(OOC: Just felt like promoting my new rifle :))

The R-04 is now the standard assault rifle of the Bayortan Armed Froces. The R-04 is not simply an overhaul of the R-03, it is a completely new design with only similar grips and magazines being used from the R-03.

When the rifle was first announced it was originally intended to be a new bullpup design based almost entirely on the R-03. Many problems were encountered however and so it was eventually decided that the R-03 design needed to be scraped. Enter a new Bayortan team of scientists with vast experience of Russian weaponry. The team knew what they wanted to do and set to work on it straight away. A lot of money went into development of it, however the end result surprised many, including some members of the development team. Unlike the R-03, the R-04 manages to sustain a consistent rate of fire. It also manages to gain an extra 100 metres in effective range.

Once the rifle was accepted and the rough edges were ironed out, rigorous testing was performed on it. No problems were encountered. The new rifle quickly gained its reputation as being extremely reliable and now it is rapidly replacing the R-03. It is now available to the international market.

Nice.

What is strange is that I have used the FC-57 since June, and I now use the FC-57A3. Same rifle...

Thanks.

Yeah, I doubt that I will be replacing this anytime in 2004. Its just the R-03(visually) was crap. I mean it was pretty effective but it still looked bad :)
