The AE-90 is an all pourpose assault rifle built as a join venture between Eriopia and Anarresa. The built in 3x scope and 1 km range finder allows for very good accuracy even the hands of an untrained soilder. The ammunition is also a new idea. The 6.56 cartidge is designed to provide the stopping power of the 7.62 with the weight of the 5.56. The new ammunition uses composite cases, with brass bases and polymer walls, which reduces weight of the complete ammunition. This also allows for the most efficent bullet per kill ratio. Yet another feature is the low matnince needed to operate the weapon. Theoretically you should be able to used the weapon reliably for 2 weeks without the need for any real cleaning. Due to these features, training costs can be reduced allowing the funds to be spent on other aspects of the military.
