VENOM LR 30 mm Gun

VENOM LR (Low Recoil) is a ‘ground up’ complete redesign of the ADEN 30 mm Gun; a gas-operated, electrically primed, self-loading revolver weapon.

VENOM LR is designed for Remote Weapon Station (RWS) integration where reduced firing forces permit installation to Light Reconnaissance Vehicles (LRVs) and fast patrol vessels.

The gun is shrouded by a buffer cradle that interfaces directly to the RWS gimbal elevation driveshaft and yoke arm. The gun recoils in the buffer cradle via two recoil
buffers, attached to the gun and buffer cradle with quick release pins for quick gun removal/installation.

The lengthened barrel, with optimised progressive parabolic rifling, improves accuracy and the muzzle brake assists with the reduction of recoil force.

With a 2,000 m effective range, single shot, 225 & 1,200 spm firing modes, motorised remote cocking with gun safeing/arming, remote gun loaded,
rounds fired and rate of fire indicators, VENOM LR is a highly price competitive, non-ITAR alternative to the M230LF Chain Gun.

The vast majority of VENOM LR parts are marinised with all lock-wiring removed. Maintenance is simplified utilising a standard metric tool kit with corresponding reduction in maintenance cycle times.

VENOM LR is production-ready, designed and manufactured in the UK by AEI Systems to aircraft standard quality and precision.
