Vektor R4
The Vektor R4 is a South African 5.56×45mm assault rifle.
It entered service as the standard service rifle of the South African Defence Force (SADF) in 1980.
In South African service, the R4 replaced the R1, a variant of the 7.62×51mm FN FAL.
It was produced by Lyttelton Engineering Works (LIW, "Lyttelton Ingenieurswerke"), now Denel Land Systems.
The weapon is a licensed variant of the IMI Galil assault rifle with several modifications; both the stock and magazine are now made of a high-strength polymer and the stock was lengthened, adapting the weapon for the average South African soldier.
Other detailed differences include the R4's lack of a carry handle and a number of modifications made to its internal operating mechanism.
The R4 is a selective fire, gas-operated weapon that fires from a closed bolt.
As with the IMI Galil, the operating system is derived from that of the AK-47.
