The National Army of Kelmdorp is now exporting its standard Battle Carbine: The KAR-001. The KAR-001 fires a unusal caliber, the likes of which have not been used in any firearm to date. The Weapon fires a 8.92mm Bullet at Two thousand three hundred and five feet per second, with a maximum range of One thousand Three hundred yards.

The Weapon :The KAR has a basic compound stock, a six and a half inch bayonet that folds under the barrel, and has a composite frame along with a steel reciver. The Rilfe is a Bullpup configuration, with the magazine, safety and bolt behind the trigger. The Mag holds 25 rounds, or 50 with a large drum mag. The Rifle cycles at six hundred rounds a minute on full auto, and almost double that on a two round burst system. It is a Gas operated slective firing weapon. It Weighs in a 6.5 pounds empty and 7 pounds loaded. 9.5 pounds with a full drum mag.

Operation: The KAR use's a firing system like the Russain An 94, in which the barrel recoils with the force of the gas, and opens the bolt, locks it, feeds a new shell,closes the bolt, and fires the weapon.

Batchs of Sixty thousand will be sold for 8 million USD. Custom Guns can be made, but only in groups of 4 thousand. price will vary.

The Army of Lachenburg is in the process of transitioning from the older model Sig550s to a more modern weapon platform. This new KAR-001 certainly interests us and we have a few questions about it:

1. How well does it perform in arctic conditions?
2. What is its maximum effective range?
3. What types of equipment are able to fit on this rifle?

We would greatly appreciate it, if you answered these questions.

How much and how many are you looking to sell of your 550's? Die Republik der Faust is interested in taking some off of your hands if the money's right.

As of the moment, we are prepared to disgard 850,000 Sig550 assault rifles and are willing to sell them to your government for 600 USD a unit. Of course, the price can be negotiated on.

Being a small republic, we should only need, at most, 200 000. We can offer $475/ unit. That translates to 95 000 000 USD.

As for the first question, The Compound stock and frame can protect the interior of the weapon from temps ranging from 120 degrees farenheit, to negative 60 degrees. The barrel, bolt and reciver are crome lined, which protects the parts from freezing. As long as the Gas from the bullet can power the recoil piston, and the trooper can pull the trigger, the gun will fire.

Second question: The Rifles maximum range, which is from the the time the bullet leaves the barrel until the bullet begins to arch downwards is One thousand Three hundred yards. But kill range at maximum, is up to One thousand five hundred yards.

Third: The weapons bayonet mount can be removed to make way for a 40mm gernade launcher, laser sights, or bipod. The Rifle has rail mounts for any size scope, red dot, night vison, infa red etc etc. The Rear of the weapon (stock, reciver and bolt) can be replaced by a Machine gun belt feed, but this is still in testing.
