The Federation of Big Long Now has announced a prototype rifle, the AA-659R to hopefully one day replace the current AA-631K currently used in battlefields.

What makes the AA-659R unique from different rifles currently used in the world today is the optional (but recommended) Secondary Combustion Chamber. When the bullet is fired from the magazine and spinning down the barrell of the rifle, the heat from the bullet ignites a powder capsule in the SCC magazine. This drives the bullet faster out of the barrell and promises to inflict heavier damage upon a target. The SCC also improves accuracy by 27 percent. General Jon Coldwell of the Federation Army has tested the prototype in shooting ranges and reports heavier damage and improved accuracy compared to it's predecessor, the AA-631K.
