Английская Википедия:Cyclone (rifle)
Шаблон:Infobox weapon The Cyclone is a series of three bolt action rifles created by British company Steel Core Designs: the LSR, which fires 7.62x51mm NATO, the MSR, which fires .338 Lapua Magnum (8.6x70mm) and the HSR, which fires .50 BMG (12.7x99mm). Cyclone rifles are primarily designed for military use, and have seen limited usage by military and law enforcement units since 2017 in marksman roles.[1]
Design
Cyclone rifles come pre-fitted with certain attachments and match grade parts to help maximise accuracy and general performance.[2] Some of these include, but are not limited to:
- 600mm Picatinny rail
- Four-lug rotating bolt[3]
- Match grade barrel
- Fitted with a muzzle brake by default
- Fully adjustable bipod
- Low friction and corrosion-resistant coating
- Two-stage trigger
- High tensile steel receiver
Usage
In the contemporary conflicts in Iraq and Syria, soldiers belonging to the Islamic State have used vehicle borne improvised explosive devices (VBIEDs), to which, anti materiel rifles, such as the Cyclone HSR are used as a cheap alternative to ATGMs.[1] Cyclone rifles are also sold on the civilian market.[4]
