History

The K29 Automatic Rifle brings to fruition a decade-long research and development project that focussed on three aspects: the rifle, the ammunition and the sight. Started by Overwatch Inc. in 1999, the first usable result came in 2002 with the production of the XK14 General Infantry Weapon. This evolved into the XK17 in 2004, the first of the series to use Cased Telescopic Ammunition (CTA). In 2006 the XK22 was swiftly rejected from a contest to be the primary weapon for Agrandov’s Central State Marine Corps, although the series was starting to get noticed. The XK26 was used in limited quantities with the Central State Air Force, although the breakthrough came in 2007 with the XK27, Model 4. The rifle was everything the Army was looking for, and tests were merely a formality with the K274 set to be the next service rifle for the soldiers in Agrandov.

In early 2008 however, during the final round of testing, the K274 was blindsided by a joint venture between Stalwart Inc. – Overwatch’s main rivals – and Doomingsland Defense Industries. This unlikely union produced the AVIR Advanced Personal Weapon System, which is still the fastest-selling small-arm in history. Overwatch designers were sent furiously back to the drawing board as the AVIR started to replace the mixed-bag of rifles in Agrandan service. The team, now a few hundred members strong with a division of mercenaries employed full time for testing, emerged in mid 2008 with a revised and improved weapon called the K28 Automatic Rifle (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=562643).

Arising just as some officials were having second thoughts about the AVIR’s 6.7x35mm CTA ammunition, the K28 was adopted by all elements of the CSMC and CSAF. The Agrandan Army in a snap decision adopted the new AVIR 2 as a PDW to replace existing AVIR systems, and took up the K28 as the standard service rifle. The K28 performed exceptionally well on the international market, being adopted in the hundreds of millions by several armies of Gholgoth and even some of Haven. It is estimated that there are 1.5 billion original K28 rifles or licensed copies in existence. An immediate follow-up was planned for the special-forces market, a bullpup conversion of the K28 billed tentatively as the K29.

Disaster struck in November 2008 however as Overwatch Inc. surprisingly went bankrupt. All twelve of the Board of Directors, as well as the CEO and seventeen senior managers were indicted on charges of murder after evidence emerged linking the company to the “crash” of a government-owned helicopter in 2006. Thirty of the top fifty shareholders sold off all of their stock to prepare for the impending legal fees in a scandal that destroyed all confidence in the company. The remains were bought up eagerly by rivals Stalwart Inc., who immediately saw promise in the pending K29 system and took it on as a priority project.

Description

The K29 Automatic Rifle straddles the gap between the true “assault” rifles and the larger “battle” rifles, similar to the K28 in that it can be used in a variety of roles without any modification. However, the bullpup design brings a significant disadvantage in this regard as the K29 cannot comfortably accept high capacity magazines; ensuring a niche for the K28 as a support weapon. Despite this drawback the K29 is vastly superior in both the assault and sniper roles, offering improved performance in a shorter and much lighter unit. The K29 is also better balanced, as with the S11v4 and standard forend the point of balance is just above the pistol grip. This makes the rifle feel lighter, and it makes it much easier to manoeuvre. It uses long-stroke gas operation, with the barrel spring-locked to the gas system for lasting consistency when firing.

The weapon uses the same internal system as the K28, resulting in 90% internal parts commonality. The heavy steel bolt carrier and other moving parts were kept to mitigate recoil, and the recoil spring has been replaced with one that is shorter and tougher. Recoil is also reduced with a balanced gas system that has been present since the K274. This removes three out of the four contributors to recoil, making the K29 controllable in fully-automatic fire using the new M235 ammunition in Agrandan service. The internal system delivers the same extreme reliability and accuracy the K28 was famous for, and the longer 500mm barrel used as standard means that there is a noticeable performance increase.

Perhaps the most important feature of the K29 is the hybrid closed/open bolt system on the automatic setting. In semi-automatic the weapon fires each shot from a closed bolt for maximum accuracy, requiring one trigger pull per shot for accurate and deliberate fire. On the fully automatic setting however, the weapon fires the first shot from the closed bolt position and then fires from an open bolt. The forward assist is applied automatically when the trigger is pulled, meaning that each burst will be fired with maximum accuracy without the shooter having to continually reach for the charging handle to close the bolt. To do this a two-stage trigger was used, meaning that when a light force is applied the trigger stops moving and the bolt closes. If the trigger is pulled from this point 2.5kg of pull is required to fire the weapon, but if the trigger is released then the bolt stays closed.

The K29, like the K28, features two ejection ports which the user can quickly switch between for maximum ambidexterity. This is done by pressing a sharp object - usually the standard push-pin removal tool - into an opening just behind of the ejection. When active, a red marker is present in the opening. The other controls of the rifle are completely ambidextrous: there is a fire selector on each side and the magazine release is operated by either one of the user’s thumbs. The charging handle is also present on both sides, so the weapon can be used by anyone without alteration.

In a radical departure from the previous rifles in the series, the K29 uses Carbon Fibre Reinforced Plastic (CFRP) for the vast majority of external construction. This is even stronger then the steel-framed polymer of the K28, and it is around 40% lighter to minimise the weight of the K29. Although this new design meant that some modularity had to be sacrificed, the K29 is still very flexible with a full length attachment rail running along the top of the weapon. The lower portion of the forend can be switched between Standard, Tactical and Bayonet configurations depending on doctrine, and the barrel can be changed in under a minute. To change the barrel, the operator removes the lower forend and uses the release lever to unlock the barrel. The barrel is unscrewed and removed, with a new barrel being screwed in. It is locked with the lever, and the forend is replaced.

The CFRP housing for the weapon provides an excellent opportunity for customisation, and to capitalise on this the K29 is available in a multitude of camouflage options. All forend options, the S11v4 sight and the E901 grenade launcher are all available in the same high-quality digital patterns to maximise the concealability of the rifle in combat conditions. The camouflage options are:
---Generic: Good in all areas where specialist camouflage is not available. Image: http://img262.imageshack.us/img262/921/k2912ix5.png
---Desert: Great for arid and dusty climates, also good for urban, mountainous or snowy conditions. Image: http://img212.imageshack.us/img212/1151/k2919aj5.png
---Grassland: Great for grassy plains, also good for woodland, or tropical areas. Image: http://img241.imageshack.us/img241/5181/k2920hj9.png
---Light Woodland: Great for woodlands, custom made for the Franberran military. Image: http://img258.imageshack.us/img258/1557/k2924yb8.png
---Dark Woodland: Great for woodlands, also good in grasslands or tropical areas. Image: http://img514.imageshack.us/img514/3275/k2918ey1.png
---Night: Great for night-time use in any environment, also good in urban or tropical conditions. Image: http://img142.imageshack.us/img142/6753/k2922rj7.png
---Urban: Great for use in built-up areas, any climate. Also good in desert or mountainous areas. Image: http://img408.imageshack.us/img408/2194/k2917sf3.png
---Urban 2: A custom pattern requested by a private group. Further information is classified. Image: http://img146.imageshack.us/img146/5669/k29knd7.png
---Marine: Ideal for various conditions, based on the famous Doomani camouflage pattern. Image: http://img175.imageshack.us/img175/9325/k2916kc0.png
---Arctic: Ideal for snowy, mountainous and some urban areas. Image: http://img392.imageshack.us/img392/7350/k2921cy1.png

The K29 in standard configuration is compatible with the E901 40mm Grenade Launcher, which is a breach-loading device of conventional design. The launcher clips to a special mount at the front of the rifle, two holes in the bottom of the forend and the trigger guard. This fastening is very secure, and with sighting equipment the E901 is capable of hitting point targets out to 200m. With the tactical forend applied almost any grenade launcher can be mounted, as well as a wide variety of other aftermarket accessories.

Ammunition

The development of high quality ammunition was crucial to the success of the project, so when Stalwart Inc. brought in the K29 they kept the proprietary 7x50mm CTA round. This round is already in widespread use due to the success of the K28. The key to this round is that it is larger than it needs to be, allowing low-power loadings to be used as standard and then high power rounds for sniper or mounted machine-gun use. This allows extensive commonality in manufacturing, maintenance, sighting and other systems without sacrificing the flexibility of having light and heavy rounds for different purposes.

The K274 and K28 used the medium-weight 8.5g projectiles in the M209 round, with the heavier 10.5g M219 for specialist use. The K29 continues this tradition to utilise the exceptional ballistics of the M209, with a lighter 6.5g bullet planned to be introduced for the K29C carbine where recoil could be seen as an issue. A new M226 round is also in development to use a massive 14g bullet, offering exceptional single-shot performance for snipers or competition shooters.

The rounds used for the K29 are – like in the K274 and K28 before it – Cased Telescopic Ammunition. CTA rounds are shorter and lighter than regular rounds, although a case is still present to extract dirt and heat from the weapon when it fires. The casings of M209, M219 and M235 rounds are made from aluminium for minimum weight and maximum heat absorption. Compared to Doomani 6.7x53mm rounds a soldier can carry 40% more 7x50mm CTA ammunition, and this is 50% more when compared to 7.62x51mm NATO rounds.

Of course, 7x50mm CTA ammunition for use with the K29 can be produced freely by any party as long as the new round is not a direct copy of an existing round.

S11v4 Advanced Combat Sight

The S11v4 Advanced Combat Sight is perhaps the most important part of the system. The main unit is a variable zoom scope with a range of 1-4x. All of these settings are available without a battery, with a simple crosshair providing a high-quality optical device. The capabilities expand rapidly with the inclusion of a lithium-ion battery in the base of the sight, as a red or green dot is projected inside the scope. This can be toggled between a simple 0.5 MOA dot for long range use, a 1 MOA dot with a 40 MOA ring for close-combat use, and a special grenade sight for high-velocity 40mm munitions.

Above the scope is a small polymer window that shows the frontal ninety degrees of a compass, helping the operator to navigate or relay positional information without putting the weapon down or taking their eye off the enemy. This is greatly enhanced by the digital rangefinger, which projects range information to the nearest metre directly into the scope for the operator to view. This device is mounted below the scope and has a limit of two kilometres.

The S11v4 also features an infra-red laser, mounted on the left hand side between the scope and rangefinder. This laser is only visible to personnel wearing night-vision goggles, and is primarily used to assist reflex-aiming and identification in low-light conditions.

The controls for the S11v4 are simple. An On/Off switch toggles the power-requiring aspects of the sight, which will all shut off automatically if the weapon does not move at all for one hour. Two buttons on the back of the sight switch between two presets: 1x zoom with the dot and ring and 3x zoom with the smaller dot. A small switch is used to change between red or green projections, and a slide on the left hand side gives the full range of 1-4x zoom.

The sight with battery weighs a total of 850g, and is built with the sturdy solid materials as the K29 rifle itself

Performance

Although the performance of the K29 is only a marginal improvement over the K28, it achieves this in a much more compact and lightweight form. However, the main attraction of the K29 system is that it takes advantage of the full power of the S11v4 sight, offering the infantryman a superior combat system to almost any opponent on the battlefield. The soldier using this weapon can easily spot and relay the position of the enemy, and engage with first-round-hits from over eight hundred metres. The 7x50mm CTA round remains highly lethal even at extended ranges, and the improved closed/open bolt system using the trigger has already shown itself to be a vital asset to the weapon. This feature alone resulted in a 30% increase in overall accuracy when it was implemented, and it is taken for granted that this innovation will be used on nearly all future Stalwart products.

The K29 will shortly be introduced to various units in the Agrandan military, and although it will not outright replace the K28 it will complement it as a weapon for marksmen and other specialists. The K29 is a perfect match for Special Forces where cost is less of an issue and light, compact, reliable and lethal weapons are required. The K29C compact carbine is ideally suited for clandestine operators, vehicle crews or urban operations, where the fighting will be close range and a compact, manoeuvrable weapon is the best option.

Stonewall Back up Iron Sight (BUIS) system-
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v203/jay3135/guns/fsightview.png
The Stonewall Folding Sight System, on target day or night.

Origin-
The Stonewall Back up Iron Sight (BUIS) system was developed both to compliment the now established Sentinel Holosight, and also to improve the innate capabilities of the many varied rifles then in service with the Royal Guards and separate services. With the increasing amount of red-dot sights on the market today the ability for a rifle to accept a Rail Interface System or RIS is becoming increasingly important. As the amount of RIS mounts increase the available the number of fixed sights both front, and rear are decreasing rapidly as manufacturers and militaries turn to primarily optical sight systems. This in turn spawned a greater trend towards the removable secondary sights capable of ‘Co-Witnessing’ or use of the back up iron sights through the red dot or other optical sight in the case of an emergency.

Like the Sentinel Holosight, the Stonewall system is designed and engineered to go ‘in harms way’ and survive the rugged and often rough life that is a rifles secondary sight system. As in all recent Argus sights, the Stonewall system was designed, initially stress tested, and put into production entirely on computer thanks to Argus’ advanced CAD/CAM facilities of their Port Arase manufacturing center. Its from this high efficiency and precision that these sights can be constructed to survive such rigors, while still retaining their precision and accuracy in the field.


Overview-
A good set of iron sights is important for any rifle, and the Stonewall sight system takes it very seriously. Both the rear sight, and the front sight start off with CNC machined chrome-moly alloy steel base. The underside of the sight where the sight base makes contact with the rails is stippled to increase gripping friction and prevent the sight from slipping while stored or slung. This provides a strong base material and surface that will hold tightly to any rail system in any conditions. The upper sight bracket is made of T6 grade aluminum that prevents shifting of the weapons balance when deployed or stowed due to its lightweight construction. Both the lightweight but tough upper section, and diehard tough lower section is Titanium Carbon-Nitride or TiCN coated in a non-reflective gray/black mil spec finish for superior toughness, corrosion, and scratch resistance.

The Stonewall system is released by an ambidextrous release made from anodized aluminum (shown in green, though many colors are available) with locking detent that secures the sight both folded and deployed removing the possibility of accidental deployment or closing due to movement. The spring assist for both the release and the sight deployment are heat-treated and stress relieved chrome silicon, having an exceptionally long service life, and corrosion resistance. Compared to the traditional steel springs found on most back–up iron sights, the Chrome-silicon springs are corrosion resistant and take less ‘set’ meaning consistent power and effect on each and every deployment

Both front and rear sights are internally adjustable for drop via an inset screw, allowing for a sight to retain its elevation settings even when removed from the rail. Windage adjustment for the rear sight is accomplished in roughly half an MOA per click adjustments depending on the sight distance and length of the weapons barrel. High visibility white enamel is used to fill engraved lines and insets that demote full MOA adjustments, and control functions making them easy to operate even in low light conditions. The contrasting tritium lamps provide fast sight acquisition, and the A2-style dual aperture rear sight allows for close and ranged fighting in any weather or lighting conditions with merely a flip of the sight.

The Stonewall BUIS system can greatly increase the fighting capability of a soldier should his primary sight be damaged in the course of battle with only a simple touch of the release button. This redundancy is necessary on the modern battlefield as even in the best of times Murphy’s Law can quickly turn the tide of fate.

Official Request for Procurement

Greetings.

The Akimonad Defence Forces have been surprised by the excellent performance of the K28 rifle against communist tyranny. It has become the mainstay of all Akimonadi forces and virtually all other forces that fight for freedom.

Similarly, the AVIR's performance was also well above expectations.

However, the K29 has made us raise our eyebrows. It is quite simply stunning.

The ADF has decided to make the K29 the new service rifle for all branches. Furthermore, it will be distributed to Security Service personnel, and diplomatic guards (conditions permitting).

We would like to order 250 million K29 rifles, with 25 million of each having each set of camouflage available (except Urban 2). The cost for this is NSD 379,500,000,000.

We would also like to acquire 5 million K29C carbines in matte black. The cost for this is NSD 6,000,000,000.

We would also like 250 million A198 Tactical Grip and Bipods, with every 62,500,000 being separate colors. The cost for this is NSD 137,500,000,000.

We would also like 150 million S11v4 Advanced Combat Sights. The cost for this is NSD 262,500,000,000.

Total cost for our order is NSD 785,500,000,000.

To whom it may concern, Buddha C military.

There are no 'production rights' available for the K29 rifle, orders must specify the desired type and quantity of equipment and it will be shipped from our production facilities in Gholgoth. However, if the order is of substantial size and the economic climate is permitting then it could be possible to open a new division of Stalwart and produce the rifles locally. This would drastically cut down on shipping times and would have no effect on the price of our products.

Any attempts to produce illegal copies of Stalwart products will be resisted.

THE HOLY EMPIRE OF ANEMOS MAJOR (THIRD)

The Holy Empire of Anemos Major, Holy Office of War, Air Force Special Operations.

Greetings to Agrandov. It has become apparent that the IFAM AR4 previously selected for use by the Special Operations force is very prone to jamming in bad conditions, and due to the nature of the operations carried out by the unit and the areas they are conducted in, the Holy Office of War has approved a re-trial of various weapons. We have taken an interest in the K29, and would like to purchase the following. We will buy them in large quantities for testing; if they pass, then we will not have to spend more time ordering more, and if they do not meet our expectations then they will probably be transferred to an urban special forces combat unit.

We would like to purchase:
-2000x K29 automatic rifles, bayonet compatible, in matte black.
-2000x S11v4 Advanced Combat Sights

We believe that the total price comes to: 6700000 NSD

Thank you very much,
The Holy Office of War (Air Force), Anemos Major

The Holy Empire of Anemos Major, Holy Office of War, Military Intelligence Battalion 45.

Recently, we have begun a program to find a weapon which our field operators can easily conceal and use, and although we were planning to purchase some IMI Tavors for this purpose, the Air Force Special Operations Next Generation Combat Rifle Trials have revealed the existence of this alternative to us, and we believe that it may be a better choice.

We would like to purchase-
400x K29 carbine configuration, matte black
400x S11v4 ACS

This comes to 1180000 NSD, which will be wired upon confirmation.

In addition, we would like to ask whether it is possible to ask you to produce a silencer for this carbine. We will pay whatever is needed, including research fees.

Thank you very much, and we look forward to hearing from you.
The Holy Office of War (Military Intelligence), Anemos Major.

Dear Sir:

As per tender 3FFI-2008-81, "Force for the Future: Advanced Infantry Combat Gear", we are pleased to announce the selection of:

Stalwart Incorporated K29 Automatic Rifle
Stalwart Incorporated K29C Automatic Carbine
All associated attachments

and

Argus Industrial Manufacturing Sentinel Holosight
Argus Industrial Manufacturing Stonewall Back Up Iron Sight (BUIS) System
Doomingsland Defense Industries LGFM Grenade Launcher

as being entirely suitable for fulfilling the Standard Assault Rifle, Standard Carbine Rifle, and Underslung Grenade Launcher Attachment subsections of this tender.

We are, therefore, pleasured to offer Stalwart Incorporated, Argus Industrial Manufacturing and Doomingsland Defense Industries the opportunity to open manufacturing centres and maintenance departments within the nation of Brittanican Adenia. The K29 and K29C will be implemented from top-down through all aspects of the Adenian Armed Services, from serving forces to reservist training.

Naturally, with an armed forces numbering around 18,000 serving combat personnel in the Territorial Ground Service alone, we can appreciate that any facilities built are likely to be larger than we ourselves require. We therefore are willing to allow export of any surplus produced rifles from Adenia with a zero per cent export tariff.

Yours,

Brigadier Owen Fowler-Rogers
By Her Majesty's Orders

Your order has been confirmed!

Procurement Department, Brittanican Adenia

It appears that there is some confusion concerning our sales practices for the K29 Automatic Rifles and the associated equipment. Our products are only sold of a numerical basis, it is currently disagreeable for us to offer long-term contracts of any nature. Should you wish to place an order on behalf of the Adenian Royal Armed Services then this order will be judged in perspective of the Adenian economic situation. If we conclude that it would be profitable to cut shipping costs by manufacturing the rifles locally, then facilities will be constructed to handle this. Once all equipment has been supplied then these facilities will be switched to a newer Stalwart produced or sold to recuperate costs.

Our factories will be built unilaterally in free-market nations where the entirety of the order cannot be produced within 30 days. Stalwart Inc. currently has around 300 million K29 rifles in storage, and can produce up to 12 million units per day with production facilities around the world.

Due to current ongoing military exercises, the 45th are currently following First Level Security Protocols and therefore must guard their messages as carefully as possible. We have tested the K29 and found it very, very reliable; however, could you please inform us if it is possible to comission a silencer built for this weapon?

The K29 series of rifles will accept the vast majority of sound suppressors in the 7mm calibre. Stalwart Inc. has not invested in the production of such a device because of this. A suppressor was in development but has been postponed indefinitely, and will not be available in the foreseeable future.
