The AR-22A3 Battle Rifle is the latest all polymer composite carbine/assault rifle designed for for TPM special forces and elite infantry units and was requested by the KOP. The AR-22A3 uses the Standard TPM round, ".450 Phoenix" aka ".45 Caliber Rifle" aka "11mm" .450 Phoenix is slightly longer and thinner than the .450 Ackley Magnum which is the only other known true .450 round (.450 Marlin is actually .458)

Both cased and caseless versions of the round have been in use since the original AR-22 was adopted years ago and it is a well proven round. Ammo types include hollow point, full metal jacket or teflon coated armor piercing. The standard AR-22 32 shot clip fits well as does the new 48 round offset drum which is more comfortable and wieghs less than the 60 round dual drum system. The AR-22A3 steals features from both the CAR-22, AR-22A1 and original AR-22. Also, despite some totally redesigned inner workings and other parts, it maintains at least 60% parts commonality with its bigger brothers.
M203X 40mm belt-fed pump action grenade launcher is a standard accessory. As with most Phoenix Dynamix Weapons, a sling can be added, as can 0-4x scope, ACOG reflex sight, M68 aimpoint sight, IR or red laser dot, and TAC light. Also available is a bipod, foward grip and 7.4 inch extra-long M-9 bayonet.

Note: The configuration shown has the M203X attached ,M68 aimpoint sight, red laser dot, and TAC light installed .

What's the matter? Not strong enough?

Leocardia would like to buy 35 of this weapon.

What are you selling the production rights for, and how does it match up against what i am using now (SAR-21). We would like a demonstartion, then we will consider replacing the SAR with your weapon as the standard infantry weapon of Exponent

Order confirmed.

Production rights are not for sale at this time.


Comparing the SAR-21 to the AR-22A3 would be like comparing the MP40 (WW2 Submachine Gun) to the FN-SCAR (Modern 7.62mm Carbine)... basically this blows any 5.56mm rifle out of the water.

We will send a team to demonstrate on some dummys dressed in your best body armor.

ooc: I like it but... .450 cal round is just really really over kill for a modern AR, really overkill

Well it has the same recoil dampening features as the other AR-22's and the round is just right power for ensure the killing of the NS $uper_@rmor3d_soldiers that are encountered more often than not... lucky for you I didnt make one of those 25 shot .50 BMG rifles like somone else once did...

Put an order down for 10,000 of them, if that is to much than the most you can export. the 20,000,000. I plan on re supplying my front line troops fighting a communist rebellion with these weapons, so the gun can have some field testing.

Order confirmed.

And we have a large production capability.

OOC: Personally, I prefer to just supercharge a smaller round, upping the amount of propellant so you're hitting a smaller surface with equivalent energy. Same amount of kick, and goes through most anything. Plus, you still get a larger clip. Still, your way works well, and performs better than mine against unarmored targets.

The .450 was originally designed to kill big game animals in the JSA.

i wish to buy 100,000 for my Imperial Guard the total is 200 million to be wired on confirmation.

Order confirmed.

we have decided to use your weapon as the standard weapon of all Exponential infantry units. We would like to place an order for 2 million guns. the 4 billion dollars will be wired on delivery.

Order confirmed.
