Aequatian Military Industries G65 Infantry Combat Rifle

Since the introduction of the new 6.35x45mm Aequatian Republic Army Munition, the only weapons to use the round were modified variants of previous weapons such as the G4 and G6 rifles and MG55A3 squad automatic weapon. It was seen by designers that a weapon was required to fully display the round's capabilities in armour penetration and accuracy. Engineers at A.M.I. designed the G65 rifle to replace the G4A1 and G6A1 rifles currently in service throughout the Aequatian service branches.

Although designed for the Aequatian 6.35x45mm ARAM round, it can also be fitted to accept 5.56x45mm and 7.62x51mm NATO, 5.45x39mm, 7.62x39mm and 5.8x42mm DBP87.

The Aequatian variant is fitted with an M80 Floating Dot Sight with an effective viewing range of up to 800mm. It can also be outfitted with a 40mm M206A1 grenade launcher for light infantry support and a full universal rail system.

Thanks, I finally wanted a definitive rifle for my forces. My older designs always seemed like mixtures of other weapons.
