Erbil, the Israeli system that increases the accuracy of every soldier

An innovative proposal has emerged Israeli IWI (Israeli Weapon Systems), This applies to infantry rifles and light machine guns. Which promises a significant increase in burst accuracy. It's called the system black board It has already been tested on the company's Negev light machine gun, in 5.56 and 7.62 calibres, as well as on the Arad rifle, a design that follows the popular American AR-15 (so it can fit everyone). similar).

What changes with the Arbel is the pistol grip on the rifle and machine gun, with the handle on the latter being the same because it also has a rechargeable lithium battery on the bottom.

How does it work now? Erbil constantly monitors the gun's location, so when the explosion starts, He accepts the first shot as the most “correct”. That is, it is considered that the first bullet was the one that was well aimed. Then, as is known during an explosion, the recoil of the weapon, vibrations, fatigue of the operator, and the noise of the shots affect the target, so the following shots have an increased error. In this vicious circle, the operator tries to keep the weapon fixed on the target.

Erbil is here then, Electromechanical trigger controlDoes the following: Based on the first “good” shot, continues shooting; But choose the time when the gun will be near the original “correct” position! That is, subsequent shots of the burst are not automatically executed at the standard rate for each weapon (for example 600 rounds per minute) but with a minimum average delay, at which the weapon's movement and stability are measured.

minutes; Yes, the number of burst shots is reduced, but the accuracy is greatly increased. So, according to reports, the reduction in shots amounted to about 10% of total shots, but the percentage “on target” increased by 23% to 73%. Tests were conducted at different distances, and the results showed improvement in all of them, and the results were similar.

Let us clarify here that Arbel has nothing to do with binoculars or any type of binoculars. In other words, it does not “look” at the target, but internally measures the precise movements of the weapon in the operator’s hand It self-adjusts on each shot, with the first shot being the “standard”. That is, it is independent of the actual target and under what conditions (day or night, weather, etc.).

The new handle has an additional “Arbel” option, as well as the classic “Safety”, “Semi-Automatic” and “Automatic” options. The battery lasts for about 60 hours of use, so it has a long life in the field, and only activates when the shooter chooses an “erbil” configuration, so there is a power saving.

The price for the above is the increased weight of the weapon, which in the case of the machine gun translates to 900 grams that the new handle weighs with the battery. But the company explains that this extra weight is compensated for by accuracy, as less ammunition is “consumed” to get the same effect. So, instead of a Soldier carrying a large load of ammunition in magazines because a lot of it ends up going wrong, it is better to increase accuracy and reduce the need for ammunition.
