<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Designed by Maztech Industries, the X4-Fire Control System<\/a> (FCS) is going to revolutionize the shooting world. Built as the motherboard for many future systems, the FCS housing will provide “real-time ballistic calculations using temperature, pressure, humidity, altitude, pitch, roll, and heading. Combining these parameters with user-supplied bullet and firearm data, the X4-FCS generates a precision ballistic compensated offset reticle.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The
Maztech Industries X4-FCS with an attached laser rangefinder.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The X4-FCS provides a real-time ballistics calculator with environmental sensors that will be digitally overlaid in the window of most 30 and 34mm low powered variable optics (LPVOs). This allows users to mount their current day optic to this system, re-zero, enter the parameters and then have custom holds displayed on their reticle. The system will give the equivalent of a 1.93″ mount allowing for the higher cheek weld everyone is after these days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The
X4-FCS is machined with scope rings to accommodate standard LPVOs.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The X4-FCS is machined down from a solid 7075-T6 aluminum billet and is designed to meet MIL-STD-810 environmental specifications. It is IP67 rated to work at least 30 minutes under 1 meter of water as well as stand up to dust and sand. The operating temperature range is listed as -40 to 140 degrees Fahrenheit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mounting to MIL-STD-1913 rails, this system is very versatile. Utilizing two 18650 or 4 CR123A batteries, the X4-FCS has the juice to stay powered up for around 520 hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Battery compartment.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Partnering with Magpul, Maztech is also working on proprietary mags, that will show the exact round count on the digital overlay shown in the reticle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Designed to be the beginning of a whole ecosystem, the X4-FCS will be able to display many other forms of relevant information. What I am most excited about is the combination of the FCS, with the bolt-on X4 laser rangefinder (LRF) which is supposed to be released in early 2023. The LRF paired with the FCS will allow for real-time rangefinding and ballistics calculations to dramatically decrease engagement times for further targets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The
Rugged 7075-T6 housing.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This technology is going to allow inexperienced shooters to get consistent hits at extended distances. The biggest downside I have seen is the weight. Coming in at 20.8oz in addition to whatever LPVO you decide to run, this will not be a lightweight setup. However, when expecting shots to go out past 300 yards this is going to be a complete game-changer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maztech is expecting to ship these X4 Fire Control Systems<\/a> by the end of 2022 and will be adding situational awareness components to integrate soon thereafter. With an estimated MSRP of somewhere in the low $2,000s, this powerful technology way undercuts current ballistic calculators and will be sold directly to civilians. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
