Simulated Weapons

Simulated M240 Machine Gun

The M240 is the new workhorse of the mounted machine gun crews with thousands now employed with armies around the world. A generally reliable automatic weapon in 7.62mm caliber, it provides good suppression and support at extended ranges. The VSS M240 is a highly detailed simulated weapon that provides trainees with various degrees of weapon readiness drills, marksmanship and engagement roles, whilst necessitating the 'immediate actions' required upon a stoppage.

    • Simulated M134 Minigun

    The extraordinary heavy ammo usage of the M134 mini gun (6000 rpm) can be a supply officers nightmare but VSS have solved the training overhead with the VSS M134 virtual weapon. Our full size replica of the original M134 offers an accurate weapon along with its functioning parts that are manipulated to clear stoppages and ensure the weapon is operational.
