AMG-3™ Assault Machine Gun
FightLite Industries
The New FightLite® AMG-3™ (Assault Machine Gun) is a lightweight, air cooled, gas-piston/pusher-rod operated, Dual-Feed®, Automatic Weapon that operates reliably with both M16 rifle magazines and M27 linked ammunition common to the M249 SAW. It functions in both semi-automatic and full-automatic modes of fire permitting the user to selectively engage the enemy with precision or suppressive fires as needed. The gas-piston operation directs most of the propellant gases and fouling forward and out of the muzzle allowing the AMG-3™ to remain less fouled in adverse conditions and during extended periods of use.
Unlike typical belt-fed platforms, our newest member of the AMG family features a unique left-to-right side opening feed cover. This addition is not only more robust, but also allows for a full length, co-planar 1913 picatinny top rail. This immense amount of unrivaled real estate is ideal for the addition of lights, lasers, optics, magnifiers, and thermal or NVG units in any combination, without the placement limitations of a typical top opening feed cover. The AMG-3™, like all FightLite® Belt-Feds, retains a True Quick-Change barrel that can be swapped by the user without tools in as little as 3 seconds. AMG-3™ barrels are available in 12.5”, 16.25” and 20” inch lengths for both heat mitigation and maximum mission flexibility - from suppressed CQB to wide open terrain.
The AMG-3™ boasts a 50% weight reduction over the M249 SAW allowing users to be faster, less fatigued and more agile during aggressive and highly dynamic combat operations. Sound suppressor and grenade launcher capable, the AMG-3™ is designed for a lifetime of hard use and is simple to maintain in the field without tools or special equipment. And for decreased training time and reduced logistical footprint, the AMG-3™ shares significant ergonomics and part commonality with the infantry rifle making it easier to support in the field.
Precision manufactured in the USA from high-strength aerospace alloys; the compact and portable Assault Machine Gun provides an individual operator with an unprecedented combination of swift mobility and accurate, decisive firepower during high speed combat operations.

MXR® Caliber Convertible Submachine Gun
FightLite Industries
The compact, lightweight and reliable FightLite® MXR® leads the submachine gun arena with an accurate and ruggedized weapon that streamlines user and agency logistics for improved mission capability. Patented features and smart product design reduce operator burden by providing complete ammunition and magazine interchangeability between the user’s primary sidearm and their pistol caliber MXR® carbine.
The patented MXR® is primarily chambered in 9 x 19mm NATO and is caliber convertible at the user level without tools to accommodate 7 different calibers including .22LR for cost effective training, 5.7 x 28mm for high velocity trajectory with armor piercing capability at short to medium ranges, and 10 x 25mm Auto for hard-hitting terminal performance. Principally configured with Glock® pattern magazines, the FightLite® MXR® is also convertible at the user level to accept common pistol magazines from a variety of manufacturers including Beretta®, S&W®, Sig Sauer®, FN®, CZ®, Walther® and others.
The MXR® ambidextrous reciprocating charging handle and ambidextrous controls with 3-position pictogram selector markings provide the advantages of ergonomic user interface and integral bolt forward assist, with the ability to quietly chamber and confirm loaded round. Engineered and produced in the USA of aerospace grade materials combined with high-impact polymer components for a lifetime of hard use; the MXR® monolithic receiver features either MIL-STD 1913 or STANAG 4694 NATO Accessory Rails (NAR) at the 6 and 12 o’clock positions and Magpul® M-LOK interfaces at 3 and 9 o’clock positions for optimum strength and accessory retention.
Configured with time-proven blowback operation from a closed bolt and a quick-change threaded barrel for suppressor use; the MXR® can be field stripped in seconds without tools to provide for easy takedown, maintenance, and mission-specific configuration. Further MXR® customization is provided with use of an M16/M4 compatible fire control group, pistol grip and receiver extension (buffer) tube interfaces to suit user preferences and ergonomics.
Available in semi-automatic pistol, carbine and select-fire submachine gun models suitable for law enforcement and military use. MXR® - One Weapon, ANY Mission!®
