Weapon accessories
Overview
Rheinmetall’s weapon accessories are built on more than 50 years of experience, combining advanced technology with continuous design improvements. With a comprehensive portfolio tailored to customer needs, the systems are battle proven, qualified, and delivered to numerous users worldwide. They are manufactured to the highest quality standards and carefully balanced between performance, weight, and robustness—always with the goal of enabling soldiers and naval operators to achieve maximum precision and efficiency.
The weapon mounts are highly versatile and can be installed on vehicles, boats, or tripods. By reducing recoil forces, they improve grouping and increase first‑hit probability. The first recoil‑damping weapon mount was delivered to the Norwegian Army in 1985, and this proven solution remains in service today, forming the foundation of the current Softmount technology. By reducing stress on both weapon and platform, the advanced Softmount systems enhance accuracy, extend system lifetime, and support integration with a wide range of weapons, with continuous development to meet evolving operational requirements.
