E19CS Special Forces Carbine

History
The Prestonian Armed Forces had long searched for what they could consider the "perfect" rifle. However, none had met their expectations fully. Desperate for a solution, they contacted Republic Defense Industries in 2009 with a simple request: create an assault rifle to define the military. Within 16 months, and with the help of the Odinian military, this dream was realized. The E19 Series combined all the best elements of several weapons, and introduced some of it's own. The rifle is expected to serve proudly in the Prestonian and Odinian militaries for several years to come.

Technical
The E19 Series Assault Rifles combine the best aspects of the AK47, HK416, and FN SCAR-L. It has the modularity of the SCAR, the reliability of the AK, and the look and feel of the HK416. The rifle operates on a gas-operated, rotating bolt mechanism, making it highly resistant to dirt and fouling. In tests, the prototype was put through 20,362 rounds without a failure. The E19A4 comes with a quick-change barrel system, available in 14 inches (seen in the first picture), 16.5 inches, or 20 inches (for use as designated marksman rifle or light support weapon). Also included is an adjustable position stock, allowing for soldiers of different sizes.

Ballistics
The Prestonian High Command had long recognized that the old 5.56x45mm NATO round was simply too small to do significant damage in these days of Dragonskin armor and high-tech battlesuits. On a similar token, the 7.62mm rounds were found to be too inaccurate in sustained full-auto fire. The compromise was achieved in the new 6.75x53mm round. The round was set in copper jacketing and given steel tips for advanced armor piercing capabilities. The steel tip is further reinforced by a lead core. This round has demonstrated an average ability to penetrate Dragonskin armor, penetrating fully or partially in 6 out of 10 attempts.

John Hazelwood
Calizorinstan Minister of Defense

FROM: DANTAG Heavy Inustries Corporation
TO: Republic Defense Industries

We wish to purchase 35 Examples of each with all the extras,for testing purposes

Thank You

both requests are noted and will be considered. We wil let you know if you're cleared or not shortly.
OOC: The only reason I can't sell them right away is because of S. Odinia's (and partially my) desire to keep this in the hands of strong allies only.

Alfegos Ministry of War

We wish to purchase 20 of these rifles for field testing and proving.

OOC- holy fucking shit, that gun is awsome

IC
we wish give 2 million credits to whever designed this awsome gun, and we would also like to buy construction rights

OOC: Is this the same round used by the DR-83 weapon family?

Edit: I checked and it is, both rounds are the same size so theoretically the 6.7x53 Doomani Imperial Cartridge could be used in the E19.

OOC: Aurum, yeah it's slightly bigger and built differently, but for all intents and purposes a Doomani round could be used if necessary. Caz, all credit goes to Agrandov, a former NSer who I persuaded to part with his design in exchange for me keeping his designation (hence the E19) and crediting him for the pictures.
