The section, covered.
Platatac is the exclusive Australian distributor for Knight's Armament Company, with in-country sales, support and spares.
Four platforms. One section.
The KS-1 covers the general purpose rifle role. The KS-3 trades barrel length for a shorter, lighter rifle suited to buildings, vehicles, jungle and concealed carriage. The LAMG brings belt-fed 5.56 mm to the assault at a weight that keeps pace with the rifle group. The M110K3 adds 7.62 mm reach and precision in a carbine-length package.
Between them they cover the section from the breach point to 800 metres, with common controls across the three rifles and a single point of supply and support in Australia.
KS-1
Mid-length barrel for a balance of reach, weight and handling across the full range of infantry tasks.
The KS-1 is the general purpose rifle in the Knight's KS family. A 13.7-inch cold hammer forged, chrome-lined barrel gives it 500-metre effective range without the length penalty of a full rifle. Ambidextrous controls, free-floating URX rail and a two-stage match trigger are standard.
KS-3
Shorter and lighter. Suited to fighting in buildings, in and around vehicles, jungle, and concealed carriage.
The KS-3 trades barrel length for a shorter, lighter package built for close confines: room clearance, vehicle work, jungle and covert carriage. Same receiver, controls and trigger as the KS-1, so a section can run both without retraining.
LAMG
Stoner belt-fed machine gun. Light and controllable, built to move with the assault rather than support it from behind.
At 5.1 kg the LAMG weighs less than most loaded rifles with optics. Its constant-recoil operating system keeps it on target under automatic fire, so the gunner can move and shoot with the assault group rather than support it from a fixed position. Feeds from a 100-round sack or 200-round box.
M110K3
Compact 7.62 mm. Sniper-rifle reach and accuracy in a carbine-length package that retains an automatic fire option.
The M110K3 puts the M110 sniper system's 7.62 mm reach into a 16-inch carbine. A 5R cut-rifled 416R barrel delivers precision beyond 800 metres; an automatic fire option and carbine dimensions keep it usable inside the section rather than behind it.
Built in Titusville. Supported in Australia.
Knight's Armament Company has designed and built small arms, suppressors and sighting systems for US and allied forces from Titusville, Florida, since 1982. Its SR-25 and M110 family became the US military's standard semi-automatic sniper systems; the Stoner LMG lineage runs through to today's LAMG.
Platatac has made and supplied tactical equipment to Australian defence, law enforcement and government users from its Melbourne factory since 1988. As Knight's exclusive distributor for Australia, Platatac provides in-country sales, support and spares for these systems.
