Overall
The CAS-2 new Bullpup Assault designed to replace the M-16, M-4, M8, Tavor, AK-74 and its derivatives, G36 and most other real life assault rifles. It combines accuracy, range, magazine capacity, stopping power, and technology all in one rifle package.
Design
The CAS-2 is of a bullpup design to make the rifle shorter and lighter while still having a long barrel. This quality of being small and light has been requested by soldiers for a long time and is reflected in the designs of the M8 and M-4. To further the rifles design of being light and durable, the rifle is made largely out of plastics, composites, and titanium. It should be noted that the gun fires electronically; there are no other moving parts in the trigger mechanism other than the trigger itself.
Ammunition
The CBMR, or Caseless Blended Metal Round, is a 6.5 x 45mm 130 grain Caseless round with a Blended Metal bullet. It is based on a modified 6.5 Grendal cartridge. The round is remarkable in that it stays supersonic beyond 1,000 meters. This round is also very accurate. At 800 meters a decent shooter can fire the whole 60 round magazine in a 8 in diameter group, while using semi-auto or 3 round burst. These combined give the rifle and excellent effective range while having recoil similar to a 5.56 NATO round. This, along with the long and well crafted barrel, give this assault rifle unprecedented range and accuracy.
Electronics
Built into the rifle are a laser rangefinder that can give its information to any attachment and red dot laser sight that can switch between a regular red dot or an invisible infrared dot. These 2 systems work together in that the laser designator controls the red dot sight so that it changes elevation based on range; ensuring that the dot is where the bullet will hit.
Other electronic options include an infrared/night vision/TV gun camera that can be mounted on top of the rifle so that it can be aimed around corners or over objects.
Accessories
The CAS-2 can mount many accessories on top, bottom, and both sides of the weapon. These include flashlights, different sights, submachineguns, and a 25mm multi-munition launcher. The launcher is mounted under the barrel of the rifle and can fire a wide range of smart munitions including frag grenades, concussion grenades, flashbangs, non-lethal ammunition, a shotgun-like pellet munition, HEAT rounds (200mm CE), and a special rocket powered top-attack munition (175mm CE).
Combat Conditioning
To make sure the rifle and its components were combat ready, it was tested extensively. The whole system was tested in a variety of conditions ranging from Antarctica to the jungles of Southeast Asia, to the deserts of the Middle East. It functioned after being frozen and thawed and was even submerged in mud; it fired. The ammunition was a main concern during testing. It was fired after being soaked in sea water, and functioned after being set in the sun during 120 degree weather for a period of 3 days. Needless to say, it will work in any condition you put it into.
