unique
is the skeletonized design with tri-
angle vent holes patterned after
the ZMT logo (BTW, latest FN EVOL-
YS, unveiled in early 2021 machine
gun features similar design, but
the MWS had this feature in 2019
already).
Lower receivers of select-fire and
semi-automatic versions will be
slightly different internally to make
the illegal conversion to fully-au-
tomatic impossible. There will be
one more bar inside and the shape
of the inside will be altered. Most
probably, the bolt carriers will be
slightly different too. MWS-15 are
fed from standard STANAG mag-
azines and are compatible with
most popular ones such as Mag-
puls, Lancers, steel and aluminum
mags.
All MWS rifles, including MWS-
15, are fully ambidextrous and will
be comfortable and easy to use by
both left- and right-handed shoot-
ers. Magazine release lever, bolt
catch lever and safety switches
are doubled. The charging lever is
essentially on one side of the gun
but might be quickly moved to the
other (even in field).
The rear part of the receiver is
the stock adapter and buffer tube
attachment. Due the short-stroke
piston and bolt carrier group with
recoil spring completely encased
inside the receiver the tube is only
