The EMER K-1, sometimes known as the EMER K1Шаблон:Sfnp or EMERK-1,[1] was a prototype bullpup assault rifle made in Myanmar by the Electrical Mechanical and Engineering Corps (EMEC).[2] Reverse engineered in 1995 from the Chinese QBZ-97 assault rifle, the EMER K-1 was prone to stoppage.
History
The EMER K-1's development started after Ng Chung-Keung, a subsidiary of Chinese defense contractor Norinco, exported a batch of QBZ-97 assault rifles to Myanmar.[3][4] Norinco decided not to export any more QBZ-97s due to arms sanctions placed on the country.Шаблон:Sfnp Myanmar, in response, refused to return them and subsequently were used as the basis for reverse engineering studies.[5]
It was designed by EMEC engineers in 1995 with a batch of 15-16 firearms made for testing and evaluation.[6][1]
Some EMER-K1s were issued to elite Myanmar troops on guard duty at the Yadana gas field, according to Yangon-based diplomats in 1998.[1]Шаблон:Sfnp
The EMER-K1 was not adopted by the Tatmadaw due to various problems on reliability and multiple incidents of stoppages and gun jams.Шаблон:Sfnp The QBZ-97 was reexamined in order to reverse engineer it once again.[7] This time, the decision was made to use the QBZ-97 as the basis for the MA-1 MK III assault rifle family.[7]
Design
Reports suggested that the development of the EMER-K1 was made possible due to technical assistance from Singapore,[6] in violation of United Nations arms sanctions.Шаблон:Sfnp This was also made possible due to machinery allegedly supplied by Singapore.Шаблон:Sfnp
Construction of the EMER-K1s were done via stamping with all-metal bodies.[1][8] The design was based on other assault rifles like the SAR21, SA80, M16, IMI Tavor and the Steyr AUG.Шаблон:Sfnp
The EMER-K1's flash hider, carry handle, magazine housing, bayonet stud, sling swivels and flip aperture sights are based on the M16 series.[6] The pistol grip, trigger, trigger guard, stock and vent holes are based on the SA80 series.[6]
The rifle’s action appears to be based on the QBZ-95's gas piston.[6] The fire selector has three settings and is positioned on the left side behind the magazine well with the charging handle position on the right side.Шаблон:Sfnp
