Emil Nykvist, Biathlon ⚙️

5.0 Robotics
Written By Stoney CNC

5.0 Robotics bringing CNC technology to the international sports application area! The rising star of Swedish biathlon, Emil Nykvist reached out to us after breaking his gun. With 5.0 Robotics industrial-grade machines, he was able to combine different parts of guns to make equipment that elevated his game for the competition.

Challenges can turn into advantages, especially if you have the mentality of a go-getter and find the perfect means to make things happen. We love supporting people who are bold and creative enough to take control in their hands, no matter the industry they operate in.

Video: 5.0 Robotics CNC Router Machining Olympic Gun in 4 Hours

This video features biathlete Emil Nykvist, who collaborated with 5.0 robotics to craft a custom biathlon gun using a CNC machine.

The video opens with Emil introducing 5.0 robotics, a company specializing in producing industrial-grade machines in a compact format. Emil then explains how he conceived the idea of creating a personalized gun. He had been competing for eight years and had used various guns, but none of them felt perfect. He noticed his friend Jasper had a particularly impressive gun, and it dawned on him that a hybrid of the two guns would be ideal.

Emil and Jasper scanned their respective guns and then utilized Fusion software to merge the desirable features of each gun into a single design. Subsequently, they collaborated with Pate to employ a CNC machine to bring this new gun to life. The first two components of the gun turned out exceptionally well, and Emil was ecstatic about the final product. He describes the gun as lightweight, compact, and comfortable to grip. He confidently asserts that it is one of the finest guns in the world.

In the concluding part of the video, Emil reflects on his biathlon journey. He has participated in numerous World Championships and European Cups and recently qualified for the World Cup in Lofer. Emil expresses great pride in being among the top biathletes in Sweden and eagerly anticipates competing in the World Cup.
