In todays insane and fast moving world we are never safe. Guns are needed, from the venerable AK-47 to advanced XM-30s, ARs play a key role in today's army. However, many countries create advanced ARs or use extremely outdated ones. To help fill the gap between, Ancient-Super-ARs, Katana Corp. a multinational interstellar corporation has designed what has been nicknamed the "Conscript" Rifle. A simple to use, extremely affordable, very light, powerful, easy to repair, and durable Assualt Rifle, for modern times.
Thanks to advances (slight PMT (2010 not that bad)) in polymers most of the rifle is constructed of a powerful, lightweight polymer. To conserve more weight, caseless ammo is used. However the main components are still metal, just very light alloys. The barrels are interchangable between the various calibers. It is of the bullpup design with the magazine situated in the very rear. Technically its a modified AK-47 mechanisim for caseless ammunition. Now to introduce the AR-550.
Katana Corp. AR-550 "Conscript" Ultralight Modern Assault Rifle
Nicknamed the Conscript for its ease of use and is marketed toward the poorly trained conscript armies, while still being useful for better trained armies who don't wish to invest in heavy, and overaccessoried rifles. Large ammo capacity, while being reasonable accurate, though a slightly higher recoil and reduced rate of fire.
Semiautomatic is preferred but it also has a 2 round burst setting and full automatic
And for ceremonial purposes a bayonet knife can be mounted, however this sacrifices a grenade launcher.
Specs:
Caliber: 5.45*39mm Russian or 5.56 NATO or 5.7x28mm SS190 or Leafanistani 6.5*43mm
Action: Gas operated, rotating bolt with 2 lugs
Weight: 2.2 kg (with empty magazine without bayonet); 2.5 kg (with loaded magazine)
Length: 750 mm
Rate of fire: 510 rounds per minute
Magazine capacity: 50 rounds
Effective range: 650 m
Optional underbarrel 25mm grenade launcher can be added.
Only a metal sight, calibrated for 200/500m is available however, a rail is mounted on the top for scopes and the like.
Each rifle is made of stamped metal parts with significant polymer body construction.
10,000 AR-550s cost $1.5 million US
