CR-20 Modular Assault Rifle
Sapinian Arms is proud to present Cravan's first indigenously produced 21st century assault rifle family, the CR-20 MAR! The following will introduce you to the rifle, and allow nations of the world to make a fine choice when choosing their next generation assault rifle.
Background
The CR-20 was designed and manufactured by the Sapinian Arms Corporation in an attempt to create the first indigenously designed and produced 21st century combat rifle. Design began in early 2005, and the first production model was unveiled on January 1st, 2007. The rifle is set to go into full production by the end of March or early April.
Purpose
The CR-20 was originally designed to replace the Aequatian-made M2 Infantry Carbine in the Imperial Guard as a SCAR (Special Operations Combat Assault Rifle). The M2 carbine has overall seen faithful service in the Cravanian military for the past ten years, serving as an efficient rifle design. However, as the design process continued the CR-20’s purpose changed from that of a SCAR to that of a general standard-issue assault rifle. Soon enough the design progressed to the point of being a modular assault rifle, which is where it stands currently.
Although several foreign alternatives were readily available, chief among them being the Aequatian G65 carbine, the Cravanian military saw it as wise to contract a domestic company to create the desired weapon. The result, of course, is a public opinion boost for commissioning an indigenously designed rifle, as well as a new reliance on domestic assets over outsourcing to other companies for military equipment.
Overview
The CR-20 is primarily made with composite carbon-reinforced fiberglass to create a lightweight and durable outer shell, while the inner workings and barrel are made of cold forged steel, similar in structural design to the M8. The CR-20 is made to be a rugged and versatile weapon, allowing for use in a myriad of environments as any high-performance modular assault rifle should be able to accomplish. The outer composite shell is resistant to harsh weather, dirt and mud, water, and a multitude of other natural forces. It is also resistant to wear and tear thanks to its strong (albeit expensive) carbon-reinforced structure, allowing it to take a heavy beating while in the field and still operate with a success. Its carbon-reinforced structure remains a lightweight and durable alternative to most other polymer and wooden-clad weapons.
The weapon is designed with accuracy, penetration, and range in mind, hence the choice for the robust 6.5x55mm ARAM. (the 6.35mm ARAM, Aequatian Republic Army Munitions, was originally adopted with the M2, however the Cravanian government has seen fit to bring the standard up to the 6.5) Although not quite as hard-hitting as the 7.62mm and larger rounds, the 6.5mm is capable of punching its way through body armor at long range, maintaining a high velocity in the process. The 6.5mm ARAM is, therefore, the perfect round for Cravanian purposes. For export versions, the rifle can of course be rechambered to fufill the needs of other nations, however the overall concept remains the same.
The weapon itself is a gas operated, rotating bolt automatic combat assault rifle, offering a rate of fire of approximately 680 rounds per minute. It has three firing modes, which include safe, single shot semi-automatic fire, and fully-automatic fire. The CR-20 also borrows a piston-driven system similiar in design to the HK-416, allowing for a full magazine of thirty rounds to be fired on fully automatic mode and the barrel to remain cool to the touch. This system is much cleaner and more efficient than most other automatic rifle actions, and makes the CR-20 an easily maintenanced rifle.
The CR-20 is also made to be an adaptable weapon, utilizing standard Picatinny rails mounted both above and below the barrel. On this modular rail a wide variety of items can be mounted, ranging from flashlights; laser pointers; various reflex, ACOG, or other optics; bipods; the CGL20 Underslung Grenade Launcher (or comparable models); and many more accessories.

A representation of the weapon's ironsights and scope view.
The rifle uses a unique iron sights system, consisting of three prongs protected by the sights' fiberglass housing. Two prongs sit in the rear housing, sitting on either side of the forward prong which is situated in the center of the sight. The prongs are tipped with tritium, to allow for use in all light environments. In the event that the forward sight is damaged the housing can be taken off with a simple screwdriver or most other easily acquired objects in the field such as a coin or knife, and the sight easily replaced. If the rear sights are damaged, the user can both use the rifle without the rear prongs (a diminished performance in accuracy of course occurs, however the rear housings provide for makeshift rear-prongs and serve as a reference) or replace them easily without having to remove the housing.
The default reflex sight which can be ordered with the rifle (or the rifle can be used with any other mounted scope which uses standard Picatinny rails to mount) is an adjustable 1-4x magnification scope, allowing for aiming at any distance with the sight. The scope has markings similiar in color to the iron sight, allowing for better visibility in all light environments. The central crosshair has two extra notches below to represent pre-determined ranges at certain magnification levels, and it also possesses a built-in rangefinding function in the lower-left quadrant of the sight, also in accordance with the magnification setting. This also improves shooter accuracy greatly, giving the soldier the edge he needs to make a well placed shot without having to guess distance. The default sight also features the ability to see through the bottom of the scope, and look down the rifle through the iron sights. (note: the image does not display this and will be modified when I get around to it) In the unlikely event the scope fails, a soldier can still use the iron sights in the heat of battle without fumbling with the scope to remove it.
Conclusion
The CR-20, designed with penetration and accuracy in mind, is a prime choice for a rifle for all purposes. Offering the adaptability of a light carbine and the durability of a full size rifle, the rate of fire of a squad automatic weapon and the hard-hitting force of a designated marksman rifle, the CR-20 fufills the needs of any modern army on the battlefield today.
Sapinian Arms hopes that you make the right choice when ordering your nation's next military-grade rifle, and that choice is the CR-20.
