The NGR Model No.03 is a 7.92x33mm or a 7.62x39mm assault rifle, firing from a closed rotary bolt. Its design and functioning is similar to that of the P90 sub-machine gun, of which it is a derivative.
The materials used to build the NGR X3 are almost entirely composites — with the notable exception of the cold hammer forged steel barrel. Preliminary tests in desert and Arctic conditions have shown NGR X3 to be a rugged weapon and is reported to be capable of firing 12,000 rounds without cleaning or lubrication and has a barrel life of approximately 20,000 - 21,000 rounds whereas when compared with The M16A2, the latter needs to be cleaned more often, and has a barrel life of approximately 7,000–8,000 rounds.
The Weight of the Assault Rifle has been greatly reduced from the earlier 4.2kg to 3.5kg when Fully loaded with a clip of 40 rounds.
