Colt Canada > LSW Light Support Weapon

The 5.56 mm LSWTM Light Support Weapon is designed to provide small expeditionary units with a high volume of accurate fire support without increasing the logistical load. The LSWTM uses the same ammunition and magazines as the rifle or carbine and operates exactly the same. The heavy chrome lined barrel and high-rate gas system allows for a greater volume of fire with surprising accuracy. The LSWTM meets or exceeds all applicable military standards including: reliability in all environmental and operational conditions, accuracy, lethality, maintainability in field conditions and safety.

• High Rate Direct Gas System. The unique high volume direct gas system eliminates the operating rod and keeps all of the firing forces in line with the bore for maximum accuracy and reliability.

• Hammer Forged Heavy Support Barrel. The long-life chrome lined cold hammer forged barrel is the most advanced and durable barrel available. The integral chamber and bore greatly improves accuracy over a belt fed machine gun, while, the heavy barrel profile provides extra thermal mass to dissipate heat during intensive firing.

• Flat Top. The upper receiver can be manufactured in the original Canadian Forces specification Weaver rail, or with a MIL-STD-1913 Picatinny rail.

• Simplicity. The proven design ensures ease of operation and the ultimate in maintainability. The weapon is easy to operate and can be field stripped in seconds with no tools.

• Durability. The high strength materials and precision manufacturing ensure durability and low life-cycle costs. The LSWTM has 97% parts commonality with all other models.
