Viking Firearms Sturmgewehr-635 (VSg-635)
In the future, when a Dominion soldier reaches for his weapon, his hand will close around the grip of a VSg-635 Modular Battle System. Once that connection is made, there is little in this world that can stand against him. Built around the M6550 HVGBM round designed by the United City-States of New Empire, the VSg-635 is a fully modular weapon system intended to provide advanced tactical capability to our nation's warriors. The VSg-635 begins at the base with a heavy weapon system - In most configurations, this consists of a 20mm rapid-fire grenade launcher with a 8- or 12-round removable box magazine. Designed to fire any of the New Empire's 20mm grenades - Including their flechette, shot, or a specially designed breaching cartridge, any of which turn the weapon into a high-powered shotgun. Built in a bullpup configuration, the heavy weapon mates to the Anti-Personel weapon which lays atop it.
Instead of the standard 20mm grenade launcher, a miniature RPG launcher may be substituted. Although it does not include the same rapid-fire capability, it maintains the same high magazine capacity, and provides the kind of punch that only a 20mm RPG can give. Again, this weapon fires all the UCSNE munitions of the applicable class. Mating to the heavy weapon by laying atop it, the anti-personel weapon offers a further variety of options to the soldier that wields it. The most common is a rifle in the 6.5x50mm Caseless calibre - Again, developed by the UCSNE. Much like the UCSNE's M9 Close Quarters Battle Weapon, or FN's P90, the rounds are carried vertically in a magazine that lays horizontally along the top of the reciever. Accepting a 60-round magazine, the rifle-configuration of the -635 MBS is expected to replace the K1A2 ASLR as the primary battle rifle of the Dominion Army.
As well as the rifle configuration, there is a squad automatic weapon module with a quick-change barrel that feeds from a disintegrating link belt, and has provisions for the ambidextrous mounting of a battle box to hold the belt. Additionally, there is a 9mm submachine gun module that accepts a top-loading 50- or 100-round helical magazine much like those used in the weapons made by the now-defunct Calico corporation. In all configurations, the heavy weapon module includes an integral laser-dot projector, and a tactical illuminator may be mated to the weapon. Furthermore, all of the anti-personel weapon modules may be mated with a silencer - Including the squad automatic weapon variant.
Finally, the standard sight block is a millimeter-wave radar imaging scope which is routed through the guidance package neccesary to fire the Dominion's Precision Guided Rounds. The screen onto which the guidance package projects its information is actually the back lense of a conventional optical scope with a magnification of 3x. Should the guidance package lose power, the projection ceases, allowing the continued use of the sight using normal ambient light. A similar block is available using an electro-optical sight instead of the MWRI unit. Each weapon system costs $1,400.00 USD, although it is possible to buy just a single configuration for $700.00 USD.
