TrackingPoint unveils M1400 rifle

TrackingPoint has unveiled a new squad-level, precision-guided M1400 338LM bolt-action rifle, designed to engage moving (up to 20mph) and stationary targets within a range of 1,400 yards, it announced on 19 April.

The rifle features the RapidLok Target Elimination Fire Control System with a total time-to-kill of around 2.5 seconds. RapidLok comes with a laser-based barrel reference system to reduce error from vibration, shock and environmental changes such as barometric pressure, humidity and temperature.

The M1400 can also stream video to TrackingPoint's ShotGlass wearable glasses, for the soldier or marine to view and engage targets while remaining unexposed from threats. 

John McHale, chief executive officer, TrackingPoint, said: ‘The M1400 provides a clear advantage against any adversary in our current and future conflicts, including our current war on radical Islamic terrorism. Coupled with the M600 and M800, our army and marine corps squads now can bring withering dominance to the field of battle.

‘Extreme distance lethality is no longer the exclusive domain of trained snipers. With minimal training, any soldier can reliably deliver lethality well beyond what is possible for today's expert marksmen.’
