I need a standard issue assault rifle for my army, and am offering a contract to all interested nations to design one. Said weapon must be accurate, deadly, light, and easily loaded due to the chaotic nature of battle. Please post a picture of your designed rifle (optional). You can name your price.

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.

:headbang: Pictures...are...OPTIONAL! Very well, It is under consideration, though as of yet my contract is still intended for the Hali-37.

Well, the contract has been approved..but, wait, the 2,000 is per gun.... what kind of contract do you want? If you want production rights then it's going to be a bit higher, however, I wont make the price too heavy.... in any case, carry on the conversation in this thread, I hate checking TGs. :p

Yes, the Hali-37 is a nice rifle, quite robust.
However, we offer you more options.
Simmilar fire rate under normal conditions.
A multitude of accessories.
A shorter rifle with a longer barrell, which means easier to move, but more accurate.

For your conveniance, please take the time to browse thise breif display of DR-1 configurations.

Yes, technically, this is a thread about which rifle would be mad emy military's standard issue weapon, so we are dealing with production rights. My mind is set on either the Hali-37 or the DR.

If I may be so bold as to suggest that your military combine both. The Hali-37 as your main assault rifle and the DR as a variation weapon. Meaning, while you use the Hali-37 as your rifle, you can also purchase the production rights to the DR in order to take full advantage of all the other variations, because indeed, those variations are going to come in handy. That way there is a compromise without a massive war of words.

As for production rights, saying as your military would purchase perhaps a million at any given time (hypothetical), the production rights would equal that. It is to say, production rights cost of what I think would be the total profit if I sold them to you individually. I'll use a million this time around. Meaning, production rights would cost 2,000,000,000 , or 2 billion USD. If this is too much to pay at any one time you may pay in incriments.

We can, and probably will, sell the production rights. We just require you tell us approxemetly how many rifles you desire to produce, that way we can work out how much the rights will cost. Of course we will make this a one time deal, so you could produce more or less.

Our freinds and allies in the Macabeean empire have a good idea, and it might be worth it to take it into consideration, depending on what your need for rifles are.

Dry weight (Unloaded): 6.5 lbs
Magazine capcity: 25 rounds
Caliber: 6.8x43 SPC
Max. Effective Range: 800 meters
Barrel length: 22 inches free-floating type.
Operating system: Gas-trap-piston-actuated semi-automatic/select fire
Configuration: mono-stock of carbon fibre, thumbhole conventional layout with heatshield.
Front sight distance from bore centreline: .55 inches
Rear Sight: Elevation and windage adjustable peep.
Bayonet: Ring-fastened knife-type of high tensile steel with textured plastic grip, eleven inch blade length, clipped-point with blood gutters.

Notes: Rifle employs fluted barrel, combination flash-suppressor/grenade gas-trap for use with spigot-type rifle grenades. Rear sight adjustment in half-minute clicks. Bore and chamber are chrome-lined, Action is machined investment-cast stainless high-nickel/chrome alloy. Stock is Carbon-fibre with UV deterrent coating and high resistance to solvents.

The Cadillac-Winchester M12 Lightweight Military Rifle is the current-issue arm of the Cadillac-Gage Defense Forces. the locking bolt is configured to act as the action's dust-cover when closed, and ice-grooves are employed in the rifle's configuration to facilitate operation in extreme cold and muddy conditions common to its nation of origin.
The M-12 is primarily designed for accurate and reliable operation, but it is also simple to fieldstrip, the action being held into the stock by a single cam-latch at the trigger guard. The action will accept standard M-16 magazines (this being a design requirement, the magazine well is also compatible with L-85, G-36, and XM-8 magazines), and the manufacturer is capable of producing the rifle in 5.56 or 5.45 calibres if that is desired.

the 6.8mm round is capable of acceptable lethal velocities out to more than 900 meters, but the manufacturer specifications indicate best accuracy is obtained within 750 meters due to the limitations of most military-grade optics. The M-12 comes with Stanag picatinny rail directly mounted to the reciever and can accept most Miltary optical mounts. Iron sights are calibrated out to 1000 meters, but the manufacturer does not recommend their use at that range due to human limitations.

Rifles are tested before shipment to insure proper accuracy (1 MOA at 150 meters) and zero-setting. Rifles are shipped with two magazines, 1 cleaning kit (segmented rod type w/bore-brush and patch-jig)

Prices: (per rifle)

6.8 SPC (Base model): 1,000 Credits (725 US Dollars)
5.56 Nato (Export model): 1,500 Credits(1125 USD)
