On behalf of the nation of Anarresa, the Ishukone Arms Corporation is proud to present Anarresa’s new military rifle, the ARI-26. The result of over one decade of research and testing, the ARI-26 has been held to some of the highest standards for an Anarresan rifle design to date. It is capable in operating in heat in excess of 50 degrees Celsius, and cold as much as 75 degrees below; the ARI-26 can and will operate in any environment its operator can withstand, allowing commanders all the light infantry flexibility they need. Every ARI is fully ambidextrous and can be converted for left or right side cartridge ejection. (Not necessary if using ceaseless ammunition versions. Additionally the ARI does away with traditional fire selection, opting for a Steyr AUG style selection utilizing strength of the trigger pull to determine weather to initiate fully automatic operation or semi automatic. (A short pull for semi and a forceful pull for full auto) The ARI also includes a 40x250mm utility bay for any number of attachments including, Tac-Lights, Lasers, Hand Grips, Electronically Fired Disposable Grenade Tubes, or even compact submachine gun attachments. The utility area was designed with mobility and functionality in mind, giving the operator the options her or she needs to make full use of the rifle system. The ARI-26 was designed with maximum efficiency, reliability, and functionality in mind.

[Nice looking gun.

Looks like a FAMAS G2, A P90, and a G36 listened to some Barry White while locked in a room together. ^_-

Where'd you get the pictuar?]

OOC: that appears to be a modified Fabrique Nationale F2000

OOC:
Its a customised airsoft gun. A FAMAS with a G36C top rail is common airsoft mod/conversion but this one went further and added a P-90 grip assembly, if do a bit of searching on the various airsoft forums you should be able to find a how to guide for it.

On the rifle Specs the main issue I have is the claimed interchangability between cased and caseless ammo as generally speaking you need somewhat specialised mechanims for caseless ammo to solve the chamber/breach sealing issue but i usppose a bit of hand waving could be used to justify using a more conventional mechanism for caseless round as opposed to having to resort to a HK style, rotating, revolver or dropping breach system.

Strathdonia you get a cookie for figuring out the real pics.

As for caseless operation, for rp purposes theres a entierly seperate reciever and diffrent parts for the caseless version and is not easily compatable. As for G11 style caseless operation (with all that bloody round turning) I find the classic rifle look more appealing, so I work some NS magic and get it to work this way. :p

So to restate, I did not claim nor does interchangability between caseless and cased rounds exist. The caseless version and the cased versions are in a sense seperate rifles, divided less by caliber but more by mechanism and operation.

bump for sales/stuff

The RMSMC, on behalf of Kala River Armoury, has been authorized to request three ARI-26 assault / battle rifles, chambered for the 5.56x45mm NATO cartridge.

To satisfy any curiosity on your behalf, these weapons are intended for testing and comparison purposes. There will be no need to worry about potential reverse-engineering of the weapon, as its bullpup design prevents it from being considered for use as a service weapon for the Military or any Law Enforcement group inside Russkya.

The appropriate funds (4950 USD) will be wired to the specified account upon confirmation of sale.

Best Regards,
- Ivan Gaslukatov, RMSMC, PSR-Russkya.
