History
The SeG-60 - SeG meaning Sergey, the design and initial production company, and 60 meaning 1960, the beginning first decade of service.
The SeG-60 was first created in 1956, when the new AK-47 easily outclassed the straight-pull bolt-action rifles in service with Antigran forces at the time.
Sergey took up a government request for a fully-automatic rifle firing existing rifle ammunition, and the SeG-60, under the test designation XR77, reached mock-up stage and prototype stage in the same year.
In late 1958, the first models were rolling off production lines, and by 1960 it was in service with all branches of the Marines, and had all but replaced the older rifles in the Army, although the Air Force was rather more stubborn to adopt it.
In the '60s it served alongside the Catteran Automatic Rifle and the SeG-G3 (a modified H&K G3)
Now, it remains in limited frontline service in all Antigran armed forces and is the standard rifle of Air Force field regiments, and it's sniper/DMR variant is the standard full-sized cartridge sniper rifle of the Marines, Air Force, and Army, and is the standard rifle for basic training in all three.
In the Antigran Territorial Guard, the equivalent of the UK's territorial army or the US national guard, the rifle is standard-issue.
Operation
The emergance of the now widely-used Uzi SMG in 1949 was quite a point of interest, not least with it's 'Wrap-Around' telescoping bolt system.
Sergey decided to adopt it, starting the trend for almost all Antigran automatic weapons to date.
The wrap-around bolt allowed for a significantly shorter gun, although the gun was not shortened as much as could be to keep a range advantage over other similar foreign rifles.
The bolt also reduced muzzle climb, although recoil itself would still remain.
Another side-effect was the low ROF, although at 470rpm - very nearly 8 rounds a second - it was still a respectable figure.
Cartridge
The standard rifle round of the time was the .30 AR, meaning Auto Rifle, developed for the Model 1923 Henley Machine-Gun, and later adopted for use in rifles.
This was adopted for the SeG-60. A powerful cartridge, it could easily penetrate light armour and the thinner walls, although it made the SeG-60 very difficult to, if not totally impossible to control in long bursts of automatic fire.
The cartridge has been upgraded with the times, and now often is found with a steel/lead JHP-FMJ hybrid.
Other Features
The weapon has numerous dust and dirt grooves, also inspired by the work of Uziel Galil and his Uzi SMG, to safeguard against dirt and dust.
It is equipped with accessory rails in the 1965 and 1968 Models, originally developed to attach scopes and bipods to, although these later found numerous other uses.
A clip-on handle for the barrel is contained in the buttstock and is used for detaching of a hot barrel and as a carrying handle.
The butt also contains a cleaning rod and has a rubber shock-absorbing cap at the end.
The 1965 revision has a gas regulator, allowing for varying rates of fire, and a multiple hammer/trigger safety.
A button is provided next to the magazine release which will manually actuate the ejection system, in case of jamming caused by faulty rounds.
Major Variants
- SeG-60B
http://i213.photobucket.com/albums/cc40/NS_Antigr/SeG-60B_Pic01.png
Paratrooper Carbine. This has a side-folding wire stock and pistol grip, and the forward grip and and barrel are shortened considerably.
This was respected but not overly adored by the Antigran paras, mostly due to the sheerly massive recoil.
- SeG-60C
http://i213.photobucket.com/albums/cc40/NS_Antigr/SeG-60C_Pic02.png
Designated Marksman Rifle/Sniper variant.
The standard full-size-rifle-round sniper rifle of Airborne, Marine, Air Force, and Army units.
Changes include an adjustable cheekrest and an adjustable version of the rubber shock-absorbing cap, 10x40mm adjustable telescopic sight, and a folding bipod, plus a longer barrel.
- SeG-60D
A modification of the SeG-60C, whereupon fully-automatic fire is disabled. In service, but not as widespread as the -60C.
