The LVOA-C is an AR-15 manufactured by North Carolina-based War Sport Industries.
Specifications
The LVOA-C (manufactured by War Sport Industries by Inventor Joey Boswell) is a direct gas-impingement (DGI) operated rifle based on the AR-15. It features a proprietary barrel shroud with an integrated muzzle brake/flash suppressor which serves its intended manufacturing purpose to be a close quarter combat weapon with a low visibility operation application (LVOA). The assault rifle features both chamber options of 5.56X45mm NATO rounds and .223 Wylde.
The LVOA-C weighs 7 pounds (3.2 kg) unloaded (7.5 pounds (3.4 kg) with a 30-round magazine) and measures 35.5 inches (90 cm) in length (32.75 inches (83.2 cm) with a closed stock).[1] It has been widely used by private military companies for overseas and domestic operations due to its reliability, low recoil and visual signature. [citation needed]
History
According to War Sport Industries, the rifle was developed as its support "Low Visibility Operation / Applications for the modern war fighter."[2] in an effort to provide a relevant response to the current unconventional warfare requiring high mobility and low visibility in confined environments.
Media presence
The LVOA-C has been highly advertised in video games and movies for its engaging design and innovative proprietary barrel shroud[citation needed]. It is present in Ubisoft's Tom Clancy's The Division & Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Wildlands video game franchise. It is also a weapon available in Tencent Games' Battle Royale Shooter Ring Of Elysium and Battlestate Games' Escape from Tarkov. Its media presence has been a major factor in the recent success of War Sport Industries, which saw its personnel roster growing from "two employees, to over twenty"[2] from 2013 to 2016.
