In a bid to end the dominance of the ELIAS FEDERAL ARMAMENTS COMPANY (EFAC) which has monopolised the Elias small arms industry for decades, the newly setup UNITED ARMS CORPORATION is proud to offer its first product.
The LAR-25 is the product of several years of research and development by many different companies, and uses some of the most advanced operation and production techniques in the world. Designed completely independently of the government which had no need for a new assault rifle because the SCR-12 Tavor (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=59484&highlight=) had only been recently introduced. Therefore this unique weapon enjoys superior performance as unlike most other weapons it was not designed to meet rigid cost and specification targets that often lead to downgrading of performance. However, some branches of the Army such as the SRS and the Rangers are now considering using this weapon to replace the Tavor in some roles as well as the small numbers of M4A2 Carbines in service. It is unlikely to ever see mass use across the armed forces because of its prohibitively high cost which comes from the high quality construction and impeccable design.
The Light Assault Rifle (LAR) is offered in three distinct sizes, the Carbine, the Combat Rifle and the Sharpshooter rifle, with models all capable of being fitted with a wide range of sights and the specially designed UAC-7A 40mm grenade launcher.
Operation
The LAR-25 features a short piston stroke, gas operated action, with rotating bolt locking. The entire construction is modular and built around the polymer receiver with bolt group; Magazine housings could be easily swapped for compatibility with various types of magazines; various butt stocks could be installed in seconds for various roles (standard stock is a 5 position telescoping adjustable one). The top of the receiver is fitted with proprietary sight rail, which can accept illuminated red-dot sights, or any other type of sighting equipment.
Ambidextrous fire controls are mounted on the trigger unit, integral with pistol grip and trigger guard, and in basic configuration can deliver single shots, three round burst, two round burst and full auto fire. The ambidextrous charging handle is located at the top of the receiver, below the removable carrying handle.
This modularity includes the exchange of interchangeable assembly groups such as the barrel, hand guard, lower receiver, butt stock modules and sighting system with removable carrying handle. In addition and in parallel, a 40mm grenade launcher withside-opening breech or lightweight 12 gauge shotgun module can be easily added to the LAR by the user in the field without tools. The unique butt stock system allows the operator exchange butt stocks without tools from the standard collapsible multi-position version, to an optional butt cap for maximum portability or an optional folding or sniper butt stock with adjustable cheek piece for special applications. Internally the LAR-25 employs a combat-proven robust rotary locking bolt system that functions and fieldstrips like that used in the current M16 rifle and M4 carbine. However this bolt is powered by a unique gas operating system that employs a user removable gas piston and pusher rod to operate the mechanism. Unlike the current M4/M16 direct gas system with gas tube, the LAR gas system does not introduce propellant gases and the associated carbon fouling back into the weapon’s receiver during firing. This greatly increases the reliability of the LAR while at same time reducing operator cleaning time by as much as 70%. This system also allows the weapon to fire more than 15,000 rounds without lubrication or cleaning in even the worst operational environments. A cold hammer forged barrel will guarantee a minimum of 20,000 rounds service life and ultimate operator safety in the event of an obstructed bore occurrence.
Major components of the weapon are produced from high-strength fiber reinforced polymer materials that can be moulded in almost any color to include dark green, desert tan, arctic white, urban blue, and basic black. Surfaces on the weapon that interface with the operator are fitted with non-slip materials to increase comfort and operator retention. The LAR uses 10, 20 or 30-round magazines which are interchangeable with nearly other weapon of 5.56mm NATO standard, such as the M16/M4.
Sighting
The attachment points for the standard issue UAC-02 multi-function integrated red-dot/optical sight allow multiple mounting positions and insure 100% zero retention even after the sight is removed and remounted. The battery/solar powered sight includes the latest technology in a red dot close combat optic, IR laser aimer and laser illuminator with back-up etched reticule with capability exceeding that of the current generation of weapons. This sight is factory zeroed on the weapon when it is delivered and does not require constant re-zeroing in the field like current rail-mounted targeting devices. The LAR is fully compatible with future infantry technology such as Land Warrior or similar projects.
UAC-7A Grenade Launcher
Unlike the standard Elias Army Tavor rifle, the LAR does not use the standard M203 40mm grenade launcher because its weight would make an otherwise extremely light weapon, into something improperly balanced and almost as cumbersome as the weapons it is designed to replace.
Instead the United Arms Corporation have developed the UAC-7A under slung lightweight grenade launcher uses a fast and easy side-loading breech configuration. This feature and the quick detachable design of launcher provides superior combat capability over existing M203 grenade launchers. Also unlike the M203, the the UAC-7A can fire all standard low velocity 40 x 46 mm ammunition, including HE, AP, anti-riot baton, irritant gas and illuminating rounds. Its rifled aluminum barrel ensures a high degree of accuracy out to ranges of 450 meters. An ambidextrous safety lever and double action only trigger ensure easy and safe handling.
