MKE has introduced the MPT-68, the newest member of its National Infantry Rifle family, to the public for the first time
The MPT-68 combines the power of a 16-inch barrel and new generation 6.8×51 mm ammunition in a single platform, unlike traditional calibers. Capable of penetrating even Level 4 ballistic armor and possessing high firepower, the MPT-68 will provide Turkish soldiers with absolute fire superiority in the field.
What are the features of the MPT-68?
Designed by MKE engineers, the MPT-68 is manufactured from special alloys with higher durability compared to standard steels. The rifle's resistance to high pressure has been increased through additional processing. The rifle, which has two firing modes (semi-automatic and automatic), weighs 4 kilograms. With a muzzle velocity of 900 m/s, the MPT-68 has a rate of fire of 700 (±100) rounds per minute and can effectively fire at a range of 800 meters.
The MPT-68, notable for its ergonomic design, is 1 meter long (with stock extended). Its adjustable (telescopic) stock offers ease of use. Thanks to its high-pressure, short-stroke gas piston system, the MPT-68 reduces heat and dust from reaching the mechanism, providing uninterrupted performance even under challenging conditions.
