Russian BRT Setkomet Anti-Drone Net Launching Muzzle Device By: Hrachya H
The BRT Setkomet is designed for AK-74 and AK-12 rifles. The system consists of a muzzle attachment, the net holding base and the net. There are 10 metal pins attached to the edges of the net that make it spread out in the air. The pins are loaded into the holes along the circumference of the base and the net itself is rolled in the middle area. The whole assembly is then secured with shrink wrap. The net is launched using blank cartridges, but an additional booster powder charge can also be loaded into the device itself.
The diameter of the net is 3 meters. The advertised effective range is 40 meters. The company claims that it’s easier to hit small airborne targets with the net than with birdshot. After firing, the Setkomet can be quickly reloaded with a new base/net assembly.
The launcher is made of steel and aluminum with nickel plating and powder-coated finishes. The external diameter of the device is 50mm.
Below you can find a video where they test the Setkomet.
As seen in the video, when first installing the Setkomet on an AK-74, you need to cut a notch for the rifle’s muzzle device retaining plunger; I wonder why they didn’t make a ratchet-teeth mechanism like they have on many of their suppressors (BRT is one of the leading suppressor manufacturers in Russia).
The price of the BRT Setkomet in Russia is 17,000 rubles ($200) for the AK74 version and 18,000 rubles ($212) for the AK-12 version. That’s a lot of rubles considering that the company sells full-auto rated AK suppressors (which I guess are more costly and harder to produce) for as low as 10,900 rubles (about $128).
