The whole turret weighs less than 270 kg, its deck interface diameter being 820 15°/+50° the training speed is 60°/s while acceleration is 150°/s 2. Turrets this version has a ☑55° training range, while its elevation is Inner Reloading has 100 rounds ready to fire, but as said the crew can easilyĪdd further belts from inside the boat. Until the last round, however it is then necessary to reload above deck. That stops the ammunition belt when only few rounds are left, allowing to shoot In case of need the operator can override the system Lionfish turret is located on the bow and the vessel operates in heavy sea An opening under the turret allows the operator to link the newĪmmunition belt to the one nearly empty, an utmost important feature when the Reload the ammunition from under deck, a feature also available on the land (for Naval) the latter key characteristic was that it allowed the crew to Lionfish Inner Reloading has a very close resemblance to the former Hitrole N The FN M2HB QCB manufactured by FN Herstal of Belgium, while one is armed withĪ 20 mm cannon, the KAE gun from Rheinmetall Defence firing the 20×128 mm The four Lionfish family NRWS are armed with a 12.7×99 mm machine gun, usually Target can easily merge with the background. Sites Leonardo engineers optimised tracking algorithms, improving target dataĪccuracy even when dealing with coastal type operational scenarios, where the To fully exploit the performances of the new optronic Now a single alignment operation is required for all three optronic systems,ĭay, thermal and LRF.
#COLIBRI GUN PLUS#
Another plus compared to previous Hitrol turrets is that While the day sensor provides ranges of 9.5, 4.8 and 2.7 km, against a 2.3×2.3 Identification ranges (D/R/I) at night are respectively 6.3, 3.0 and 1.5 km, According to Leonardo, the detection, recognition and Thermal imager and a daylight full-HD CMOS sensor, together with a 5.5 km range Leonardo, the Mini-Colibri, which features a 640×480 uncooled LWIR (8-12 µm) Improvement was made in the optronic suite two options are proposed, both from

Which would adopt them as main armament, but can also be considered for Lionfish, the new family of Naval Remotely-controlled Weapon Station (NRWS) isĪimed first at light units, such as Offshore Patrol Vessels (OPVs) and smaller, Systems field acquired with its Hitrole family to propose a new range of Units, Leonardo decided to leverage its experience in the small calibre gun Most such firearms are impossible to import into the US due to the minimum dimension requirements of ATF Form 4590.Increased shift of naval operations from blue to littoral waters, and theĬorresponding growth of the types of threats faced by large and small naval It is not the world's smallest working gun: even more ridiculously tiny "weapons" exist, such as 2mm pinfire pistols (most of which can be stored inside a matchbox) and the 2.34mm rimfire SwissMiniGun Miniature Revolver C1ST (the latter having 0.71 foot-pounds of muzzle energy, less than the 1 foot-pound required for a bullet to actually inflict a penetrating injury). Reloading the magazine generally required the use of tweezers. The combination of pathetic muzzle energy and the smoothbore barrel rendered the Kolibri extremely inaccurate and practically useless as a weapon. This is somewhat ironic given that as a cartridge-firing pistol, the Kolibri is now banned in Great Britain. The Kolibri's 2.7mm round is the smallest centrefire cartridge ever commercially produced, with the 3 foot-pound muzzle energy around half the UK limit for an air pistol to be purchased without requiring a firearm certificate. About 1,000 were made, with the gun primarily selling as a novelty. Since technology of the time could not drill rifling into such a small barrel, it is a smoothbore. Invented by Austro-Hungarian watchmaker Franz Pfannl, it was produced from 1913 to the mid-1920s in both single-shot and magazine-fed variants. The Kolibri Pistol is the smallest centrefire semi-automatic in the world. 2mm Kolibri pistol with a US penny for scale - 2.7x9mm Kolibri
