Hyperdelivery Systems announces that it has successfully completed Phase One, Functional Testing, the first phase of a four-phase test program involving the patented hyperDEL™50 rifle.

Phase One was directed at proofing the patented, large caliber, design concept in a prototype configuration, which included the following essential features: a direct-gas-impingement system to cycle the bolt carrier group for extracting and ejecting spent brass cartridges, cocking the cartridge ignition hammer, and stripping rounds from an ammunition magazine and loading them into battery.

The prototype design configuration validated several key design features in addition to those already mentioned: an ejection port that also functions as the charging handle slot and bolt carrier rotation limiter; an energy tunable gas system with ON/OFF capability; a patented hyperTAME™ muzzle brake that provides felt recoil energies of 15.5 to 17.6 ft-lbs when in semiautomatic and gas-OFF modes respectively; an automatic bolt-open feature that engages after the last magazine round has been fired; and field-stripping takedown capabilities for cleaning convenience and small, transport, form-factor provisions.

Testing of the prototype design was also directed at determining where the design could be enhanced for performance and reliability in a production configuration. That effort yielded the following: conversion of the prototype, blade-type extractor in a five-lug bolt to a T-slot, slider extractor in a four-lug, bolt design; larger, lower stressed, hammer springs; and improved magazine lip and follower geometries.

Phase Two, Endurance Testing, of the four-phase test program will follow next.
