AR-22 Series of .450 Assault Weapons

The AR-22A3 with detachable M203X 40mm Grenade Launcher is a favorite of paratroopers and special operations forces.

The AR-22A4 is the latest incarnation of the AR-22 Series. The AR-22A4 is much smaller than its predecessor the AR-22A2.
The AR-22A4 is also designed as a modular and modifiable weapons system.
4 modifications are currently in service:

With integral 30mm Grenade Launcher

With integral 8 gauge shotgun

The orignal SR-22 was scrapped and built from the ground up from the AR-22A4 model. It features an integral lightweight bipod and custom sight clasp combination rail system for mounting all known accessories.

For many years The Phoenix Milita, like so many other nations, had relied upon 40mm grenade launchers to provide squad level fire support. Combat reports on weapons systems such as the M203X however, indicated that further research into the best grenade launcher caliber was needed. After many trials,
ALPHAtech Industries' 30x55mm K30 Squad Automatic Grenade Launcher was purchased in large numbers and began to replace the original M-69 "Schwarzenegger Grenader" which was chambered in the ubiquitous 40x46mm. For a short time in early 2005 it seemed that a non-Phoenix Dynamix designed weapon would become a mainstay of the Phoenix Milita's Army. The pride of top government and military officials got in the way of a total conversion, however, and the K30 went from front line issue to special, "luxury" issue and surplus storage within the first 6 months of its purchase. While ultimately leading to Major General Richard K. Lavent's early retirement, his mandate for adoption of the 30x55mm round in other weapons however, was able to persist beyond the shelving of the K30. The AR-22A2, which came out the same year as the acquisition of the K30, featured an integral 30mm grenade launcher based on the M30 Grenade Launcher -- which was designed as an underbarrel attachment for existing assault rifles compatible with the K30. Orders for the AR-22A2-- which had a large number of other improvements besides the grenade launcher-- exceeded 3 million within the first quarter, and before it could be stopped, hundreds of thousands were produced. The AR-22A2 was finally adopted with the 30mm grenade launcher for economic reasons and it became clear that 30x55mm was here to stay, even if the K30 SAGL wasn't. The M-69 remained in service for many years and its withdrawal from front-line service was met with much resistance from within the ranks. But Phoenix Dynamix was to come through and save the M-69 once and for all. They introduced the all new M-69A1, chambered in 30x55mm and improving upon all other shortcomings the original had.

With the MG-22 seriously lacking and its upgrades never completed, a new, capable machine gun was needed to take over the squad level .450 automatic weapon role. The MG-45 functions as a Squad Automatic Weapon and Light Machine Gun for The Phoenix Military

AR-20 Nemesis Assault Rifle Series of 6.66mm Assault Weapons
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v293/grunt74/NS1/Firearms/ar20114.gif
The full size AR-20 Nemesis chambered in 6.66mm is utilized heavily by the Marines and also by the Navy.

The compact AR-20A1 is favored by Marines and Sailors alike due to its compact size and excellent performance in the close quarters of a ship.
