DTS XM3A1

Multi-Caliber Automatic Assault Rifle

TypeMulti-caliber automatic assault rifle
Weight2.8 kg
Calibers223 REM / 308 WIN / 338 WHISPER
Key Capabilities
01

Tool-Free Multi-Caliber Conversion

Transforms from a light 223 REM assault rifle to a 308 WIN marksman rifle or 338 WHISPER special operations variant without special tools — swapping barrel, upper, and magazine in the field.

Patented Duplicated Gas System

Short-stroke gas piston system with spaced circuits and double telescopic springs eliminates vertical barrel recoil, increasing accuracy and reliability under adverse conditions. Adjustable gas vent adapts to any ammunition.

Sub-0.5 MOA Accuracy

Precision-engineered aluminum chassis, DLC-coated bolt action group, and eliminated vertical recoil combine to deliver less than 0.5 MOA groupings across all calibers.

04

Fully Ambidextrous Operation

All controls including the reloading grip on the forend are fully ambidextrous, enabling rapid, ergonomic operation for left- and right-handed operators without modification.

05

Foldable Stock — Full Functionality

The buttstock folds for compact transport yet the rifle retains full firing functionality when folded — critical for vehicle crews and airborne operators.

06

Multiple Military Unit Modifications

Available in different configurations tailored for infantry, special operations forces, designated marksman roles, and vehicle-mounted use — all sharing the same core receiver.
