Swing Arm (L49A1)
The L49A1 7.62mm GPMG / 5.56mm MINIMI double articulated Swing Arm Softmount is specifically designed for use as a sentry swing arm on utility vehicles.
The softmount allows the fitting of both the 7.62mm GPMG and 5.56mm LMG.
The modular design of the mount assembly enables it to be deployed and modified to suit varying roles. The mount system incorporates the proven ISTEC GPMG Softmount, currently in service with the British Army, Marines, Royal Navy, US Marines and Coastguard.
The swing arm travel locks are set up for the individual vehicle and position, and prevents customer desired arcs being exceeded. Ammo box holders are standard.
Currently fitted to the FP FOXHOUND vehicle.
