MCK-86 Sub Machine Gun

http://img364.imageshack.us/img364/6105/it0im.png

Overview
The order for the MCK-86 came after a government inquriry for a new SMG to replace others in use, most notably the MS-24 as it had lackluster combat use. Internally, the design og the MCK-86 is very simple, based around the easy to use blowback method, firing from an open bolt.

The gun is in the standard layout, as the company decided not to persue a bullpup design. The weapon is made out of Plastic polymers, and several parts are steel as well, including the magazine release and the barrel. The gun can fire in semiautomatic, 3-round burts, and full automatic via a selector switch above the grip. The Barrel and forward section are made very similar to Colt weapons, featuring barrel shields and RIS rails very similar to the M4 SOPMOD.

The gun also mounts a mandatory forward grip, made with a lightweight hardend plastic, and covered with a soft material layer to ease the shape on the users hand. Just above the grip is a built in flashlight/laser sight. The top of the reciever is covered extensively with Picatinny rails to mount nearly anything imaginable, while current examples mount a x2 scope with thermal imaging.

The gun fires 5.8x21mm Armor peircing ammunition, originally designed by the chinese, and advanced upon by military engineers and R/D to make a more accurate, easy to handle round, leathal in the users hand.

IV-91 FAMILY FIGHTING VEHICLES



Overview
Following experiences in the Kravanian-Lone Alliance war, particularly the Second Battle of VSI, the ground forces of the Willinkian military found themselves desperately lacking a capable Infantry Fighting Vehicle to fulfill an important role that had yet to be realized. This, coupled with the interim development of a new 40mm high velocity auto cannon led to a realization of a new design for the armed forces. The design work was done by Catamrian design corp, a company known for it's civilian to military light vehicle conversions and designs for the past decade, and the design was to be their first major project, with considerable time put into making the design its best it could be. Development began six years ago, with the first prototype finishing test runs in early may. Although the original requirement was simply for an IFV, this later spread out to include an entire family, including mobile SAM systems, Light Tanks, AAV's, Command Vehicles, ARV's, and a Forward Observation Vehicle.

Protection
Nearly the entire vehicles is constructed of all-welded steel, including multiple built in armored panel’s, along with the fitting of lightweight Titanium Carbon-based implants around the ammunition storage area and on the glacis plate. The Vehicle takes into consideration stealthy properties, including angles, RAM based materials, and Infa-red suppressive elements to greatly decrease the vehicles radar, acoustic, and IR signatures. The Vehicle is fully fitted with an NBC protection system, and the interior is lined with a Kevlar-Based paneling.


Engine
The IV-91 family uses the incredibly reliable Vistla Automotive Military spec V-Array Diesel Engine, arguably the easiest to use and durable engine in any military vehicle. For the IFV family, it was downsized to a 650hp engine, but still retains the multiple-fuel capabilities found in the Type 42's engine.

IV-91/A IFV
The IV-91/A is the center stone of the IV-91 family. It can be customized with different sensors, weapons, and FCS all easily and in a quick manner, to fit a certain nations needs or lack there of. In the Standard Willinkian version, the main weapon is the newly designed Vilista Military Subdivions G/45L Model Mk60 40mm liquid-cool Army-Spec Auto cannon firing High Velocity HE ammunition, commented for its extreme deadliness and rate of fire, an impressive 300 RPM in fully automatic fire on the move or stationary, ripping through nearly any light vehicle in existence with ease, and invaluable in destroying logistic vehicles or defending against infantry charges. The Basic Sighting system consists of a Quantum Well Infrared Photodetector based Thermal imaging system, a battlefield management system for easing commands and connection together units in a battlefield situation, a video network system between crews, and a rear camera system. The IFV model, among other things, includes an Air Cooling system and blow off pannels on the bottom of the vehicle to deter the blast of landmines.

IV-91/B AAV
The B model of the IV-91 line is the Anti-Aircraft vehicle. Instead of mounting the 40mm cannon present on the A model, the B has a small turret housing a TMCH- Reconnassiance Radar system, an automatic threat evaluation system, and is fitted with a MC17 model C 20mm Anti-Aircraft gun, with UTASS Anti-aircraft sight, and is capable of engaging Helicopters, low flying fighters, and dive bombers.

IV-91/O FOV
The O model Forward Observation vehicle is equipped with an immensely powerful imagining system for reconnaissance and features a laser rangefinder and relaying system to paint targets for fight-bombers, and relay enemy position information to other ground forces. It also features an enhanced 3D navigational system and mounts a rooftop 12.7mm machine gun.

IV-91/C FOC
The C Model of the IV-91 is the Forward Command Vehicle, utilized for forward combat command, communication, and control. The Vehicle is equipped with advanced communication and command equipment, including a secure Internet network system, a continuous video feed link to communicate with rear command bases and other vehicles of the group, a command battle net setup, and mounts a rooftop 7.62mm machine gun. The Rear crew compartment is removed and replace with a large workstation area for 4 crewmembers to monitor combat situation and command operations.

IV-91/D ARV
The Armored Recovery Vehicle model of the IV-91 features a pull line capable of towing vehicles of up to 80 tons, a driver operated hydraulic crane and hydraulic winch system, and a 50-caliber machine gun mounted in the cupola. The front of the IV-91/D has a dozer blade attachment.

IV-91/S Mobile SAM system
(Still in developement)
