Viper Midi Recoilless Disrupter
The Viper is a 4th generation 30mm Midi Disrupter featuring, variable projectile mass and recoilless operation. It can be configured as:
- Close Up Disrupter using either 60, 100 or 150ml of water or elastomer in C-IED applications.
- Stand Off Disrupter using 100g spin stabilised clay frangible projectiles at ranges up to 30m (100ft) in C-IED applications and in breach entry SWAT operations etc.

Features
- Gas regulator which varies gas volume to the compensator permitting the system to be recoilless for projectile masses of
between 60, 100 and 150g. - 30mm rifled barrel for long stand-off applications.
- The Viper is available constructed in either tempered Stainless Steel or, in a super lightweight version, in tempered Titanium.
- The Viper disrupter system utilises the same turret, sights and multi position stand as the maxi Vulkan system.
Gas Regulator, allows the volume of gas to the compensator to be varied across 3 settings enabling the system to be recoilless with different projectile mass and / or barrel.
Common Breech Plug with two electrical adaptors allowing the use of leaded electric cartridges with the basic plug and leadless electric cartridges. This means that the Viper can be used with some currently available in service Cartridges and the new CSL Leadless Electric Cartridges.

Laser Sights
The Laser Sights incorporate several Safety Features:
- Automatic time out after 1-5 minutes according to time delay selected by the Operator. This means that once the Operator has aimed the Disrupter the Laser Sights will automatically shut down.
- Each laser sight can easily be removed from the turret.
- Power for the lasers derives from a tubular power pack using off the shelf batteries and housed in the upper arm of the multi position stand. This prevents the lasers being used for any other purpose.
Laser Specifications
- The standard lasers are 35mw, 532nM Green. Green lasers are 10 x more visible to the human eye than other colours.
- The lasers are pulsed but when they coincide if for example being used to range as well as aim the two spots will merge as a solid dot.
- The lasers are zeroed by means of contra rotating prisms which make zeroing a quick and easy operation.
- Lasers are significantly more stable.

Arm Details
A.
Upper arm of multi position stand can be telescoped out in situations where a longer reach is needed. The arm can also be rotated thereby angling the disrupter to one side or the other and the brass clamping collar locks the arm in the desired position.
B.
The all-aluminium multi position stand features hard anodised splined, sprung loaded joints permitting easy adjustment but providing a completely rigid structure.
C.
Exploded view of upper arm withdrawn, showing the cylindrical battery pack which contains 4 x 3v lithium batteries in series
giving 12v. Batteries are available ‘off the shelf’.
