After several years of developing the Lasorian economy, the state run weapons manufacturer Karechov armaments, has released two new assault rifles based upon the venerable AK design.

LAR-2 Bullpup Assault Rifle

http://www.geocities.com/the_dominion_of_veredia/LAR2.jpg

Caliber 7.62x39 mm
Action: Gas operated, rotating bolt with 2 lugs
Overall length: 750 mm
Barrel length: 440 mm
Weight, with empty magazine: 3.7 kg
Magazine capacity 30 rounds (40 rounds box magazines and 75 rounds drums from RPK also may be used)
Cyclic rate of fire 600 rounds per minute
Maximum effective range: about 550 meters
Cost: $700


The LAR-2 is similiar to the LAR-1, except that it is a bullpup weapon. Work started on teh weapon only two weeks after the LAR-1 project was started. The purpose of the LAR-2 is more to see if Karechov could create an effective bullpup weapon. The weapon is reliable like the LAR-1, but has a slightly longer barrel and is more accurate. The 3x sight found on the LAR-2 is standard, and the majority of the weapons come with a laser. Many of the weapons also field grenades launchers and lights fitted onto the grenade launcher handle. The weapon is superior to the LAR-1 and AK-47, but comes at greater cost.

These weapons, while originally more of a theoretical development, have been selected for use with the Lasorian special forces. The weapon is also now available for export.

"Sir, how about we purchase an order of 1,000,000 for the police? You know, riot control."
"Fine."

Message:
It is an honour to have a such an obviously powerful nation as your own be interested in our weaponry. We were not quite expecting such a large order of weapons, and it will take some time to get the necessary factories up and running. The order will take roughly 9 months to fill (RL 18 hours). The first shipment will be sent in two weeks.

If you think its a bullpup AK-47...your right, if not, please tell me what you think it is. I made the picture in photoshop using an AK-47 picture and for the sight I used a C7A1.

"That gun looks like a modernized version of the Ak-47! We would buy many of these but Waylend produces it's own weaponry.

We would be more than pleased to provide these armaments, and your calculations are correct. Since we have decided to equip our own infantry forces with this weapon thanks to our growing economy, it will take 1 NS year to manufacture the necessary amount (1 RL day).

Chellis doubts a gun using 7.62x39mm can have an effective range of 550m, and so most likely won't purchase any to test.
