Seems like a solid weapons system, what kind of attachments can it have on it? What kind of enviroments is it rated for? And How much maitence does it require?

OOC:
Muzzle velocity seem a bit high but you really should provide more detial on the round itslef, i.e. bullet weightm case dimensions etc.

Length stats seem to indcate a conventional layout rifle as oppsoed to a bullpup as illustrated.

What kind of gas operation are you using? common kinds are long stroke, short stroke and direct impingment.

A 50 round magzine will likely be far too heavy and bulky, try a 20 round mag or at most 30 rounds.

OOC:Ty for the advice. This is only my second design so advice is more than welcomed.

My round is basically a soviet with my name on it.

If it is just a rebadged 7.62x54mmR then you would liekly be better quoting your muzzle velocity at about 850m/s

Now if you wanted to keep the same perfromance stats and "modernise" the round, you could remove the rim and for flavour add a mm or 2 to the case length so you can call it something like 7.62x55mm Chernobl

ooc: 7.62x39? or is it the 54R?
