The SR-092 "Deimos"
Developed by SolarStar Corporation for AfrikaZKorps

http://www.silentheroes.se/media/handguns/MSG90.jpg
Caliber: 7.62x48mm (AzK Design)
Operation: rotating bolt operation
Barrel: 680 mm
Weight: 5.85 kg
Length: 1285 mm
Feed Mechanism: 5, 10 or 20 round detachable box magazines
Range: 1220 meters
MOA (Minute of Angle): .2MOA
Unit Cost: $2,800.00
Ally Cost: $2,250.00

The SR-092 is able to maintain a .2MOA (minute of angle) by its extremely strong bolt and propulsion force of the bolt.
The bolt hits the round so hard, it hits supersonic speed and releases the signature "crack." However, since it goes
so fast, the crack is heard after the round actually hits the target. A supressor can be fitted onto the rifle to minimize
the sound of the "crack", but a silencer is not available to completely knock out the noise.

Average group diameter is the most common criteria of rifle accuracy.
Today, the thin line between "good" and "poor" accuracy is usually laid in 1MOA group. 1 MOA (Minute Of Angle) is measure of the angle,
that formed with the triangle with muzzle as the top and the group as the base. 1 MOA is roughly equivalent to 1 inch group diameter at
100 yards (91 meter), or to 2 inches at 200 yards etc.

The .2MOA is a great advancement in rifle accuracy, seeing how most modern rifles hit .3MOA. .3MOA is equivalent to
to 1 inch groups at 300 yards, or 2 inch (50 millimeters!) groups at 600 yards (550 meters). Now think about reducing that
to a .2MOA. That's an extremely accurate rifle.

The sniper rifle, in order to remain lightweight and accurate, is bolt operated instead of semi-automatic. Being bolt operated
also helps increase the effective range of the overall rifle.

We wish to purchase 100,000,000 of these guns for a total sum of $280,000,000,000. Money will be wired upon confirmation. Thanks!

Order confirmed.

Thank you.

OOC: The bolt in a gun contributes nothing to the speed of the bullet. All the bolt does is set off the cartridge of the bullet.

The amount of force the bolt sends into the cartridge does matter, however. When it hits the cartridge and sends the round out of the barrel, it does have an effect.

That rifle, it looks JUST like the RCR-41 semi-auto in service with the military of MassPwnage.

It's based on the HK MSG90.

No, nothing signifigant anyways.The purpose of a bolt is only to set off the cartridge.

Do you have any idea about rifles, at all?

If the bolt hit a round with more force than usually expected, the round usually either jams inside the barrel, or it is sent out of the barrel with a much higher velocity and MOA.

That's why calibers larger than .50BMG aren't used in anything other than bolt-operated, single shot rifles. A semi-automatic rifle can't handle a large round, mainly because the bolt would jam so often it'd be useless anyway.

Also the shell itself is rather powerful contributing even more to the strength of this rifle, I would know, I developed the ammunition.

Apart from:

XM-109 [25mm]
Solothurn and Lahti anti-armour rifles [20mm each]
Mechem NTW-20 [20mm]
IWS 2000 [15.2mm]

All of those are semi-autos,

And yes, Chellis is perfectly right.

For reference, I have an armourer's diploma from the armed forces of my country, being trained to maintain and fix basic infantry weapons. I also write editorials for http://www.concealedcarrymag.com

The NTW-20 is not very effective, and all of those are anti-tank rifles.

And nice references and credits, highly skilled.

What nation do you reside in that you have an armourer's diploma? Just curious.

And as far as I know, the bolt of the rifle does have an effect on the round. It may not be a large effect, but it still has an effect.

other than bolt impact of that force would likely throw the cartrige out of the barrel before it could fire, thus defeating the purpose of cartridges at all.
if it were a gyrojet-type weapon, maybe, but 7.6mm round would not have much range. it would be a real mother to cock, too.

A gyrojet round would totally defeat the purpose of this rifle.

I wish to purchase 10,000 more SR-092 "Deimos" rifles, this time for my ally, Generic empire. The total sum is $28,000,000,000. Money will be wired upon confirmation. Please RP your nation sending them here: http://forums2.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?p=7741652&posted=1#post7741652

Alright.
