Lion Arms Infantry Weapons Division
http://www.military.cz/usa/weapons/guns/kulomety/minigun/mini_gun.jpg
Model: LA-101 Minigun
Calibre: 7.62mm NATO
Barrels: 6
Rate of Fire: 4000-6000 Rounds Per Minute
Weight: 16.8 Kilogrammes
Power Source: Gas-operated
Length: 0.8 metres
Peak Recoil Force: 80 kilogrammes
Cost: $2,000 each
plus $500 for conversions to other rounds
General Description
Earlier this year, the Chairman of the Armed Forces, Mikhail Gregor, wrote a paper
to the Department of Defence examining the possibility of improving infantry firepower
in regards to defencive and holding tactics. The paper called for a weapon that could
"maintain sustained fire of an exceedingly high rate against assaulting enemy forces."
The Department of Defence held a contract competition between a number of military and civilian
weapons creators to see whom was worthy of such a high profile contract. The prize went to a
small civilian arms developer called Lion Arms, who developed a weapon along the lines of the
tried-and-tested Gatling Gun. The government was so impressed they actually
bought sole rights to this and a number of other Lion Arms weapons. As part of Lion Arms new
international sales division, these are now availiable for export in exchange for the
Saint-Christopher government recieving 30% of the revenue from the weapons they own rights to.
What makes the LA-101 unique from other miniguns in service is the large reduction in recoil.
Following a recent design trend in Assault Rifles to create a recoiling barrel, Lion Arms
developed the main barrels of the LA-101 to recoil a maximum of 5 centimetres back towards the
breach. This causes a recoil much reduced to a number of other miniguns, thus allowing for
easier aiming and improved accuracy whilst firing.
The LA-101 can be used with standard 7.62mm NATO rounds, however modifications can be requested
for a number of other rounds at a small extra cost for the additional work, even up
to the point of aircraft conversion. The LA-101 can be deployed on tripod in military combat
(as shown above), but can also be attached to military vehicles such as Jeeps or APCs and as
permanent gun nests as a defensive weapon.

Model: LA-102 Assault Rifle
Caliber: 7.62mm NATO rounds
Action: Gas operated, rotating bolt
Overall length: 850 mm
Barrel length: 250 mm
Weight: 3.0 kg empty, 4.3 loaded
Magazine capacity: 30 rounds
Rate of fire: 450-650 rounds per minute
Effective range: 600 metres
Cost: $800 per unit
plus $500 for conversions
General Description
The LA-102 is another weapon with sole rights owned by the government.
The Department of Defence gave an overview to Lion Arms of creating
an accurate semi-automatic rifle with fully-automatic capabilities.
The LA-102 was the result.
With a horizontally-loaded magazine designed to keep weight centred,
this rifle offers easy aiming and accuracy, and the automatic clip
ejector speeds up the reloading process. Included is a scope set
near the end of the barrel which can be set to night vision, infra-red
and 2x to 4x magnification.
This rifle has both single-shot, semi-automatic and fully-automatic
firing options, allowing it to be used from accurate shots over a
considerable distance to room-clearing operations. It can be used at
both shoulder and waist height with ease, thanks to the large full-hand
trigger.
The rifle is compatible with 7.62mm NATO rounds, however for a small
extra cost these rifles can be modified to fire other rounds to suit
a particular nation's needs.
