Background: VISNEWS cameras visited the 'Artillerie-Intrichtingen' factory at Hembrug-Zaandam, Holland, Feb 2, for film a demonstration of the new Armalite AR-10 lightweight combat rifle. Experts believe that it will soon be standard equipment for NATO infantry.

A basic infantry-rifle with full and semi automatic fire control, the AR-10 is a sniper rifle of highest accuracy standards. Light and compact enough to readily take the place of a sub-machine gun having the range, energy and accuracy of a rifle. It is also a grenade launching weapon, capable of launching grenades without the necessity of gas-adjustment, thus permitting use of ball ammunition immediately with one loss of time.

Specifications; Gas operated, magazine fed, selfloading, semi and fully automatic system; .30 inch calibre; 40.8 inches in length; Weight 7.2 pounds; 700 rounds per minute approximate rate of fire;
Outstanding features; Complete field stripping is accomplished in a few moments; Dust cover protection against dust, sand, mud and dirt. Opens automatically upon firing first round; Rear sight incorporated in carrying handle; Winter trigger enabling us while wearing mittens-gloves; Rugged fibre glass insulated fore-arm providing extra weapon control with comfort for user; Three position selective fire lever;
Designed and produced by the Fairchild Engine and Airplane Corporation, Maryland, USA, the AR-10 is manufactured in Holland under license.
