Overview
The Kel-Tec RDB Defender integrates design principles from both the RDB and RDB Survival platforms, resulting in a light-duty, tactical bullpup rifle chambered in 5.56x45mm NATO. This configuration prioritizes maneuverability and rapid deployment, making it suitable for versatile tactical applications. Its lightweight construction, combined with an aluminum M-LOK handguard and a collapsible stock, optimizes the platform for performance in dynamic environments.
Key Features
Integrated Tactical Design
The RDB Defender is engineered for agile operation, featuring a lightweight aluminum M-LOK handguard that provides robust accessory attachment points without excessive bulk. Its bullpup design centrally balances the rifle, enhancing handling dynamics in confined spaces or during dynamic movement, while maintaining a compact overall length.
Optimized Ergonomics
Equipped with a black synthetic collapsible stock and a black polymer grip, the RDB Defender offers adaptable length-of-pull and a secure purchase. This allows operators to optimize the rifle’s fit for varied body types and tactical scenarios, mitigating fatigue during extended use. The bullpup configuration contributes to a compact overall footprint without compromising barrel length.
Precision Barrel Configuration
A 16.10-inch pencil profile barrel contributes to the rifle’s overall reduced weight and balance. This barrel length offers an optimal compromise between ballistic performance for the 5.56x45mm NATO cartridge and maintaining a compact overall footprint inherent to the bullpup design.
Reliable Performance
The RDB Defender maintains the proven down-ejection system characteristic of the RDB series, ensuring consistent spent casing management and ambidextrous operational capability without user adjustment. Its semi-automatic action is designed for reliable cycling with standard 5.56x45mm NATO ammunition, supporting effective deployment.
