under the partnership , swiss arms manufacture a large number of parts and accessories for weapons made by its sister companies , chief amongst which are barrels .
in 2000 l & o holdings bought the major firms under the sig sauer banner : sauer & sohn , mauser jagdwaffen gmbh , blaser and sig arms inc . along with swiss arms . the companies were renamed , collectively , as sig sauer gmbh from 2007 .
access to information records show that rcmp have an aggressive firearms reclassification agenda and that prohibitions will not stop with the swiss arms series rifles ,
the association said .
, the gun - loving swiss are not about to lay down their arms . guns are ubiquitous in this neutral nation , with sharpshooting considered a fun and wholesome recreational activity for people of all ages .
swiss arms ag began producing firearms in switzerland in the 1870s . since then the company has slowly developed its processes and construction of firearms , benefitting greatly through heavy investment by parent company sig sauer in 2005 , increasing the amount and quality of machinery and workforce .
the federal government has granted a five - year amnesty to owners of swiss arms classic green semi - automatic rifles , who will be able to continue to possess their guns
without threat of criminal charges ,

the largest and most damaging swiss bank heist in history doesn ' t involve stolen money but stolen computer files with more than 100 , 000 names tied to swiss bank accounts at hsbc , the second largest commercial bank in the world .
that sense of social and civic responsibility is one of the reasons the swiss have never allowed their guns to come under fire .
oerlikon - bührle , pilatus , ruag – swiss weapons manufacturers have often made the headlines , but rarely for the right reasons .
the swiss government has decided to suspend temporarily export licences for anti - air defence systems destined for pakistan . a cabinet statement . . .
the german industrialist emil georg bührle became a swiss citizen in the 1920s . emil georg bührle started his collection during the second world war .
the swiss will vote on november 29 on a people ' s initiative calling for a ban and transit of war materiel from switzerland . more specifically it seeks to ban the export of small arms , military training aircraft and obsolete military equipment no longer used by the swiss armed forces . the ban would not apply to hunting and sport weapons , demining systems , goods temporarily exported by the swiss authorities and those for civil protection . the initiative also stipulates that the government provide economic support for regions affected by the ban , mainly the cantons of nidwalden , zurich , thurgau , bern and lucerne . the initiative was launched by the pacifist group for a switzerland without an army and filed in september 2007 , and has been signed by over 109 , 224 citizens . in 1997 a similar initiative to ban arms exports was rejected by three out of four voters .
but , perhaps , not that surprising . swiss banks have been caught protecting tax dodgers before , but never has this much detail been revealed .
but swiss authorities say falciani acted alone . when they came looking for him , he fled to france and turned over his files to french authorities .
the following script is from
the swiss leaks
which aired on feb . 8 , 2015 . bill whitaker is the correspondent . ira rosen and habiba nosheen , producers .
after having ruled out the west german g1 i rifle , which uses caseless ammunition , the gird carried out a competitive evaluation of two weapons : the c42 developed by the federal arms factory and sig ' s sg541 , or , as it is now , the sg550 .
on november 29 the swiss will vote , for the third time since 1972 , on banning the export of weapons and other military materiel . the government has recommended voters reject the initiative .
the bührle foundation is preparing a catalog of all the works , private and public , mr . gloor said . . he said he believed the new wing could improve the arms dealer’s image because he collected most of his works after the war , in the six years before his death .
the country had one mass shooting in 2001 , but a resulting anti - gun referendum failed to pass . the swiss will not give up the gun . can their system work in the u . s . ?
as for hervé falciani , he ' s still a wanted man . in december , swiss authorities charged him with industrial espionage . he says he ' s a whistleblower . the swiss say he ' s a thief . his ex - girlfriend considers him a conman . when falciani first took the files , she traveled with him to beirut . she told a british filmmaker he had hoped to sell the data and make millions .
a 37 - year - old computer security specialist named hervé falciani stole the huge cache of data in 2007 and gave it to the french government . it ' s now being used to go after tax cheats all over the world . 60 minutes , working with a group called the international consortium of investigative journalists , obtained the leaked files . they show the bank did business with a collection of international outlaws : tax dodgers , arms dealers and drug smugglers - - offering a rare glimpse into the highly secretive world of swiss banking .
swiss made p210 to the 553r and 751 sapr pistols with more options to come in the future . if you are looking for support for air guns please contact soft air at urltoken or ( 763 ) 463 - 1925 .
the swiss federation is also wrestling with the implications of displaying the bührle collection . the kunsthaus sells a slim book published by the foundation that notes that mr . bührle , who died in 1956 , was forced by a swiss court to return 13 looted artworks that he had bought during the war to their owners or descendants . he later bought back nine of them , including a degas that had once been in the possession of the nazi leader hermann göring .
when the interview with falciani was over , the man responsible for the biggest breach and leak in swiss banking history left the way he ' d arrived at our meeting . . . through the streets of paris on his scooter .
an important point which will certainly not have escaped the swiss procurement authority ' s notice is that the stgw90 will cost about half the price of its predecessor without having to sacrifice any of the latter ' s performance or operational qualities .
the 7 . 5mm gp11 and 5 . 6mm gp90 rounds . in order to emphasise the country ' s policy of neutrality , the swiss authorities have tried to distance themselves from the 5 . 56 x 45mm nato round by choosing the designation 5 . 6mm , but the two rounds are in fact interchangeable , except for the fact that the swiss ammunition is optimised for a bore with a 1 - in - 290mm , rather than 1 - in - 178mm , rifling twist .
this is the stolen data that is shaking the swiss banking world to its core . it contains names , nationalities , account information , deposit amounts - but most remarkable are these detailed notes revealing the private dealings between hsbc and its clients .
an earlier version of this article misstated where a group of rabbis has been holding demonstrations urging the museum to protect what the group says is a jewish burial site . the protests have been held at swiss embassies and consulates , not just embassies .
the expansion project , expected to be completed by 2020 , is being financed by the city and the state government , or canton , of zurich and the museum’s association of 21 , 000 members , who have pledged to raise more than $ 88 million . the bührle foundation , created by descendants of the arms dealer to oversee the collection , will contribute an undisclosed amount .
in february 1983 , the swiss federal council made public its decision that the new 5 . 6mm sig sg541 assault rifle ( renamed the sg550 at the end of october 1984 ) would be adopted as the standard service weapon of the swiss army . about 600 , 000 weapons would be produced , with the cost of manufacturing the rifle and its ammunition estimated at sfr1 , 600 million , to be spread over 15 years . the rifle will enter service at the beginning of the next decade under the swiss army designation of stgw90 ( sturmgewehr = assault rifle ) , replacing the 7 . 5mm stgw57 . in autumn 1983 , however , a credit of sfr85 million was voted to enable sig to manufacture a first series - production batch of 15 , 000 rifles for delivery in 1986 . two thousand of these should be ready by the end of 1986 for handing over to the army for extensive in - service evaluation during which the rifle could undergo minor modifications to improve its handling . according to the timetable already established , sig will receive the principal order for 135 , 000 rifles in 1987 , for delivery beginning in 1990 . as was the case with the stgw57 , a third of the total production work will be go to the federal arms factory in berne , which will carry out the final assembly of 80 % of the weapons , while another third will be shared out among other swiss companies .
other critics are questioning whether it is proper for a publicly financed institution to give prominence to the bührle collection in a new wing , given that mr . bührle was a nazi arms dealer who bought art that had been looted from jewish owners . a book about the collection published last year by two zurich historians , including a former administrator of the kunsthaus , argues that the museum should be more transparent about his biography .
but since bulldozers started excavation early this year for the expansion project , a massive sandstone rectangle designed by the architect david chipperfield , the work has dredged up sensitive issues involving the city’s jewish history and the swiss role in the trade of art looted by the nazis in world war ii .
at the urging of a group in new york , hundreds of orthodox jews have staged demonstrations outside swiss embassies and consulates in london , montreal , new york and tel aviv , calling on the museum to protect a 14th - century jewish burial site that they say is under the new building’s construction site .
last month , the swiss jewish federation revisited those issues , hosting a lecture on looted art at the kunsthaus by ronald lauder , the president of the world jewish congress . while there mr . lauder also raised questions about the bührle collections . “one is publicly accessible , the other is private , ” mr . lauder said . “we don’t know what’s included in the private collection . ”
one of the reasons the crime rate in switzerland is low despite the prevalence of weapons — and also why the swiss mentality can’t be transposed to the current american reality — is the culture of responsibility and safety that is anchored in society and passed from generation to generation . kids as young as 12 belong to gun groups in their local communities , where they learn sharpshooting . the swiss shooting sports association runs about 3 , 000 clubs and has 150 , 000 members , including a youth section . many members keep their guns and ammunition at home , while others choose to leave them at the club . and yet , despite such easy access to pistols and rifles , “no members have ever used their guns for criminal purposes , ” says max flueckiger , the association’s spokesperson .
“from our point of view , nothing was found so there is no reason to protest , ” said jonathan kreutner , the secretary general of the swiss federation of jewish communities . “they don’t know that the city is very open and that all of the jewish communities are involved in this issue . they don’t know the facts . this is a very marginal group within the ultra - orthodox judaism . ”
second half of the 1970s , the swiss ministry of defense undertook to find a replacement for the stgw57 . after a series of in - service tests , carried out in 1978 , of 40 modified sig sg540 and sg543 rifles , the gruppe fur rustungsdienste ( grd ) drew up a staff requirement . in addition to the usual specifications concerning handling , ruggedness and safety of operation , the new rifle had particularly to meet the following requirements :
even though switzerland has not been involved in an armed conflict since a standoff between catholics and protestants in 1847 , the swiss are very serious not only about their right to own weapons but also to carry them around in public . because of this general acceptance and even pride in gun ownership , nobody bats an eye at the sight of a civilian riding a bus , bike or motorcycle to the shooting range , with a rifle slung across the shoulder .
none of this would have surfaced had it not been for this man : hervé falciani , an hsbc computer security specialist at the geneva , switzerland , branch . he stole the data in 2007 . he likes that he ' s been called the edward snowden of swiss banking . now a fugitive living in france , he says he grew disillusioned with what he saw at hsbc and began to download
proof
of illegal tax evasion : those internal bank files .
there is no doubt that sig has succeeded in developing for the swiss army a small - calibre assault rifle which is a worthy successor to the stgw57 , despite the qualities which have earned for the latter a very flattering reputation . the sg550 allows the infantryman greater mobility , gives him more firepower when firing on full automatic than was possible in practice with the 7 . 5mm calibre , and increases his efficiency by simplifying most of the operations required in the rifle ' s use .
unlike some other heavily armed nations , switzerland’s gun ownership is deeply rooted in a sense of patriotic duty and national identity . weapons are kept at home because of the long - held belief that enemies could invade tiny switzerland quickly , so every soldier had to be able to fight his way to his regiment’s assembly point . ( switzerland was at risk of being invaded by germany during world war ii but was spared , historians say , because every swiss man was armed and trained to shoot . )
in order to reduce the height of the weapon as far as possible , at the same time maintaining a gap between the magazine and the ground when the rifle is resting on its butt and bipod , the grid has opted for the 20 - round magazine . this decision is not surprising since swiss doctrine has always laid greater emphasis on single , well aimed shots , and since automatic fire can be controlled by the three - round burstlimiter . sig ' s 30round magazine is therefore exclusively for export .
the combination of these characteristics makes the prototype sg550s slightly more accurate than the stgw57 , as confirmed by the swiss army during comparative tests of 73 of the long version against stgw57s . with the rifles held firmly in clamps , serials of 24 shots were fired at a range of 300m . the new rifle achieved an overall grouping of 50 % of hits in a 7 x 6cm rectangle ( 226 points out of a possible 240 ) , while the stgw57 achieved a grouping of 7 x 8cm ( 220 points ) .
sig has taken out a patent for a system of juxtaposing several magazines under the rifle in order to speed up the reloading of the weapon . the right side of each magazine sports two studs which are engaged by a backward pivoting movement in u - shaped slots on the left - hand side of the next magazine . the 20round plastic magazine adopted by the swiss army a 30 - round version is also avail able for export - is transparent and shock , flame and dirt - resistant . it weighs only 90g and is more comfortable to handle in intense cold than metal
but the “gun in every closet” tradition was challenged in 2001 , after a disgruntled citizen opened fire with his army rifle inside a regional parliament , killing 14 and injuring 14 others — the only mass shooting in switzerland’s recent history . the subsequent opposition to widespread gun ownership spearheaded a push for stricter arms legislation . the government and pro - gun groups argued , however , that the country’s existing laws regulating the sale , ownership and licensing of private guns , which includes a ban on carrying concealed weapons , are stringent enough . the law allows citizens or legal residents over the age of 18 , who have obtained a permit from the government and who have no criminal record or history of mental illness , to buy up to three weapons from an authorized dealer , with the exception of automatic firearms and selective fire weapons , which are banned . semiautomatics , which have caused havoc in the u . s . , can be legally purchased .
the manufacturer seems to have made a technological breakthrough , however , in the use of a plastic material for the stock , handguard , pistol grip and magazine . neither the composition of this material nor the identity of the swiss laboratory which developed it has yet been revealed . claimed to be far superior to zytel in its strength and homogeneity , it is said to be capable of withstanding shocks , such as the firing of a grenade , at any temperature from - 40 ' c to + 50 c without its properties being altered . the four surfaces of the handguard and the stock can be submitted to the pendulum test , against steel or concrete , without breakage or cracking resulting .
the design of the sig sg550 . derived from that of the sg540 , incorporates numerous innovations which contribute to its accuracy which is greater than that of the stgw57 - and which make it an almost perfect weapon from the human engineering point of view . the heavy barrel and the chamber are hammered from a single piece . the adjustable sight includes a device for night firing . a folding bipod is attached to the handguard . the shape of the stock facilitates the instinctive shouldering of the weapon and , compared to the stgw57 , the reduction in the height of the weapon decreases by 20 % the area of the target presented by a prone firer . the swiss service - issue accessories comprise a cleaning kit , juxtaposable magazines , a charger and a bayonet . the reload ammunition is kept in ten - round clips ,
although it was recognised that the 7 . 5mm gp11 round was no longer compatible with the nevv requirement for a lighter rifle , the calibre and ammunition had still to be determined . while accepting that combat generally takes place at ranges not exceeding 150 - 200m , the grd nevertheless wished to have a round which would be effective out to 600m . taking this into account , the 5 . 56 x 45mm calibre seemed insufficient , at least in the form of the m 93 round and at a time when the results of the nato trials aimed at adopting a new standard round had not yet been made known . it can be assumed , however , that the promising performance of the new belgian ss109 ammunition had not escaped the attention of the swiss military authorities , since they decided to evaluate two new calibres - 6 . 45mm and 5 . 6mm .
integral rails on the receiver , at the base of the chamber , and a conical mortise machined in the base of the back sight allow the fitting of day or night optical sights . this method has been borrowed from the sg540 where it has worked well . the swiss army maintains that a footsoldier should be able to fight tanks and therefore plans to use the fn / luchaire 58n series rifle grenades which are attached to the flash suppressor and held in place by a collar . the tail of the grenade is fitted with a bullet trap so the projectile can be launched using normal gp90 ammunition . no sighting scale is necessary by lining up the hood protecting the front sight with the outer surface of the grenade , a range of 75m will be reached automatically . for other ranges , however , the firer himself has to estimate the correct angle of elevation .
this was the backdrop for the first scandal involving pilatus , a maker of single - engine aircraft based in central switzerland , which counted among its founders emil georg bührle , father of dieter . in 1978 an anti - establishment magazine revealed that the company ' s pc - 7 training aircraft could be easily adapted to carry bombs .
at first the government denied this ,
said jean - marie pellaux , author of a book on the affair .
then , following various media revelations , it claimed this didn ' t violate swiss law as the planes hadn ' t been modified in switzerland .
nicknamed the
poor man ' s bombers
because of their relatively modest cost , pc - 7s are said to have been used by the cia in laos in 1962 , in myanmar , guatemala , mexico , chile , bolivia and nigeria . more recently pilatus products have been spotted in iraq , south africa and darfur .
the sg550 is mechanically similar to the sg540 and sg543 rifles already described in the idr ( 7 / 1982 , p . 875 ) and which were used as a base for perfecting the new rifle . sig has again designed a gas - operated weapon with a piston acting on the bolt carrier , which locks and unlocks a rotating bolt with two front lugs . that apart , the sg550 is much less complex than the stgw57 , made up of only 174 parts , compared to the 237 of the weapon it will replace . the use of sheetmetal stampings and plastic material has permitted the weight to be reduced to 4kg for the standard rifle fitted with an empty magazine , 0 . 1 kg less than the maximum weight stipulated by the gird . armed with the rifle and the standard service issue of 120 cartridges , the swiss soldier will not have to carry more than 6kg , a load lighter by 4 . 3kg compared to the stgw57 with the same amount of ammunition .
1 - that it should serve as the basis for a family of weapons , including a standard rifle and a shortened version , the latter to be used as a personal weapon for headquarters staff , commanders , tank crews , paratroops , and special units .
3 - that it should be much lighter than the stgw57 which is considered to be too heavy and bulky , thus restricting the soldier ' s battlefield mobility .
the sg550 stripped . from left to right and from bottom to top : gas regulator , upper handguard , barrel / receiver assembly , cocking lever bolt carrier , bolt and firing - pin retaining pin , firing pin and spring , lower handguard , lower - receiver take - down pins , butt / trigger / lower - receiver assembly ' hinged bipod , magazine base , box magazine magazine spring and follower , charger , bayonet and scabbard , cleaning kit , and sling .
in accordance with the staff requirement , the new service rifle is being offered in two versions : the sg550 standard weapon , measuring 100cm in length , and the sg551 short - barrel headquarters weapon which is only 82 . 7cm long and weighs 3 . 43kg . both are fitted with a stock which can be folded , bringing their respective lengths down to 77 and 60cm . unlike the standard version , the sg551 has no bipod or bayonet attachment lug and cannot fire rifle grenades .
although the general design of the new rifle owes a good deal to that of the sg540 , sig has introduced numerous improvements which make the sg550 one of the most carefully conceived assault rifles of the present generation . a description of the gas operation is the best way to support this statement . instead of entering the gas cylinder directly , as is the case with many other gas - operated weapons , the gas passes through the port of the gas intake into an lshaped channel machined in the piston head . it is thus directed forward towards the cylinder head / gas regulator and the build - up of pressure over the piston head makes the piston recoil , transfering its energy to the bolt carrier , which in turn unlocks the bolt . as the piston moves back however , the gas port and the l shaped channel move out of alignment and the piston head thus blocks the port , cutting off the supply of gas to the cylinder . the latter is fitted with an exhaust port through which the surplus gas in the cylinder and the combustion residues are evacuated . this system ensures that only the exact amount of gas needed to impart the necessary momentum to the moving parts is admitted from the bore . the moving parts are therefore subjected to less mechanical stress , increasing their useful life . the rifle is fitted with a two - position gas regulator , which is adjusted either by hand or , if necessary , with the aid of a cartridge or bayonet , so that if the weapon becomes seriously fouled the supply of gas can be increased . with the same aim of reducing wear on the most used parts , the interior of the receiver is fitted with rails which guide the bolt carrier and bolt , thus reducing the transversal stress .
a close - up revealing the ingenious simplicity of the sg550 . the single forward ring holds the gas intake , the gas cylinder and its regulator , the front sights , the bayonet lug and the sling swivel the gas regulator has two positions one for normal operation and one in which the gas supply is increased , for use when the weapon is seriously fouled . the photo shows the night sight raised hiding the day sight . the protective foresight hood is also used for aiming - to give a range of 75m when launching 500g fn / luchaire type 58 - n anti - tank grenades . these grenades can be fired using standard ammunition .
in order to obtain the firing accuracy required by the grid , sig has in particular modified the barrel - manufacturing process . the chamber is now forged at the same time as the bore so that irregularities in alignment which can occur when the bore is hollowed out after hammering are avoided .
the rear sight is soldered on to the back of the receiver . it is fitted with a fourposition drum adjusted by means of micrometer screws for elevation and windage . adjustment of the drum by one notch displaces the point of impact by 25mm at 100m . at ranges of 200 , 300 and 400m , the firer aims through an aperture sight . for firing at 100m or less , he has an open sight , which is flanked by two luminous tritium spots for night firing . the foresight is protected by a hood and is doubled by a folding night sight which , when erected , reveals the third luminous spot necessary for night firing . the sight base is 540mm ( 466mm on the sg551 ) , which is one of the longest on a modern assault rifle after the heckler & koch g41 ( 556mm ) . when the day sight is adjusted , the night sight is also adjusted automatically .
the aluminium bipod is no longer fixed by a ring to the barrel but its attachment is slid inside the lower handguard and held in place by the upper handguard . it therefore no longer contributes to barrel vibration , a phenomenon which , in the case of the sg542 , could displace the point of impact by 20cm at 300m .
even more significant was the result of a test in which 24 long - version rifles , mounted on their bipods , were used by four firers , each firer firing two serials of ten shots each from each rifle . the average grouping ( 100 points ) was 21 . 8x i 9 . 4cm ( 91 . 1 points ) when the aperture sight was used and 18 . 4 x 17cm ( 93 . 1 points ) when a telescopic sight with x 4 magnification was used . when eight of the headquarters weapons were tested under the same conditions , it was found that the shorter barrel did not affect accuracy when the telescopic sight was used ( rectangular grouping of 18 . 4 x 16 . 8cm - 93 . 6 points ) although , with a sight base shorter by 74mm , there was some effect on accuracy when the mechanical sights were used ( 25 x 22 . 2cm . - 88 . 8 points ) .
the sg550 and sg551 are not far from perfection as far as their human engineering is concerned . operation of the rifle is as easy for left - handed firers as it is for right - handed ones , as far as manipulation of the cocking handle ( slightly turning the rifle if necessary ) , the magazine catch and the fire - selector on the right - hand side of the receiver are concerned . the fire - selector , which is combined with the manual safety , falls easily under the thumb and can be manipulated by the firer without his having to take his hand off the pistol grip . the boltstop catch is perhaps more difficult for the left - handed firer to manipulate , but he can free the bolt by a light pull on the cocking lever , which is covered with soft rubber . finally , the trigger guard is hinged and can be swung to the left or to the right for firing with arctic - gloved hands .
after the first in - service trials , sig modified the shape and position of the pistol grip , both to obtain the optimum distance between the hand and the trigger , and to bring the hand nearer to the axis of the bore to increase stability when firing and to reduce muzzle climb . or was able to confirm during an exclusive test accorded it by sig that these aims have been achieved , both in semi - automatic and in automatic fire .
because the sights are quite low , standing about 35mm high from the axis of the barrel , the firer , when in the prone position , presents a target which is about 20 % smaller than is the case with the stgw57 . the relatively thin stock facilitates the instinctive shouldering of the rifle for firing , with the shooting eye falling naturally on to the line of sight . the stock is semi - skeleton in form , thus lightening the rifle , but above all offering a very firm grip if the soldier has to deal a blow , parry a thrust , or use his bayonet . the butt plate is made of hardened non - slip rubber which gives excellent grip even when the rifle is shouldered against a wet or snowcovered battledress , and which allows the weapon to be used as a support to help the soldier in mountainous terrain .
when the stock is folded along the right side of the rifle , it is held in place by a stud on the lower handguard which engages a stud socket in the butt . a good pull brings the stock back to its initial position into which it is locked automatically by a butt catch . it is to be regretted , however , that when the stock is folded it is relatively difficult for left - handed firers to remove or insert the magazine .
the thickness of the handguard has been kept down so that the soldier can comfortably carry his rifle by holding it with one hand near the chamber , under which is the weapon ' s centre of gravity , thus obviating the need for a carrying handle .
the handguard extends as far forward as the front ring to prevent the firer ' s hand from being burned by contact with an overheated barrel . this single ring fulfills several functions : it holds the handguard in place and it supports the gas intake port , the gas cylinder / regulator , the bayonet attachment lug , the sling swivel and the front sights and their protective hood .
field - stripping and reassembly , which can be carried out without any tools , is simpler again than with the sg540 , whether it involves withdrawing the cocking handle , extracting the gas cylinder , or dismantling the bipod and the handguard , the two sections of which slide into one another and are secured by hooks .
the right - hand side of the sg550 , with the stock folded and held in place by a stud on the lower handguard . it should be noted that , in this position , the stock makes manipulation of the magazine awkward for left - handed firers . two rubber sealing flanges seal the cockinglever channel and protect the mechanism from dirt . ventilation slots in the handguard help to cool the barrel and raise the cook - off threshold to 240 rounds / min . the handguards are not bulky and the rifle can be carried in one hand , holding it level with the chamber , under which the weapon ' s centre of gravity is situated .
while sig has made no great innovations in the fabrication of the metal parts of the sg550 and sg551 compared with the sg540 , the company has nevertheless increased the strength and rigidity of the receiver , particularly the magazine housing and the rear part against which the bolt assembly recoils . it has not been considered necessary to chrome the bore , but the barrel , which is drawn from a chrome - nickel - steel bar , is thicker , particularly at the chamber , where its diameter is 28mm . great attention has been paid to protecting the exterior surfaces because of the severe conditions which can be encountered in switzerland . after being phosphatised but before finishing , the metal is subjected to a treatment which smooths the surfaces and which , according to sig , greatly increases its resistance to knocks and to corrosive agents .
despite the low weight of the magazine - 90g for the 20 - round version , and 11 0g for the 30 - round one - it is just as robust and , being transparent , permits a rapid check of the number of rounds remaining . loaded , it will withstand being dropped from a height of 5m on to hard ground , even at - 30 ' c . during endurance tests , it was thrown 45 times on to concrete from a height of 1 . 5m , with the lips facing downwards , without any deformation occurring . even when empty , it can support the weight of a man without breaking or bending . finally , it is f lameresistant , and in intense cold more comfortable to handle than a metal magazine . more than 800 , 000 rounds were fired using the first 40 of the 105 prototype weapons produced for the competitive evaluation phase , without any malfunctions attributable to the magazine . since the reliability of an automatic weapon depends first and foremost on that of its magazine , such qualities deserve to be underlined , as idr has already done in the case of the magazine used in the steyr - poch aug - 77 ( see idr 10 / 1982 , pp . 1 421 - 1424 ) .
drawing on the common practice of taping one or more magazines together ( lying head - totoe in relation to another ) to speed up reloading , sig has taken out a patent for a
multipack
system , approved by the grd which allows the soldier to fix three or more magazines under his rifle . to fit the magazines together , all that is necessary is to insert two studs on the right - hand wall of the second magazine into two u - shaped slots fitted against the lefthand wall of the first magazine which is engaged in the rifle . one slot is open towards the top and the other towards the front ( see photo ) . a third magazine can be attached in the same way to the second . as all the magazines have slots and studs , there is no preferential order . one advantage of this system is that all the magazines are in the upright posi tion , lessening the risk of dirt entering the spare magazines if accidentally banged against the ground . even if , despite all , they are exposed to sand , mud or snow , the presence of these foreign agents is more easily spotted because the magazines are transparent . in addition , the gap between each magazine has been carefully calculated so that the magazine can be switched with one hand without any fumbling - the author put this to the test at length .
the cook - off threshold of the ammunition is high , being situated at 240 rounds / min compared with the 160 rounds / min specified by the grd this results from the carefully calculated thickness of the rear end of the barrel which ensures good heat diffusion during tests , the highest temperature was recorded at a point 1 5cm from the chamber - and from the good ventilation given by the openings in the handguard . operating safety is also increased by a safety catch which pre vents the hammer from falling until the breech is completely locked . in accordance with the specifications , the rifle withstands the firing of at least 600 500g grenades with the stock braced against concrete ( the manufacturer claims to have fired more than 1 , 000 without incident ) and also the traditional 2m drop test , from any angle .
the sg550 and sg551 came through various reliability tests with excellent results , due in large part to the improvement made in waterproofing the receiver as compared to the sg540 . thus , the channel along which the cocking lever rides on each side is sealed by a flange of supple , resistant rubber which protects the mechanism from foreign bodies . the new rifles stood up well to exposure to dust in both static and dynamic tests which were followed each time by the firing of 100 rounds on semi - automatic and 2
20 rounds in bursts . they also coped successfully with the sand test : the loaded rifle , with the bolt locked , was dragged 20 times on each side through sand at an angle of 55 degrees over a distance of 2 . 5m and at a speed of 0 . 5m / s . after each time , the rifle had to fire five rounds without jamming . for the mud test , the grd adopted the nato norm of 12 successive baths . the sg550 and sg551 came through it all with flying colours .
the operational tests were carried out at a temperature of - 20 ' c on the jungfraujoch , at more than 4 , 000m ( i 3 , 000ft ) altitude , the tests included filling the loaded weapon , bolt open , with snow and leaving it until it was frozen solid . a soldier then had to be able to make it ready to fire within 30 seconds using only his service - issue equipment of knife , bayonet and cleaning kit . . . and by vigorous kicks on the cocking lever .
the barrel is fitted with a flash suppressor with the standard diameter of 22mm . there are plans to design a new bayonet for the rifle even though the current service model can be fitted . par
ticular care has been taken with the shape and orientation of the flash - suppressor slots in order to reduce muzzle flash and avoid sand or snow being kicked up by the gas escaping once the bullet has cleared the barrel , when firing in the prone position .
the soldier will normally carry his spare ammunition in ten - round clips . using a charger , he reloads the magazine by simple thumb pressure .
the service - issue cleaning kit , which was designed with the needs of competition shooting in mind , is quite voluminous and has to be carried separately . the manufacturer has , however , de signed a smaller kit , which can be fitted in the rifle ' s pistol grip , for export .
the standard - version sg550 and the short - version sg551 head uarters weapon . because of budgetary constraints , the gruppe for r6stungsdienste ( grid ) has provisionally shelved its plans to procure the sg551 , even though this version fully meets the specifications of the staff requirement . sig will nevertheless offer both versions for export . the short version is not fitted with a bipod and cannot be armed with a bayonet , nor can it fire grenades ,
as far as exports are concerned , the new family of rifles will also be available with a 1 - in - 1 78mm rifling twist to fire the ss109 nato standard ammunition . they are not likely to be among the cheapest in their category , but these are comprehensively designed weapons . in addition to offering all of the functions a modern assault rifle is expected to perform , at a high quality / price ratio , they have an estimated service life of 30 years - which speaks volumes for their intrinsic sturdiness .

these guns were repainted and modified versions of used models purchased in switzerland . in an email to one of the stores that was selling the guns , the rcmp said they suspected the guns could be converted to automatic weapons .
automatic weapons are banned in canada . semi - automatics are allowed as long as their magazines hold only five rounds .
it ' s not clear why the rcmp decided to prohibit a whole class of guns , including about 2 , 000 that had been legally purchased in canada . the rcmp did not make an announcement about the ban and has not answered calls or emails from cbc news .
the national firearms association published the news about the ban on its facebook page and website , and portrayed the prohibition as the beginning of a siege on other types of guns .
monday afternoon , after the matter had been brought up by conservative mps in the house of commons who promised to support law - abiding gun owners , public safety minister steven blaney ' s office issued a statement announcing the amnesty .
the minister announced his intent to bring forward an amnesty to ensure that individuals in possession of these firearms can continue to possess their property without threat of criminal charges ,
wrote spokesman jean - christophe de le rue .
j . r . cox , who operates the shooting edge , a calgary gun store , told cbc the military - style carbines are the most expensive on the market , costing about $ 4 , 000 .
there is a movement within the rcmp and they don ' t like to see guns in the hands of anybody but themselves ,
he said about the mounties ' attempt to put them on a prohibited list .
this story has been updated from an earlier version to correct that the amnesty is for two years .
this story has been updated from an earlier version to correct that the amnesty is for five years .

supports colleges in enhancing the employability quotient of their students and strengthening their institutional value .
a new delhi - based employment solutions company , aspiring minds , conducted an employability - focused study based on 150 , 000 engineering students who graduated in 2013 . the findings were rather shocking .
as many as 97 per cent of graduating engineers want jobs either in software engineering or core engineering . however , only 3 per cent have suitable skills to be employed in software or product market , and only 7 per cent can handle core engineering tasks .
according to the hrd ministry , india has 6 , 214 engineering and technology institutions which are enrolling 2 . 9 million students . around 1 . 5 million engineers are released into the job market every year . but the dismal state of higher education in india ensures that they simply do not have adequate skills to be employed .
so , what can happen when such a large population of youth do not get jobs ? experts say that this may cause serious instability in the economic and social conditions in the country , along with wide scale dissatisfaction and disillusionment .
though the quantity of universities , colleges and programmes are going on increasing in the country , the lack of quality education persists . profit - hungry managements , lack of skill education , resplendent corruption , focus on rote - learning methods , and shortage of faculty ( both in quantity and quality ) are the major issues plaguing higher education . graduates are collecting their degrees despite not being skilled enough to be a productive part of the indian economy .
the ability to apply the concepts learnt to constantly develop innovative things and find solutions to complex problems are main factors working behind the employability of an engineer .
the state of the economy also plays a major role for employment generation . industry insiders say that in a strained economic condition , companies do not want to spend much on training and would prefer candidates with some skill sets who can be made billable soon .
location factor : according to the aspiring minds report , in tier - 1 cities such as mumbai , bangalore and hyderabad , 18 . 26 per cent of software engineers are job ready , while in tier - 2 cities such as pune , nagpur and surat , 14 . 17 per cent are employable
this shows that the candidates from lower tier cities are not getting the same opportunities as those hailing from tier - 1 cities , even if they are equally qualified and skilled . the chances of finding a job for such a person is 24 per cent lower and the earning per - year salary would also be rs 66 , 000 lesser
problems with english language along with issues in computer programming make these students ineligible for employment . the difference in english and cognitive skill modules may only be a function of the input quality of the students . there is a consistent trend that the maximum gap is in computer programming , followed by cognitive skills and english and least in other domain skills .
basically the tier 3 cities are the one with the lowest employability rate . this is because of the insufficient infrastructure for developing skilled specific knowledge .
the course contents do not focus on areas which will actually help in the job industry after employment . there is a big gap between what the market needs and what indian education equips its future employees with . despite exponential changes in science and technology round the world , the syllabus is hardly ever updated .
for instance , while mobile computing is proving to be the next growth driver for the industry , the curriculum does not reflect it ,
says bharwani .
the traditional education sector in india has not evolved at the same pace as the industry . the expectations that the companies have from their candidates and the skills that engineering graduates bring in , do not match ,
he adds .
there are more than 33 , 023 colleges in india granting degrees . there are not enough quality teachers for all of these educational institutes .
after multinational companies , the it big shots of india , and the smaller engineering companies have had their pick , many from the remaining engineering graduates go on to get a phd and join as faculty at engineering institutes . thus , unlike other parts of the world , the indian faculty is not comprised of the very best of the industries who have the skills to create brilliant students .
most educated engineers join teaching as a profession not because of passion , but because they have to earn a livelihood . the few good professors prefer administrative positions because of lower intellectual demands coupled with higher pay packages .
students need to be motivated enough to innovate or think for themselves . as the new hrd minister prakash javadekar recently said ,
why do we lack innovation in india ? because , we don ' t allow questioning . we don ' t promote inquisitiveness . if a child asks questions in school , he is asked to sit down . this should not go on . we need to promote inquisitiveness , children should ask questions .
students must be given the space and scope to think and innovate , to question and come up with solutions . this applies to both school education and higher education .
such are indian students trained right from their primary education that they never learn to question or innovate . rote learning instils in students a sort of complacency for more than 12 years of education and they are unable to make the shift from un - questioning learners to innovators in the job market .
semester systems and the process of continuous evaluation are not fulfilling their desired roles as the students are not interested in continuous learning - they only want good grades . unless the specific purpose of such initiatives is properly understood by faculty and students alike , these methods likely would not work .
skill - based education is another immediate need . engineering students need to have hands - on training on the basis of the problems they are likely to encounter in the real world .
one of the major problems facing the fresh graduates is their insufficient understanding of basic concepts . the lack of in - depth understanding of technical information , lack of client - handling skills and insufficient knowledge across domains are the major skill gaps in the area ,
says bharwani .
while the vast numbers of engineering students in the country study their textbooks , give their exams and collect their degrees , it is only when they encounter the real world problems do they realise their shortfall . by then , they have to take extra time in order to skill themselves or suffer unemployment .
initiatives like the start - up india and make in india are positive efforts taken by the government in this direction to boost employment opportunities for engineers ,
he adds , however .
according to the aspiring minds report , companies are prone to visiting only top colleges to recruit potential employees . thus , resumes from relatively unknown colleges do not get shortlisted .
this not only creates a lack in equal opportunities , but also causes a deficiency of quality employees as this process ignores a huge number of meritorious students who do not study in top tier colleges .
a major cause of mushrooming engineering colleges is the ease with which state governments grant permission to little - known barely - trained educational trusts and organisations to set up the same .
karnataka ' s visvesvaraya technological university ( vtu ) oversees as many as 200 engineering colleges , while in all the 50 us states combined , there are about 1 , 000 accredited engineering colleges .
the aspiring minds report says that despite the fact that the it sector carries out the highest number of recruitments from the pool of engineers , only 18 . 43 per cent engineers are skilled enough to work there , while , for it product roles , the numbers are as low as 3 . 21 per cent .
due to comparatively higher employment in the it sector , students even from other disciplines take up it - related courses . thus , the end result of this inadequate education creates engineering graduates who are not well - versed in their core subjects , nor in it .
the study attributes the lack of english communicative skills , which they found in 73 . 63 per cent of candidates , and low analytical and quantitative skills , which they discovered in 57 . 96 per cent of candidates to be other main reasons for unemployment .
even the it sector requires employers who are fluent and well versed in english , as within around two years of experience on the job , they would have to communicate with international customers . thus , if the quality of engineering graduates do not improve , it sector hiring will also go down .
soft skills have become very important in the present job industry , but they are routinely ignored in educational institutes .
this is perhaps the trickiest issue ,
says bharwani .
the lack of ability of the individual to deliver his views effectively at the interview leads to rejection of even the most brilliant candidate . this is because training institutes do not make an effort to ensure that the candidates develop their skills in a wholesome manner which can contribute towards client - handling and team communication skills .
the government of india needs to sit up and take notice of the issues that are threatening the very future and stability of our country .
