Komodo Armament D5
Komodo Armament D5 is an assault rifle produced by PT. Komodo Armament Indonesia. The rifle is using 5.56×45mm NATO ammunition. Like other Komodo Armament rifles, D5 assault rifle is manufactured using polymer material, with cerakote or hard anodize finish.[1] It has 4 picatinny rail at 9, 12, 3, and 6 o'clock position. The barrel cover (hand guard) is a rail integration system (RIS) with several open cavities, making the heat dissipation process on the barrel faster when in full automatic firing mode. The barrel cover model is also designed to be lightweight but rigid. For the buttstock, D5 adopts telescopic buttstock type of polymer material that can be adjusted. Polymer material is also used in the magazine, which contains 30 rounds. Local content for this weapon has reached 80%. What is currently imported is the material for making the barrel and the telescopic sight. The rifling and shaping process is carried out in Indonesia. The barrel life is about 6000 rounds, constant firing.[2]
