The P10 PDW

In a bid to upgrade the Ato-Saran military firearms from the aging CR-2 series the CSC logistics department launched a competion for a contract to manufanture a next generation rifle.
The brief stated that because the Jade Guard and G-SDF were increasingly seeing action in enclosed urban enviroments that the weapons construction had to reflect this while still keep some of the power and range that the CR-2 series possesed. This would allow the weapon to be effective in closed urban enviromennts while still being able to use in pitched battles in open areas.

The second part of the UARW project was a personal defence weapon for vehicle crews and pilots.
The contract for this won by Tian' do arms, a small relatively unknown company based in Wu Lao.
The P10 far outstripped its competitors with its high rate of fire and stopping power.

The powerful caseless round of the P10 allows it to penetrate most modern body armour, this comes at the cost of high recoil, however the extremely high rate of fire permitted in the three round burst mode negates this somewhat allowing every burst to be laser accurate. Firing in full automatic mode has no such benefit and recoil becomes a large problem.

The P10 is small, light weight and easily concealed making it ideal for spec-ops, pilots and vehicle crews. It is also heavily used by many Ato-Saran police departments as a standard sidearm for officers in hostile situations.

The caseless rounds used by the P10 are manufactured by Ban Toi heavy manufacturing exclusively in Ato-Sara, but production rights can be bought by foreign companies on the explicit agreement that they are not to be distributed anywhere inside the Socailist Federation of Ato-Sara and affiliated territories. Production rights for the 9x18 caseles 'Jian' round are usually around 12 Million USD. (Production rights for the P10 itself are not available.)
