An Entity of Type: Assault rifle, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

The Leader T2 MK5 Series firearms were chambered for the 5.56×45mm NATO cartridge and manufactured by Leader Dynamics of Smithfield, NSW, Australia (1978-1982/1983). The Leader was the brainchild of British weapons designer . It was originally a contender for a 5.56 mm Australian military service rifle to replace the then-issued Lithgow L1A1-F1 SLR and Colt M16A1 rifles. What was unique about this endeavor was that Australia had never designed or manufactured its own commercial gas-operated semi-automatic rifle. The rifle was abandoned when the Steyr AUG was adopted for use by the Australian military.

  • Les Leader T2 MK5 sont conçus pour la cartouche 5.56 et fabriqués par la Leader Dynamics/Australian Automatic Arms. Fred Riddle de Dupont Australie et Charles Saint-George ont travaillé ensemble pour sélectionner un plastique de technologie appropriée pour la poignée pistolet, protège-mains et crosse. Le Leader a été importé aux États-Unis par Ed Hoffman et Tim Peintre de la Sécurité publique mondiale, en Californie. Le leader a été présenté au Salon de la Nouvelle-Orléans et des commandes de plus de 3 millions de dollars ont été passés. Les acheteurs d'origine / distributeurs ont été John Giovino NY, Bumble Bee et CA Brothers Ellett. Ces fusils sont très rares aux États-Unis (moins de 2000). Charles Saint-George a conçu l'outillage de production et l'usine de Smithfield a commencé à tourner d'abord à 200 unités par mois, qui a augmenté à 400 par mois quelques mois plus tard. Saint-George a développé une version tir sélectif (y compris une version fusil-mitrailleur du leader) qui a attiré l'intérêt de la Royal Australian Corps, ainsi que des sociétés étrangères d'armes, y compris (une filiale de Beretta) en Italie, Fábrica Militar de Braco de Prata au Portugal, et des militaires étrangers, tels que le Sultanat d'Oman Forces armées. Pendant cette période, Charles Saint-George est parti en Europe et a mené des manifestations au Portugal, à Malte et en Italie. (fr)

What was unique about this endeavor was that Australia had never designed or manufactured its own commercial gas-operated semi-automatic rifle. The rifle was abandoned when the Steyr AUG was adopted for use by the Australian military. Of interest to those that study firearms, designs and evolution, the T2 used a triangular bolt-face that was similar to the Winchester Model 100. This was adopted because the original bolt-face was too complex and expensive to manufacture. In a case of parallel development, Barrett Firearms uses a similar design for the M82A1 and its bolt action guns. St. George worked for Barrett at around this time but was not involved in design or engineering duties. (en)
  • SAR/SAC - australijski karabin automatyczny (w terminologii angielskiej "karabin szturmowy") opracowany w zakładach Australian Automatic Arms/Leader Dynamics SAC jako następca karabinu FN FAL używanego wówczas przez Armię Australijską. SAR/SAC używał nabój pośredni 5,56 x 45 mm, działał na zasadzie odprowadzenia gazów prochowych. Opracowano trzy wersje broni SAR/SAC/SAP (odpowiednio karabin, karabinek i karabinek bez kolby) ale broń nie weszła do produkcji ponieważ Armia Australijska zdecydowała na przyjęcie karabinu Steyr AUG jako standardowej broni strzeleckiej.
