MKS 18 National Corner Gun
The National Corner Gun MKS18, which was developed with the aim of increasing the safety of the Armed Forces personnel against enemy weapons in operations which require the neutralization of firearms or targets, increases the usage capacity of the light firearm users and enables them to shoot under protection rather than being an open target.
The MKS18 is able to fire the gun with the second trigger mechanism of the system by changing the angle of the target and the policeman or soldier can use the weapon in counter-terrorism operations and similar operations, by keeping the user in the corner points (under protection) with the advantage of 60 degrees while the target and weapon are in the same direction.
The MKS18 can be used with domestic and foreign brand light firearms. While the firearm can be adjusted to 60 degrees to the right, 60 degrees to the left and to the zero position, it can be directed to the target with the electro-optical sight system. The backfire of the weapon is absorbed by the system and is designed and equipped in a way that the user cannot be harmed.
