The KH2002 Khaybar is an Iranian-designed assault rifle, derived from the DIO S 5.56 assault rifle and further developed by Iran's Defense Industries Organization (DIO).[1] It was designed in 2001 with samples produced in 2003 with the eventual production of the KH2002 commencing in 2004. It is similar in appearance to the FAMAS assault rifle.[2]
Design
The KH2002 features a four-position fire selector lever which is situated toward the rear of the left side butt-stock behind magazine housing.[3] The weapon is not ambidextrous.[4]
The selector offers semi-automatic, fully automatic and three-round burst options,[1] with the safety selection in the forward position.
The DIO promotes the KH2002 as a "low-recoil, highly accurate, lightweight" weapon, with "modular construction for easy maintenance" and a rotating bolt locking mechanism, presumably designed to facilitate ambidextrous firing, protected under a carrying handle that contains the rear sight.[2] The carrying handle can also be used to mount optical or night sights.[5]
The weight of the KH2002 with the long barrel and an empty 30-round magazine is given as 3.7 kg. The weapon can also be fitted with an optional bipod and a bayonet.[2][5] The KH2002 appears to be made of two plastic shells, one holding the grip barrel and gas tube and the other housing the M16 type bolt and hammer.
