Bunch of informaton from FB Łucznik-Radom MSBS in 2014 went through certification tests in exter- nal certification center, models were tested accordingly defense standards. Certification test were conducted by WITU research lab and relied on conducting series of tests confirming durability and proper functionality of the weap- on. Research of prototypes relied on verification of parame- ters in compliance with terms of technical specs reference in terms of development part and were carried out under the supervision of armed forces and were carried out in ex- ternal laboratories and FB Radom. Rifles tested with local and foreign-made ammunition has to fulfill requirements of: general in accordance with complete set and general technical requirements, weapon shooting in extreme con- ditions to determine resistance for influence of environ- mental factors, shooting weapon in standard conditions and weapon safety. Tests that are currently conducted in- side the military units are carrying out by inside research program and procedures that are not agreed with FB. It has to be clearly indicated that those are cognitive tests. Currently tests are underway and we cannot objectively evaluate obtained information and remarks. Received par- tial information are very positive. Information from testers concern, for example, moving sling mount placed on the rail, conflict information were about size of safety lever switch (some want it bigger, other small- er) developing safety with 90° span for single fire and 45° for continuous fire and adding more rails to hand guard. As testers informed, Grot rifles have lot of advantages: easy to operate and absorption of new habits, easy to config- ured for left-handed shooters and full ambidextrous, good ergonomics, great reliability (some of them does not clean the weapon through all 5,000-7,000 shots) and most off all - great accuracy. www.fragoutmag.com
