MP7A1 with LLM01 and [Zeiss](/source/Carl_Zeiss_AG) RSA reflex red dot sight.[3] The **LLM01** (Laser Light Module 01) is an adaptive target acquisition module made by [Rheinmetall Soldier Electronics GmbH](/source/Oerlikon_Contraves) in [Stockach](/source/Stockach), [Germany](/source/Germany). It is designed to be mounted with a metal integral quick release clamping adapter on the left side of the carry handle adapter of [Heckler & Koch G36](/source/Heckler_%26_Koch_G36) [assault rifles](/source/Assault_rifle). It can also be attached to other [firearms](/source/Firearms), such as the [Heckler & Koch MP7](/source/Heckler_%26_Koch_MP7) [submachine gun](/source/Submachine_gun)[1] and [L85A2](/source/SA80#L85A2) assault rifle. ## Operation modes The LLM01 offers the following "lighting and/or sighting" options:[2] - White light [halogen](/source/Halogen_lamp) [incandescent](/source/Incandescent_light_bulb) [flashlight](/source/Flashlight), 6–8 [W](/source/Watt), 90–120 [lm](/source/Lumen_(unit)), 2.5–4 [kcd](/source/Candela), 100–120 m ANSI/NEMA FL 1-2009 beam distance; - Non eye-safe [laser sight](/source/Laser_applications#Laser_sight), the visibility depends on the environmental light conditions, suited for quick shots. At dusk the red laser dot is visible just over 150 m; - [Infrared](/source/Infrared) (IR) laser, visible only when LUCIE (part of Germany's [IdZ](/source/IdZ) modernization program) or another infrared [night vision device](/source/Night_vision_device) is used, unless the enemy has IR night vision equipment the IR laser will not reveal the presence of the LLM01 IR light beam; - Infrared target illuminator, the IR illuminator has a maximum range of up to 10 m; - Combinations of white light flashlight and laser red dot and IR laser and IR target illuminator, appropriate for simultaneous lighting and aim point determination. The LLM01 is operated at the top of the module using a labelled rotary selector switch to switch the device on or off and select various lighting options. The device activation can alternately be performed by a pressure switch connected by cable to the LLM01 device, which can be attached at various positions on the G36 assault rifle or other firearm. Both laser markers can be adjusted independently in azimuth and elevation for adapting them to the firearm to which the LLM01 is fastened. The LLM01 is waterproof up to 20 m.[4] The flashlight module can also be swapped out for a laser head which will produce a visible red laser or IR laser and can be used as a pointer or a flood IR/red visible illuminator.[2] The [German Army](/source/German_Army) has started to field an upgraded variant of their basic G36 rifle, which has been allocated the in-service designation G36A2. The G36A2 upgrade kit consists amongst other features of a new handguard with three Picatinny rails and a handgrip with an integrated switch for operating the LLM01 laser light module. ## Users - [Austria](/source/Austria) - [Algeria](/source/Algeria) - [Denmark](/source/Denmark) - [Germany](/source/Germany) - [Lithuania](/source/Lithuania) - [Malaysia](/source/Malaysia) - [Netherlands](/source/Netherlands) - [United Kingdom](/source/United_Kingdom) - [Slovakia](/source/Slovakia) ## References 1. ^ [***a***](#cite_ref-specs_1_1-0) [***b***](#cite_ref-specs_1_1-1) [Laser Light Module LLM01 from Oerlikon Contraves GmbH](https://www.rheinmetall-defence.com/index.php?lang=3&fid=2174) [Archived](https://web.archive.org/web/20100125230111/http://www.rheinmetall-defence.com/index.php?lang=3&fid=2174) 2010-01-25 at the [Wayback Machine](/source/Wayback_Machine) 1. ^ [***a***](#cite_ref-specs_2_2-0) [***b***](#cite_ref-specs_2_2-1) [***c***](#cite_ref-specs_2_2-2) [Laser-Light-Module LLM01 Description and Operation](http://www.altrus.com.sg/Files/DF408570FVP_EN_Description%20and%20Operation_LLM%2001_F.pdf) [Archived](https://web.archive.org/web/20110903205141/http://www.altrus.com.sg/Files/DF408570FVP_EN_Description%20and%20Operation_LLM%2001_F.pdf) 2011-09-03 at the [Wayback Machine](/source/Wayback_Machine) 1. **[^](#cite_ref-3)** [Zeiss RSA-S Reflex Sight](http://www.zeiss.com/C1257088004A21CA/Contents-Frame/521382359A5D46B9C12570BC002C5996) 1. **[^](#cite_ref-4)** ["Laser Light Module LLM01 - Description and Operation"](https://web.archive.org/web/20251014151419/http://www.advancedefense.net/pdf/LLM01v5-0.pdf) (PDF).
