Electronics for Mk. 41


Electronic GPS Compass. Separated from the original GPS and presented in the upper right hand corner of the scope. This is only correlated by movement and past movement. A physical compass is given on top of the gun, essentially on top of the scope and integrated into the external covering.

Integrated GPS within the bottom attachment of the scope. A third Visual display is presented on the right side of gun to show the readings of the GPS. This viewing of the GPS has a hinge, and can be opened and closed much as a camera visual display can be. The GPS can also be used to send out a signal to the commanding officer or a tank, to make the location of the individuals easier; such as for extraction methods or for airplanes to understand the position of the infantry men and where not to attack.

A 512mW High Power Green Laser. Capable of burning targets at up to five hundred yards away. If used correctly, the laser can be used to ignite tents, small explosives, and quite possibly any heat sensitive material. The Laser also comes with it's own battery, the beam is extremely visible, and has a useful range of nearly ten thousand meters.

Round counter with electronic visual display. The round counter is based upon the number of strokes the piston makes and by the addition or removal of a magazine; which ultimately goes on the basic system of how many rounds are supposed to be in a fully loaded magazine. If the barrel explodes and the bullet does not leave the barrel, essentially this will still be counted as a shot by the round counter.

Integrated x4 to x12 adjustable Scope. Capable of Infrared and Night Vision; also capable of presenting a red dot, and a HUD system which presents the direction, angle of the barrel in correlation with the target, rounds left, and range through an invisible laser range finder. The scope has a completely customizable built in system, which is electronically controlled. The addition of a miniature GPS display, a sonar display, and an average temperature can all be toggled.

Thermometer. An electric direct air comparison thermometer is present within the center mass of the gun. It essentially gives the weapon the capability to monitor outside temperature. The thermometer is only designed to show accurate readings from -150 to 212 degrees Fahrenheit. It as well can be toggled to be presented in the Scope or HUD section, with Fahrenheit, Celsius, and Kelvin temperatures capable of being toggled on and off.

An optionally turned on Sonar device is also present within the bulk material of the gun. Sending out high frequency sound waves, these waves are sent about an area and presumably rebound off of other objects, which are registered inside the device. The weapon essentially uses an extremely high grade fish finder, that is applicable within use of the air. The high frequency wave can pass through roughly 10 feet of cement and rebar wall, and all equivalent, within a 100 yard radius.

Automatic invisible laser range finder. The range finder presents a laser, and by detecting the varying degrees, calculates the range in either meters, yards, or feet. The System allows detection of distances up to 2000 meters, and most accurately records distances from 0-800 meters.

The rifle has an integrated bolt action slower and speed reducer. Although not very complex, or adjustable, the weapon allows a varying rate of RPM between 550 and 950 RPM. The production of this is purely physical, although it is electronically controlled. Varying increments of 50 RPM are on the only applicable range of change of rate of fire.

The Scope may be electronically linked to a transparent display positioned above the right eye. Being opaque, the display presents a HUD of the rifle, with the number of rounds, direction, and range standard. The HUD can be modified electronically and customized to show any feature the weapon electronically records. The HUD is also transparent, making it possible for the user to see through it. Directly linked to the scope, the User can view a zoomed in picture of the target through essentially a camera within the scope. This feature is especially useful in assaulting possible targets, as the gun does not need to be lifted up to the eye in order to receive a decent amount of aiming ability. The HUD can be either wireless, or have a direct wire, although the wire version is considered much more reliable than the wireless version.

The Battery of the System is a 16 volt lithium Ion battery. The battery as an integrated AC/DC adaption feature, so that the gun itself can be plugged into a machine in order to charge it. The gun also has an adapter for which ever method is required to charge it. The Battery life for a full running system is essentially 72 hours; unrecharged. The weapon also shuts down, or runs at lower power, the electronically powered systems of the weapon. The weapon also as an integrated recharging method. The the transfer of kinetic energy by shaking the weapon, and by the direct energy received from the recoil of the weapon, the weapon essentially recharges itself. By shaking the weapon a few times, or over an extended period of time, the battery can be recharged; which is presumably done while a soldier is moving.



Other Specifications


Grenade Launcher- The grenade launcher is an integrated 40mm grenade launcher. The magazine it exploits is tubular in nature and sits underneath the barrel, loading into the barrel much like a shotgun. Although the standard round for the grenade launcher is the 40mm x 40mm style grenades, it can support up to a 40mm x 60mm grenade. As well, the grenade launcher is semiautomatic, requiring no additional support, and is nearly recoiless as the energy is dissipated throughout the weapon.

Magazine Feed System- The Magazine feed System consists of two methods of feeding; one below the barrel, in a traditional traditional magazine fed weapon. The second consists of the above barrel, rotating round magazine; style much like the P90. The barrel has both a left and a right ejection port, and two closing feeding ports (electronically controlled). The secondary top magazine sits right underneath the scope, barely visible when viewing the gun laterally. The gun can also support two additional magazine of each type, each one being electronically replaced. The magazines can also switch between rounds almost immediately, giving a nearly continuous rate of fire between the maximum (and heavy) two hundred rounds.

Scope- The Scope is a x4 to x12 adjustable thermal, infrared, and Night Vision scope. The scope can present a wide range of HUD devices, controlled by a small pad underneath and to the side of the scope. Nearly any electronically recorded component of the device can be shown on the electric parts of the scope. The scope also has an adjustable ret dot, and automatic range finder displayed. The Scope, in close combat situations, or if the battery goes out, can double as an effective iron sight for the weapon; which properly positioned aiming methods on the top.

GPS- The GPS is the standard military issue GPS. The GPS can be used to plot locations, directions, and even used to show where friendly targets are in relation to the weapon carrier. The GPS can also be used to make sure that the group is on the right course to their objective. When given a tough extraction point location, or when need of the nearly exact location of the solider or soldiers is necessary (such as in a bombing raid) the position of the soldier can be sent to commanding officers and anyone who can receive the signal, in order to reveal the location of the soldier; or more correctly the weapon. The device can also be used to identify the proper alignment of squad positions and revise them.
