Overview

Delta Cradle

The Delta Cradle is a lightweight, mission-adaptable weapon interface designed for rapid weapon integration. Compatible with the FN MAG family of 7.62mm machine guns (M240, L7, C6, MAG 58) and FN Minimi family of 5.56mm machine guns (M249, C9, F89), the cradle utilizes an integrated push-button retention mechanism to provide secure weapon retention while enabling rapid mounting and dismounting in operational environments.

  1. Pintle Lock-Out & Elevation Control
    The integrated pintle lock-out system secures the weapon at three selectable elevation positions when static. A 22-degree elevation limit stop provides a positive mechanical hard stop, helping prevent accidental discharge into the vehicle structure or engine compartment when mounted from elevated vehicle positions.

  2. Mounting Interface
    Designed to work seamlessly with the Delta & Shadow Swing Arm family, the cradle incorporates a spring loaded retention pin for rapid weapon installation and removal. An integrated Picatinny rail provides additional mounting capability for mission-specific accessories and equipment.

  3. Ammunition Management
    The Delta Cradle supports multiple ammunition configurations, including 200 rounds of 7.62mm, 100 rounds of 5.56mm, or up to 600 rounds utilizing a three-bracket configuration. The rugged ammunition carrier system protects ammunition from debris and environmental hazards while maintaining rapid access during operation.

  4. Construction
    Manufactured from aerospace-grade aluminum, 304 stainless steel, and 17-4 stainless steel components, the Delta Cradle is engineered to deliver exceptional durability, corrosion resistance, and long-term performance in demanding operational environments.

Overview

Delta 02 Swing Arm

The Delta 02 is a lightweight, mission-adaptable dual swing arm weapon mounting system engineered to provide a stable firing platform while maintaining rapid deployment, stowage, and weapon interchangeability. Building upon the proven legacy of the Shadow mount family, the Delta 02 incorporates a streamlined pinless architecture designed to reduce complexity and improve operator efficiency in dynamic operational environments.

  1. Pinless Quick-Release Design
    The Delta 02 features integrated push-button release mechanisms for both cradle attachment and vehicle interface integration, enabling rapid mounting, dismounting, and reconfiguration without the need for tethered pins or loose hardware. The intuitive design simplifies operation while supporting fast transitions between platforms and mission profiles.

  2. Vehicle Integration
    Designed for maximum flexibility, the Delta 02 supports multiple vehicle mounting configurations including turret, A-pillar, B-pillar, and receiver hitch applications. Its modular architecture allows operators to adapt a single weapon mount system across a wide range of tactical, commercial, and specialty vehicle platforms.

  3. Dual Friction Lock System
    The Delta 02 utilizes independently adjustable dual friction locks, allowing operators to control arm movement and lockout based on mission requirements. The system provides smooth operation, positional stability, and user-adjustable resistance for both firing and transport configurations.

  4. Construction & Finish
    Manufactured from aerospace-grade aluminum, 304 stainless steel, and 17-4 stainless steel components, the Delta 02 balances lightweight construction with exceptional strength and durability. A Type III hard anodized matte black finish provides superior wear and corrosion resistance in demanding operational environments.

  5. Multi-Environment Performance
    Engineered for operation in austere environments, the Delta 02 is designed to withstand extreme temperatures, mud, dust, moisture, vibration, and prolonged field use. The system maintains functionality and reliability in the demanding conditions encountered by military, law enforcement, and security forces worldwide.
