Consistently under 10 pounds. AK-47 weight. A good few pounds lighter than the Milkor M-32.
Please read the thread before asking questions. And that was on the first page.

I will have accurate numbers soon with weight, fps, etc. Hoping to have a vid posted, but not quite there yet. Have to pick up camera tomorrow.

I think it is closer to 11 pounds with the stock and foregrip.

Looking even better with that carbon fiber wrap gives it a nice touch. I think military and law enforcemnt will like this just like BTB said no muzzle flash and lower noise. Any idea when a Complete Model will come out.

yep but they'll be picky on reliability which is the most important stat of a weapon,
another pro might be reloading, is reloading faster?
if not that the belt feed

HOW DOES IT WORK and how many valves is the main valve one all in one or 2 e.g. piston and the cartridge?

how does this gun work is it just using a Humphey 500A cartridge valves as the main valve

or

does it use a piston valve and a Humphey 500A cartridge valves as its main valve

cause it looks to me like its only using the cartridge valve that already come with a piston in it so the cartridge valve can operates????? if im wrong could you correct me and my understand of the main valve.

also with the lower half of the gun

behind the main valve is it fill with the air from an air compresser then the trigger makes the main valve fire. ????? ..............

If someone could reply to this post to help my understand of this gun or PM.

Why are you going on about some random commercial valve?

It uses a custom chamber sealing valve.

The trigger allows air to force the spool of the main valve into the chamber to open the path between chamber and barrel.
