- Description
- A 30mm recoilless disruptor used for rendering medium sized IEDs (Improvised Explosive Device) safe that can either be mounted on a flexible stand or held by a Bomb Disposal Robot. Powered by an electrically initiated cartridge, the key components within an IED are then separated by injecting a column of water at high pressure. Machined from billets or lengths of stainless steel bar stock of high strength heat treated stainless steel, different styles of cartridge can be accommodated due to an interchangeable breach. This includes aluminium cartridges and 0.50 calibre cartridges. Packed in kit form in a foam lined rigid case which includes cleaning and maintenance tools, and other accessories, the product requires some assembly and preparation before use. Packed into an outer cardboard box.
