SR-90A1 Next Generation Assault Rifle
The SR-90A1 represents the next leap in Soviet Bloc assault rifle design, it incorporates many new technologies which will enhance the Soviet Bloc soldier of the future. Being designed the replace the venerable RSR-51 dual-fire weapon, the SR-90A1 makes up for the RSR-51's shortcomings, while building on its strengths. The RSR-51 was a best of a weapon, heavy and large; the SR-90A1 is not. She's shorter, more compact, and made of lighter materials. Instead of the heavier 7.62x51mm round used in the RSR-51, the SR-90A1 will use a 6.5x'06 round, which is basically the mating of a 7.62x54mm shell and a 6.5mm bullet, meaning, there's more powder behind this thing than the 7.62x51 used as the RSR-51's primary round, but the round will be smaller, provide a flatter trajectory, more velocity, and ultimately, more killing power. Instead of the RSR-51's 5.56x31mm (.221 Fireball) secondary round, the SR-90A1 will employ the .45ACP.
The RSR-51 was the battle rifle and short range firefight rifle combined into one... The SR-90A1 is its next generation, evolving to use a more capable and specialized round to cover everything from short range firefights to long range sharpshooting. Instead of a secondary round devoted to solely close-range combat, the SR-90A1 has the .45ACP, a submachine gun round, designed for short range conflict in an urban environment. To save space, the .45ACP secondary system is fed by a helical magazine which can hold 40 rounds of ammunition. This magazine serves as the forward grip and is located ahead of the trigger assembly. The primary round is fed through the port behind the trigger assembly and is fed through a 30 round magazine (although it accepts 20, 40, and a drum adaptor kit).
But it doesn't stop there, the SR-90A1 also carries a few new pieces of technology which make it a lethal killing machine.
[b]Primary System
The assault rifle's primary system is that of the 6.5mm. The 6.5mm round (140 grain) was chosen for its weight, its superior performance, and its capability. Couple this with the massive shell (7.62x54mm shell shouldered out and necked down to accept the 6.5mm), and you have a shell that can fly far, fly fast, and fly flat. This thing will rip apart its opponent at most any range, and it will do it fiercely and without remorse. You hit an enemy with this and they will go down.
The primary system is fired electronically. When the trigger is pulled (and the system is locked into 'Primary Only'), the trigger causes two conduits to touch, completing a circuit which leads to an electrical charge which contacts the shell's primer and fires, igniting the powder and so forth. The system works efficiently and allows for the soldier to actually fire both systems at once (one via electrical the other via mechanical linkage).
The barrel is free floating, which offers more accuracy.
The primary system is fed through a bull-pup type configuration (with magazine behind the trigger assembly). It accepts twenty, thirty, forty, and drum-type magazines. The standard magazine is a thirty round magazine. To replace or remove the magazine, the magazine ejection button is depressed and the magazine is simply slid out.
Secondary System
Being a tried and true submachine gun round, the .45ACP was chosen for several reasons: 1) Every ARSB soldier has a .45ACP side arm [available ammunition] 2) Superior close range lethality 3) Superior close range ballistics. Over-all it was the perfect choice for the weapon.
The secondary system is fired mechanically, when the trigger is pulled, a series of events leads to the throwing forward of the pin, which sets off the primer, igniting the powder and sending the bullet on its merry way. However, this is not just any mechanical linkage, it can be detached. When the firing system is switched from 'Secondary Only' or 'Dual Fire' and into 'Primary Only', the mechanical linkage actually disconnects, and a contact strip moves into place, in order to allow the primary system to fire. When the system is in 'Dual Fire' mode, both systems can fire, one using mechanical linkage, the other using electric.
The secondary system is fed through a forward helical magazine (PP-19 Bizon-like) which can hold up to forty rounds and serves as the forward hand guard. To remove the magazine, the operators thumb depresses the eject button and he pulls the magazine forward, sliding it out.
Systems and Sighting
The SR-90A1 maintains a standard red dot sight which can be both manually and automatically leveled or adjusted. The red dot sight maintains twelve different settings for the size and intensity of the red dot as well as four types of 'cross hairs' [simple dot, circle and dot, diamond, cross-hairs] and can combine any of them. The SR-90A1 also incorporates a set of iron sights in the event of a red dot sight malfunction. The iron sights are universal and offer considerable accuracy for both systems.
Coupled into the red dot sight is the 'Information Display Sytem', which is a small projection system which displays data gathered from sensors inside the weapon. A laser rangefinder is included in the weapon (in between the barrels) and uses a laser frequency on the invisible spectrum, however, it can be viewed through the red-dot sight. This allows the soldier to view range to the target with the rifle and it automatically feeds that data into a computer located inside the rifle which then adjusts the red dot (or other cross-hair type) to where the soldier should aim to hit the target at the range tested. This same system gathers meteorological data such as humidity, wind-speed, and other environmental factors to compute into this as well, however, this system can be disengaged as its sometimes misleading (such as when inside a bunker, etc.).
The IDS also displays the amount of ammunition used or left.
However, the rifle was designed to be used with an infantry combat system, the VEPR NGCS, so it incorporates systems to allow for the attachment of camera, thermal imaging, nightvision, and other imaging sensors as well as other computer systems. A common rail system allows for items such as LED flashlights, vertical hand grips, underbarrel-grenade launchers or shotguns, and numerous other pieces of equipment. The rifle's computer system also maintains an uplink system for transferring data to the infantry combat system (range finder, weather conditions, etc.).
The weapon, with its advanced electronics, is also soldier-proof, with easy to use controls that take minimal time to learn. It can also stand the rigors of combat, its batteries last for nearly seven weeks without a charge (assuming non consistent firing, ideal conditons; it can also be directly linked into the VEPR system to use its power), can withstand temperatures ranging from -40 degrees to 139 degrees, and can operate in snowy, rainy, foggy, dusty, or smoky conditions with no effect on unit effectiveness. Its also fairly easy to maintain with an included maintenance booklet and tool kit inside the rear stock. It's also comfortable to the soldier as it weighs fairly light with its polymer and lightweight materials construction and has ergonomically-designed forward grips and a thumbhole-type stock. The weapon is also ambidextrous (in stock design). To change the 6.5mmx'06 firing mode to a left-hand operator, a small plate is flipped within its receiver and the casing ejector plate(normally on the right hand side) is flipped down over the ejector hole while a similar plate on the left side is opened, otherwise, the 6.5mmx'06 shells would hit the operator's face. This does not need to be done to the .45ACP system.

OOC- Comments? Criticism? I needed something to replace the RSR-51XA and this is it... If anyone with the VEPR systems who received the RSR-51XA with it and would like to transfer over to the SR-90A1, just say so and it shall be done (for a fee of course).
