The MTAL Venom – Rheimetall’s robust and versatile new laser module for assault rifles

Laser modules for small arms are used for detecting, identifying and marking targets. Rheinmetall offers an impressive array of products in this area. At Enforce Tac 2024, Rheinmetall Soldier Electronics of Stockach, Germany, will be showcasing its Multiple Tactical Aiming Laser “Venom”, a versatile and robust new laser module specially designed for use with assault rifles.

The MTAL Venom features an extremely powerful visible green or red laser target pointer, an IR target point laser, an electronically focusable IR illuminator and IR close-range illuminator. All these functions are aligned in the factory in a fully integrated laser block, making adjustment on the weapon easy. Like all Rheinmetall laser and laser light modules, the MTAL Venom can be configured to meet customer specifications, e.g., with SWIR lasers. Moreover, the MTAL Venom is compatible with all standard residual light amplifiers.

Watertight, light and stable, the MTAL Venom’s metal housing has an integrated MIL-STD 1913/STANAG 4694 interface. Including the two IEC CR17345/CR123 batteries, the complete device weighs less than 210 grams. Thanks to its compact dimensions (113 x 64 x 46 mm L/W/H), it protrudes only 28 mm above the assembly rail, and does not interfere with line-of-sight optical aiming. Depending on the choice of laser class (up to three on the device here), the MTAL Venom remains watertight for at least two hours at depths of up to 30 metres. Furthermore, thanks to the Group’s new BEACON battlefield identification system, the Venom can interact with all other Rheinmetall laser and laser light modules.

Rheinmetall offers an extensive portfolio of infantry equipment, including a variety of aiming and illuminator modules, specifically developed to enhance the combat effectiveness of small arms. Among these products is the LLM VarioRay laser light module, which is in service with numerous armed forces and has been selected for the Bundeswehr’s new assault rifle, the “System Sturmgewehr”. Another top Rheinmetall product is the FCS-TacRay Ballistic, a combined fire control system/rangefinder/ballistic computer for snipers and machine-gunners.
