Operation[]
The LSW-51 Is a Rotating bolt, short stroke firearm, for increased reliability. It feeds from a 200 round high capacity drum mag that is a sub of the P-MAG series, and so the magazine is compatible with any P-MAG accepting platform. This means that with a fire select and bolt mod, The LSW-51 can easily be converted into an AR/DMR/Carbine. In actuality, The Centaur is a mod of APR’s first weapon, The MAR-56 Perceus.
