Because of the general lack of traffic through the Macabee Storefront (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=409787) Macabee engineers have decided that it would be to their advantage to make custom weapons for different nations. This would include, aircraft, helicopters, surface ships, submarines, armor, soft skin vehicles, small arms, mines, et cetera. The idea behind it would be to boost sales, and moreover, it would be a source of ideas to increase the size of the Kriegzimmer Storefront, thereby increasing traffic over the long run.

However, it would be extremely important to exactly outline the pact made by a nation who asks for a custom design:

Article I: The piece of technology's producting rights are owned by two nations. The purchaser of the technology, and the creator of the technology, the Macabees. Moreover, the purchaser of the technology does not have the right to sell further production rights to other nations, only the Macabees - although policy of Macabee sales is to not sell production rights.

Article II: The payment can be made in two forms. Direct and immediate transfer, or over twelve months. In the case of the former the entire payment is to be made immediately upon confirmation of the design, and swapping of the producing rights. If the latter is chosen then the purchaser has twelve months to pay off the purchase, whether by equivalent checks, or by an all out payment twelve months post-purchase.

Moreover, when you give us the general idea of what you want design, please give the money that you would expect to pay for said design. We reserve the right to lower or rise, although, the final decision is, of course, that of the client's.

Thank you for your time.

After the successful design for Malatose, we're ready for another one!

Official Communique from the Resi Corporation:

We offered you a problem that has faced our scientists for generations, not a single one of them able to figure it out even with our bloated education and R&D budgets. Shameful really, but that's beside the point.

The project we want you to undertake is the construction of a relyable "beam sword" prototype. Our customers have been asking for these "beam swords", which apparently are a sword composed of lasers except for a solid hilt, to come with our mecha and smaller robots, but we have no idea why. Nevertheless, the customer is always right and we should find a way to supply them with these.

Should you complete this project with a prototype that meets our satisfaction, we will reward you to the tune of $5 billion.

New Model Long Sword - Laser
Designed for The Resi Corporation

The main problem in creating a sword who's 'blade' is composed of a thick ray of photons and giving it the power to kill is the fact the none of the modern superalloys could stand up to the intense heat of a laser strong enough. However, with new technologies in rescent years engineers have been able to develope the New Model Long Sword, the sword of the future.

There are two key components. The first is the hilt. The hilt is design to resemble the hilt of a Roman Gladius, which is short, simple, yet effectively one of the best hilts ever produced in the history of swords. At the end is a copper, or gold, depending on the make, ball, which connects to where the hand grabs, which has four different rivets for the fingers of the user. The hand is protected by a short hand guard, not quite as large as the later sword models.

http://i.xanga.com/Dexargile/Gladius.jpg

However, the key to the hilt is the inside layer. The hilt of the New Model sword is quite larger than what is depicted in the picture above. The inner surface has three layers of three different superalloys. The first layer, meaning the bottom layer, is made of a Nickel-Based Superalloy, named CMSX-11B. Although CMSX-11B is a completely modern superalloy it serves the purpose of being a buffer, and a last resort defense against the overheat which may occur at using the sword for long periods of time. It's been proved through several different experimental procedures, such as directional solidificated castings, that CMSX-11B can handle the stress. The second layer, or the middle layer, is a new superalloy which is a mix of CMSX-11B and THYMONEL 8. THYMONEL 8, like CMSX-11B is a third generation single crystal superalloy, oriented towards the base component RENE N6. THYMONEL 8 provides protection against Hydrogen Enviroment Embrittlement and heat, being incredibly resistance towards the latter. The mix of CMSX-11B and THYMONEL 8 combine two of the most resistive superalloys on market and giving it almost three times the strength. As the third layer, or the top layer, is a combined alloy and ceramic superconducter, this provides yet another defensive layer against the heat, and provides the conducter for the 'ray.'

On the very top, on each side of the inner hilt are two parallel copper rails. The rails are hooked up to a power source which sends an electric current up one rail, through the projectile, and down the second rail. The current up and down the rail causes magnetic fields that interact with the electrons (current) moving through the laser. This interaction is known as the Lorentz Force and acts in a direction perpendicular to the magnetic field and the current. The effect of the force acting perpendicular to the magnetic field and current causes the laser to accelerate down the rails.

The powersource comes from a small carbon computer chip at the base of the hilt, inside that copper or gold ball. It uses a uranium core, cooled by LN11, the newest liquid coolant in the inventory, which runs static electricity through ten microscopic capicitors, bathed in another liquid, which thus multiplies the ouput (for example, in modern tech, water multiplies output by around eighty), and provides the needed electricity for the rails. Regardless of the substance the base is tightly shut off, and constantly cooled, although the coolant must be replaced at least every seven days, although the coolant is easy to inject (taking less than ten minutes) and is cheap to produce or purchase.

From a miniature Gaussian Transmitter the laser forms, and extends for about four feet out of the hilt. The Gaussian Transmitter uses two seperate plates, parallel to each other, one charged negative, and the other positive, creating an electrical force. The Gaussian Transmitter is also used as a LIDAR device, however, with the uranium core at the base of the hilt it can create a beam a hundred times as powerful as any LIDAR base. Subsequently, the beam is charged, providing the electro-magnetic force to cut through the victim.

As an extra note, the color of the beam is silver.

The New Model Long Sword will prove to be the avenger of death and the bringer of justice throughout future history.

[OOC: Heh, it's my first future tech design. If there's anything I need to revise please tell me.]

A letter was sent.

The Corporation would like some sort of standard Assault Rifle made for their Corporate Military. We don’t need a true war worthy rifle, just something our soldiers can lug around easily during combat situations, and something has plenty of stopping power.


Additionally, we also need some sort of missile that can destroy any and all viral bacteria in an area of oh, say...200 Square miles.

Before be start designing your assault rifle we would wish to point you towards our own, already in design, of which you can purchase. Here is the link (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=8637621&postcount=70) to it, and here is the description for your convenience:


Hali-37 Assault Rifle
http://www.exchange3d.com/test_albums/3d-model-weapons-assault-rifle-gun-AK-47/aak.thumb.jpg
[It's us actually little like this, I just wanted a picture.]

During the latter days of the Civil War, soldiers on all sides used the cheap, abundant, and effective, Ak-74s, bought off foreign markets across the globe. However, in the quest of a more modern, more competent, and much more effective, killing machine the Macabee armed forces has released their first assault rifle, the Hali-37 Assault Rifle. The design is supposed to completely take the place of the older Ak-74s and M-16s.

The Hali-37 uses the widely distributed 5.56 x 45mm NATO round, fitted in a standard thirty round magazine. The Hali-37 has two different rates of fire; 1,800 rounds per minute, in two shot bursts, or six hundred rounds per minute in fully automatic. Moreover, the Hali-37 uses Nikonov's AN-94 process of speeding up loading time.

n a conventional semi-automatic rifle, to load the next round the bolt must unlock, extract the spent cartridge case, move rearward over the next round to be fed in the magazine, and eject the case. At this point the bolt (driven by the recoil or return spring) is pushed forward, where it strips the next round from the magazine, chambers it, locks in place, and is ready to fire. In the Hali-37 this process is sped up through the use of a cable and pulley operated "rammer" which pre-positions the next round in the chamber, eliminating unnecessary reward bolt travel. The rammer functions as follows: as the bolt recoils to the rear the cable (passing through the pulley, pulls the rammer forward, stripping the next round from the magazine and partially chambering it. As the bolt returns forward the rammer resets and the bolt pushes the round completely into the chamber and locks.

In the Hali-37 recoil, in burst mode, is handled in essentially a dual recoiling system. When the first round is fired the entire barrel/bolt assembly begins sliding to the rear, compressing a main recoil spring. In addition the bolt itself is compressing an individual secondary spring, which drives the bolt back forward, whereupon the hammer automatically fires the second round of the burst (all while the barrel is still recoiling reward on the main spring.) Once the second round is fired the bolt locks to the rear until the barrel has recoiled completely and gone back into battery. As soon as the barrel is back in battery the bolt is released and another round is chambered. This arrangement allows for two shots to be fired before any recoiling forces are transferred to the shooter. When fired in the full auto mode the Hali-37 first fires a 2 round burst and then goes into fully automatic fire (in which the bolt is held to the rear until the barrel completes its recoiling cycle).

Beyond the 2-round burst capability, the Hali-37 is a relatively conventional battle rifle. The Hali-37 is capable of mounting a bayonet (though in this case it is mounted to the right of the muzzle rather than below, so as to allow for the use of an under barrel grenade launcher, and horizontally, to enable the user to male side to side slashing attacks while holding the rifle.) and it comes standard with a universal scope mounting rail on the left hand side of the receiver. The Hali-37 accepts standard M-16 20 and 30 round magazines, as well as the new 60 round four-stack magazines. The sights feature a conventional shrouded front sight, which is adjustable for zeroing, and a 5-position rotating aperture rear sight (similar to the German G3) for range.

Put it all together and it adds up to a rifle with 200 meters more range than the AK-74, better accuracy for rapid "burst" firing, and an innovative recoil and reload system, all at a fraction more weight than the standard AK-74.

Caliber: 5.56 x 45mm
Action: Gas Operated
Overall length: 943mm (728mm with folded butt stock)
Barrel length: 405mm
Weight, empty / loaded w. 30 rounds: 3850g
Magazine capacity: 30 rounds
Rate of fire, cyclic: 1,800 - 2 burst ; 600 fully automatic

As for the missile. That seems more like a nuclear bomb, but we will do some research on the destruction of viruses, without killing the human population of course.

Greetings to you,

I and my colleagues at the Taldaani Defence Ministry Research and Development department are in somewhat of a difficulty. We have been asked to design and order manufacturing of an 70-90mm automatic weapon, capable of penetrating the armour of a modern Main Battle Tank. However, our efforts have come to nothing and we are rapidly running out of time to complete the gun.

If you can supply us with a working prototype and full schematics for the weapon, we will pay you $2.2 billion US. If this is not sufficient, please inform us. Although this may sound odd, we would also like to have the privelege of naming the weapon. Remember, time is of the essence.

DataBurst to Taldaan
As a quick question. Do you plan to use this as an infantry weapon, or a vehicle mounted weapon. If the former, how mobile do you want it? If the latter, how large will be the vehicle in terms of tonnelage?

We plan this weapon as a vehicle-mounted one, most likely on 60-80 tonne MBTs. However, if it would be possible to mount such a gun on lighter APCs and IFVs in the 20-30 tonne range, then that would be preferable. Would it be possible for the weapon to be mounted on the larger and the smaller vehicles?

Well, a 80mm to 90mm gun would be larger than the guns used during the Second World War, and barely thirty millimeters smaller than the modern 120mm smoothbore. However, we can impliment some about the size of the A-10 Avenger, that is 30mm, and use depleted uranium as kenitic energy killers, and that can penetrate the skin of most main battle tanks, and the recoil wouldn't provide much of a problem for a forty to eighty ton beast.

Greetings,
We need a suitable propellent for a caseless cartridge, since the kind that we are currently experimenting with has trouble in wet climates and under stress. Our RD people suggest that a Polymer-bonded explosive (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polymer-bonded_explosive) might be a good choice, however the company we had contracted to design and produce the explosive was shut down by the goverment after a scandel. So noting that you have offered to design items for other nations, we would like to contract the RD of the propellent to you.
Sincerely yours,
Hans Ausfeller, XM-135 Project Leader.

OOC: Man, this rifle is going to rock. It'll use a electrical current to fire the round, by the way.

[OOC:

[OOC:

OOCness: I've been thinking about returning, Columbia would have to be someone else.

[OOC: Well if you're interested - http://modernwarstudies.net/worldatwar ... pretty interesting happenings.]

Well, your research and developement people were quite correct, polymer-bonded explosives would be a great choice. Moreover, instead of a hard polymer, we would suggest you use a elastomer which is often used interchangeably with the term rubber, and is preferred when referring to vulcanisates. They are amorphous polymers existing above their glass transition temperature, so that considerable segmental motion is possible. At ambient temperatures rubbers are thus relatively soft (E~3MPa) and deformable. Their primary uses are for seals, adhesives and molded flexible parts.

Elastomers are usually thermosets (requiring vulcanization) but may also be thermoplastic. The long polymer chains cross-link during curing and account for the flexible nature of the material. The molecular structure of elastomers can be imagined as a 'spaghetti and meatball' structure, with the meatballs signifying cross-links.

Elastomeric behaviour can be explained further by thinking about entropy. Entropy is fundamentally a measure of disorder. In all natural processes, the entropy of the universe increases. Consequently, gasses difuse, heat disapates, and in this case, molecular structures become disorganised. When an elastomer is stretched or pulled, these disorganised chains of molecules straighten up. This is an unnatural condition, and so when the pull/stretching is stopped, the entropy increases as the material returns to its original state.

So, you put that into a matrix. The best polymer-bonded explosive would most likely be PBXN-106, for the usage you want. PBXN-106 is used currently in naval shells. However, If the polymer matrix is an elastomer (rubbery material), it tends to absorb shocks, making the PBX very insensitive to accidental detonation. Meaning, the round will fire when you want it, and it avoids accidently fires and such.

If you had something else in mind, please share.

We are very pleased with your work. The goverment has authorized me to pay 1.3 billion USD for the production rights. It has been a pleasure dealing with you.

(OOC: Heh, no need to be. I'm only looking for a basic frame armed with rail guns. The rest of the sophisticated weaponry, and propulsion we'll design ourselves and add on later. (So expandability is kind of an issue here with us, although, we hope that the added modularity won't detract too much from the frame's toughness...))

Currently our scientists are working on this problem, but a third party helper would no doubt give us a useful speed boost.

Problem: Missile ranges grow larger every year, yet the possibilities to defend against a massive attack from another border is somehwat limited.

Suggest solution: Satellite with the ability to track missile launch signals, destinations, and some kind of laser or radar system to diffuse the warhead. Possibly broadcast a substitute code to deactivate, or actually target EMP the device, are just some of the possibilities.

Caealan: It's much more conventional, much cheaper, and much easier, to desin a surface to air missile with a dual engine. It would have a SCRAMjet engine for high altitude seeking operations, at altitudes of say five thousand feet and above. It would have a range of some 300 kilometers for that with a standard design. It would also have a conventional fuel engine for operations under 5,000 feet, with a range of say fifty to one hundred kilometers, depending on how large you plan to make the missile. However, a sattelite based defense system is impracticle, expensive, and innaccurate.

(OOC: you may be crappy, but next to you, my models aren't even worth mentioning. It looks pretty nice, but I was hoping to something that looked a little more sleek and, well, a little less like it has toothpicks for wings.

I should have thought over my post a little more. here's a general description, it would have forward swept wings a near middle of the fuselage, small canards a little behind below the canopy. The cockpit I hope can be moved back somewhat as it's current position seems a little too vulnerable. The exposed nozzels in the back are not nessasary. The fuselage looks something like a whale imo, but it's alright. A more blended design is what I'm aiming for. But if this is all too much for you, well, forget it then. I guess I could always do a google picture search which wouldn't be that bad.

I tell you, the head on view looks very nice though, and I'm hoping that even with modification, it will at least maintain the essence of that look.)

Your proposition sounds acceptable. However, due to government legislation the Taldaani Army, the eventual recipients of the finished product, are not permitted to use depleted uranium due to the effects on the environment and the civilian population. We believe in fighting clean wars that adversely effect the general populace as little as possible.

Message from USSRL

Our military analyzors (no, I couldn't find it in my dictionary) and theoreticians have come up with the conclusion that we lack a good plasma-based manportable antitank weapon.
The weapon must be small enough to be used in the dense jungles that covers our home planet as well as being powerful enough to penetrate the armour of a medium battle tank. It must also be able to withstand the climate of our home planet as well as the extreme cold found on Liberty Two and the extreme heat on Liberty Six.
The weapon must not cost more than 300 000 USD to develop since we are a relatively new nation.

Payment will be sent over twelve months.

Flip and angle the Horizontal Stabilizers (JSF style), thin out the canards, sleekify the side view of the canopy, move the two giant cannons to the wing roots, and I think it'll be a winner! Really, it's so close to my early visualizations of it, that a few tweaks should make it perfect. Nice job so far. Give your self some credit. You're not half as bad as you say you are!)

The Defense Ministry of Rojo Cubana humbly requests the following:

Part-Variable Assault Rifle, in the same vein as the XM-8. Variants requested are sniper, heavy machine gun and standard infantry assault rifle. It is requested that the weapon is light enough to be carried by one infantryman. However, it is also requested that the weapon be well-armored enough as to avoid damage in environments that are likely to jam or damage the weapon. It is specifically requested that the weapon use standard NATO 7.65 ammunition.

The Ministry has more requests, but as to not burden you with too many requests, they will be made at another time.

Thank you.

Relative Liberty: I rather stick to Modern Tech. I'm not a fan of future tech, and no absolutely nothing about it. I only did the first one because it was fairly easier than the hardcore future tech designs.

Kyanges: I have to work on the cockpit. I'll have the pics up by tomorrow.

Rojo Cubana: I'll have those up by tomorrow. This weekend by the latest.

It also shows that his weapon would be most effective when using a standard 7.92 discarding sabot round instead of plasma, since plasma would expose the snipers position. However, we lack any documents about how to make those.

We present to you the AK-47/B

http://www.exchange3d.com/test_albums/3d-model-weapons-soviet-russian-military-assault-rifle-ak-47-machine-gun-kalashnikov-01/aac.thumb.jpg

Abstract:
In the search for something cheap but reliable, and much more inexpensive than the modern Hali-37, the main assault rifle for the Macabee forces, the imperial engineers devised the second model to the reknown Ak-47/B. With a bit of an incentive from a direct request by Armandian Cheese Macabee engineers were able to design, and then mass produce, a rifle that would cost about five hundred dollars a piece, instead of the two thousand that the Hali-37 cost. In that respect, the Ak-47/B was to become a new center piece in the collection of many armies that rather have a "cheap and reliable" assault rifle.

Statistics:
Caliber (mm): 7.62
Cartridge: 7.62x39
Sighting radius (mm): 378
Length, overal (mm): 870
Barrel Length(mm): 415
Magazine capacity (rds): 30
Sighting range (m): 800
Weight w/empty magazine, g 4300
Weight w/loaded magazine, g 4876
Rate of fire (rds/min): 600
Muzzle velocity (m/s): 700
Killing range (m): 1500
Rifling Grooves 4
Rifled Bore(mm): 378

Charactiristics Shared with the Ak-47:
The AK-47/B is inexpensive to manufacture and very simple to clean and repair in the field. Its ruggedness and reliability are legendary, and it can fire even after being submerged in water (if the water is poured out first), or when it is covered in dirt. The standard flip-up iron sight is calibrated with each numeral indicating in hundreds of metres. It is released by squeezing the two buttons on the back end. The standard calibration of the flipped-down sight is 50 metres, the normal minimal distance for aimed fire. Distances below this range are usually aimed instinctively. For night fighting, Macabee models have a flip-up luminous dot, also calibrated to 50 m.

Ballistics:
The standard AK-47/B fires a 7.62 × 39 mm round with a muzzle velocity of 710 m/s. Muzzle energy is 1,990 joules. Cartridge case length is 38.6 mm, weight is 18.21 g. Projectile weight is normally 8 g, though some Russian ammunition made for export to the US uses a soft-nose hunting type bullet of 10 g mass.

The AK-47/B, with the 7.62 x 39 mm cartridge, had an effective range of around 300 metres and usually had the sights zeroed at 200 metres.

The rate of fire is between 300 and 600 rounds per minute. Later models have modifications to the trigger assembly and bolt to fire more slowly. This helps make the weapon more controllable and waste less ammunition. This can help reduce logistic requirements. The rate-reducing devices may also be intended to reduce the wear and tear on moving parts.

Improvements over the Original Ak-47:
In the Ak-47/B recoil, in burst mode, is handled in essentially a dual recoiling system. When the first round is fired the entire barrel/bolt assembly begins sliding to the rear, compressing a main recoil spring. In addition the bolt itself is compressing an individual secondary spring, which drives the bolt back forward, whereupon the hammer automatically fires the second round of the burst (all while the barrel is still recoiling reward on the main spring.) Once the second round is fired the bolt locks to the rear until the barrel has recoiled completely and gone back into battery. As soon as the barrel is back in battery the bolt is released and another round is chambered. This arrangement allows for two shots to be fired before any recoiling forces are transferred to the shooter. When fired in the full auto mode the Hali-37 first fires a 2 round burst and then goes into fully automatic fire (in which the bolt is held to the rear until the barrel completes its recoiling cycle).

Beyond the 2-round burst capability, the Ak-47/B is a relatively conventional battle rifle. The Ak-47/B is capable of mounting a bayonet (though in this case it is mounted to the right of the muzzle rather than below, so as to allow for the use of an under barrel grenade launcher, and horizontally, to enable the user to male side to side slashing attacks while holding the rifle.) and it comes standard with a universal scope mounting rail on the left hand side of the receiver. The Ak-47/B accepts standard Russia/Soviet 20 and 30 round magazines.. The sights feature a conventional shrouded front sight, which is adjustable for zeroing, and a 5-position rotating aperture rear sight (similar to the German G3) for range.

Light, medium, or heavy? If you want it to be heavy you should take a look at our BredtSvert on our storefront. If you want it medium or light we would have to design it for you.

Medium would be preferable, as it would not use up to much of our resources, yet it would bring about a greater survival rate of our drivers.

The Defense Ministry of Rojo Cubana humbly requests the following:

Part-Variable Assault Rifle, in the same vein as the XM-8. Variants requested are sniper, heavy machine gun and standard infantry assault rifle. It is requested that the weapon is light enough to be carried by one infantryman. However, it is also requested that the weapon be well-armored enough as to avoid damage in environments that are likely to jam or damage the weapon. It is specifically requested that the weapon use standard NATO 7.65 ammunition.

The Ministry has more requests, but as to not burden you with too many requests, they will be made at another time.

Thank you.

Hali-21 Part-Variant Assault Rifle

Statistics:
Calibre: 7.62mm NATO
Capacity: 10/20/30/60 rds
Length: 29.8 in
Width: 2.34 in
Height: 9.17 in
Weight: 6.2 lb

Description:
The Hali-21 will be based on the kinetic energy weapon that is part of the Hali-21 next-generation infantry weapon system (formerly the Objective Individual Combat Weapon) currently under development by ATK Integrated Defense. The kinetic energy weapon, which fires 7.62mm ammunition, will provide maximum commonality in components and logistics with the Hali-21 system.

The Hali-21 will provide lethality performance comparable to the currently fielded M4 carbine rifle, while weighing 20 percent less than the M4 because of advanced technologies developed for the Hali-21 program.

The Hali-21 Lightweight Assault Rifle will reduce the 21st century soldier's load and increase his mobility. The progress made to reduce weight and improve performance on the Hali-21 program is key to the decision on accelerating the development of the Hali-21, which is integrated with the Army's efforts to transform to a more lethal and rapidly deployed fighting force as part of its Objective Force.

Internally, the Hali-21 uses a rotary locking bolt system that functions and fieldstrips like those used in the M-16 rifle and M-4 carbine, according to the Hali-21 manufacturer’s — Heckler & Koch — Website. The bolt is powered by a unique gas operating system with a user-removable gas piston and pusher rod to operate the mechanism. Unlike the current M-4 and M-16 direct gas system with gas tube, the Hali-21 gas system does not introduce propellant gases and carbon back into the weapon’s receiver during firing.

This improved reliability can be credited to differences in the Hali-21s operating system from the one in the M16. For instance, a thin gas tube runs almost the entire length of the barrel in all of the M16 variants. When the weapon is fired, the gases travel back down the tube into the chamber and push the bolt back to eject the shell casing and chamber a new round. The Hali-21s gas system instead is connected to a mechanical operating rod, which pushes back the bolt to eject the casing and chamber the new round each time the weapon is fired. So there‘s no carbon residue constantly being blown back into the chamber, reducing the need to clean the weapon as often. You don‘t get gases blowing back into the chamber that have contaminates in them. The Hali-21 also has a much tighter seal between the bolt and the ejection port, which should cut down on the amount of debris that can blow into the weapon when the ejection port‘s dust cover is open.

Beginning life as the 7.62mm KE (kinetic energy) component of the 20mm air-bursting Hali-21 Objective Individual Combat Weapon (OICW), the Hali-21 Lightweight Modular Carbine System represents the state-of-the-art in 7.62 NATO assault rifles.

This modularity includes the exchange of interchangeable assembly groups such as the barrel, handguard, lower receiver, buttstock modules and sighting system with removable carrying handle. In addition and in parallel, the new Hali-21 quick detachable single-shot 40mm grenade launcher with side-opening breech and LSS lightweight 12 gauge shotgun module can be easily added to the Hali-21 by the user in the field without tools. The unique buttstock system allows the operator exchange buttstocks without tools from the standard collapsible multi-position version, to an optional buttcap for maximum portability or an optional folding or sniper buttstock with adjustable cheekpiece for special applications. Internally the Hali-21 employs a combat-proven robust rotary locking bolt system that functions and fieldstrips like that used in the current M16 rifle and M4 carbine. However this bolt is powered by a unique gas operating system that employs a user removable gas piston and pusher rod to operate the mechanism. Unlike the current M4/M16 direct gas system with gas tube, the Hali-21 gas system does not introduce propellant gases and the associated carbon fouling back into the weapon’s receiver during firing. This greatly increases the reliability of the Hali-21 while at same time reducing operator cleaning time by as much as 70%. This system also allows the weapon to fire more than 15,000 rounds without lubrication or cleaning in even the worst operational environments. A cold hammer forged barrel will guarantee a minimum of 20,000 rounds service life and ultimate operator safety in the event of an obstructed bore occurrence.

The Hali-21 has fully ambidextrous operating controls to include a centrally located charging handle that doubles as an ambidextrous forward assist when required, ambidextrous magazine release, bolt catch, safety/selector lever with semi and full automatic modes of fire and release lever for the multiple position collapsible buttstock. The operating controls allow the operator to keep the firing hand on the pistol grip and the weapon in the firing position at all times while the non-firing hand actuates the charging handle and magazine during loading and clearing. Major components of the weapon are produced from high-strength fiber reinforced polymer materials that can be molded in almost any color to include OD green, desert tan, arctic white, urban blue, brown and basic black. Surfaces on the Hali-21 that interface with the operator are fitted with non-slip materials to increase comfort and operator retention. The Hali-21 uses 10 or 30-round semi-transparent box magazines and high-reliability 60-round drum magazines for sustained fire applications.

Beyond the 2-round burst capability, the Hali-21 is a relatively conventional battle rifle. The 94 is capable of mounting a bayonet (though in this case it is mounted to the right of the muzzle rather than below, so as to allow for the use of an under barrel grenade launcher, and horizontally, to enable the user to male side to side slashing attacks while holding the rifle.) and it comes standard with a universal scope mounting rail on the left hand side of the receiver. The Hali-21 accepts standard. The sights feature a conventional shrouded front sight, which is adjustable for zeroing, and a 5-position rotating aperture rear sight (similar to the German G3) for range.

Special integral flush mounted attachment points are located on the handguard and receiver to allow the quick attachment of targeting devices. Unlike MIL-STD-1913 rails, the Hali-21 attachment points do not add additional weight, bulk and cost to the host weapon, and will accept MIL-STD-1913 adapters to allow for the use of current in-service accessories. The attachment points for the standard multi-function integrated red-dot sight allow multiple mounting positions and insure 100% zero retention even after the sight is removed and remounted. The battery powered Hali-21 sight includes the latest technology in a red dot close combat optic, IR laser aimer and laser illuminator with back-up etched reticle with capability exceeding that of the current M68-CCO, AN/PEQ-2 and AN/PAQ-4. This sight will be factory zeroed on the weapon when it is delivered and does not require constant rezeroing in the field like current rail-mounted targeting devices.
