CSL 50/30 VIP M2

Viper M2 Midi Recoilless De-Armer Disruptor System

The CSL 50/30 VIP M2 Viper M2 is a fully recoilless de-armer disruptor system delivering high performance in a compact, highly deployable package. It is specifically suited for integration with small and medium-sized EOD robotic vehicles, where low mass and minimal recoil are essential.

​

The Viper’s modular design incorporates two interchangeable barrels and adjustable recoil compensation, allowing rapid reconfiguration to suit operational needs. The 30mm choked water barrel enables precise targeting of IED components and delivers sufficient impact force for effective close-range disruption, while the 30mm rifled barrel provides accurate stand-off capability, allowing operators and ROVs to remain at safer distances.

​

The M2 variant builds on the proven performance of the original Viper, offering improved reliability and the addition of a higher-velocity water shot, enhancing effectiveness in close-range C-IED applications.

Key Features:

Long Stand-Off Capability

​

  • Accurate firing beyond 30m using the 30mm rifled barrel

  • Frangible and solid steel projectiles for varied target materials

 

Powerful Close-Up Disruption

​

  • 30mm choked water barrel supports medium and high-velocity water jets

  • Optional steel-tipped penetrator for hardened targets

 

Fully Recoilless Operation

 

  • Adjustable recoil compensation prevents system movement

  • Ideal for small and medium-sized robotic platforms

 

Turret-Integrated Laser Aiming

​

  • Dual 30mW green lasers for aiming at all ranges

  • Contra-rotating prisms for rapid adjustment

  • 30mm red bore-sight laser for precise calibration

  • Safety key and automatic time-out

 

.50 Calibre Cartridge Power

​

  • Powered by a single electrically initiated .50 Cal cartridge (CSL 50Cal MP)

  • Same cartridge used across both barrel configurations

 

.High-Quality Construction

​

  • Manufactured from precipitation-hardened 17-4 stainless steel (AISI 630)

  • High tensile strength and excellent corrosion resistance

 

Optional Titanium Version

​

  • Titanium barrels and compensator jacket for reduced weight

  • Plasma nitride surface treatment enhances durability

Typical Applications:

  • Robotic EOD de-arming operations

  • C-IED disruption tasks

  • Stand-off UXO fuze removal

  • Method of entry (MOE) operations

  • Close-range disruption in confined environments
