SIG MPX

OriginGermanyCaliber9MMCyclic Rate850Weight (With Ammo)8LB 10OZRecoilLowest

We loved the SIG MPX in its compact submachine gun format so much, we added a rifle length variant to the arsenal. Intended for use in the aircraft on Helicopter Hog Hunts, the longer barrel maximizes the 9mm +P ammo velocity and provides enhanced muzzle safety for aircraft shooting configurations when seated next to another gunner. The SIG MPX Airborne configuration features a vertical grip, sling, and EOTech holographic optic. It retains the soft feeling, low-recoil characteristics that make its compact little brother such a pleasure to shoot.

Benefits:
Lightweight
Lowest recoil option
Adjustable stock length

Ambidextrous features:

“For hunters wanting the full-auto experience without the stout recoil of a rifle cartridge, the SIG MPX is about as good as it gets.” – HeliBacon

LWRC SMG 45

The LWRC SMG 45 is crafted using high-performance aluminum and steel. It uses HK UMP magazines and stocks, as well as incorporates AR-15 style ergonomics with ambidextrous fire controls, bolt catch/release, and HK’s paddle mag release for easy loading and magazine changes.

The SMG 45 features a unique delayed blowback operating mechanism that allows the barrel and bolt to travel rearward together for a short distance before unlocking. Thus, recoil is reduced and the suppressor effect is improved due to fewer gases escaping the ejection port. The suppressed aircraft variant enhances muzzle safety for aircraft shooting configurations when seated next to another gunner. The Airborne LWRC SMG 45 variant features an ergonomic vertical grip and sling, with an AimPoint red dot optic for superior targeting and the ultimate thrill.

AR-15

As America’s rifle, the AR-15 is based on Eugene Stoner’s design and adopted by the United States Armed Forces, initially with the designation M16. The AR-15 / M16 / M4 nomenclature refers to a wide variety of modern rifles that share similar characteristics and design fundamentals. New generations of the AR-15 serve as the standard issue rifle for many branches of the United States military, and in more than 80 nations. HeliBacon’s full-auto AR-15s have M16 fire control groups, in Seekins Precision lower receivers, with Geissele Super Select Fire triggers and LWRC M6IC SPR short-stroke piston uppers. The EOTech holographic optics afford an excellent field of view. The ergonomics of the AR-15 platform are outstanding.

The Fabrique Nationale Fusil Automatique Léger (translation: Light Automatic Rifle), commonly known as the FN FAL, entered service in 1953 and remains in service to the present day. HeliBacon is pleased to offer modern, American-Made, DSArms FAL variants as full-auto options for Helicopter Hog Hunting missions. The Airborne configuration includes an ergonomic vertical grip, a fully adjustable stock with cheek height and length of pull adjustments, and AimPoint red dot optics.

Adopted by over 90 countries, the FN FAL has seen conflict worldwide during its 60 years of service, making it one of the most prolific rifles in history. The widespread use of this firearm among NATO allies and many first-world countries during the Cold War earned it the moniker: ”The right arm of the Free World.” Since feral hogs are classified as an “invasive” species, it’s only appropriate to combat this invasion with maximum liberty and freedom.
