CSL 50/40 VUL M2

Vulkan M2 Maxi Recoilless De-Armer Disruptor System

The CSL 50/40 VUL M2 Vulkan M2 is a fully recoilless de-armer disruptor system capable of firing a wide range of specialised projectiles and fluids. Its modular design, incorporating three interchangeable barrels and adjustable recoil compensation, allows the system to be rapidly configured to meet diverse operational requirements.

Building on the proven performance of its predecessor, the M2 introduces improved reliability and a higher-velocity water shot, enhancing close-range disruption capability. The recoilless firing system significantly reduces mechanical stress, making the Vulkan particularly well suited for deployment on medium to large EOD robotic vehicles, where minimising wear on robotic arms is critical.

With a stand-off range exceeding 30 metres, the Vulkan enables robotic platforms to maintain distance from proximity-triggered threats. When deployed using the Maxi Weapon Carrier, two to four Vulkan units can be mounted and fired either independently or simultaneously, allowing effective engagement of larger or more complex targets.

Key Features:

Long Stand-Off Capability

  • Accurate firing beyond 30m using the 40mm rifled barrel

  • Frangible and solid steel projectiles for varied target types

 

Powerful Close-Up Disruption

  • 40mm choked water barrel supports medium and high-velocity water jets

  • Optional steel-tipped penetrator for hardened targets

 

Reliable De-Arming Tools

 

  • 1” de-armer barrel compatible with NATO standard projectiles

  • Plain slug, chisel, and blade projectile options

 

Fully Recoilless Operation

  • Adjustable recoil compensation prevents system movement

  • Ideal for robotic vehicles with limited recoil tolerance

 

Turret-Integrated Laser Aiming

  • Dual 30mW green lasers for target alignment

  • Contra-rotating prisms for rapid adjustment

  • 40mm 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 HP)

  • One cartridge supports all three barrel configurations

 

High-Quality Construction

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

  • High tensile strength and corrosion resistance

 

PTB Approved

  • Measured and approved by the German National Institute of Metrology

Typical Applications:

  • Stand-off and close-range UXO fuze removal

  • IED disruption in C-IED operations

  • Robotic EOD deployments

  • Method of entry (MOE) tasks

  • High-risk render safe procedures

Custom-fit Peli Cases are designed to protect the Vulkan's components and accessories in storage and transport.

Why Choose the CSL 50/40 VUL M2?

The CSL 50/40 VUL M2 delivers exceptional flexibility and precision in a single recoilless platform. Its modular barrel system allows rapid adaptation between de-arming and disruption roles, while recoilless operation preserves the integrity of robotic platforms during repeated use. With long stand-off capability, advanced aiming aids, and robust construction, the Vulkan M2 is a powerful solution for complex EOD and C-IED missions.
