THUMPER™ Line of sub-sonics
We at BWE Firearms have been in development on a line of sub-sonic rifles and ammunition based on the KISS principle. The high cost and minimal supplies of ammo and reloading components have prompted us to look toward simplicity. Our cases are based on readily available WSM and 223 brass which we cut and stuff a bullet into. Costs using new brass and bullets is running close to 1 dollar a round for both the 50 and 338 THUMPER™. Reloading dies and info is available from us. Our 50 caliber was officially unveiled at the SAR show just past. As for the 338 we are planning to do this in both a custom bolt rifle and uppers for ARs. We are using match grade fast twist barrels and using our propriety selective gas system we are looking to go both sub and super-sonic. We have fired the 338 and the accuracy is sub-MOA. 200 yards 1.5" group. At the private 500 yard range where we were testing the 50 and 338 a representative of SOCOM observed the testing and was very impressed, asked us when we would have the package complete, ready for a full demonstration. At this time we are only selling the 338 in the bolt gun, but in the near future we will have the details on sales of the 338 uppers. Keep an eye on our website for photos and videos of our full line of rifles.
