Compact configuration

HH50C

The HH50C is the compact configuration. With the barrel retracted it can be held in hand while travelling inside a small passenger vehicle, and it is brought back to a fully combat-ready state without tools.

At 7 600 g empty it is the lightest configuration of the platform, which opens .50 BMG effect to dismounted patrol teams, boarding parties and unmanned ground vehicles that could not previously carry an anti-materiel rifle.

  • Retractable barrel — hand-carryable in a small vehicle
  • 7 600 g empty, the lightest configuration
  • Tool-free transition to combat-ready state
  • Suited to boarding parties, patrols and UGV mounts

Field Adaptability

Caliber change without tools

The HH50 was developed so that the caliber can be easily changed even under battlefield conditions, without the need for tools. The bolt head operates with both the .50 BMG NATO caliber and the Russian 12.7×108 caliber. Changing the caliber simply involves replacing the barrel and magazine.

  • Single bolt head for both cartridge families
  • Barrel and magazine exchange only
  • No armourer support required in the field
  • Cost-efficient, widely fielded ammunition
